Life & Work with Opal Francis of Houston

Today we’d like to introduce you to Opal Francis.

Hi Opal, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I started doing makeup at a very young age for friends and family after watching hours and hours of Youtube videos, later on creating them and turning this hobby of mine into a business.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Is anything ever a smooth road? I believe the harder the climb is, the better the view will be. It has been challenging to find what part of the makeup industry I want to focus on, I have tried anything from theater makeup to fashion shows, events and photoshoots. It’s always hard to niche down.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I am a makeup artist. In recent years my specialty has been the fashion world, between fashion shoots to fashion shows. I specialize in natural glam which works really well for many things, I have developed a special style that I believe when you see my work, you can tell who did it.

Risk taking is a topic that people have widely differing views on – we’d love to hear your thoughts.
Moving to New York at the age of 20 right after Covid to pursue my dreams of getting into the fashion world on a larger scale, a month after heart surgery!
