I am signed with Pastorini Bosby.

God has really opened doors.

Has it been a smooth road?
It hasn’t been a smooth road. I worked for free a lot in the beginning! When you are a freelance artist, sometimes there is work and sometimes, there is not. I chose to find opportunities and not wait for them to come to me. My advice for young women just starting is don’t be afraid to meet and network with new people. Take the opportunities even if you are afraid! You never know where they may lead you!

What do you do, what do you specialize in, what are you known for, etc. What are you most proud of? What sets you apart from others?
I do a little bit of everything! I do live makeup tutorials on FB! I work bridal, Commercial, Editorial, Production, corporate headshots, and Television Hair and Makeup, as well as other specialties not limited to Photo Shoot Hair and Makeup for Headshots, Family Portraits, Maternity, Senior Photos, and Boudoir Shoots. Roxana also offers makeup tutorials and classes.

In 2017, I partnered with a professional makeup brand called Limelife by Alcone. IA professional makeup company that has been in the industry for 65 years! I provide my clients with the best of the best and gives them the right tools to apply their makeup at home! From that, I grew a sales team of women that share their passion for makeup and has helped them grow their businesses. I want to help change the stigma of direct sales!

So much of the media coverage is focused on the challenges facing women today, but what about the opportunities? Do you feel there are any opportunities that women are particularly well-positioned for?
Direct Sales has been a huge game-changer for my business! Tying the makeup and what I do has really given me a platform I have been missing for so long! I think every makeup artist should consider partnering with a company like this. Being able to provide my clients with the exact products I use on them and then teach them how to do it is HUGE!
