Today we’d like to introduce you to Tia Cross
Hi Tia, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I first learned to do makeup on myself at 15 years old, seven years ago. Occasionally, I’d do makeup for my friends just for fun, but I never took it seriously. Then, two years ago, when I was 20, my cousin asked me to do her makeup for prom, and she became my very first paying client. That experience made me realize how passionate I am about makeup. Shortly after, I came up with a brand name, designed a logo, and took a professional makeup class. Over the past two years, I’ve been doing makeup on and off, but this year, I’ve really focused on working hard and staying consistent.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
No journey is without its obstacles, especially when entering the world of entrepreneurship. This experience has been both inspiring and challenging. One of my biggest hurdles has been maintaining consistency and believing that this path is the right one for me. I grew up in a practical family where everyone either pursued higher education or worked a 9-to-5 job, which made me feel like I had to do the same. However, I eventually realized that I have a unique purpose, and investing in my craft is what truly aligns with my dreams.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I’m a makeup artist who specializes in all styles of glam, though I have a soft spot for soft glam. What excites me most is when clients ask for an editorial look—it allows me to tap into my creativity and pushes me to try new things. I’m especially proud of having had the opportunity to do makeup for two fashion shows in my career. What makes me stand out from other makeup artists is my genuine passion for my work. I put love into every application and always go above and beyond to meet my clients’ needs and bring their vision to life.
