We were lucky to catch up with Cierra Lebed recently and have shared our conversation below.
Cierra, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Are you happier as a creative? Do you sometimes think about what it would be like to just have a regular job? Can you talk to us about how you think through these emotions?
I love being a creative makeup artist, before I started working in the beauty industry I did have a regular job in the food business for a couple of years. After attending a couple of makeup schools and put my foot through the door in the makeup industry finally, I didn’t want to go back to a regular job. I’m so much happier where I am now
Cierra, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
I always wanted to work in the beauty industry for years but never got the proper education at first when I moved to Texas. About five years of living here, I finally got my education at Boss Beauty Makeup Academy and shortly after at L Makeup institute. After graduating from school it started off really slow to grab any work but I finally push myself out there with working with photographers I shortly started working at beauty counters like MAC cosmetics, then Sephora
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
My goal in my makeup journey is that I want to work in the movie industry. I’d love to be able to work on set
How did you build your audience on social media?
I build my instagram when I first started my journey, that’s what I mainly used at first then slowly started going on tik tok but recently I built my own personal website so I can start getting more bookings. My advice for building social media is to be consistent about it, always post, hashtags and messages on it will help you grow more and more.
