We were lucky to catch up with LaPrincia Hobdy recently and have shared our conversation below.
Hi LaPrincia, thanks for joining us today. What do you think it takes to be successful?
I can start by saying being successful comes with a I can do anything mindset. I feel like having a positive mindset, that you can do whatever you put your mind to and never give up. Some days I feel drained like I can’t achieve my goals. But then I think about how far I have come and that motivates me to keep going. My mom always tells me success doesn’t happen overnight; it takes patience. I walk with my head held high and I have confidence in my business. I know it will do great.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
Hello all of my lovely people my name is LaPrincia. I have my own cosmetic line LAPRINCIA’S Cosmetics. That consist of Matte lipsticks and lip glosses. I also am a Makeup artist (Makeup by LaPrincia). Beauty has been in my life since I was 4 years old. I remember watching my mom do her makeup every single day after school, on the weekends, even in the car haha. I have always been big on the beauty industry and watching how it has grown over the years is so beautiful. I have done makeup at Dallas Fashion week and was invited out to New York Fashion week. I want to become a celebrity makeup artist for tv shows, news channels, and etc.
I feel like my personality is a huge stand out. I’m always smiling and having a positive mindset for me and others. I love making people laugh so when you sit down in my chair to get glammed or even purchase products from my line. I will pray for you and get you on a positive note before you leave me.
I love when my clients get their makeup done and they feel happy and beautiful. I love the excitement. I want to say thank you so much to all my clients, followers, and fans. You all help motivate me to keep going each and every day.

What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?
Growing clientele for me has helped so much from social media. My family and friends play a big role in that too. I feel like when I post a picture on my newsfeed, or my story and I put under the picture Makeup by LaPrincia or LAPRINCIA’S Cosmetics on the lips. That instantly opens doors for me to gain more clientele. Especially for last minute makeup needs my DM’S go crazy, and I love it.
Do you have any insights you can share related to maintaining high team morale?
I feel like being organized is the key no matter if you have a big team or a small team. Communication is a must where would we be without it. I love to make sure all products are fresh as far as lipsticks and lip glosses. Also making sure the labels go on the right products. When I see orders come in, I instantly go ahead and pack up everything to get shipped out instead of waiting.
