We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Kalasia Wilson a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Kalasia, thanks for joining us today. When did you first know you wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally?
So I used to do make up whenever I was at a very young age. I started at the age of 13. At first I was very horrible at it but that’s what makes everything best practice makes perfect so I started practicing when I turn 15 I practice more on my eyebrows, but they were very bad at first I didn’t start getting good at make up until I turned 17. lots of people tell me I should become a make up artist and at first I was scared to do it because I didn’t really believe in myself but eventually I took that risk and I started my own make up business
Kalasia, 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?
So I took the risk and started doing my clients make up and building my clientele and I think I’ve been pretty successful so far and it I also do modeling so whenever I go to fashion shows or whenever I’m booked to the photo shoot and I see other models I give them my make up business cards just in case they ever want to get their make up done for show, etc.
How did you build your audience on social media?
So eventually, I started to build my make up artist portfolio so when my clients view my page on Instagram, they will see the work that I do. Also, I will promote my business on different websites and different pages also by promoting it on Instagram and making ads.
What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?
So I’m currently going to aesthetician school here in September 2023 and my goal is whenever I get my license to be specialized in more things and just make up including vaccines and facial hair and skin care and eventually I will on my own shot, but first, I want to work in the shop to build my clientele
