We were lucky to catch up with Shar’Quasia Hudson recently and have shared our conversation below.
Shar’Quasia, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. We’d love to hear about when you first realized that you wanted to pursue a creative path professionally.
I knew I wanted to pursue a creative path in high school, when I first began to be interested in makeup. During college is when I actually started to create content for social media. In 2019/2020, I was able to create content and grow my social media platforms and gained thousands of followers and supporters.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
My name is Shar’Quasia Hudson. I specialize in Special Effects Makeup for the film industry and I am a beauty makeup artist. I started my special effects journey in 2019 while in college. I love being able to express myself creatively through my work. I am most proud of my ability to stand out and achieve my goals within my career. I have been able to work alongside many artists and film directors.
We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?
I was able to build my audience on social media by being consistent with my content. I started my Youtube channel, and I posted content regularly on there, Instagram, and Facebook. Some of my work has gone viral, and I’ve been able to reach thousands of people around the world which is a blessing. I absolutely love what I do and I love being able to share my creativity with the world.
For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
The most rewarding aspect of being a special effects artist is seeing my work come together. The makeup looks that I create sometimes take hours, but trusting the process is key. Also, being able to execute my clients visions or assisting them with projects is also rewarding.
