We were lucky to catch up with Tania Williams recently and have shared our conversation below.
Tania, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today We’d love to hear about when you first realized that you wanted to pursue a creative path professionally.
I knew being a makeup artist was something I wanted to pursue professionally when it was something I couldn’t do. I started in 2020, I liked it and would do faces. I kind of declined and stop pursuing it as much. In 2021, I had a tumor where I was hospitalized and all I could think about when I got out was how I was going to be the best makeup artist I can be. Now when I get discouraged, I think about not being able to do it and how I felt not making people feel beautiful.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
My name is Tania. My business name is Princess and the Blush. I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. I am a Dallas Makeup Artist and Woman of God. I am currently completing classes at Boss Beauty Makeup Academy. I am a student at University of North Texas at Dallas, studying General Business. I got into the makeup industry in 2020, after my freshman year of college. I did a face and became in love with the reactions I would receive from doing makeup. I provide makeup services to clients, and a safe space for my clients to come and relax while they are getting their makeup done. I set myself apart by being an outlet to clients, enchanting their beauty, and being of God. I am most proud of the progress that is taken place on my business journey. I am currently working on launching a beauty brand.
For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
The most rewarding part of being a makeup artist is the people you encounter. The memories that you were apart of in someone’s life. When someone is getting their makeup done it can be for a special event and that’s so rewarding to me because I can be involved in that special event by making them feel beautiful.
Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
I think every year since I’ve started doing makeup I had to learn to be resilience. With makeup there are different seasons, so each season can be slow or a really good season. When there is a slow season and it’s a time where clients aren’t coming it can be discouraging. However, that’s a time for you to work on your craft and better your skills.
