We had the good fortune of connecting with Demeatrice Beasley and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Demeatrice, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I honestly became a Freelance Makeup Artist by the Grace of God… literally. I started doing my own makeup and that turned into family and friends wanting their makeup done and then Beau’D by D. Beasley was born. I then went into business mode and made sure I conducted my business as such. I knew no one would take my business serious if I didn’t conduct my business as a business. I honestly at first was just doing makeup but I soon realized it was a business that was thriving and a profession I knew I could succeed in.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I believe my work stands apart from others because I am obsessed with giving my clients a better version of themselves. Not saying they are not good enough, however I love enhancing their natural beauty. I study makeup everyday. Although I work a traditional 9-5 I honestly can say I look at makeup looks, tutorials, & makeup tips everyday to make me a better makeup artist. I’m obsessed with becoming better year after year. In order for my business to constantly succeed, furthering my education in the field is very important. No, it is not easy to have a thriving makeup business. I believe when you take your craft seriously others will too! Remain humble and know who your clientele is. Every client is not my client but I strive to be the best makeup artist for my clients I can be. I want the world to know this plan, this path was not mine it’s was God’s. I’m just here for the ride. He has shown me things were possible when I would have never thought they were. Years ago I would have never thought I would be a makeup artist now and love it!!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
We could start the week exploring Pinnacle Mountain for a bit of exercise. We could hang out downtown in the Rivermarket for drinks and food. They have some great spots down there. We could even catch Trois Happy Hour on a Thursday that’s definitely a vibe!!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would love to Shoutout my Mother Lisa Benson! Everything I am comes from her. My drive and my hustle all come from her. I watched my mom raise me and my brothers as a single parent and her sacrifices for us inspires me to handle my business at all times even while raising my son. She taught me to remain humble and Thank God because honestly, he is the reason for it all!
