Beauty – San Francisco
My name is Nya. I’m a 19 year old makeup artist from Oakland, Ca. I’ve been doing makeup on myself and others since I was 13 years old. I began studying makeup during my 6th-9th grade years in school because I was homeschooled and had been previously bullied for my appearance. Since then I’ve been doing makeup nonstop , growing my clientele and perfecting my craft. A lot of my high school clients still come to me now. I work in a Black owned nail Salon called Ms Glitter Nail Lounge in Oakland, Ca. In the near future, I want to do makeup for fashion shows, award shows, movies & much more. I consider this to be my complete passion because it gives me a sense of purpose knowing that people come to me to feel beautiful.
