Summary
Today on the show, we have Makeup Artist extraordinaire Tiyana Robinson. Tiyana is a Washington DC-based Makeup Artist, Brand Ambassador, and International Beauty Educator. I first came across Tiyana on...you know it, Instagram. I was looking for someone to do my makeup for my Side Hustle Pro photoshoot and after viewing her Instagram portfolio, I immediately reached out and booked an appointment.
On the day of my shoot, I went to her studio to get my makeup done and of course we got to chatting about entrepreneurship and side hustle, and I was just so captivated by her story I knew I had to have her in the guest chair.
On this episode, Tiyana breaks down:
- How she transitioned from working for a hair care line to being a full time makeup artist
- Why making an investment in a Coach and Mentor transformed her business
- How she sets herself apart and stands out in an oversaturated market
- The different revenue streams in her business (she’s not just a makeup artists)
- Her top tips for side hustlers who are just getting started
