I’ve known Rhonda for several years now and I’ve seen her make up business take off in ways unimaginable. Recently, Faces by Rhonda was featured in the February issue of Essence Magazine as part of their StoryBook Wedding feature. I had a chance to ask her a few questions about her business and looking flawless on your wedding day.
1. Tell me more about your business and how you got started?
I’ve been a makeup maven for over 10 years. However, I officially started Faces By Rhonda LLC in January of 2011. I’d been approached by women to do makeup for their special events and thought to myself how exciting and fulfilling it would be.
2. What make up trends do you see on the horizon?
I believe classic trends such as the winged eye, red lip and lush lashes are and will always be trendy. Not to mention my faves!
3. How do you stay calm when working under pressure?
I pray before each appointment. I ask God to reveal himself through my work. I pray for direction, clarity and a happy client.
4. What 3 tips would you give brides for choosing their make up artist for their big day?
Choose an artist who’s work reflect your bridal makeup vision.
Always have a bridal consultation before the wedding.
Choose an artist who will enhance your beauty and not cover it up with a heavy application.
5. Describe your ideal client?
My ideal client would be be First Lady Michelle Obama. A natural beauty both inside and out.
6. What’s next for Faces by Rhonda?
Continued growth. Hoping to expand into other areas of beauty, fashion and maybe design. I have a passion for all things creative and colorful.
