• First encounter with beauty
As a kid, she used to always watch her parents get dressed. While her mother always looked astonishing, the lesson she taught her was a women’s look is never complete without a beautiful makeup.
Tymia may have been destined to do makeup. When she was 4 years of age, her parents were awoken in the middle of the night to the sounds of a home invasion. As her parents followed the light coming from the bathroom, they quickly swung the door open only to realize it was Tymia. They discovered her sitting on the bathroom counter completely covered in makeup. Fast forward to the age of 18, while studying art in college, she took a part time job as a makeup artist, just for the extra cash. It became her passion. She applied the teachings from the classroom to her new found artistic ability. This new knowledge allowed her to share and inspire other aspiring artists.
• What and who do you admire the most and why
As her list of her admirable artists (like Maya Feelon Asante, Charlotte Tilbury, Awol Erizku, Pat McGrath…) is too long to mention.
• What inspire you
Tymia says:
“My biggest inspiration is the up-coming/ aspiring artist. ‘I ALWAYS leave those artists learning something new and having a greater appreciation for my craft’”!
• Philosophy on beauty,
It’s BEAUTY that captures your attention; personality which captures your HEART.
• Best beauty advice,
1 cup of confidence + (&) 2 cups of smiles= (Equals) Endless Beauty!
