Hi Kimberly, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start, maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
Hi everyone! I’m Kimberly Yasmine, beauty and art influencer dedicated to women of all tones and textures. I offer curated concierge services and creative art direction to trendsetters, business owners, and individuals who want to discover a new & fresh image. My journey in the makeup industry began while working with many well-known brands such as Lancôme, Dior, MAC, and Dillard’s equivalent of Sephora, Edge Beauty.
In 2012, I embarked on my journey, experimenting with numerous brands and deepening my knowledge as a new artist. The cosmetic world was filled with trendy, multi-colored makeup techniques, and like many of you, I tried my hand at them. However, I quickly realized that this expression of makeup wasn’t the path I wanted to pursue. In 2014, I enrolled in Empire School of Cosmetology to further my education.
From 2016 to the present day, I never anticipated becoming one of the top makeup artists in the Memphis metro area while maintaining one of the top three beauty platforms. Additional training from celebrity makeup artists and industry professionals assisted in refining my artistry making it high-performance and highly sought after. In 2020, I made the decision to expand my education in Esthetics.
In 2021, I had the honor of being inducted into the 5th annual class of leading professionals by the Urban Elite 40 under 40, founded by Cynthia Daniels and sponsored by First Horizon. This year, 2023, I have been nominated for “Best Place for Makeup Artistry” by Memphis Flyer.
While I’m well-known for specializing in bridal makeup, I’ve had the privilege of working with industry moguls and nationally accredited platforms, including Missy Elliott, Grant Hill, Reverend James Lawson, Rachel Roy, Michael O’Roric, Tamika Mallory, June Ambrose, B52’s, SEC schools, NBA TV, Black Radiance, and many more. These experiences have opened doors to opportunities in film and production, podcasts, magazine covers, speaking engagements, and international recognition. I eagerly look forward to providing my services tailored to your unique tone and texture!
Business is synonymous with challenges. When I first started, I had little to no knowledge of CRM’s, SEO’s, SOP’s, or the myriad of acronyms that are instrumental in facilitating daily operations. Through years of experience, I realized that implementing efficient systems and assembling the right team are of paramount importance to any successful business. The goal is to free up more time, not only to enhance the customer experience but also for your own wellbeing.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I have an unwavering passion for the arts and I’m looking forward to combining these elements into immersive art experiences while staying true to my passion as a makeup artist, adding beauty to every chapter of my journey!
How do you think about happiness?
Embracing happiness requires one to be bold and present. I find my joy in shared moments with loved ones, living authentically, and immersing myself in the beauty of nature and vibrant experiences. Laughter, music, cinema, and the occasional glass of wine with friends create the perfect recipe for happiness.
