 Beauty definitely builds confidence and confidence magnifies beauty. Among the products that are inside Amasha Richard’s makeup kit is MAC, Ben Nye, eye pencils, eyelash curlers and lipsticks by Revlon. Not many young women can say that they have established their own business in which they help to make women feel their best but this young entrepreneur has caught the attention of locals and International superstars alike. Amasha’s makeup expertise was recently featured in Rick Ross’s video ‘Diced Pineapples’ featuring Drake & Wale. She has also worked with Josveek Huligar of Party Access Anguilla, Elements of Beauty carnival troupe, Elvis Harrigan a well known photographer from St.Maarten and Omari Banks Anguillian musician and former Leeward Islands cricketer to name a few. ILKA: How did your career begin in the world of beauty? Amasha: Beauty and makeup is a field that I never thought I would get into when I was younger simply because I never wore makeup. However my sister was very into it and I would watch her put on eye-shadow and liner and dress up; I wanted to be like her. I started to experiment with her things and got more interested in learning about different products. One day while searching on the internet I came across a makeup tutorial video on YouTube; I started to watch them daily and eventually decided to try out some looks on myself, at some point I realized that it came easy for me and that is when the addiction to makeup began. ILKA: What exactly is a day in the life of Amasha Richard like? Amasha: There is diversity in each day of my life. Every day is different for me because makeup is not the only thing I focus on. I’m always trying to find ways to improve my life and health; I try to keep myself busy. I have several projects that I have coming up and I’m always brainstorming on things that I can do next to better myself. The world of makeup is always changing in style and I have to keep learning new things every day. ILKA: You’re a busy woman! How would you describe your signature look and what is it about your style that sets you apart from other makeup artists? Amasha: My signature look is a bold (cut crease) eyes and a nude lip; I love making the eyes pop. What sets me apart from other artists is that I love trying new things. I don't like doing the same look all the time so I always try to do something different on clients based on their unique facial features while I believe in letting their inner beauty show through. ILKA: Who are some people and what are some things that have inspired you throughout your career? Amasha: My inspiration comes from people like Goss makeup artist and Lisa Eldridge; I’m a huge fan of their (both artists have tutorials on You Tube). I’m also inspired when I look at the work of other artists and that pushes me to learn more about my art and to perfect my skills. One thing that really inspires me is how I am able to make women feel more confident; the look on their faces when looking in the mirror after I’ve completed their makeup is priceless. ILKA: I know it takes skill, a creative eye and magical products to create those priceless looks. What are some of your favorite products currently in your makeup kit? Amasha: Some of my favorite products in my kit are:
ILKA: Do you see yourself someday creating your own line of makeup? Amasha: Yes I can see myself creating a line of makeup one day. There are so many good brands out there but some are just unaffordable. I would like to create a brand that is affordable and is good quality. ILKA: What are some makeup/facial products that you recommend women to travel with when travelling to a tropical destination like Anguilla? Amasha: Anguilla is warm all year round and it’s very important to be aware of what cosmetics you travel with. Some must haves to keep in your travel kit are:
ILKA: What general tips do you have for women who want to look and feel their best? Amasha: Looking and feeling good starts from the inside. Taking care of your body is essential, include exercise in your daily regimen; set a goal of physical activity at least four times per week. Be sure to cleanse tone and moisturize your skin daily and drink plenty of water. ILKA: We define a “COCO Woman” as a woman who embraces her unique beauty and is not afraid to show the world her true self. Are you a COCO woman? Amasha: I would consider myself to be a COCO woman because I believe that beauty starts from within. There is much emphasis on understanding and accepting true inner beauty which is the first step to looking and feeling beautiful. Approaching makeup as a tool to enhancing your best or favorite features is the way to go.
