Ep. 94: Tatiana “Beat Face Honey” Ward Shares Her Journey From Influencer to Celebrity Makeup Artist

Friends in Beauty Podcast

Today on the Friends in Beauty Podcast I welcome Tatiana Ward aka Beat Face Honey, to the Friends in Beauty guest chair.

Tatiana is a celebrity makeup artist and educator. Her very start in the beauty industry was that of educating. Her precise and easy to follow YouTube videos have amassed over 13 Million hits on Youtube worldwide.

Tatiana’s mass appeal, skilled artistry, and straight forward teaching style has transcended her from an online influencer to working with celebrities and educating live. She has been featured in major publications such as Teen Vogue, Elle Magazine, Buzzfeed, Ebony Magazine and many more. Her bubbly personality and extensive knowledge of makeup has been featured on BET, The Steve Harvey Show, CNN, and the FOX Network as an on air contributor.

Having nearly half a million Instagram followers and a growing online presence, Tatiana has become a long standing and respected staple in the makeup community. So much so that her live classes and private sessions keep her traveling the world.

Let me tell you something! I’m still pinching myself that I was able to have this chat with Tatiana. She's been one of my inspirations from the beginning of my career as a Makeup Artist so this was truly a full circle moment + such an amazing + transparent conversation about her journey in the beauty industry.

In this interview Tatiana shares:

-How her journey in the beauty industry began + how makeup is just a small part of who she is

-How she gained a huge following on YouTube + how the platform has changed making it a little harder for creators

-Her experience working with some of the top celebrities in the industry - like Brandy, Nicki Minaj, Keyshia Cole

-How she uses her other skills to generate income

-Her excitement about her new product line

-Balancing motherhood + staying motivated

-Amazing advice from Sam Fine

-And she even shares something she’s never shared before about a particular celebrity that you may find intriguing.

I appreciate Tatiana for sharing her experiences so openly. There are tons of learning lessons that we can all learn from sprinkled throughout our conversation. So, go ahead and jump into it with Tatiana and if you prefer to watch the interview then tune in on YouTube
