On this International Women’s Day, we shine a spotlight on an inspiring woman in the beauty industry—Carolina Gonzalez. Her journey as a makeup artist (MUA) is a testament to passion, dedication, and the power of unwavering focus. We had the privilege of speaking with Carolina, where she shared her insights, wisdom, and the mindset that has guided her success.
What’s one piece of advice you live by?
"Live in a state of gratitude, and always treat others the way you’d want to be treated.
What would you say to your younger self? Would you change anything about your journey? "
"I wouldn’t change a thing. I’ve always kept my blinders on, focused solely on the task at hand. My work speaks for itself, and the clients I’ve built relationships with are a testament to that. The respect we share goes beyond business; it’s built on mutual trust. I treat them like family, and they know it."
What’s your advice for aspiring women MUAs?
"My advice is simple: stay focused, stay persistent, and don’t let anyone’s noise drown out your vision. Own your journey, embrace the fun, and fall in love with your craft. Each time you step up to the plate, bring your absolute best because you are only as good as your last gig."
Which Velour lash makes you feel the most empowered, and why?
"Oh, hands down, it’s the Velour x Cgonzalez Beauty clusters! Lashes are such a game-changer — they instantly elevate your confidence. Eyes are the windows to the soul, and lashes? They’re the frame that draws everyone in. These lashes don’t just add volume; they snatch your face in the best way possible."
