Make no mistake about it—a career in the beauty industry might seem glamorous (and there are certainly moments when it is), but it takes a lot of hard work to become successful. That being said, there is always room for creative individuals with unique and interesting outlooks on beauty. I love seeing all the young talent coming up -Interview with SweetyHigh.com
Ryan Clark gives dapper a new meaning. Clark is the creative director at High Fashion Living in New York City. Ryan didn't start out as a fashionisto. He actually first set out to pursue a career in medicine. But then he found his ardor in fashion and knew he had to switch gears with his life path. It's safe to say the move was a good one. He moved to New York all the way from Texas and developed a social following behind the merits of his keen eye for fashion. He has inspired a diverse group of celebrities, and his social media presence greatly aids his professional success, and he shows off his fashion prowess to a large following. Clark and High Fashion Living is a brand on the rapid rise.View this post on InstagramYou look better when you smile, and I’m all smiles in my @mizzenandmain look!

“I was in med school and I had to take a cadaver-based lab like every other med student. I remember standing there while everybody else is hands-deep inside of this man’s arm and shoulder and really getting into it. I'm just sitting there and I'm taking notes on Tom Ford's latest collection and thinking, ‘This is amazing. Tom Ford is a genius. This is great.’” -Interview with Fohr Insights
Catherine Martinez is at the forefront of pioneering in at least one way. Her niche is both unique and genuinely noble. Martinez shoots beauty tutorials and incorporates a unique element into her content; her videos are done entirely in sign language with closed captions. Catherine's tutorials cater to the 28 million Americans (and millions more around the world) who are considered deaf or hard of hearing. The beauty blogger from New York City is growing her presence on social by cultivating content for a demographic that is sadly under-represented on social media, for which she should be celebrated.View this post on InstagramASL FALL MAKEUP Part 2 : @anastasiabeverlyhills Tutorial Using: @anastasiabeverlyhills liquid lipstick in Bittersweet @anastasiabeverlyhills Sugar Glow kit @anastasiabeverlyhills A23 Large Blending Tapered Brush #anastasiabeverlyhills #Norvina #asl #signlanguage #hearing #makeuptutorial #closedcaptioning **Some information about ASL & Deaf Culture: The deaf community has proven through millions of deaf/hard of hearing individuals that they can be overachieving and successful regardless of their auditory loss. Lastly, I would like to stress the fact that ASL is not a universal sign language used and it’s not the same as English grammar. It consists of sign, fingerspelling and extensive facial gestures and body language to convey communication between other individuals.** * I am Hearing & Learning ASL*
I had recently graduated from New York University’s Communicative Sciences and Disorders program and the major consists of assessing and treating speech, voice, language, auditory and swallowing disorders. Sign language, which happens to be in the program, is something that I fell in love with and was eager to learn. Many of my peers whom were either deaf or hard of hearing always complimented my makeup and were interested in the beauty industry. It just struck me one day when a few peers in my class asked me to translate what a blogger they were watching was saying since the tutorial was auditory and had no other mode of communication. -Interview with PizzaBottle

I’ve learned to follow my instinct both in terms of creative decisions on a shoot and also my career trajectory. More than that, for me it’s about hard work and consistency. Keep on keeping on and the road will unfold before you. -Interview with Men's Fashion Post

The problem is that many women do not know what they want. You just have to play around and experiment with the look. It is very important to adjust the colors to the respective type. In other words, a very pale person should rather avoid a deep, pink rouge - because terracotta and soft tones are more suitable. Extremes are something that should be avoided if possible.

Before I travelled the world, I was known for my minimal style. I basically only wore black, white and grey. Now I wear colors and prints. I think the world has inspired me because the world is huge and colorful. For instance, I will be travelling to India, Thailand, Indonesia, Sri Lanka where these places are so colorful, and with exotic animals with beautiful prints. So for my summer and resort outfits, I like wearing colors and prints and different materials, like linen and cotton with leather for contrast. Travel makes you open your mind. I’m endlessly inspired by travelling. -Interview with HOLR Magazine
June Ambrose is certainly no longer an up-and-comer these days. She's been a staple in the fashion community for decades, as the mastermind stylist and designer behind some of our favorite '90s music videos. She's worked with artists like Mary J. Blige, P. Diddy, and Jay-Z. She has designed clothing for over 200 music videos and multiple world tours, not to mention a litany of other A-list celebrities. But how her career began, was a bit serendipitous. While interning at Uptown MCA Records in the 1990s, someone at the label asked for a stylist, and Ambrose asked: “What’s that?”. After learning what the job entailed, she thought to herself “I can do that.” That was her first ever styling gig, and you could say the rest is history. She recently made an appearance on "Good Morning America" and is seeing her Instagram star rise as well. Her thoughtful posts about fashion and her everyday life endear her to fans, and she is best known on the 'Gram for her infamous selfies sporting large hats.View this post on Instagram12.30.18 📸 @summerhopechamblin
