We recently had the chance to connect with Alyssa Caggiano and have shared our conversation below.
Good morning Alyssa, we’re so happy to have you here with us and we’d love to explore your story and how you think about life and legacy and so much more. So let’s start with a question we often ask: What makes you lose track of time—and find yourself again?
One of my passions that I’ve had since a child is writing. It’s always been a way for me to express my thoughts, experiences, or dreams regarding my life. In fact, I bought a type writer on a whim last summer at a flea market. I’ve used it to challenge myself to one page prompts about lessons I’ve learned throughout my 28 years of life, & I still value it as one of the greatest possessions I own! Whether I feel inspired or lost, I know writing will give the clarity & guidance I need to fulfill my dreams & aspirations..
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I am Alyssa Caggiano, & I founded CAGGS to educate & inspire those passionate in the world of makeup. CAGGS is an online organization that aspires to build a worldwide community for any & everyone who wants to learn, share, & connect with makeup. What I love about CAGGS is that I can combine my passion for makeup with my passion for writing through our blog & E-book. I actually started the CAGGS Academy this year to provide resources to aid beginner to professional makeup artists progress in their skills. Our E-book ‘Makeup 101: For Beginners’ details the basic concepts of makeup & how to achieve a flawless skin finish for oneself or for clients. I am currently working behind-the-scenes on a few projects to be featured on our site under CAGGS Academy by the end of the year so stay tuned!
Okay, so here’s a deep one: What relationship most shaped how you see yourself?
My twin brother because he’s always been my best friend. We may be opposites, but we represent a balance, or yin-yang, when it comes to how we approach anything. Since we were little, I think we’ve been able to shape how we both see ourselves.
What fear has held you back the most in your life?
I’ve dealt with anxiety all my life, so there’s never been any particular fear that’s held me back. Anxiety can fuel fears about anything & everything, but I do believe it’s helped me shape who I am today.
So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. What would your closest friends say really matters to you?
Anyone close to me knows that I value honesty above all else. I was raised that honesty is the best policy, so I expect that from anyone in my inner circle. The truth, which may hurt, is better than any lie that can be told.
Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
I hope people speak on my ability to help others. I’ve always felt that my purpose in life is to help others, so I know I succeeded in life if that’s my legacy.
