We were lucky to catch up with Alexandria Singleton-Smith recently and have shared our conversation below.
Alexandria, we’re so excited for our community to get to know you and learn from your journey and the wisdom you’ve acquired over time. Let’s kick things off with a discussion on self-confidence and self-esteem. How did you develop yours?
My confidence and self-esteem evolved through a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. I cultivated these qualities by embracing challenges, setting and achieving goals, and learning from both successes and failures. Seeking guidance from mentors and supportive individuals played a significant role in building my confidence, as did practicing self-compassion and acknowledging my strengths. Over time, I developed a deeper understanding of myself, which empowered me to navigate life’s ups and downs with greater resilience and belief in my abilities.
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
As a makeup artist, content creator, and influencer, I have the incredible opportunity to blend artistry with creativity to inspire and empower others. My passion lies in not only enhancing natural beauty but also in expressing individuality through makeup. Whether it’s creating bold looks for photoshoots or sharing everyday makeup tips on social media, I strive to connect with my audience and foster a sense of community. What I find most exciting and special about my work is the ability to transform someone’s confidence through the power of makeup. It’s incredibly rewarding to see someone light up when they feel beautiful and empowered. In terms of what’s new, I’m constantly experimenting with innovative techniques and products to keep my content fresh and engaging. Stay tuned for more tutorials, product reviews, and collaborations as I continue to evolve and grow in this dynamic industry.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Looking back on my journey, three qualities that were most impactful are resilience, adaptability, and self-belief. Resilience allowed me to bounce back from setbacks and keep pushing forward despite challenges. Adaptability enabled me to embrace change and evolve with the ever-changing landscape of my industry. Self-belief was crucial in overcoming doubts and fears, empowering me to pursue my goals with confidence. My advice for those early in their journey is to cultivate resilience by viewing failures as opportunities for growth, to foster adaptability by being open to new experiences and learning from them, and to nurture self-belief by recognizing and celebrating your strengths and achievements, no matter how small. Trust in yourself and your abilities, and remember that every step forward, no matter how small, is progress.
One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?
Absolutely! I’m currently on the lookout for partnerships with like-minded individuals and brands in the realms of makeup, skincare, hair products, fashion, and health and wellness. Whether you’re a content creator, artist, entrepreneur, or company that shares my values and goals, I’m excited to explore opportunities for authentic and mutually beneficial collaborations. If you have any ideas or are interested in partnering up, feel free to reach out via email or my social media channels. Let’s connect and brainstorm ways to make a positive impact together!
