We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Mariset Gonzalez a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Mariset, thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with us today. We’re excited to dive into your story and your work, but first let’s start with a broader topic that might be stopping many of our readers from pursuing their dreams – haters, nay-sayers, etc. How have you managed to persist despite haters and nay-sayers that inevitably follow folks who are doing something unique, special or off the beaten path?
It’s always difficult to deal with negative comments, so I try to focus on the positive things and keep doing what I love.
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
The most exciting aspect of being a makeup artist is the endless possibilities for creation; you can transform into anything you desire. I offer various types of makeup, including Halloween, bridal, everyday looks, and glam.
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?
The three qualities that supported me during my journey were patience, a willingness to learn, and having fun. My advice for those who are just starting their journeys is to absorb as much knowledge as possible and strive to do their best. Using constructive criticism as feedback is crucial for improving your work. Last but not least, always remember to enjoy the process.
How can folks who want to work with you connect?
I’m always looking for collaboration opportunities. If you need a makeup artist (MUA) in the Orlando area, feel free to send me a direct message on Instagram; my handle is @marygm89.
I’m also open to working as a content creator, so any brands interested in having me promote their products can contact me via Instagram as well.
