Meet Grace Lordson Desmond | Makeup Artist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Grace Lordson Desmond and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Grace, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
Independence and financial freedom. Growing up, I was financially free. My family where entrepreneurs and never worked for anyone. They were independent and never had to clock in and out against their wishes. They had that family bond with all of their kids.. I knew starting a business, will truly make me happy.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Hello there! My name is Grace Lordson Desmond, I am the CEO and owner of Graceworldbeautyllc
Instagram: graceworld_beautyllc
I am a professional makeup artist based in Dallas!
I bring to you the most luxurious makeup ranging from editorial,prom,bridal and weddings etc.

What sets me apart is that my job is my passion. I put my heart and soul into it. I listen to my clients needs and do want suits them the most. I am so passionate about my job and gives in my 100% into my services.

What am most proud about is always the end product and the smile on the faces of my clients also when my client’s return to book me again!

This is my story!
Growing up , I was a tomboy. I loved male clothing because they’re very very comfortable til this day they look (laughs) . Also I grew up in a strict Christian home that sees makeup as a bad thing. I can’t even wear a gloss because my dad will whoop you! Fast forward to college, I have always wondered what makeup looks like and would look on me whenever I see people wearing them. I would also judge them for wearing it because we see them as hookers.
My first makeup ever was on my wedding 2015. It’s was very minimal but I got curious to how it was achieved and what was used.
Moved to Texas from Nigeria, my husband’s auntie sepls Mary Kay products.. I started practicing on myself till 2016. I started practicing on my aunties and friends and I grew that passion from there! There were failures but that never stopped me!! I kept practicing and practicing and practicing til I got to this level I am now.

I learnt never to give up on your passion. Improve on it, and earn with it. Don’t envy your colleagues whenever things are going well for them.You can be jealous but pray that God should open doors for you too. Don’t be to shy to ask for help .. Keep pushing and practicing till you make it.

I want the world to know is that Graceworldbeautyllc is a household name. The story behind this name is very special but the brand is giving it’s all to my potential clients. We’re a growing brand and won’t stop growing. Thank you.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Fun places I have been to is the Dallas aquarium and zoo .

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My partner and my mom. These two have been my backbone. My partner supported me with everything he has. Money, gifts , supports, words of encouragement etc.
My mom, she’s just that woman that taught me not to quit! Everyday, she makes prays on my head for success and I am forever grateful!
