Makeup Artists Nydia Figueroa Adjusts Services to Virtual Platforms

By: Caitlyn Garrity / April 7, 2021

At the beginning of the pandemic, a lot of adjustments were made. Trips were canceled, birthday parties were not allowed and most annoying of all, weddings had to be pushed off. Weddings come with huge expenses, sometimes with the consequence of not getting your money back after a late cancellation.

Due to the nature of the circumstance, a lot of wedding venues and caterers were kind about canceling weddings. However, this pandemic has left makeup artists, with their job literally being applying makeup to someone’s face sans a mask, without work.

Makeup artist, Nydia Figueroa, was one of these talented individuals that were left with nowhere to go. So she did what a lot of other professionals had to do, go virtual.

Who is Nydia Figueroa?

With over 12 years of experience, Figueroa has been a makeup artist for a variety of celebrities. Her work has been featured in huge events such as NYFW, The Grammys, The Miss Universe organization, Harper’s Bazaar, and W Magazine, to name a few. She is the beauty director for Fashion GXD Magazine, an international magazine based in NYC.

Amid the pandemic, a lot of Figueroa’s bridal clients were stuck without a makeup artist for their wedding. Sounds like a bride’s worst nightmare come true. With her clients in mind and her love for the industry, Figueroa turned to virtually teaching her clients techniques and looks to do on their own so they can look just as glam on their wedding day as they would have with regular artists.

The pandemic has taught us a lot of things. But for the beauty industry, the pandemic showed we can become our own artists and with some practice, we all can achieve beautiful, expert makeup looks.
