Today we’d like to introduce you to Meagan Conner.
Hi Meagan, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I was born in Atlanta and raised in Marietta/Austell. My fascination with makeup started when I was a little girl watching my mom put on her make-up in the bathroom. All I could remember was wanting to be just like her, in more ways than one. I started off as most girls do, with some brown lip liner and clear gloss. Throughout the years, I’ve found myself more drawn to the colorful and eccentric side of makeup. Every time I picked up a brush, I sharpen my craft and enjoy every stroke and flick.
With my makeup artistry, I strive to transform and enhance the physical as well as the spirit, and so Speak Life Artistry was born in 2021! I’ve always had a passion for uplifting others and reinforcing positive outlooks to shape a better mental disposition, and to live in the moment because it is the present. My business does just that, I Speak Life into all of my clients or anyone I encounter. I’m a huge believer of whatever energy you put out into the world, it will be bestowed back unto you. My mom has always poured life into me and I want to share my optimism with the World!
My mother has always been the heart of all I do and this business was no different. She inspired me to follow my dreams and lead with love because love will follow. My father taught me to always have a plan and follow through! Even though it took me a few years to launch my business, I kept my eye on the prize and a passion in my heart. Today, I have my own makeup studio in Powder Springs where I perform all types of makeup services and sell my cosmetic line products.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The road to self-discovery is never an easy one, but always worth the journey. I went through many years of self-doubt, second-guessing and over thinking with my craft in fear of what others may think of me or my artwork. I had to do a lot of soul searching to gain the courage to finally put my artistry out there for others to see. The hardest part is always starting, but after I took the leap of faith, my business has continued to excel and even exceed my expectations.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
My business is not only makeup artistry but also a powerhouse to boost anyone’s self-esteem. Speak Life Artistry started as a reminder to always be positive and kind toward yourself and others. My business motto is “There is power in the tongue and the brush!”. I believe you are the master of your destiny and we create our own realities, starting from the words we speak into our lives. With every client, I do my best to not only enhance the physical, natural beauty but also enhance and encourage the spirit.
I specialize in all-natural and soft glams but I love dramatic glam as well. Speak Life Artistry is also known for our Speak Life Affirmation Lashes. I have 12 assorted styles to fit anyone’s comfort zone!
I am beyond proud of my business because makeup is my passion and I get to pursue my dreams and do what I Love. Over the years, I’ve seen my work make others feel good about themselves to the point that it changes their perspectives and their minds. Positivity is contagious like a smile, and I strive to deliver both with every encounter.
Do you have any memories from childhood that you can share with us?
My favorite childhood memory would be spending summers with my big mama and papa Ford (Grandma/Grandpa). She was a chef at her church and she would always let me run around with all my friends while she prepared meals for her church family. Waiting for the food was sometimes like torture because it smelt so good. The food was made from so much love and you could taste it in every bite.
