Up Close and Personal with Entrepreneur
Deborah Ramdin
I
am Deborah Ramdin, a self
taught, free lance Makeup
Artist Entrepreneur. I have been
working in the industry well into
three years; kicking off my career
during the crop over season of
2011. I offer a wide range of
makeup services in: bridal, film,
fashion, editorial, special effects, and face painting. I
also conduct classes on behalf of Get Glamorous and I
offer my own personal course called Full Coverage
Make Up.
My greatest challenge as an entrepreneur is staying
competitive in the ever expanding industry. At the
moment there are a lot of persons claiming the title but
are not up to industry standards, who manage to get
jobs that you would think the more seasoned artist
would be getting. But because of pricing differences
and the ease of accessibility to industry secrets
everyone can be a "makeup artist" in Barbados.
Therefore, this decreases the demand for services
which in turn leads to problems with consistency in
income. Hence, like most other artists I have a steady
job otherwise.
