Daily Inspiration: Meet Erica McCrary

Today we’d like to introduce you to Erica McCrary.

Hi Erica, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
As a young girl, I watched my mom do hair and makeup for magazines, photoshoots, even America’s Next Top Model.

I always enjoyed being her assistant never imagined being a makeup artist but it came to me so naturally and the more I tried to convince myself that this wasn’t my purpose I realized how wrong I was. So eventually, I gave in and accepted my calling. Today, I’m a professional makeup artist specializing in wedding artistry and soft glam makeup. I am also a certified semi-permanent makeup artist.

I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle-free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
It has not been an easy journey.

Managing a full-time job in auto finance while building a brand it wasn’t easy finding that life-work balance but when I did, things began to move smoothly and with ease. Business was great I was building new and larger clientele and then the pandemic happens. I felt discouraged I was on such a high-reaching goal moving at a fast pace and it all just slowed down instantly.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
As a makeup artist, my goal is always to enhance natural beauty.

I’m known for my flawless nude glam. A soft bronzed warm face with sultry eyes using matte neutral tone eyeshadows. I’m always proud to be a part of someone’s special day knowing that my talent gave them a boost of confidence, to look as special as they may feel. To be a part of what will be a memory for most.

What sets me apart from others is a willingness to go above and beyond for my clients building a relationship with them so that each milestone worth celebrating is celebrated with a flawless glam from elite beauty not limiting myself to just make up many of my clients ask for my input on fashion, help styling them.

So, before we go, how can our readers or others connect or collaborate with you? How can they support you?
I love collaboration I’m always looking for outgoing personalities, models that aren’t camera shy willing  to try new looks new products, and new techniques. Support for me is many things, encouragement, being a model for my brand, and of course scheduling services with me.
