We had the good fortune of connecting with Tatyanna Navarro and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Tatyanna, any advice for those thinking about whether to keep going or to give up?
I think it’s very simple actually! If there’s no passion behind what you’re doing there’s no point of continuing but, if the passion is there, there’s no reason to stop doing what you love

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I’m a make up artist!! I create art using make up with a twist of spooky! What sets me apart from the rest is my ability to do different art style and the way I create my art! It took me a long long time to get where I am now. A lot of trial and error! This road to the make up artist I am today was not easy at all and full of challenges, but I’m so proud of my work today! I’ve learned so many lessons but the one that stuck with me was, everyone moves at their own pace! Never compare yourself to others! Always focus on your goal and what you want to do! I want the world to know that goals are achievable and if you put in the work there’s nothing you can’t do.

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.
I’m not that familiar with the area but downtown Durham has fun spot for food and drinks!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I’d like to shoutout my husband, Adam! Without his passion for my work and dedication to my vision I wouldn’t be as far as I am now.
