In the vibrant metro Atlanta area, one name stands out in makeup and hair services—Teresas Richards. Owner and founder of Artistry by Teresas LLC, Teresas is a professional makeup artist who has been transforming her clients’ appearances and boosting their confidence since 2009. With her artistry, she ensures that each person who sits in her chair leaves feeling not just beautiful but empowered.
The Essence of Artistry by Teresas
At Artistry by Teresas LLC, the focus is clear—enhancing natural beauty. Teresas’s approach to makeup is about creating a more radiant, confident version of each client. “I feel like most women are hard on themselves,” Teresas shares, “but they just want to look like themselves, only enhanced. I help them see their beauty from a different perspective.”
Teresas offers makeup and hair services for various occasions, including bridal makeup, editorial looks, and TV appearances. She also has her cosmetic line, adding a personal touch to the products she uses on her clients.
Serving the Metro Atlanta Area and Beyond
Based in Atlanta, Teresas doesn’t limit her services to the city itself. She covers areas within 25 miles outside of Atlanta, extending her reach to places like Charlottesville, Douglasville, and Lawrenceville. Her commitment to serving her clients, wherever they may be, is just one aspect of her personalized approach.
A Unique Connection with Clients
One of the things that sets Teresas apart from her competition is her ability to connect with clients on a personal level. “I think my clients appreciate that I am approachable and available whenever they need me,” she says. Her dedication to providing service and education on makeup techniques has earned her a loyal following. Whether her clients want a more natural look or a dramatic transformation, Teresas’s skillset makes her the go-to artist for any occasion.
And for those who think makeup isn’t for them? Teresas has a solution. “We call it ‘husband-proof’ makeup,” she laughs, referring to her ability to create looks that even makeup skeptics can appreciate.
A Journey of Resilience and Passion
Teresas’s journey to becoming a professional makeup artist was challenging. After moving to Atlanta in 2007 from Northern Virginia, she faced personal trials, including a divorce, which led her to pursue makeup as a career. “I needed something flexible that would allow me to be there for my daughter while providing financial stability,” she recalls. With a background in drawing, Teresas found her skills translated naturally into makeup artistry.
Over the years, her hard work and talent have earned her opportunities in TV and film, where she has enjoyed working with well-known figures. “There was this one time I had the chance to do makeup for someone I admired on TV,” she shares. “It was a surreal moment, but it also made me realize just how far I had come in my career.”
A Growing Business with a Bright Future
Since launching her cosmetic line in 2020, Teresas’s business has continued to grow, even in the face of challenges. “It’s been a lot of hard work,” she admits, “but the business is moving in the right direction.” With her makeup services gaining recognition across the region and her cosmetic line expanding, the future looks bright for Artistry by Teresas LLC.
Teresas’s passion for her craft and her dedication to her clients make her a standout in the beauty industry. Whether she’s working with a bride on her wedding day or enhancing the look of a model on set, Teresas brings the same level of professionalism and personal attention to every project.
More Than Just a Makeup Artist
Teresas enjoys various hobbies outside of work, including playing tennis and drawing. A self-proclaimed creative and competitive spirit, she brings this energy into everything she does in her personal life and business.
For Teresas Richards, makeup isn’t just about appearances—it’s about helping people feel good about themselves. Her artistry is a powerful tool for building confidence, and her story serves as an inspiring example of how passion and dedication can turn a talent into a thriving business.
