Life & Work with Guadalupe De Dios of Central Coast (California)

Today we’d like to introduce you to Guadalupe De Dios.

Hi Guadalupe, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I have been in the beauty industry for as long as I can remember. I started doing my own makeup in 7th grade right before school and would do all of my friends makeup for fun and for school events. I started taking it seriously by 8th grade and would charge for the makeup service. I got so passionate about it that I pursued it through my high school years, even missing events like prom to be the makeup artist for it. I got certified in Ombre Powder Brows right when covid hit in 2020, and decided to pursue my dreams of owning my own business. I created my own cosmetics brand , “Guadalupe De Dios Cosmetics, LLC”, where I have big plans. In 2024 I was pregnant and decided to go back to beauty school to receive my Esthetician License. I was booked and busy all pregnancy up until I had him. I have learned to manage anxiety, life changes, all while being a young mother and a business owner. I don’t regret it a single bit because it’s been a beautiful rollercoaster of a journey from meeting and working with all types of beauty, skin, textures, and everything that comes with this industry. I love it and can’t wait to own the recipe- not only the bakery. I can’t wait to be able to supply and help other woman, artists, and anyone that I am able to impact in any way as I grow my business and continue to grow as a woman and mother.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
I have dealt with anxiety and depression most of my life growing up so it has been a roller coaster dealing with that and also trying to balance a business and showing up for myself. I have juggled showing up when I have had rough mornings trying to get up and feel like myself. I have learned to manage anxiety and take it a day at a time, sometimes a moment at a time.

As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I specialize in Professional Makeup Services, Customized Facials, Korean Facials, & Semi-Permanent Makeup. I am a Pro Mua and Licensed Esthetician. I am proud of all of the work and services that I do, what sets me apart is the way that I invest into my business in professional courses, products, I invest into making my clients and everyone around me feel as radiant as possible. I am proud of showing up everyday through every life changes like my depression stages, my pregnancy, through motherhood, and while working. I show up and I show out and I remind myself of why I do this and why I’m so passionate about my creativity. My creativity benefits others in many ways and that soothes my soul.

What are your plans for the future?
I am planning for alot of big things in the future, both personally and in my business. Personally I have alot I am looking forward to as well as continuing to grow in every way possible and continue learning about myself. As for my business I am looking forward to adding more advanced services, products and inventory for my brand.
