FEATURED LASH ARTIST: Lariza Wilson

Meet Lariza Wilson @beautifiedbyriz
📍 Ashburn, VA

Lariza has been lashing for 4–5 years and trained in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Like a lot of artists, one of her biggest struggles early on was isolation.
Instead of rushing through it, she spent time practicing every day. Hand making fans, working on separation, improving little by little until things started feeling more natural.

One thing that stood out to me was how much she talked about consistency.

Not trying to be perfect overnight.

Just sitting down and practicing the craft regularly.

Lariza says she inspired herself to enter the beauty industry. She fell in love with the creativity behind lashing and enjoys being able to create different styles that fit each client differently.

What keeps her motivated now is seeing artists grow from home based businesses into something bigger for themselves and their families. She also mentioned how rewarding it feels seeing clients genuinely happy after seeing their lashes.

Her advice for newer lash artists:

“Always practice, do not give up, and don’t compare your work to others. Each person is different, and we all make our own creative work. Take your time and work at your own pace. Don’t let others make you feel rushed.”

Go show her some love 🤍 @beautifiedbyriz
