Takia
Owner and Lead Make Up Artist
I started Accessmatized in 2013 by accident in the dining room of my home as a way for me to channel my creative energies and to encourage the many women who allowed me the opportunity to work with them. I have always been a make-up lover and am known to shop for make-up no matter what store I enter (it's really bad). What can I say...I LOVE MAKE-UP! Everything about it. From buttery eyeshadow colors to creamy lipliners, you name it and I will acknowledge my love affair with it. My favorite thing to do is eyebrows and I will admit that I am infatuated with them. I love them so much, and will spend hours grooming, filling in, and sculpting brows if you let me.
Though I love the products and I covet eyebrows, I can not live without the GLAMBULOUS Ladies, our FABGLAMAZONS, that I am honored to work with. I truly believe that our clients are absolutely phenomenal; and when we do their make-up coupled with their phenomenal nature they will take over the world!

Make-Up Artist & Hair Stylist
I started my career in healthcare, Obstetrics and Gynecology to be exact. But, after a fellow art enthusiast turned entrepreneur encouraged me to do something with my art I decided to pursue this passion by taking classes at Maryland Institute College of Arts.
As life changed for me, so did my career path, which inspired me to use my passion for art to pursue make-up artistry. I began studying pioneers such as Sam Fine, Francois Nars, Kevyn Aucion, Iman, and Bobbi Brown. I took what I learned in my MICA class and applied it to manipulating the face and hair. I became a licensed cosmetologist and began working with major brands, Estee Lauder, Bobbi Brown, Bare Minerals, and a host of others.
As I have continued to grow, I have conquered many professional goals in the commercial beauty industry including media, bridal, corporate, and education. However, my first and most important goal remains the same; to make every client touch feel BOLD, BEAUTIFUL, & EMPOWERWED!
Teashera
Make-Up Artist
Greetings! My name is Teashera Smith. I am a resident of Baltimore, MD as well as the newest makeup artist of the Accessmatized team. I wasn’t always a strong, motivated, and confidently beautiful, black woman that I am today. I came from a lot of trial and error, insecurity and self-doubt. I started convincing myself that I would fail in this industry. I am a true testimony of what God can do when you start believing in Him.
I got into makeup not just because I wanted to look better, but to channel my energies and skills into something I know I am good at. I love brows, bronzer, and bringing out the BEST features of any woman. My purpose and goal is to make you, the client, feel absolutely beautiful and confident. Not just on the outside, but the inside as well. Like I always say, “When it comes to confidence, you gotta wear it like makeup!”
