Tikiya Wadley, also known<br />

as Ms. Puff, born and raised<br />

in Miami, Florida, has always<br />

had a keen eye for beauty, fashion,<br />

and bazaar creativity. As<br />

an adolescent Tikiya began the<br />

artistry of make-up by using<br />

lipsticks as her eye shadow and<br />

different shades of blush on her<br />

face just for fun. Tikiya would<br />

often volunteer to do make-up<br />

for her younger cousins for various<br />

events and would be praised<br />

for her<br />

make-up artistry.<br />

Tikiya grew an extreme passion<br />

for make-up during a life changing<br />

experience that was<br />

developed by her cousin. She<br />

was overwhelmed by emotions<br />

yet very humbled when she realized<br />

that she made a young teen<br />

growing within the industry.<br />

As a young adult, Tikiya began to model and was exposed to castings, video sets, photo<br />

shoots, and the behind the scene process of the industry. Paying close attention to the hair<br />

and makeup techniques of the professional artist, Tikiya knew she could accomplish those<br />

same techniques. Tikiya then began to research and invested in an assortment of brands/<br />

makeup products to stock up her caboodle and became educated of their purpose and appropriate<br />

placement. Tikiya then used her knowledge and supplies, and began to perfect her<br />

craft by applying a variety of techniques on her friends and family to achieve looks that are<br />

worn by every day working class women as well as in magazines, on television, and movies.<br />

Embarking into her professional career in 2010, Tikiya increased her knowledge by working<br />

as a make-up consultant at Sephora and taking freelance classes at local beauty schools. She<br />

partnered with local businesses - Mocha Shic Events and Lights Camera Action Studio and<br />
