Embracing the evolution of beauty
This spring, Lizantia Mngadi plans to share her story and inspire women in Zululand to embrace the beauty of their evolution at Tea on the Terrace
BUILDING confidence and bringing out people’s personality comes naturally to make-up artist Lizantia Mngadi, guest speaker at this year's Tea on the Terrace fundraiser.
A friend to all her clients, Lizantia says you leave her chair not only looking different, but feeling different, too.
An entrepreneur from a young age, she opened her first business selling breyani for students living in residence at the Nelson Mandela School of Medicine.
She later enrolled in a make-up artistry course, and in 2017 launched her business in this field when she moved to Zululand.
“I started networking and making friends to create a community. And since I was new to the area, I pushed my work through social media and sold my personality," said Lizantia.
“People buy who they know, not what they know. I’m an extrovert and how I marketed myself was so different and so fresh that it made my clients feel liberated to step out of their shell." Lizantia encourages women to feel free in celebrating their femininity and evolution.
“When Covid-19 hit, I went through an evolution and spiritual journey that made me who I am today.
”I believe everyone went through a phase of transformation and I think that journey is beautiful if you allow it.”

An annual fundraiser for Dice (Do I Care Enough?), this year's event is set to take place between 10am and 12.30pm on 17 September at Umfolozi Resorts. “When I was asked to be guest speaker, I insisted I was referred to as the entertainment because I feel we women need the opportunity to feel liberated and celebrated," said Lizantia. “I wanted to have a space where we could just laugh, de-stress and create a community.”
