HITTING one million followers on Tik Tok and being able to work with world-renowned companies and celebrities are just some of the high points in Beauty Influencer Tenisha Billington’s career.

The 26-year-old Guyanese, who is also a cosplay model creating content for brands to advertise their products and clothing, hails from Georgetown and has been making waves over the past five years.

Tenisha couldn’t be happier at being able to work with TikTok, Warner Bros, The Discovery Channel, Universal Music group and Instagram. She is especially proud of the fact that she was able to do all this within this year. “It has been amazing!” she tells the Buzz.
“It feels like all my hard work has finally started to pay off! I’m still overwhelmed and a bit in disbelief that this is actually my life right now but beyond grateful for everyone who took the time to see the potential in me,” she expressed.

Tenisha is looking forward to working with more brands and hopefully, even having her own in the future.
“It feels good to show people back home that we can do anything. Just stay true to your work and don’t stop trying to better your craft. You can always learn more! Stay hungry, be kind and have fun,” the special effect make-up artist, who was recently featured on Buzzfeed for her transformative makeup skills, noted.
Tenisha’s talents have also caught the attention of celebrities like Lupita Nyong’o and Tyra Banks, as well as big-name brands like Cover Girl and Fenty Beauty- all of whom have featured her work on their own social media pages.

As a model, Tenisha is known for having won the ‘Miss Tourism Guyana’ in both 2017 and 2018.
She first started sharing a blend of modelling and travel photos through her Instagram in January of 2017, which started going viral after sharing more cosplay driven content through her TikTok beginning in January of 2019.

She is also known for her food prep tutorials and ready-made meals which she shares photos of through her Instagram.
While representing as Miss Tourism International Guyana in 2017, Tenisha had bested 12 other contestants to collect the crown, donning a stunning Derek Moore turtleneck evening gown.

Aside from taking the overall title, she also walked away with the prizes for best “Evening Gown”, “Media Presentation”, “Video Interview”, “Fun fashion (costume)”, “Swimwear”, “Pageant Day Interview” and a trophy for the Mayor’s choice “Mermaid Award (Coney Island).”
The pageant had also seen the contestants being judged over two months on video interviews and a charity cause and also encompassed evening gown, swimwear, model of the year, national costume and Coney Island costume segments.
