Tell us about yourself

I have been in the beauty industry for over 30 years. I started when I was just a little girl. Makeup and skincare never feel like work to me, it’s just a part of who I am.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

My biggest accomplishment is taking the leap to actually become a business owner. For so long, I did makeup as a hobby and then on the side. Never did I imagine makeup and skincare would be my full-time career.

What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?

The uncertainty, for sure. It’s scary not knowing what’s next. Owning a business definitely requires a tremendous amount of faith.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

Be strong, be confident (remember you can do it!), and NEVER give up.

Where can people find you and your business?
