MY SUPER - BRANDS SERIES


My Super–Brands Series

(The Inspiring stories of Six Courageous Beauty Entrepreneurs)


In this series, we’ll be showcasing the inspiring stories of six color cosmetics brands and their pioneers from around the globe; how they began their journeys to fame, riches and success. Read closely and learn a few business tips from these iconic beauty entrepreneurs through whose courage and vision today’s global beauty industry has been birthed.



Success they say is not an event but a process. We here at TheBeautyEntrepreneur totally agree; and you will too when you read these incredible stories and how each one of these *BeautyPreneurs* survived the odds, weathered the storms and built their Beauty-Empires, most times from the ground up with only their intense believe in what they were about and a burning passion to make it no matter what.




You’ll notice two important factors about these pioneers; Yes their stories are different just as their faces are but the Passion and Value they brought to their work was a central theme. They were about PEOPLE, about touching lives and impacting others in positive ways. And yes, they made themselves pretty wealthy and a whole lot of other folks whilst they were at it.

Let their stories inspire you to take even bigger ‘baby-steps’ on your walk to glory. Learn from their mistakes, share in their triumphs and above all, come to realize just as these ones did, that no matter what you too will make it.

Remember to leave your comments after reading. Let us know whose story touched you the most, how that particular pioneer/brand has helped you and your business.

We trust you’ll enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed putting it together for you.

MAKEUP TREND FORECAST 2012- 2013


Blue Aura 
By Kevin James Bennett


“Blue Aura” is the name of the gorgeous fall-winter look by award winning American make-up artist Kevin James Bennett for Kryolan. 

In this upcoming season, ombre and “tonal” make-up are the statement makers and Bennett demonstrates this trend by creating a modified smoky eye of unexpected elegance using blue as the new black. The focal point is a modern, intensively color saturated eye make-up, framed with a flawlessly perfected complexion.

Kevin James Bennett, winner of 2 Emmy® Awards, is famous for his technique of creating radiantly beautiful complexions that frame his make-up art. “Make-up becomes fascinating and quite memorable when there is one featured element”, is his credo. “And smooth, perfected skin is the ideal backdrop.”
