Watch Venus now on Season 4 of Real Housewife Of Melbourne
It is no coincidence that I have chosen a dual-tone lipstick line to launch my brand into the fashion cosmos and called it Mixed Emotions.
By virtue of Venus Cosmetics, I want to share my simple discovery, that applying a pop of colour to your face can be a powerful catalyst for positive change. Routine makeup application can evoke liberation and empower women to be the most charismatic, fashionable and fearless version of themselves.
What’s one thing you learned through the process of being a beauty entrepreneur?
“I learned and truly believe that we need to encourage each other as women to unleash our potential and soar. I am doing this for my daughters and all our daughters, biologically or not. As women, we still need to break glass ceilings but it begins with breaking our internal ones first. I also believe we have a responsibility to help each other out. We are a big piece of the solution. We cannot allow ourselves to be defined by anything or anyone. I am someone that while considered accomplished and successful, has been plagued most of my life with insecurities, doubts, and fears. I am working through this and as I do, want to help anyone else in this process”
What’s been the most rewarding part of following your dreams?
“The most rewarding thing has been seeing people's reaction when they first experience unboxing Venus cosmetics produce—the reveal, touching it, feeling it, and experiencing the formulas and appreciating the intention for the creation. I would like to humbly think that in some small way I was able to surprise and delight, and sincerely hope to continue to do so.”
When I started down this path, I was passionate about making people feel good. The transformative power of makeup has always amazed me and how it could make people feel—especially women. We know that women, in particular, perform at their best when they feel beautiful. Now I’m not talking about wearing makeup, I am talking about generally feeling beautiful.
“I love every aspect of shaping the discovery and development of Venus Cosmetics … the amazing wonder of product creation, and getting customers excited about beauty.”
