When you’re kind to people along the way, that energy comes back to you when you start.Don’t fear change. You don’t want to look the same in all your photographs, you want to have a wild time.We need to return to just the empathetic, human way of shopping.Use the money that you accumulate to pay it forward somewhere… it’s important to do that quietly and often.

Something to think about.I struggled for years to find the perfect curly hair product and I finally created it, an all-in-one that hydrates, defines, and controls frizz. (Bleema, Rebel Queen)Mascara is a really complex product, you need a lot of technicity to make the magic and make the product work. (Roberta Cerroni, Pibi Plast)AI is here to stay, and I use ChatGPT as my daily assistant all the time to help me think through things and shorten cycle times.Would I attend Makeup In New York again?
