From an early age, Laura Geller has had a love affair with beauty. Her passion led her to become a successful make-up artist, working under the bright lights of Broadway and behind-the-scenes with celebrities and socialites. But it was Laura’s devotion to making make-up work for real women that led her to create her own beauty brand and launch it on QVC over 20 years ago. Laura believes that beauty is for everyone and should be uncomplicated, mistake-proof and fun. On this episode, Laura and Celeste discuss how Laura pioneered bringing primer into every woman’s make-up routine, the importance of mentorship while building an empire, and how she translates professional application into techniques that work for real women, every day.
