You can look up make-up and see how clean it is. “Natural” is not necessarily clean. https://www.ewg.org/skindeep/
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I have sensitive skin and discovering the Mary Kay Timewise skin care line that didn’t irritate my skin, makeup that didn’t make me want to cry. I wore makeup as a teacher to look professional, but all the time I wanted to get it off my face and did so as soon as I got home. I was a single mom and not earning a lot of money and I initially signed up for the discount, I wasn’t thinking about selling it.
- A simple lipstick can brighten up your face, light up your eyes when you look in the mirror or at other people, it gets those endorphins going when they compliment you. That’s all free and it makes you feel good, and who doesn’t want to feel good?
- We’re a relationship business. That means one-on-one across the kitchen table with your customer. We couldn’t do that during Covid. One of the funny things I would do – because people still needed their stuff – was I would meet them at their house in my Volvo Station Wagon, we’d have our masks on and we’d do a deal. I’d also do porch drops where I’d add extra candy and little love notes.
- A lot of cosmetics companies have to shut down during Covid because they were considered non-essential. Mary Kay shut dedicated a third of its production plant in Dallas to produce hand sanitiser and anti-bacterial soap that was donated to hospitals and care centres all around the US, so we were allowed to stay open, there was never a time I couldn’t order directly for my customers.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Lipstick is a little thing, but even when times are tight, there are certain products that tend not to go down in sales. People look for ways to make themselves feel better.’
‘I want to help you really like what you see when you look in the mirror.’
‘With Zoom we could get together with people all across the countries and have parties. That tota;;y warmed my heart.’
‘You could be 13 or 130 and you’ll find products that you’ll love.’
