I have so much respect for this woman right here. She is the prototype for many, but not many can touch a flame to her brilliance. And the fact that she’s rocking @ashuntasheriffbeauty—placed on her by my amazingly gifted sister @latisharankin—is blowing my mind. LEGENDS are wearing my Vegan Matte Cremes. The joy I feel right now, I can’t even explain. I may not have won “Best in Beauty” awards yet, but the proof is in the pudding—and this is no shade, just transparency from me as a founder. When you create a product, especially as a makeup artist, you think everyone will love it instantly. But that’s not always the case. So don’t chase accolades—look to community. See the proof in your Shopify sales. Look at the people showing up at your pop-ups. Measure your success not by others’ standards, but by your own goals. I said I would create a legacy brand. That means I’ve got time—as long as God allows me life—to win awards. In the meantime, countless LEGENDS are rocking our brand on their own accord. Some placed by amazing artists who love my products, some by me personally. So when you feel like giving up, when you think no one sees your work—please let me be living proof: you will be seen. God will open doors man thinks he can close, but no man can take what God has set aside for you. I’m building my own lane. And the best part? I’m beyond happy for everyone else winning too. That’s the thing—you can do both! Let me stop preaching and just revel in the fact that Ms. Hill is rocking VEGAN MATTE CREMES! It’s a lip combo, so you’ll have to ask the maestro on the brush, my lil sis @latisharankin, for the deets. Never give up on your dreams. IT’S UP!
