Insider Tips for Breaking Into the Beauty Industry (w/ Jenn Harper, Founder & CEO - Cheekbone Beauty)
With $500 in a basement in St. Catherines, Ontario, Jenn Harper started Cheekbone Beauty. She had zero experience working in the beauty space, making the leap from a career in the food industry’s hospitality and sales sectors. Like all great entrepreneurs, Jenn’s vision eventually rocketed the company to earn multi-million-dollar revenues. But unlike other founders, Jenn’s vision was literal: in January 2015, a dream popped into her head of three little indigenous girls, giggling and covered in lip gloss. Battling alcoholism and intergenerational trauma, she started Cheekbone on the side. But today, Cheekbone Beauty sells every kind of colour cosmetic you can think of in stores like Sephora and JC Penny. This is the story of how Jenn carved out a unique space in the nearly $600 billion beauty industry as a newcomer. You’ll hear how her cultural background served as a guiding light, her greatest advice for entrepreneurs venturing into new industries, and the practical methods she used to quickly scale her company to the next level.
