  • From Nursing School to Top Beauty & Lifestyle Creator | Heart Defensor
    Mar 12 2026

    In this episode of Beyond the Makeup, I sit down with my first guest and close friend Heart Defensor to talk about her journey as a social media influencer.


    Growing up as a tomboy, Heart never imagined she’d end up in the beauty space. What started as casually watching YouTube after long days of nursing school and work became an outlet that eventually inspired her to start sharing and become one of the most influential beauty and lifestyle creators.


    Today, she’s built a trusted community by always putting her family and followers first.

    In this episode of Beyond the Makeup, I’m sharing the real story behind building my brand, Dominique Cosmetics.


    From my first failed business idea to investor lessons, rebranding, product failures, anxiety around events, and learning how to trust myself through uncertainty, this is the part of entrepreneurship people don’t usually talk about.


    If you’re building something, dreaming of starting, or figuring it out as you go, this episode is for you.


    You don’t need everything figured out to start.

    You just need to begin.
