In this episode of Beyond the Makeup, I sit down with Sofi the creator of Trendmood to talk about the story behind the platform that changed the beauty industry.

We talk about what life really looks like behind Trendmood, from growing up in different parts of the world to building one of the most trusted voices in beauty. Sofi shares how it all started, the pressure of being first, how she decides what to post, and what it takes to balance motherhood, business, and a platform that never turns off.

This episode goes beyond the launches and into the person behind it all.

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.

Thank you for going Beyond the Makeup with us. 🎙️

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.

Thank you for going Beyond the Makeup with me.

In Episode 2 of Beyond the Makeup, I open up about identity, insecurities, and the ways they shape how we see ourselves.I share the moments that made me question who I was, the insecurities I carried for years, and why confidence isn’t about perfection, it’s about self-awareness and the words we speak to ourselves daily.This episode is a reminder that makeup is a form of expression, not something meant to cover who you are. Your identity is built through experience, growth, and learning to show up as yourself.Speak to yourself with kindness.✨ New episodes every Thursday🎧 Listen on Spotify & Apple PodcastsFollow Beyond the Makeup Podcast:https://www.instagram.com/beyondthemakeuppodcasthttps://www.tiktok.com/@beyondthemakeuppodcastFollow Christen:https://www.instagram.com/christendominiquehttps://www.tiktok.com/@christendominique
