You don’t build a tanning empire and expand even further from there without having the very best team by your side.
There’s no better example of this than Marissa Carter and her right-hand woman Claudia. Ladies, if you want to get shit done, you don’t need to be a genius — just make sure you surround yourself with positive, pleasant, determined and hard-working people.
Carter Beauty Cosmetics launched in August and ever since, makeup fanatics have been raving about the colours, the textures, the ease of application and yes – that vibrant Word of Mouth Lipstick (€6.95) available in 20 shades we adore! The 103-product range is a Peta-approved member of Beauty Without Bunnies too. (Hurrah!)
With Marissa continuing to impress us with her every move, we followed her as part of our all-new six-part docu-series. This week we have episode two — Expansion: Beyond the Tanning World — and you can watch it on our Her Facebook, IGTV and YouTube platforms.
It’s pretty extraordinary to see a business flourish and so we want to know what makes an idea turn into a mega business. Marissa says;
"I always thought that eventually I would be doing makeup.
"I knew that Carter Beauty was not going to go into Brown Thomas because that’s not where I see my customers buying their makeup.
"I can’t tell you the other brands that my manufacturer makes for, but I can tell you that the manufacturer we have for carter beauty is making makeup for many, many, MANY international makeup brands that are priced way... I mean, WAY higher.
Although the team behind Carter Beauty Cosmetics is small right now, it goes to show how a little, organised and willing team is all it takes. Speaking about Claudia, Marissa says;
"She said ‘Look, I don’t have any of the experience you’re looking for,’ but I knew that as a right-hand woman she wouldn’t necessarily need that experience, I would be able to provide all of the answers that she needed but I just needed somebody who had a really good eye, was creative and was just really, really, like determined to get shit done."

I feel like Nivea has quietly been having a bit of a moment lately. Not in a shouty, rebrand-everything way, but in that “wait, why is this actually really good?” kind of a way. They’re launching products with genuinely interesting science behind them, but at prices that don’t make you want to cry at the […]
Margot Robbie’s Met Gala beauty look was simply perfect The style at this year’s Met Gala isn’t something we can wear to the office, but we can seek inspiration from some of the incredible beauty looks that appeared on the red carpet on Monday night.
