Questions covered in this episode

#1  

I’m a Tuesdays Together leader here and we start every meeting with sharing our elevator pitch.

What is your elevator pitch? [04:01]

#2  

I’m not a huge watcher of IG Stories but from both the perspective of a business owner AND an IG consumer — your IG story game is strong. And we will get more into that later in the show — but I’ve been dying to know 

How do you get little rainbows everywhere in your living room? [06:46]

If you already follow Kim on Instagram, you know what I mean. If not, you gotta check her stories regularly to see what I mean. 

#3 

Now, as a “just” makeup artist, I never feel fully comfortable doing certain things or offering certain bits of skincare advice because I’m not an esthetician.

What are the pros of being an esthetician and a makeup artist at the same time, and how did you marry the two? [08:58]

#4

I remember when gushing to you about your IG game, probably a year or two ago now, you mentioned that you had invested in a coach. This comes at a huge cost for so many — and it’s scary to know “if” the coaching is going to work.

 How has coaching helped you in your personal and business life, and how did you get past the initial “ouch” factor? [14:04]

#5

Let’s talk about retail. I get asked all the time what I sell or am selling or why I’m not selling anything. Now, retail isn’t for everyone — but

when did you decide that retailing was the right way to go, and how has that changed your business? [18:42]

#6

Instagram Stories; your stories are so incredibly consistent, on-brand, authentic. 

How have your Instagram stories helped your brand grow, and how have they helped you build relationships? [23:51]

I’m not a huge watcher of IG Stories but from both the perspective of a business owner AND an IG consumer — your IG story game is strong.

#7 What is your favorite makeup or skincare hack? [32:02]

 (The answer is double cleansing — and she describes exactly how she double cleanses with ease in the episode!)

Beauty is about perception, not about make-up. I think the beginning of all beauty is knowing and liking oneself. You can't put on make-up, or dress yourself, or do you hair with any sort of fun or joy if you're doing it from a position of correction.
