Meghan Markle He revealed that he could not hear about beauty ads because of his sun freckles.
“That would have been when I was an actor, an audition for ads,” Duchess Sussex, 43, told a guest and a friend Jamie Kern Pump On Tuesday, April 29, an episode of “Female Founder Confessions” Lemonada Media podcast. “And I remember my commercial agent couldn’t introduce me about beauty or skin care ads because I have freckles.”
Meghan remembered being turned away because her sun freckles were not considered a “sign of beauty.”
“You couldn’t see yourself reflected there,” he said of the old ways of the beauty industry for advertising their products.
The Royal Kern Lima-which is the founder of Cosmetics Tg-for, approved the jump to use real-life women of all ages, shape, size and skin tone as its models.
“That was such a new thought then. When you were bringing that to the market that was so (not heard),” said Meghan. “Now it may seem more normal. People will listen now as ‘well yes of course,’ it wasn’t of course. It was a revolutionary way to think about make -up and beauty at the time.”
Kern Lima, 47, founded the cosmetic company in 2008 after struggling to find products to assist her battles with Rosacea and Hyperpigmentation. Before finding success, he admitted rejection for “three years straight” while trying to get her brand in shops.
“I sent samples everywhere and none of them believed, at the time, in this idea of products that work for people with skin issues and we show it on all ages and real people and size and skin tones,” said the business woman. “They would always tell me this, exactly these words, ‘Women will only buy from images of an untreated aspiration.’ Those two words were always, ‘unattainable,’ which means you can’t even look like that ‘because it’s not real.
Despite the obstacles, Kern Lima did not give up her dreams. Now Cosmetics is found at retailers across the country. When Meghan decided to venture into the Business world with its brand as everHe admitted that Kern Lima had given her some hard love advice that helped in the long run.
“You and I had just become friends, and I was talking to you about business. I remember you told me, ‘Okay, so what’s the timeline?’ I said, ‘Oh, a few months from now.’ You said, ‘That’s too soon.’ And I didn’t want to hear that, but you’re right, ”Meghan remembered. “You planted a seed that became my knowledge, and the grace gave me a place to take my time until it was right.”
Meghan added that “I didn’t want to hear it, that’s what I needed to hear.”
