In this episode Amber Hurdle interviews Tricia Cusden, founder of Look Fabulous Forever, and a grandmother who is frankly doing online marketing better than you! Tricia shares her business success tips and video marketing experience that you can apply to your Bombshell Business.
In a society where the ‘ideals’ of beauty are almost exclusively represented through images of younger women and ‘anti-ageing’ products, it can be hard for older women to accept the natural ageing process, and also to find realistic role models to feel inspired by.
At the age of 65, Tricia Cusden grew frustrated with the lack of beauty products available specifically for mature skin, so she set out to create a range which catered for a vast, but under-represented, age group. In October 2013, Tricia took herself out of retirement and launched Look Fabulous Forever.
No Excuses
Tricia, now 68, was not only inspired to create a makeup range which provides a ‘one-stop-shop’ for older women, but also wanted to create a place where older faces and real women were celebrated through a ‘pro-age’, rather than ‘anti-age’ ethos. The brand has also developed over 40 makeup tutorials available on YouTube, featuring real women over the age of 50, which have had nearly 2 million views between them.
So, tell me again how you are, “not techie” and just can’t seem to find the time to marketing yourself online?
