Hey guys, it's Lisa here and today on Sheelux's podcast, we are partnering up with Space Nk and we are interviewing

the amazing Jamie Genevieve, who is the founder of Vieve. And for me this is a pleasure,

because we've been friends a long time Jay I feel very comfortable talking to you

I'm almost like right let me stick to my questions because who knows what we're gonna actually be saying

Okay, so this is a podcast all about success stories and yours really is quite remarkable

and also still kind of at the beginning in some respect, but I want to go back to the actual beginning because you

started on a makeup counter in Glasgow, right?

And how old are you?

What was the makeup counter?

So I was 18 years old and I got my first job in

debonums and it was Esti Lauder and I worked there for two years and my I love coming from counter and I've said before that I think

maybe a part of me was maybe a little bit embarrassed at one point because I was like, oh well, you know,

I've not done A-list and I'm not done Celebrity celebrity makeup and do I need to do that to be successful

But after you know building the brand we've had V for nearly three and a half years now

It's all the things that I learned and all the conversations that I had and all the

customers that I met and all these kind of relationships that I forged at the very

start that are that are so key to the why and the how and the and and for vivis so yeah I started

at Esti Lauder for two years and then you know that's a super classic legacy brand I loved my brand training when I was there I remember I went to

Dublin for five days to get to all the kind of like tips and tricks have been a makeup

artist on a makeup counter and it was so important for an 18 year old that wanted to be in the industry.

It was really, it was really great.

Then I moved over to Alaska and worked there for two years, which is much more artistry focused. The formulations were unbelievable.
