Meet Suzy Molen from In Your Face Beauty Works
♥ Please tell us about yourself:
I am a mom to 3 boys. They keep me busy along with homeschooling them, and being very involved at my church. I have always been a creative soul and at a young age wanted to own my own creative business.
♥ How long have you been in business?
I have owned my own business for almost 10 years though In Your Face Beauty Works was started in February of 2012.
♥ Please describe your business:
In Your Face Beauty Works is an all natural mineral makeup company. I have a wide variety of products including foundation, eyeshadow, blush and more. All the ingredients in our products are natural and great for your skin! I am also a one woman show! All formulas and everything are made by me.
♥ Tell us what inspires you:
I love color so the world around me is so inspiring. Making healthy choices is another thing that inspires me. I love that I know each ingredient that I am putting on my skin and how it helps to care for my skin and not harm it with harsh chemicals.
♥ Please share with others, your best marketing techniques:
I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you. :) Just kidding. Word of mouth is definitely the best marketing out there. Happy customers are the best! Giving out some samples to people to test doesn't cost a ton and they usually end up buying more later on. Knowing and loving the product you sell will really show to your customers also. I LOVE what I do and it shows.
♥ What do you love most about your business?
I love that it's so fulfilling. I make items from scratch and I love it. I also love that I even as a single mom, I can stay home with my kids.
♥ Please tell us why have chosen Craft Café as a venue for your business?
I chose Craft Cafe because I knew the owners took a lot of time in considering what is important to sellers in a venue.
♥ What advice can you give for crafters/artisans just starting out?
Owning a business is A LOT of work. Research research research your product before you even start. Owning your business is not an "if you build it, they will come" type of thing. The more you put in, the more you'll get out of it. Patience is a virtue! Successful businesses don't happen over night. Take time to make your business grow and your products top notch.
♥ Where do you see your business in 5 years?
Rich and famous. lol. I wish! Well at least the rich part. :) I have written down some goals and I hope have met and exceeded those goals within 5 years. I have many ideas for expanding as well. I would like to add an entire line of skincare products along with the mineral makeup.
