@askellenbeauty: Retail is not for the faint hearted. I spent many years working counters as an artist and I learned so much of what I know in that time. It gave me a thorough understanding of what different people want and need from their glam and I was lucky enough to work with the best of the best. Top artists, brand founders, skin experts, fragrance experts - you name it. It’s informed my work now and I’m so grateful for all of it. If you are starting out in beauty and you want to really understand glam and understand product - it is an advanced education.

Retail was essential for being able to switch on even when tired or not feeling it, and make conversation with a whole range of people. I worry lots of new content creators wouldn’t know how to engender confidence and trust with a new client

I found when I went to beauty school that putting makeup on myself is easy peasy, but when I went to put it on someone else, I was like WTF? Also working retail makes you a better person

My last retail job was being a beauty advisor at Sephora and to this day this was hands down my favorite retail job I had! I loved getting to help people with tips and constantly learning new skills from my team. 🩷
