Quotes to Note:
“Something that I’ve learned in the process of growing a team is truly that you should hire people based on their soft skills, and who they are, and if they’re in alignment with you, versus their actual technical skills.” – Camille Levi
“We put a lot of focus on our business, our branding, and our marketing, but we are the faces of our brands, and you want to match what you’re putting out there.” – Camille Levi
“I want to debunk the beauty world and make it accessible, relatable, and achievable for everyone.” – Camille Levi
“It’s not about how much, [makeup you put on] it’s about how you feel good, and how you want to show up for yourself and your brand. When we pour a lot into the business side, but then we neglect ourselves, it doesn’t go together. It’s not balanced. And I think that that’s important.”- Camille Levi
