If you go by what they say in the movies, the beauty industry can seem glamorous and glossy. Truth be told, it isn't always so but that doesn't make it any less exciting. Stick to it long enough and things like lipstick swatches on your arms and reading product labels become second nature to you. But if you're still here even after the product testing, beauty launches and quick reviews, you know you're in a place that's meant for you. We spoke to 5 beauty industry insiders to find out what they love most about their jobs.
Mehak Sagar, Blogger at Peaches and Blush, Founder at WedMeGood
"I loved being part of an industry that has the potential to influence how someone feels about themselves. I get an even bigger thrill, however, when someone tries out a product I recommend and says - wow, this has changed the makeup game for me!"
Dr. Kiran Lohia, Founder at Lumiere Dermatology
"I love the science of my job-every single day, there's always a new innovation or technique to learn about which is so exciting and stimulating! Along with that, there's a sense of personal satisfaction I get from working with my clients and giving them good results."
Yashodhara Roy, PR Executive
"Having worked with beauty brands for a while now, my favourite part about the job is learning what's 'en vogue' before everyone else! It feels magical to take something as simple as a lipstick and transform it into an entire campaign splashed across social media and magazines."
Ojas Rajani, Celebrity Makeup Artist and Hairstylist
"My job is almost a dream come true! It's wonderful to get paid to transform faces with makeup and give my clients the look they've always wanted; the blessings and goodwill that come back are amazing. Plus, if I'm heading to work on a destination wedding, it's almost like a holiday-what's not to love!"
Radhika Seth, Model and influencer
"What I love about my job is how it inspires me to do better every day. I'm compelled to be a better version of myself each day and that's what keeps me going."
