• The Original No Makeup Makeup With Founder, Victoria Jackson

  Victoria Jackson, the original creator and pioneer of the term No Makeup Makeup—and owner of the trademark—has spent decades shaping the way women think about beauty. Starting as a makeup artist in the 1980s, she sparked a movement that celebrated natural beauty and empowered women to feel confident in their own skin. She went on to found Victoria Jackson Cosmetics, the first cosmetics brand sold on television, achieving an unprecedented $1 million in sales in its first week and ultimately driving over $1 billion in revenue through 13 groundbreaking infomercials and a decade on QVC. After stepping away from the industry to focus on her family, Victoria made a triumphant return in 2024 with the launch of No Makeup Makeup—the brand—bringing a new era of clean, effortless beauty. Anchored by 13 inclusive shades of a 7-in-1 Foundation with proprietary FlexShade Technology™ and a precision-matched brush, the line is designed to enhance rather than mask. When it debuted on QVC in January 2025, it generated $1 million in just 24 hours, proving the enduring power of Victoria’s vision. Today, No Makeup Makeup continues to redefine beauty standards, showing that true radiance comes from confidence, not heavy layers of product.In this episode, Victoria also discusses:Pioneering the “no makeup makeup” movement during the 80sHer famous “half-face” demonstrative marketing When you look better, you feel betterThe importance of shade selectionWhy wearing more makeup ages youTurning challenges into opportunitiesExpanding the line into blushes and lipsticksWe hope you enjoy this episode and gain valuable insights into Victoria's journey and the growth of www.nomakeupmakeup.com.

• Miranda Kerr on KORA Organics, Wellness, and Building a Global Brand That Lasts

  When Miranda Kerr was just 16, her mother’s cancer diagnosis became a turning point prompting her to look closely at what she was putting in and on her body. That moment sparked a lifelong passion for holistic health and organic living, ultimately becoming the seed for KORA Organics. As a supermodel, Miranda spent years in the makeup chair—constantly exposed to products that prioritized quick results over clean ingredients. Frustrated by the lack of skincare that was both certified organic and truly effective, she decided to create her own. After three years of collaboration with leading chemists in the natural space, KORA launched in 2009 with a bold mission: to deliver high-performance skincare powered by uncompromised ingredients and grounded in wellness. Every formula meets the strictest global standards and is supercharged with antioxidants—thanks to sustainable harvesting methods that are kinder to your skin and the planet. Today, KORA is available in over 40 countries and remains rooted in Miranda’s original vision: skincare that supports your glow, inside and out.In this episode, Miranda also discusses:Inspired by noni fruit & her grandma’s natural remediesInfusing products with rose quartz for energy & intentionBeing fully certified organic, not just “clean” Uses plant-based retinol alternatives like bakuchiol & acaiSelf-funding the brand and being deeply involved in every productThe importance of consistency in your routineHaving the brand stand alone without her attachmentFun fact, Miranda writes her own copy!We hope you enjoy this episode and gain valuable insights into Miranda's journey and the growth of www.us.koraorganics.com.
