Victoria Curtis founder of Curtis Collection reveals how her love of makeup inspired her successful business.

I love this most about having my own business…
“Having my own business is not only rewarding, however it challenges me to be the best version of myself at all times. My business pushes me to be self motivated, creative, innovative and to constantly evolve and grow.”

The soundtrack to my life would be…
“The ‘Dirty Dancing’ soundtrack all the way…. “I’ve had the time of my life” ICONIC!”

If I wasn’t doing this you would find me…
“In PR or a Matchmaker! I love connecting people and networking is definitely my forte!”

My one product I could never live without is…
“Such a difficult question, as so many of my products are ‘essential’ in my life! My two absolute ‘must haves’ however, are our ‘Naked Glow CC Cream’ and ‘Full Coverage Concealer’. Concealer is one product I definitely can not live without!”

The best piece of advice I have been given…
“My mother always gives me the best advice. She’s always told me “Someone has to do it, why not you?” Words to live by!”

I love makeup because…
“Not only can makeup enhance a woman’s features instantly – more importantly it’s the confidence that it brings a woman and how she feels about herself. In my eyes, confidence is the most beautiful and irresistible feature of all. The fact that our makeup can ignite that confidence within a woman is the most satisfying part of what I do.”

My favourite weekend vibe is…
“I spend my weekends with my gorgeous son who is six years of age and an absolute delight. In the evenings you’ll find me with my girlfriends, enjoying a beautiful dinner and definitely sipping on a martini!”

My favourite beauty treatment is…
“I don’t often treat myself, however when I do, I love a facial, laser treatment and LED Light Therapy. I recently started skin needling and PRP and I am loving the results of both!”

I’d tell this to myself starting out in skincare…
“Prevention, prevention, prevention! Keep your skin out of the sun!! Such an easy and simple way to prevent ageing. Use a good quality mineral makeup product in your teens and early 20s, in order to maintain nourished, hydrated, youthful skin – also prevents breakouts!”
