What Marissa Carter definitely DOESN’T want you to say to her about Cocoa Brown

It drives her mad!

Nobody can deny the incredible success of Marissa Carter. She started a salon a number of years ago, and has pretty much been building an empire ever since. In fact, just last week Marissa launched launched a 103-product makeup range - pretty impressive. I was lucky enough to sit down with Marissa Carter recently, to chat about her business successes. There I was having a great time, asking loads of fun questions. https://www.instagram.com/p/BncBRRKFwqU/?taken-by=marissacarter Until I landed on one that she was less than happy with (and I don't blame her to be honest). I asked: "Were you surprised by the instant success of Cocoa Brown?" I am a moron. "I HATE when people say that Cocoa Brown had instant success," she said.

"It did not have instant success! Nothing was instant. I had built up loads of customers in the salon; that did not happen overnight." "My salon was eight-years old when I started Cocoa Brown so I had that kinda ready-made base of customers to start out with."

Carter Beauty Behind The Brand follows Marissa as she prepares to launch her most ambitious project yet: Carter Beauty Cosmetics. The affordable range (it all comes in under €15) includes a jet black gel liner (€4.95) and high pigment eyeshadow palettes (€14.95), as well as colour-pop matte lipsticks (€6.95).
