Ariane Turner missed her chance to walk on stage during a collegiate pageant because she was too busy applying blush to her fellow contestants. That’s always been her philosophy, when it comes to beauty help others, particularly in the Black community, feel beautiful in their skin.
She took her love of makeup from the pageant circuit to the Lancôme counter at Dillard’s and to photo shoots and weddings, working both jobs to help pay for college. After graduation, she went into human resources but was laid off during the downturn of 2008. That’s when Turner decided to make beauty her full-time pursuit, hustling and networking until she got hired to work on Tyler Perry’s television shows.
