On this week's episode of Networth and Chill, I'm sitting down with beauty influencer legends, Manny MUA and Laura Lee to break down the beauty industry. The beauty industry is a multi-billion dollar industry, with more products available to consumers than ever before. With so much to choose from, and at such varying levels of expense, it's impossible to know which products are worth the hype. As two long time beauty influencers, as well as entrepreneurs of their own makeup lines, Manny and Laura know a thing or two about what goes into making a good product. We chat about how they got into the industry, and what they have learned about the making of makeup since starting out. What products are worth the money, and which would they steer clear from in the future? And with people wanting to make smarter financial decisions, I want to know what Manny and Laura think about drugstore makeup vs. luxury brands.
