BeautyBlender founder, Rea Ann Silva, is on Female Founder World with Jasmine Garnsworthy!

Everything Rea Ann Silva knows about business, she taught herself—and uh she knows a lot: Rea Ann's sold more than 50 million units of her invention, BeautyBlender!

She doesn’t have an MBA, but what she does have is 100% ownership of a big beauty business that she grew without any investors. And while we couldn’t get revenue numbers, know this: BeautyBlender is stocked in Sephora, Ulta, Nordstrom, Net-a-porter,  Revolve, Blue Mercury and dozens of other retailers; has more than 3 million Instagram followers; and has been featured in every major beauty publication you could think of.

Rea Ann started the business in 2003 while working as a celebrity makeup artist and raising her daughter as a single mom. Over the next two decades she built something truly mind blowing. Tune into this episode of the Female Founder World podcast to learn more.
