info_outlineOn this episode of the Friends in Beauty podcast I welcome Brianna Meshack to the Friends in Beauty guest chair. Brianna is a Makeup Artist & Owner of StunnerBee Beauty.
Makeup, entrepreneurship and beauty are things Brianna is literally obsessed about! She loves the idea of women striving to make their own way in life and being unapologetically independent.
The idea & brand, StunnerBee Beauty, was formed out of the need to have Makeup Luggage that made Brianna perform more efficiently as an artist, looked luxurious and was portable. So she designed The BlackOut Collection and The ShellShock Case to fill this void in the marketplace. Product development is near and dear to her heart and it's something she enjoys immensely. Brianna’s hope is that you enjoy the brand as much as she does creating it.
