The Product Entrepreneur Podcast
Whether you’re a full-face glam type or a natural face girlie, you probably already know one of the most important (and hard to perfect) steps of the makeup routine: Your foundation. I was struggling with this myself this past year. My usual go-to—the Fenty Sheer Glow foundation—just never really agreed with my skin, no matter what I tried.

I gave this one another try, and voila: melty,...

But the fact that Q1 sales have to be poor is a self-fulfilling prophecy—and something that’s fixable! In this week’s podcast episode, I’m going to be covering some of the reasons why...
