50: Beauty and the Boss; Jessica Richards, Founder of Shen Beauty

Jessica Richards is the founder of Shen Beauty, Brooklyn’s original beauty store. What started out of a need to replace a smashed face cream turned into a beauty empire. For over a decade Shen has been a “must visit” destination for beauty enthusiasts from all over the globe. The carefully curated selection of innovative and exclusive products are handpicked by Jessica, usually amidst bouts of insomnia between 1am and 4am, and has amassed a cult following that includes celebrities and beauty editors.  Jessica is 36. And a single mom of two boys. She is the curator of cool, a major inspiration and the girl you would want as your best friend. Oh and she opened a new storefront in a pandemic. She takes no sh*t, works harder than anyone and continues to show the beauty business who's BOSS!
