Brand Consultant, Christina Aristodemou

This week, Lan talks to freelance brand consultant, Christina Aristodemou, one of the most sought after consultants and beauty PRs, having worked with the likes of NARS and QMS Medicosmetics. Christina discusses her vast experience in the sector, the places from which she has drawn her inspiration, the power of make-up and how it can empower us in positive ways, and how collaboration can inspire and ignite us. KEY TAKEAWAYS The power of make-up is that it energises our soul. When we look good, we feel better. It is not always about standing out, but empowering us in a positive way, and giving us the confidence to face the day ahead. The true artists are those who can produce magic - who can take a blank canvas and see beyond what is traditionally possible. Working in and among great creatives allows us to, by osmosis, absorb the tastes, styles and passions of those to whom we aspire. Don't ever take things personally. Remember that business is business. Don't give up, and remember that everything happens for a reason.
