Today we’d like to introduce you to Whitney Taylor
Hi Whitney, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
From a young age, creating my own beauty brand was a dream I was passionate about. The opportunity to turn that dream into reality came during my college years, where I started in my dorm room with just three lip colors. Today, I’m proud to have expanded to a full range of lip colors and other cosmetic products.
Reaching this point has required immense dedication, hard work, and perseverance. I knew that achieving greatness meant fully committing to my vision, and that’s exactly what I did. Now, W Cosmetics is featured on some of your favorite celebrities, gracing TV screens and magazines nationwide.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
The journey has certainly had its share of challenges. We’ve faced significant obstacles that many brands don’t encounter so early in their journey. From supply chain disruptions and trademark infringement issues to stocking problems, we’ve had to navigate a lot. The pandemic in 2020 was particularly tough, as it affected our operations deeply. We had to adapt quickly and creatively to stay afloat. While it felt overwhelming at times and made us question how we would overcome these hurdles, we’ve always managed to find a way through. Each challenge has made us wiser and more adept, ultimately strengthening our approach and enhancing our business for the future.
As you know, we’re big fans of W Cosmetics. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
At W Cosmetics, we’re proud to offer cruelty-free and vegan cosmetics that are not only trendy and user-friendly but also inclusive for everyone. Our mission is to empower people to express themselves authentically and confidently, embracing their individuality with boldness. We are proudly American-owned and primarily produce our products here in the United States.
While we offer a full range of cosmetic products, we’re particularly celebrated for our long-lasting yet comfortable lip colors and our exceptional face primers, which have garnered widespread love. What truly sets us apart is the blend of high-quality ingredients and the deep knowledge and artistry behind our brand. With over 15 years of experience as a professional makeup artist, I bring a unique perspective that allows us to anticipate and meet our customers’ needs before they even realize them.
We also take pride in our personalized customer experience. By actively listening to feedback and adapting our product line to the diverse preferences of our clientele, we ensure that each customer feels valued and heard.
I’m especially proud of how rapidly and significantly we’ve grown in just six years. Seeing our products embraced by customers both nationally and internationally is incredibly gratifying. Additionally, our mobile app has been a game-changer, making the shopping experience more convenient and accessible for everyone.
Any advice for finding a mentor or networking in general?
Networking has played a crucial role in the success of W Cosmetics. I make it a point to introduce my business to at least one new person wherever I go, whether it’s a nail salon, a restaurant, or any other setting. I believe that some of the most valuable supporters can come from unexpected places. This commitment to sharing our brand and engaging with new people has significantly contributed to our growth and success.
