Today we’d like to introduce you to Shay Mechelle.
Lips n Lashes by Shay was established in 2017 by CEO Shay Mechelle. With Shay Mechelle’s unique style in cosmetics, from her style of lashes to her bold, matte lipstick, she’s always been the trendsetter of dramatic lashes and a good lippee. She would always get asked “where do you get that color lipstick” or “are those your real lashes”? After seeing those were the questions that most individuals would always ask, she decided to go on her own cosmetic venture with starting Lips n Lashes by Shay. At the startup of business, she catered to mink lashes and her bold, matte lipsticks. Like many entrepreneurs, there has been plenty of trial and errors and hardships. Shay Mechelle’s motto she stood by with overcoming some of those obstacles was and is “Remember Why You Started”. With following that motto, she never gave up the opportunity of growing her business.
Fast forward to March 2020, she decided to do a relaunch of her business, which included incorporating ALL cosmetics. From face, lips, eyes, down to skincare, she has made, as well as, added to her business name “Lips n Lashes by Shay Cosmetics”. With the relaunch, came more dedicated care for her customers with making sure most/all her products are CRUELTY-FREE. “Making sure my customers are cautious of what they put on their skin matters most. We put enough bad stuff in our bodies from the stuff we eat”. Makeup should be fun even to the ones who really don’t wear it on a regular basis! Makeup has always been a passion of hers for a longtime and still learning each day, with perfecting her craft. Don’t be afraid to “Bring Out Your FIERCE”! We have a full selection of cosmetics, so feel free to browse, shop, and send us an email on products you would like to see more of. 💋
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
Like other start-up businesses, we’ve had our fair share of ups and downs, and with that said we’ve overcome those obstacles and consider it to be a learning experience.
Please tell us about Lips n Lashes by Shay Cosmetics.
We are a black-owned cosmetic business. We started off as specializing in matte lipstick and mink lashes. Now we are a full cosmetic line that caters to CRUELTY-FREE products for many/all shades of color.
If you had to go back in time and start over, would you have done anything differently?
Allowing the fear of just “going for it” hold me back! No business is going to be perfect, but we just learn from and strive for excellence with each customer’s experience.
