Our Mariam

Mariam

When I started Living Beauty Inc. in 2015, I wanted to share my vision of great beauty products with Canadians. In doing this, I also ended up building a national network of professionals, retailers and store owners who feel as passionate about beauty as I do. With results-driven, innovative and safe products as our common ground, we work together to evolve the beauty landscape to be more kind, more inclusive and more effective.

 

Beauty’s been a part of my life since the days when I would raid my mom’s makeup bag and apply her products while watching Sesame Street (clearly an early adopter). In high school, I became a finalist in Seventeen magazine and Chanel’s “Nail Color of the Year” contest and, although I didn’t win, the experience sealed my fate in the beauty industry. I left my hometown of Toronto to attend NYU where my friends and I would volunteer to work backstage at New York Fashion Week. It was hard work, and it taught me that nothing is out of reach. For 10 years, I oversaw a medical skincare company where I introduced industry leaders like Biologique Recherche and James Read Tan to Canadians. Although I’m a skin-science nerd at heart, I also studied to become a makeup artist.

 

With Living Beauty Inc., I’m focused on the next evolution of the beauty industry, one that’s democratic, thoughtful and brings value to a community. My definition of beauty includes anything that creates the foundation before you put your clothes on, and I’m on a mission to expand our perception of the good that beauty can do. Beauty fits everyone. It’s an amazing way to help people achieve the best version of themselves.
