Eloïse International Academy
What does your company do?
We are a Internationally Accredited makeup school that provide makeup courses, private makeup classes and workshops.
What is your biggest success?
My greatest achievements include opening the Eloïse Professional Makeup Academy, launching my own cosmetics brand, and sponsoring initiatives that empower fellow women. Founding the academy allowed me to turn my passion for makeup into a platform that educates and uplifts aspiring artists, both locally and internationally. Creating my own cruelty-free, vegan-friendly cosmetics line was a dream realized giving women access to high-quality, professional products they can trust.
One of the most meaningful parts of my journey has been giving back through sponsorships. From supporting school beauty competitions to sponsoring grassroots pageants and offering full makeovers to women overcoming trauma, these initiatives have allowed me to make a real difference in people’s lives.
These achievements reflect my commitment to empowering women, creating opportunities, and building a community where women support each other to rise not compete to tear one another down.
What has been your biggest hurdle?
My biggest hurdle has been building my brand and academy from the ground up without external financial support or investors. As a self-funded entrepreneur, I had to navigate every challenge financial pressure, self-doubt and burnout while still showing up confidently for my students, clients and team.
Another significant challenge was overcoming the criticism and judgment that often comes with being a woman in business, especially in the beauty industry. I had to learn to silence the noise, believe in my vision and stay focused on my mission to empower others.
Despite these obstacles, I remained committed, consistent, and purpose-driven. Every hurdle became a lesson and every setback helped shape the strength and resilience I bring into my business today.
These challenges pushed me to grow not only as an entrepreneur but also as a woman determined to lead by example and inspire others to keep going no matter how tough the journey gets.
