She started by packing boxes as an intern. Now she’s the Global Brand President of NYX Professional Makeup. Denee Pearson joins us for a candid, laugh-out-loud, notes-app-worthy talk about what it really takes to elevate in the beauty industry and in corporate life when you’re building from the ground up.
We get into the career climb the unsexy parts and the strategic parts: how purpose and values can guide better decisions than chasing titles, what “knowing your worth” looks like in real salary negotiation conversations, and why your network matters as much as your résumé. Denee also breaks down a mindset shift we’ve all needed: perfection doesn’t make you promotable, progress does. Hard work is powerful, but only when it’s aligned with what the business actually needs and when you’re brave enough to be seen.
We also talk visibility in the work-from-home era, authentic leadership (yes, even with crop tops), and “actions of manifestation” like acting like the role you want before you have it. Then we switch gears into culture and creativity: NYX campaigns, the Butter Gloss obsession, the NYX Body launch with Meg Thee Stallion, and the beauty trends we think are doing too much.
If you’re serious about career growth, women in leadership, representation in beauty, and building confidence that lasts, press play. Subscribe, share this with a friend who’s leveling up, and leave us a review with the one move you’re making next.
