Proudly South African makeup

Makeup is one of the biggest industries in the world.

South Africa hosts hundreds of coveted international brands but very few that are locally created.

At just 27, Connie Bhebhe decided to make a change and produce local products for local women.

Let us throw some stats at you just to help show how big the local market actually is…

These stats are about 7 years out of date so can you imagine what they are like now in the beauty obsessed society?

“The total size of the South African cosmetics and personal care products market for 2010 was estimated at R25.3 billion at retail level and contributes 1,0% to the gross domestic product (GDP).”

Connie went to Canada and bought some high end products.

and when she returned she realized she could do so much more for herself as a business woman and for the country.

She created Connie Transform and started small, creating six stunning shades of lipstick that are high quality and long lasting.

Currently she has 14 shades since starting in December 2016. She is based in Johannesburg and has some really great advise for other entrepreneurs who are wanting to start their own companies.
