With so many young, eager beauty junkies looking to break into the beauty world, they just might get a serious headstart with "Beauty Biz Camp."
This new non-profit program is all about teaching teens about the beauty industry's ins and outs. Corynne Corbett, former editor of Essence, came up with the awesome idea. This multi-faceted beauty maven knows all the industry's hottest happenings.
"I think the beauty industry is challenged because there is not enough representation at the [decision-making] table," Corbett said to Fashionista. "Instead of complaining about it, I need people to do something about it. They say we can't find the people [to fill those jobs,] so then let's equip people to do the jobs." We're down with that.
