The Ex-Corporate Creative Nancy Twine, founder and CEO of Briogeo Hair Care, former Commodities Vice President at Goldman Sachs
Twine spent almost seven years working on Wall Street, before founding Briogeo Hair Care in 2014. She has since become the youngest African American female in history to launch a line at Sephora.
Signature look:
"Casual chic. I like the nice, neutral shades of W3ll People makeup, BareMinerals foundation and Nudestix lip colors. I like to keep things very natural. I try to find shades that don't have too much pop."
Beauty no-no:
"When you're in meetings, you don't want the focus to be on your deep red lipstick, your bright eye shadow and your funky hairstyle. You want the focus to be on the discussion. That's why it's important to keep your look simple."
Ultimate advice:
"I meet with a broad audience of people. When I'm with beauty editors in New York, I can pull off bright red lipstick, but when I'm with my finance team, I go more conservative. It's all about knowing whom you're meeting with and being able to adapt, so you don't disrupt their culture. That's how you build relationships. When I was on Wall Street, I would wear my hair back. Now, because I represent a hair care brand, I take the time to blow dry and style."
Beauty power play:
"I get a manicure every single week. People do look at your nails. Plus, good nails give you confidence, because they make you feel like you are put-together down to your fingertips."
