I vividly recall being 16 years old and accompanying my grandmother to the Sephora in New York City's Times Square. She methodically walked every aisle, picking up any product that caught her eye—fascinated by the packaging and the formulas and the color offerings, as joyful as a kid in a candy store.
Her name is Sydell Miller, and she also happens to be the pioneering entrepreneur and bold businesswomen behind the beauty brands Ardell and Matrix, both of whom are responsible for revolutionizing the way women accessed self-care through image-making, reaching back to the 1960s.
These days, she's in her mid-80s, and still keeps her hair platinum blonde, having merely swapped her heels for sparkle-covered sneakers. And while her reputation is far-reaching and her successes plentiful, Ardell is finding its voice with a new generation. |
