Next Chapter Nibble: From Make-Up Artist to founder of her own brand: Ruby Hammer MBE

Ruby developed a love for make-up when, as a child, she’d watch her mum dress up for cocktail evenings and dinners where they lived in Nigeria. She later had pictures of models (not pop stars) on her wall – but back then she thought she’d be a doctor, just like her dad.A chance encounter changed everything. Ruby went on to become a leading make-up artist working with supermodels like Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss and Cindy Crawford. She began her own make-up brand ‘Ruby & Millie’ with her friend and business partner, Millie - which was sold in Boots. Then, in 2007 Ruby received an MBE for services to the cosmetics industry. Ruby knew she had another Next Chapter so she founded Ruby Hammer Beauty. This Next Chapter Nibble begins with the day Ruby had her first job as a make-up artist. Hosted on Acast.
