In this episode of Sorry, It’s Discontinued, I sit down with my friend Suqura to talk about her journey through the beauty industry — and how it all started long before the counter.

From watching her mom get ready in the mornings to secretly wearing makeup through middle and high school, her love for beauty was rooted in confidence, transformation, and self-expression.

We take it back to our days working together at the CHANEL beauty counter and talk about how her career has evolved — from luxury retail to her current role with Charlotte Tilbury as a Sales and Artistry Account Coordinator.

From her time as a Business Manager at Nordstrom to her continued freelance artistry, Suqura shares the moments that reminded her why she fell in love with makeup in the first place.

This episode is about more than beauty — it’s about confidence, creativity, and finding your purpose in the industry.
