Mary Harcourt of CosmoGlo on the Gift of Time, Overcoming Fears, and Thinking Bigger
Sometimes the circumstances that feel the most limiting turn out to be the ones that set everything in motion.
Mary Harcourt joins Julie Bee on Makers Gonna Make to talk about how the COVID-19 pandemic became the unlikely catalyst for one of the beauty industry's most talked-about product launches. As a lash artist and salon owner in California, Mary had already identified what every beauty professional quietly knew: there was no lighting solution built for the specific demands of a treatment room. The gap was obvious. The question was who was going to fill it.
Mary's answer was simple. If she did not build it, someone else would.
What followed was a rapid evolution from lash artist to salon owner to lighting designer and developer. The result was CosmoGlo, the patented professional beauty lighting brand now trusted by 35,000+ beauty professionals across 80+ countries.
In this episode Mary and Julie cover:
- How a forced pause became the gift of time that changed everything
- What it takes to overcome the fear of building something entirely new
- Why thinking bigger is the skill most makers underestimate
- The moment Mary realized the market gap she was sitting on was actually an opportunity
If you have ever talked yourself out of making the leap, this one is worth your time.
