Belfast based make-up artist and entrepreneur, Ciara Daly (pictured left), has just secured a lucrative contract with Gordons chemists to sell her be-spoke make-up brush collection, which she created and designed.
Ciara’s ‘Hero’ brush, used to apply foundation, has already proven a phenomenal success with over 40,000 brushes being sold in less than four years by students at her make-up academy, ‘Hero’ house parties and various exhibitions throughout the UK and Ireland. Her complete collection is also proving a big hit.
Ciara, who started her make-up academy in 2009, created her make-up brush collection as she identified a niche in the market. She says;
“Whilst teaching my make-up students I quickly realised that few of them had the right tools of the trade as good make-up brushes are indispensable. Many national brands are too expensive and the cheaper options you can buy on-line just don’t do any professional makeup artist justice. I set out on a mission to create my own line of brushes and find the right manufacturer and worked tirelessly to ensure that the packaging looked sleek, fun and professional too. After a long journey in the actual ‘creation’ The Ciara Daly brushes collections are certainly flying off the shelves and I’m delighted that Gordons Chemists are now going to be my main retailer, with their 35 outlets selling them.”
Nicole Gordon (pictured right main image), marketing projects manager for Gordons says;
“It’s a real coup for Gordons to stock the Ciara Daly Makeup Brushes Collection and we’re proud to be teaming up with another prestigious local brand. As these brushes are of excellent quality and great value for money, I am confident that there will be a huge demand for them in our 35 stores throughout Northern Ireland. Ciara is a very dynamic professional and everyone at Gordon’s admire her innovative, entrepreneurial spirit. We wish her every success with further developing the Ciara Daly brand.”
