We’re reaching out to some popular creators to get their best tips and tricks for success and better understand the ups and downs of life as a trailblazer on the internet.
This week, we spoke with Sarah Palmyra, a beauty guru and content creator with over 1.4 million followers across TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram. Palmyra’s viral skincare, hair, and makeup advice videos garnered her a reputation as many followers’ “beauty bestie.”
In a past life, Palmyra was a full-time opera singer, and Palmyra partially credits her time in opera for her passion for beauty—backstage, she reportedly helped co-stars and fellow performers up their makeup game. Eventually, Palmyra decided to pursue beauty full-time, becoming a beauty advisor at the well-known beauty retailer Sephora. At Sephora, Palmyra said she trained up on cosmetic best practices, jump-starting her career in the beauty industry.
