Who is Fauzia Davis? 

My name is Fauzia Davis, sole owner and founder at Lamain Beauty. I recently just finished my bachelor’s degree in finance, and more than anything else, I enjoy spending quality time with my family and creating compelling content. For the past few years I’ve been learning and educating myself about beauty and skincare, to make change and advocate for all shades of beauty. When I created Lamain Beauty, I was thinking beyond just someone’s skin color but the human race. I believe that everyone is beautiful and deserves to be celebrated!

What prompted you to create this beauty brand?

Lamain was formed out of love, tough times, a sense of togetherness and like-mindedness in early 2016, when my Best-friend (Lania) and professional makeup artist had a mental break down, just like that she couldn’t even hold a makeup brush to do all she ever dreamed of!! And because of this beautifully skilled woman, I took a leap of faith to create Lamain Beauty. A platform to showcase the possibilities, and natural beauty in everyone while instilling hope, inspiration, and encouragement to other women around the globe. Fast forward, She’s now a pro makeup artist at Lamain Beauty shop in Uganda.

As a freelance and published model & Digital Content Creator in Seattle, Washington, I was frustrated with the beauty industry. I hated the idea that all women should look the same, and how makeup artists had to mix three different shades to get my skin tone, but only to get it wrong! So, I decided that instead of complaining about it, that I would create a solution. A beauty company that was built on exclusivity, diversity and non-toxic products.

Hatching the idea was the hardest yet the most rewarding stage in this whole process. It took us two years to do research development and developing manufacturing codes, and finally launched in August 2017.

I feel like I’m part of a continuum of women who, for centuries used whatever they had to create with a purpose. The fusion of creativity delights me!

From my best friend’s name, her name is Lania. I couldn’t think of a better way to support my BFF, but to create a pipe dream to inspire her during the healing process! The joint interest and contrasting experience morphed into the birth of Lamain Beauty.

How do you manage to run this business here while you are away? 

Nope, not even a single doubt in my colleagues. Having the option to delegate tasks helps me focus on making Lamain Beauty Bigger and Better. Luckily, I get to work with a badass team, and this has to be the best thing that’s ever happened to me. Every single person on my team is dedicated, talented, a go-getter, focused, trustworthy, efficient, reliable, dependable and most importantly, they love what they do. As a matter of fact, Lamain Beauty wouldn’t be where it is right now without team effort. On the other hand, we all understand and acknowledge that if one person on the team fails, we all fail, if they win, we all win #periodt Tell Us About The “Face of Lamain Beauty”As a team, we decided to create Face of Lamain Beauty, anevent organised to empower women from different walks of life by encouraging them to participate in our Brand ambassador program.
