- Who were afraid to express and represent herself through the available channels of Makeup, Skincare, Clothing & Fashion and art due to stereotypes growing up.
- Who struggled to find a wider range of foundation shades that matched, as well as quality makeup and skincare products that prevent premature breakdown of the aging skin.

Makeup and Skincare has been the gateway to creating Fania Ffrench Inc. which means so much more than makeup. Fania Ffrench is an outward expression of our inward beauty. This expression can be interpreted through the arts of facial, skincare, beauty, fashion as well as art throughout our homes.
Our dynamic mantra, "Clothing Your Skin with Luxury" rings true as we carefully introduce curated pieces in different categories.
Let's Get Personal!
Hi! I'm Fania and I dive into anything makeup. Usually before the start of my workday, I would choose a fellow co-worker and give her a complete makeover. Hearing the comments from other staff members as well as clients made to that staff throughout the day would literally make my day. I was often told I was in the wrong field of employment yet I struggled to find my perfect fit into the beauty industry as where I am from, makeup was deemed a less than honorary career path.
While working in Corporate, I gained formal beauty training as a Certified Makeup Artist and Depilatory Hair Removal Technician and did makeup for, as well as sponsored fashion shows, weddings, parties and special events.
I listened to the emotional stories and struggles of female wanting to wear makeup but were often told she doesn't need makeup to be beautiful. I also listened to the stereotypes surrounding makeup and often had to share my own stories to mitigate the stereotypes. I realized there were so many women who were yearning to get out and truly express herself and needed a tribe who understood.
I also realized the challenges of matching foundation shades with my clients and constantly had to mix and match formulas. I went even further by recording the ratios of the formulations I was using and filed the records so I had a history of what I was using on each client. I was even more excited when I had to recreate an exact match for my repeat clients. BINGO!!!! I started research into creating my own formulas from scratch and realized cosmetic formulation was a thing!
I went on to study Colour Cosmetics and Skincare Development as well as a Beauty Consultant and from there Fania Ffrench Inc. was born.
