In Episode 2 of our special-edition Faces Behind Beauty series, you’re about to meet someone I have personally admired for YEARS.
She is the epitome of confidence embodied.
A visionary. A connector.
An unapologetic powerhouse who has shaped this industry more than most people will ever know.
Dynamic. Determined. Dedicated.
And she is Shannaz Schopfer.
Shannaz has spent over 40 years not just working in beauty — but architecting it.
Redefining what’s possible for brands, founders, and the global marketplace.
She’s the woman the world’s most influential companies call when they need someone who can see around corners — the strategist, the connector, the visionary who spots possibilities long before anyone else.
As CEO of The Beauty Architects, she’s built a global engine for innovation: sourcing what doesn’t yet exist, curating the impossible, and opening doors most people don’t even realize are there.
Her work elevates beauty brands to new heights, expanding markets, unlocking growth, and reshaping the future of this industry.
But what I love most about Shannaz isn’t just her experience — it’s her presence.
Her perspective.
Her ability to walk into any room, in any country, and lead with a grounded confidence that makes everyone around her rise.
And today, she’s pulling back the curtain — not just on what she knows, but how she thinks.
This conversation is a masterclass in:
⚡️ Staying relevant in an ever-evolving industry
⚡️ Why age is power (wear it like your badge of honor)
⚡️ Why women must stop fearing failure and run toward it
⚡️ Building a global, future-ready career
⚡️ Thinking like the founders and leaders shaping beauty’s next era
⚡️ Why financial literacy is a nonnegotiable skill
⚡️ Rising with clarity, conviction, and confidence — no matter where you’re starting
This is a conversation about pushing boundaries, speaking your unapologetic truth, and redefining what’s possible — for your career, your confidence, and the future of beauty.
And I’m going to say this without giving anything away...
There is something very exciting being announced for the first time publicly in this episode. 👀
So settle in.
Take a deep breath.
And get ready to learn from one of the most powerful, influential, respected women in our industry.
Let’s dive into this transformative conversation with Shannaz Schopfer.
