Poppy King has nothing left to prove. She has created two successful beauty lines, ridden the corporate wave, and done it all with her integrity intact. She's one of the few beauty entrepreneurs with the courage to sit out trends that don't feel right (like founder-as-social-media-star) and speak up on industry issues that feel misguided (the endless obsession with growth at all costs). In this interview, she and Jess talk values-driven success; “humble” brands she loves; why she stepped away from her line, Lipstick Queen; and what she’s doing next.
