Since 2023, MakeUp in LosAngeles has been proud to have Ana Allen as its official ambassador. A renowned Indie brand product development expert, Ana brings her expertise to the forefront—helping emerging beauty brands navigate the complexities of product development, marketing, and scaling.
Empowering Indie Beauty Brands to Scale & Succeed
Ana played a key role in launching and leading The Beauty Tank, a high-impact beauty entrepreneurship competition aimed at elevating and supporting emerging brands, while also hosting workshops and panel discussions with key industry leaders. These events provided actionable insights on scaling, product-market fit, and brand positioning, empowering businesses to refine their strategies for sustainable growth.
The Beauty Tank competition was created to elevate and support beauty entrepreneurs, offering this year’s participants broad industry exposure, potential strategic partnerships, connections with retailers and investors, and meaningful collaborations with vendors and manufacturers, all designed to help up-and-coming beauty brands thrive and scale.
Consulting and developing third-party beauty brands, I focus on scaling strategies that include market entry, operations, manufacturing, and brand growth, providing comprehensive guidance to help brands establish themselves and expand successfully in the competitive beauty industry.
Emerging beauty entrepreneurs received direct mentorship and funding opportunities, strengthening the indie beauty ecosystem through networking and collaboration, and helping to foster growth and innovation within the industry.
