She wanted to help woman feel comfortable in their own skin without have a cake face.
Tolerence and Ambiguity
Jamie Kern Lima took a very large step to get to where she is. First she had to find an ingredient that would help cover imperfections without having a caked look. So it took a very long time in order to find the perfect ingredients. She went all natural which some people didn't like, so going out in public without makeup was another big step. Selling her company to L'Oreal was another big step because she would now be selling her product all over the world and it gave her uncertainty because she didn't know if the products would sell or not.
Rule breaking
Jamie Lima spent many years going to college and making a living as a news anchor. She decided to quit and make a company of her own.
