Wanting to be great at something: To ambitiously approach a hobby or new skill, you’ll want to be great at it — not OK or decent, but great. Spending hours practicing will help elevate you from amateur to expert. Giving full-figured women greater access made economic sense. By adhering to traditional beauty standards, the fashion industry had been leaving money on the table. Designers such as Christian Siriano made a public point of catering to larger customers and, in doing so, were hailed as smart and as capitalist heroes. Now it’s fairly common for even the most rarefied fashion brands to include large models in their runway shows. The Kent Downs is one of Britain’s most wooded landscapes (23% woodland) and the majority of this is irreplaceable ancient woodland (70%) home to some of our most valuable and threatened wildlife and enjoying an economic resurgence.

Ambition is a desirable skill at work because it symbolizes your self-motivation skills, work ethic, and accountability. And it often means you’ve accomplished some pretty impressive career goals, making your resume stand out to human resources professionals. Work is already under way across Kent, with more planned – here’s a snapshot of projects large, small, regional and national. That said, it’s reasonably frustrating when your ambition is low and you can’t find the energy to accomplish your goals. These dreams are essential to feeling like you’re becoming the best version of yourself. And when your ambition in life becomes the barrier to achieving your goals, it’s normal to feel discouraged or overwhelmed.Your sense of ambition might wax and wane depending on where you’re at in your life — it can even change daily if you’re feeling extra tired or burned out. But you’ll always have desires you want to work toward, and any time you take on this work, you’re activating your own ambition. Beauty is, of course, cultural. What one community admires may leave another group of people cold or even repulsed. What one individual finds irresistible elicits a shrug from another. Beauty is personal. But it’s also universal. There are international beauties—those people who have come to represent the standard.

Camille Kroely: We’ve identified streams of opportunities in which we are in test-and-learn mode, with various champion brands that might be more fitted to explore in the metaverse. For example, on the brand story-telling side where you can bring value through self-expression, we have L’Oréal Professionnel and Maybelline in partnership with Ready Player Me, the number-one platform for avatar creation in the metaverse. In New York, there’s a fashion collective called Vaquera that mounts runway shows in dilapidated settings with harsh lighting and no glamour. The cast could have piled off the F train after a sleepless night. Their hair is mussed. Their skin looks like it has a thin sheen of overnight grime. They stomp down the runway. The walk could be interpreted as angry, bumbling, or just a little bit hungover. Being persistent: Ambitious people don’t easily give up when pursuing their goals, often doing whatever it takes to succeed. This might mean upskilling, revising a plan to make it attainable, and asking for help. I still remember the first time I tried a Glossier product. It was 2018, and the tiny pink item in my hand was a tube of Boy Brow, which my friend earnestly promised would make me look like Cara Delevingne. I caked on so much of the gel that I ended up looking more like Sandy Cohen from The O.C., but the allure of Glossier shone brightly nonetheless; even now, five years later, I’m still finding the brand’s signature pink plastic shopping bags in seemingly every crevice of my room.Ambition often starts with inspiration. Feeling inspired by someone else’s accomplishments is a great way to discover what you want to achieve. Asmita Dubey: We believe that the future of beauty is physical, digital, and virtual, and we are shaping it with science, technology, and creativity. We have already been exploring new business models like social commerce, marketing in the digital age and augmented-reality (AR) beauty, which is why we bought ModiFace in 2018. Through this technology, we have already had more than 1 billion try-ons using our virtual makeup and hair color.

To see the beauty in a woman’s rippling muscles is to embrace her strength but also to shun the notion that female beauty is equated with fragility and weakness. Pure physical power is stunning. In addition, we recently unveiled two exclusive technologies. HAPTA, our handheld, ultra-precise makeup applicator device, allows us to expand beauty needs to people with limited hand and arm mobility. The other is L’Oréal Brow Magic, the first at-home electronic brow applicator that delivers customized brows. The metaverse has been a big focus of your digital transformation. What have you learned and what’s next? If you need some healthy habits to support the goals you’re chasing, try these out. 1. Find a social group with similar goals​​ Called “one of the most disruptive brands in beauty” by Forbes , Glossier revolutionized the beauty industry with its sophisticated branding and unique approach to influencer marketing, almost-instantly making the company a juggernaut with rabid fans lining up for a chance to buy its coveted products. It also taught a generation of business leaders how to talk to Millennial and Gen Z customers and build a cult following online. As Asmita mentioned, the metaverse is also about building a new ecosystem and offering our brands new possibilities to express themselves. We’re now partnering with OpenSea, the leading marketplace for NFT and digital collectibles, to explore loyalty on-chain. We are also in partnership with Meta, and with Station F, one of the world’s largest business incubators for start-ups, for us to help accelerate start-ups. To grow creativity and inclusivity in the metaverse and to help our brand tap into new opportunities, we have just selected five start-ups that are now in Station F. How do you think the metaverse can influence beauty in the real world?And the globalization of, well, everything means that somewhere out there is an audience that will appreciate you in all your magnificent … whatever. We have come to equate beauty with humanity. If we don’t see the beauty in another person, we are blind to that person’s humanity. It’s scary how important beauty has become. It goes to the very soulfulness of a person.
