5. Nora Cosmetic is a locally owned make up brand
by Nora McAslin. The beauty who hails from
Bobonong in Botswana saw a gap in the beauty
industry and took over. Nora realized that most
products were not manufactured in Africa and
were unable to withstand African weather, as they
melted under hot conditions of the African climate.
This inspired her to create a product suitable for all
women skin tone but also perfect for the weather
climate. Nora Cosmetics was conceptualized a
couple of years ago but only started retailing in
2016, after an intense research on makeup
production methods.. Like any other entrepreneur,
Nora faced a series of challenges among them
high rental space in shopping complexes.
However, the secret in her success lies in not
giving up. Nora continues to encourage anyone
willing to be an entrepreneur, across all fields, to
follow their dreams and be determined, keeping in
mind that hard work pays.
