Chicago entrepreneur turns the city's streets into her makeup studio, one neighborhood at a time
24-year-old Chicago entrepreneur Kourtni Brandy turned her teen makeup hobby into a thriving venture. Starting at 14, she launched Bleu Rouge Cosmetics at 17, and now runs her "Beats on the Street" series—doing fresh makeup looks across Chicago: by The Bean, 31st Street Beach, her high school’s Morgan Park, etc.
Beyond makeup, she challenges Chicago’s negative stereotypes, highlighting its great people, small businesses and tight-knit communities. Her socials gained 5k followers in weeks, with hundreds of thousands of video views, and she encourages aspiring entrepreneurs to stay creative.
Would you book a street makeup session? Any Chicago spot you’d pick?
