Emily Alexandra Cosmetics Owner Talks Building a Business

When did you first establish your cosmetics brand, Emily Alexandra Cosmetics?

It was at the end of 2018 – but I had the idea for years. It’s amazing how some things take years to come to fruition.

Did you ever get sleep building your brand up?

There have been times that I’ve been less motivated. However, that’s when I reach out the most to new people, network with new events, and get my juices flowing even more with new ideas and opportunities. Instagram is a great tool for networking in real time all over the world.

What advice do you have for someone just starting their entrepreneur career?

Create a plan, come up with multiple ideas, and see how you can execute all of them in a timely manner. Make sure you have funds and people to help back you. Your lifeline and inner support is the most important.

How did you get into your niche?

I feel I’ve always been a Mermaid ever since I was a little child. It wasn’t until my 20’s when I became a professional mermaid and decided to create my own cosmetic brand, Emily Alexandra Cosmetics, that has all natural, vegan, cruelty-free, water-resistant, sweat-resistant, ocean-friendly, with coral reef safe SPF in all of the products.

I also Founded my nonprofit and named it supportingwater.org where I find and raise moneys to bring drinking water and much more to emerging nations. A portion of every purchase from Emily Alexandra Cosmetics goes directly back into supportingwater.org

Was it hard to start your business?

It’s extremely hard. Long hours, but well worth it. I love to have something to call mine.

What were some of the trials you went through when you first started?

I went to fast too big too quick. I had to scale back, start all over, then re-brand. That was a very big financial hurt. Moral of the story… as my mom always would say – take your time so you don’t have to do it twice (why didn’t I listen to her?!).

What’s your goal for the next 10 years in business?

I would like to sell the business in 10 years, be in numerous countries including Dubai and other luxurious locations, doing huge events and sponsoring the Olympics as the official makeup sponsor, and much, much, more!  

Did your friends support your business when you launched it? If not, why do you think not?

A lot of them were extremely jealous, and now they’re looking at me asking for support. A lot of them were also extremely supportive too though.  I guess you’ll always get haters. Especially when you’re doing something right.

What’s something you haven’t done in your career yet that you always wanted to accomplish?

 I would love to do a world tour of mermaid gigs all over the world and collaborate with other famous international mermaids like the Singapore mermaid.

Every great love story deserves a walk down the aisle straight out of a fairytale. From the conceptualization to the perfect centerpiece, boutique event planning companies like Gutiérrez F Studio can puzzle the details together to craft an event that tells the bride and groom’s story. 

Today, where wedding ideas are beautiful yet veer toward feeling recycled, Gutiérrez F Studio imparts a sense of uniqueness, identity, and human connection to every event it brings to life. 

“Everyone has access to the same Pinterest boards, but our mission is to create events that are truly unique. We aim to make every detail tell a part of our clients’ stories,” shares Fernando Gutiérrez, the founder and lead creative of Gutiérrez F Studio.

Knot Your Average I Do: Crafting Experiences

From the very first consultation, it is clear that the Mexico-based event studio is anything but run-of-the-mill. Each project is a culmination of a deeply personal journey, guided by a commitment to crafting experiences that are both visually elegant and emotionally reverberant.

At Gutiérrez F Studio, the magic of a well-crafted event is not just about grand visuals; it is about creating experiences that age gracefully into core memories over time. 

The nuptials designed by Gutiérrez F Studio are out to resonate deeply with the people they celebrate. As a full-service event design and production studio, Gutiérrez F Studio specializes in transforming visions into reality through custom architectural design and art. It comprises a team of warm, reliable, and innovative creatives.

What truly speaks volumes about its signature brand is the dedication to delivering seamless, end-to-end service that covers every aspect of the event. The team meticulously plans and manages every detail, collaborating exclusively with top-tier suppliers for quality that is second to none. This encompasses aspects that engage all the senses, such as top-tier audiovisual elements and menus curated by world-renowned chefs. 

The studio has put its name on the map as a master of storytelling, a notion that is evident in even the minutest of details. “We don’t just follow trends. Instead, we create atmospheres that blend romance, elegance, and innovation, tailored to reflect each couple’s unique love story,” notes Fernando Gutiérrez. “Our aesthetic is concept-driven, meaning every event we design is a one-of-a-kind narrative brought to life in creatively curated spaces.”

From 2017 to Forever

Over the next 12 months, Gutiérrez and his team will actively explore opportunities to expand their target locations, aiming to bring their bespoke event design and production services to new international markets. So far, they have been the go-to brand across Mexico and Europe.

Since its founding in 2017, Fernando Gutiérrez’s company has completed over 320 projects, earning clients’ trust locally and globally. From the beaches of Mexico to its rapid expansion into the scapes of Spain and Italy, Gutiérrez F Studio has been rendering exceptional events worldwide, proving that the celebration of love is a universal language. 

“Whether we’re planning events in Mexico or across the ocean, we hope to create moments that our clients will look back on fondly,” shares Fernando Gutiérrez.
