Born and raised in Jersey, Peeks Cosmetics owner Latasha McRae always knew she would become her own boss. In 2001, she pursued her Associates in Science for Film and Video Production at Full Sail University. McRae always loved the behind-the-scenes aspects of video and film, including the makeup of it all.
Shortly after obtaining her degree, McRae fell sick and faced a near-death experience. McRae was restricted to a coma for over 3 weeks. Once she awoke, McRae was on the road to recovery. She didn’t think twice; she knew she had to do this for herself and for her dreams. It took her two years for her to fully recover and redevelop speech and physical capabilities again. Instead of letting this experience hinder her, McRae used this as motivation for what will come next in her life.
Curious as to what happens before the scenes of action take place in movies, McRae sparked an interest in the area of personality and makeup. Once fully recovered, McRae enrolled at the University of Phoenix, where she obtained a Bachelor of Science in Business Management in 2007. She completed two degrees that would help her become the successful entrepreneur she always wanted to be.
McRae picked up her things and decided to make a change in location. She moved to Orlando, Florida, and shortly after, launched Peeks Cosmetics in 2014. Taking her real-life experiences and using them to inspire her path, she made her dream a reality. She wanted to help people feel good about themselves and for them to enjoy non-toxic makeup.
With the belief that everyone should look and feel beautiful and not limit themselves to one personality type, McRae felt that Peeks Cosmetics would help people do just that. Peeks Cosmetics offers a line of high-quality products that are infused with essential vitamins that are cruelty-free and gluten-free.
McRae is the epitome of hard work and perseverance. Even after falling sick and having to relearn the simple tasks of life, she never lost sight of the big picture. She pushed through all obstacles and went with her instincts to keep working at making her beauty dreams come true. With her own cosmetics line that continues to grow, McRae is the true definition of a woman in business. Visit www.peekscosmetics.com.
