How I Started A $700K Beauty Company At 14 Years Old | The Ground Up
In October 2018, Aaliyah Arnold founded her online beauty and skin care brand @BossUpCosmetics when she was only 14 years old. Now at 18 years old, the Houston native expanded her line-up, offering a wide selection of products from eyeshadow pallets and lipsticks to blushes to brushes, along with her signature lip glosses. With over 1.5 million followers on TikTok, she shares a behind the scenes peek into her business where she received shoutouts from pop artist @MeghanTrainor and makeup artist @JamesCharles.

“Even though they are kids, there kids that know what they are doing.” Exactly, you can’t just excuse their bad behaviour for being kids! I blame their parents, to be honest. But, glad she is getting recognized! She deserve all the best!❤
So proud of her and I don’t know her, I’m 25 and she’s motivating me 🤍

She’s on tictok
I hope that this lady inspires this generation to make something of themselves and learn priority.
She’s such a huge inspiration and I absolutely LOVE how her entire family helps support her business. Everyone from her mom down to her cousins help her run the business. I’m so happy for her success. The negative comments she gets I believe are from individuals who don’t have a supportive family, it’s easy to feel a way when you have zero support from those around you. Nonetheless, allow this young woman to motivate you so you can be great too! ❤❤❤❤
What a beautiful thing to see that a young lady has her own successful business! So proud of her! ❤
I'm 49 and you inspire me so much young lady!!❤️
I think it’s absolutely heartbreaking when kids bully each other for things that they have absolutely no control over or can’t change…..💔
She is an inspiration for this generation .
Aaliyah seems like such a sweet girl. Goes to show you can still be nice person and be a Boss B!!! She’s killin it, very inspirational! 💜

❤❤❤ Great job mama, the MESS USUALLY turns into Success !!! My Niece at 9 years old, I began teaching her how to make rope bracelets with the purpose to eventually begin selling Handmade Jewelry on line. At 12 years old, she had actual Clients of grown Women, braiding hair, styles that were worth $150 at the Salons .... But of course being a child, she had to charge half the price, Lol KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK DARLIN & ALWAYS SHOW GRATITUDE TO YOUR GREATEST SUPPORTERS, YOUR FAMILY !!
Such an inspiration! Congratulations
I’m happy for her and her business, but I honestly have a hard time considering buying from them because I don’t know if I believe everything is sanitary and the chemicals in the products aren’t toxic/bad for you…
So amazing
Amazing young lady ❤❤
Girl….YES!
BEAUTIFUL ❤❤❤
Congratulations

Hey! Since you want to branch out in 2023, I have a business proposal for you! I’m currently living in Amman, Jordan with my husband to help his family and we have plans to move to Dubai. There is a HUGE craving for good cosmetics here and we have a lot of friends that do business with selling American items here and selling Jordanian products in the US. We’re currently working on our first small business of selling items in the US right now. I am a huge craft person and my husband is all about marketing and sales, so I would love to hear from you and start a conversation, gain some trust with each other and see how far your dream goes! I’m rooting for you! ❤️Griffin
Can anyone find the video of her showing how much she pays her family???

Her glosses and skincare etc all have her brand name. it’s fine to let her use Stanley’s, just let it slide. She’s known for glosses too.

She has so many orders you think she’s wasting 7 hrs on one cup for cheap. It’s time consuming . She also advertised for them for free. Stop hating.
About to place my second order with her company 🤍 love her products!
@Aaliyah, Do you have an email address I can send you an email at?? I’d love to talk with you about being a guest speaker on zoom for my high school entrepreneurship students. You’re such a great example to our young people!! Glo girl!!
