The Accelerate Action theme speaks to the journey of Anastasia Beverly Hills CEO, Anastasia Soare

As a woman-founded company, admiration and respect for women is woven into everything Anastasia Beverly Hills does. Through its company and communities, Anastasia Beverly Hills uplifts women everywhere, sparks moments of joy, and shares opportunities. 

Founder and CEO of Anastasia Beverly Hills, and often referred to as the 'Eyebrow Queen,' Anastasia Soare is a Romanian-American businesswoman. Her company aspires to empower women every day through uplifting beauty routines, and through sharing the entrepreneurial legacy of its founder.

Marking International Women's Day (IWD), Anastasia explained how her own career journey aligns with the Accelerate Action theme, and shared an empowering message for all women chasing their dreams.

Championing women supporting women

“When I was getting started in the beauty industry, I was in a position where I relied on other women's support. My clients stood by me, sharing my business through word of mouth, and I cherish those relationships - some of them decades-long. I owe everything to the strong, vibrant community of women I met along the way, and I realized that's what I wanted to do for the rest of my life - support other incredible women in return. I think most of us here are aware of the special power a community of support can radiate. So, I invite you to turn all your energy towards supporting other women," said Anastasia Soare.

"When I came to America with nothing but a dream, I had no idea where it would lead. I built Anastasia Beverly Hills on passion, hard work and the belief that every woman deserves to feel confident and empowered. This year's International Women's Day theme Accelerate Action speaks to my journey and to all of you chasing your dreams. It's a reminder to take bold steps, lift each other up and push for change together. We can create a world where every woman's potential knows no limits. Let's take action," encouraged Anastasia.

Anastasia Beverly Hills took further action on International Women's Day by launching limited-edition cosmetics bundles inspired by the strength, resilience and power of women.
