Lyn said women needed to look beautiful to express their full potential as well as the ability to lead “because feeling beautiful through makeup, hair and overall appearance make up the woman”.
Speaking recently at the launch of her new saloon in Avondale, the 32-year-old beautician said every African woman was beautiful and their beauty could be enhanced with use of African-made cosmetics.
“I believe every Zimbabwean woman out there is beautiful, but beauty needs to be enhanced. l have brought these cosmetics specifically for the African woman because l discovered that most of the products out there are manufactured targeting women in general,” she said.
With more than 100 000 followers on her Facebook page titled Beauty Platform, Lyn offers hope, guidance, encouragement and tutorials to women with a dream to live in beautiful spaces, look younger and feel alive.
She opened her first beauty salon in Avondale to make it possible for Zimbabwean women to access a wide range of her cosmetics.

“This Avondale salon will make it possible for every woman to access cosmetic products at any time. l consider being shabby is caused by choices that we make, but l made efforts to bring affordable products,“ she said.
Lyn was raised in Rusape and trained as a nurse. She said her passion to change the Zimbabwean brand through teaching African women how to look good led her to create her own cosmetic range. She is the founder of the Ruby Lyn make-ups.
“The world is cruel and women have to stand up and have passion to follow their dreams. l trust you can be whoever you want, but only by standing up and taking the challenge.”
