  <title>Makeup Artist by Day, Million-Dollar Real Estate Agent by Night | Claire Tan</title>
  <description>Claire Tan started her first business at 17 - not because she had a plan, but because she refused to work in a system where someone else decided how far she could go. In this episode, Claire walks us through how she built Ladyy Claire Makeup into one of Singapore's first makeup-only bridal companies, pivoted into luxury real estate during COVID, and quietly became one of the most respected agents working with high-net-worth clients - all while being a self-described introvert who hides behind the curtains at parties. We get into: why she broke her scholarship bond and never looked back, how she practiced three hairstyles a day and cried through all of it, how she lied about her age to land early clients (then revealed the truth after the job), what it actually takes to sell $3-5M properties as a 21-year-old, and the one belief she's still working on unlearning - that her self-worth equals her output. &amp;amp;nbsp; TIMESTAMPS &amp;amp;nbsp; (00:00) Trailer &amp;amp;amp; Opening (02:20) Starting a makeup business in Singapore at 17 (06:10) Why Claire chose entrepreneurship over a “safe” career (10:34) Building resilience before success&amp;amp;nbsp; (12:33) From makeup empire to real estate (14:03) The skills Claire had to grind to improve (17:25) Being an introvert in people-facing businesses (19:17) What it really takes to succeed in real estate (23:45) Building confidence by holding yourself to high standards (25:27) What Claire is actively working on as a leader now (28:49) A mindset shift for those still figuring things out (30:47) “Good advice” Claire chose not to follow - and why (35:13) Being underestimated in her business &amp;amp;amp; career (40:35) The belief Claire had to unlearn as success grew (42:55) Closing &amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp; CONNECT WITH CLAIRE TAN &amp;amp;nbsp; Main Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/clairetankt&amp;amp;nbsp; Make Up Company Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ladyyclairemakeup&amp;amp;nbsp; Real Estate Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ladyyclaireproperties&amp;amp;nbsp;   CONNECT WITH CHERYL LAU &amp;amp;nbsp; Website: https://cheryllau.com&amp;amp;nbsp; YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@cheryltheory&amp;amp;nbsp; Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cheryltheory LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cheryllau   WORK WITH CHERYL LAU &amp;amp;nbsp; I produce distinctive and deeply resonant podcasts for leaders and organizations who want their content to command attention, spark meaningful conversations, and attract high-value opportunities.
