Vera Moore is a former actor who discovered a lack of inclusive make-up while on set of her show "Another World" when she was the first black member of the cast.

Moore mortgaged her own home to get the financing to start her own cosmetics line, using her husband who was an esthetician for cosmetics advice. Moore launched the Look Boutique, a store within a store, at Duane Reade.

She also discussed the importance of networking for women, especially those looking to start their own business.
