Welcome! I’m So Glad You’re Here

 

Thank you so much for stopping by—my cat Brady Michael and I absolutely love having guests!

 

My name is Andrea, but my friends and family call me Dre. I’m originally from Prince George’s County, Maryland—or as we proudly say, the DMV.

​

No matter what career I found myself in, one thing always stayed the same: my passion for beauty. Even after long days at work, I would still find myself in the mirror, practicing makeup techniques, experimenting with products, and getting lost in the art of it all. I always knew deep down that beauty would become more than just a side hustle—it was part of my purpose.

 

In the spring of 2015, I sat in a quiet, barely furnished apartment—just me, Brady, and a vision. I’ll never forget the moment I held the envelope from the state of Tennessee that said Chase Beauty was officially approved. I had reclaimed my independence, and my dream was now a reality.

 

Chase Beauty was born that year, and while I knew my passion, I was still discovering my purpose. That clarity came a few months later when I started working as a Beauty Advisor at Estée Lauder—and the rest, as they say, is history.

​

Since I was 18, lashes have always been my go-to accessory. I fell in love with how they elevated my eyes and pulled my whole look together. My lash collections are deeply personal—inspired by the women in my life who have challenged, uplifted, and emboldened me to stay true to myself and my craft.

 

The best part of what I do? Seeing that light in someone’s eyes when they recognize just how beautiful they truly are. That moment—the shift in confidence, the self-love—it’s everything.

 

Through Chase Beauty, my mission is simple: to help people from all walks of life embrace, love, nurture, and ultimately Chase Their Own Beauty—along with their goals, dreams, and aspirations.

 

Welcome to my world. I’m so glad you’re here!

UPDATE:

 

Since writing this and building this space, my beloved cat and loyal life companion, Brady Michael, has since passed away on March 20, 2023. He was 18 years old, and truly the best partner a girl could’ve ever asked for.

 

Brady wasn’t just a pet—he was part of the journey. He was there during the quiet nights when Chase Beauty was just an idea, and he sat beside me as I dreamed it into reality. That’s why, even now, I haven’t brought myself to remove any part of the site that mentions him. His presence is still here, woven into every step I’ve taken.

 

I like to say that Brady fulfilled his mission as the best cat ever—and then graduated to his next journey among the stars. I miss him every day, but I know his spirit is still with me.

 

I love you, Brady Michael. Thank you for everything.
