We’ve all heard about those career switchers – getting bored with one job; longing for another. But what if I said you could improve your quality of life with an upgrade? You don’t necessarily need to change your career entirely – you might just want to add to it. Take these famous examples, for instance.

Famous name: Trina Turk
Job title: Wardrobe designer
New endeavor: Turk has attached her name to the Clinique brand and has a collection with them now. Those who are already following her clothes line can get to their local Clinique counter for a taste of her influence on the popular cosmetic line.

Famous name: David Yurman
Job title: Jewelry designer
New endeavor: Bringing his upscale jeweled background to the table, Yurman has created a rich fragrance that appeals to the woman’s sense of smell.

Famous name: Heidi Klum
Job title: Supermodel
New endeavor: For the second year in a row, Klum has partnered with the company that catapulted her to fame – Victoria’s Secret. She has created a beauty collection that is a limited holiday edition of lipstick, eyeliner, and blush.

Famous name: Emanuel Ungaro
Job title: French couture and haute designer
New endeavor: Ungaro has teamed up with Mac Cosmetics to form his very own line of Mac cosmetic products. His collection look: classic black cases with his name splashed across the front in hot pink.

While these celebs may have had a bit more help because of their famous names, it is certainly something to think about. You can start in one field and just expand within the same area. If you think outside of the box you’re more likely to get what you want and be successful because it is the idea that has yet to be discovered or acted upon that will help you really have the beauty career of your dreams.
