As one of the world’s leading beauty influencers, Camila Coelho appears to have it all. With more than 12 million social followers across various platforms and her own fashion label and beauty brand, her ascent from humble beginnings in a small town in Brazil to a life of glamour in Miami is a true rags-to-riches story.
But when hello! joins Camila, 35, for this exclusive interview and photoshoot, she reveals she faces the same struggles as other women, particularly since the birth of her son Kai, 14 months, whom she shares with her media executive husband Icaro.
Having moved to the US with her mother when she was 14, following her parents’ divorce, Camila’s passion for beauty began when she worked on a department store make-up counter in Boston and started producing YouTube tutorials – at a time when the concept of “influencer” was in its infancy.
