“Love Yourself” isn’t just a mantra to live by. For beauty founder Tisha Thompson (), it’s the purpose that drives to help people foster a meaningful connection with themselves ✨

The Allure Best of Beauty–winning brand has remained an editor favorite, thanks to formulas that make makeup application seamless and confidence-boosting. Beyond the scope of offering high-performance beauty products, it’s Thompson’s breakthrough in the beauty industry that speaks volumes to how she was able to scale LYS’s beauty success beyond virality. “Virality doesn’t replace real community management and engagement. It’s an entry point,” she says. Her vision is just a small glimpse into the ever-expanding world of LYS Beauty, with their latest launch, Higher Standard Cream and Powder Multidimensional Blush Duo, already stirring hype and buzz.

Hi, I’m Kendra Bracken-Ferguson and welcome to KBF Ventures.

KBF Ventures is the umbrella for my ecosystem—bringing together the companies I build, the brands I invest in, the boards I sit on, and the partners I deeply believe in.

I officially formed KBF Ventures back in April 2020 after a client encouraged me to structure everything under one entity. Some of it I got right. Some of it I got wrong and it cost me time, money, and heartbreak.

But I learned.

And in that process, I fully embraced who I am:

a visionary leader, a builder, and an architect of innovation and transformation who believes in pivots and prayers.

Today, I’m no longer playing to “win” or “lose.”
I’m playing to keep playing grounded in infinite possibilities, not finite outcomes.

That is what The Beauty of Success means to me.

Through this lens, I’m building and supporting an ecosystem that reflects every part of my journey:

✨ Sharing my personal story →

✨ Curating beauty + wellness through retail innovation →

✨ Championing founders + community →

✨ Creating space for sleep, wellness + purpose →

✨ Elevating conversations with industry leaders →

✨Redefining entertainment by innovating how consumers Watch, Shop and Invest in brands—transforming them from viewers into stakeholders →

Welcome to KBF Ventures. I hope you’ll follow along!

Carpe Diem.

Stop asking “what should I buy?”

Start asking “what should I own?”

From screen → shelf → shareholder.

Introducing Test and Invest, the first platform where viewers can watch, shop, and invest in brands in real time.

I’ve had the honor of being on G&B’s advisory board for the past 5 years and have witnessed greatness, growth and unparalleled business acumen in the evolution of the influencer industry! As someone who’s been in the space for decades first in co-founding it’s exciting to see and be part of the future that Kyle and team are building!
