When Camila Coelho made the decision to move her life and business from Los Angeles to Miami, she had one big goal in mind: motherhood! The Brazilian-born top beauty influencer and entrepreneur is no stranger to change or big dreams; but for Coelho, becoming a mother was the biggest dream of all.
Coelho’s transition from LA to Miami has been a smooth one, thanks in large part to her supportive team and extended family. And while motherhood may be her primary focus at the moment, she hasn’t compromised her business goals. In fact, she sees motherhood as an opportunity to further scale her brand, believing “being a mom” will make her even more relatable.
Building A Brand
Camila’s passion for beauty led to an accomplished career in both social media and entrepreneurship. She first rose to prominence as one of the most popular YouTube makeup artists on the platform, a trade she learned from working as a department store makeup artist for Dior. Sharing tutorials with her followers catapulted her to celebrity status as she became a global sensation, amassing online audiences in the tens of millions across a multitude of platforms.

With her popularity at an all-time high, Coelho launched the Camila Coelho Collection (CCC) in 2019- a namesake fashion brand, immediately followed by an all-natural skincare line, Elalux, during the Pandemic with her husband, Icaro Brenner. While timing proved risky for the venture, Coelho and Brenner successfully rode the wave, delivering their seasonal collections as scheduled and their highly-anticipated skincare line to Sephora as planned. Sales have been strong ever since.

A Fresh Start
At the end of 2021, Coelho spontaneously decided to relocate her life to Miami and find a house she could turn into a “little oasis”. It didn’t take long to land the perfect sun kissed abode with crystal clear pool and billowing palm trees suitable for their son’s arrival. And while the couple intends to purchase a home in the near future, they’ve already enlisted the talents of local designers to help create their ideal palace. Coelho has adapted well to Miami, and as a Brazilian, feels very much at home.

While success over the years has been seemingly consistent for Coelho and Brenner, the power couple celebrated their biggest accomplishment to date with the recent birth of their son Kai on August 5th, officially “sealing the family deal” after 12 years of marriage.

In a recent PEOPLE article, Coelho insisted she is “still pinching herself” after giving birth to her son and living what seems to be a “surreal” existence each day she feels his touch. “It’s something I dreamed of for so long,” she said about becoming a mom. “I’m exhausted, but I’ve never been so happy.”
Coelho, who has previously been outspoken about her epilepsy diagnosis, says she got to a point where she had “doubts” about starting a family due to her condition. “I went through a lot with the labor, but seeing him and his little face, everything was so worth it,” she told PEOPLE. After a long 24 hours in labor and an unplanned C-section, Coelho expressed gratitude that her son was born healthy and that they had no complications.

Through the power of social media she plans on staying connected to her fans and sharing her passion for beauty with the world while experiencing the ultimate joy of being a wife to Icaro and a mother to Kai.
