As I walk into Harvey Nichols in Manchester it isn't hard to spot LA based make up exec Sharon Chuter, who is paying a VIP visit to the store following on from the launch of her make up brand. Sure, she is surrounded by a gaggle of laughing women, there is a champagne bucket and a fluffy little white dog called Leo, but I'm pretty sure I could have vibrated towards her from her infectious energy alone.
Then there is her magnetic physical presence - glowing skin, hair a mass of goddess like tumbling braids and a dazzling, mega watt smile. Dressed in ripped jeans and a blazer over a slogan T-shirt, and sporting designer shades, she has effortless star quality and oozes confidence from every perfectly closed pore.
But Sharon wasn't always called Sharon, in her birth place of Nigeria she was actually christened Ufuoma - which means "beautiful thing."
