The lipsticks ‘KA’OIR Force’ and ‘S.T.O.P, Pool Party’, became instant hits and she soon launched ‘Ka’oir glitzsticks’, nail lacquers, lip gloss, and other makeup accessories. Being the CEO of her company, Keyshia also took her company to the next level by signing endorsement deals with musician/rapper, Trina, the Jersey Shore star Snooki, and Teyana Taylor.
