‘I was constantly asked what beauty products I was wearing’: Married At First Sight star Aleks Markovic reveals what inspired her to launch her own beauty range

Former Married At First Sight star Aleks Markovic has revealed what inspired her to launch her own beauty range. 

The 26-year-old told The Wash on Friday that she was often being asked what makeup she had on- so she decided to create her own. 

‘I was constantly asked by friends what beauty products I was wearing, in particular what lipsticks I had on. So I decided to launch my own lipstick line with all the colours that I love,’ she told the website.

Aleks went on to explain that she wasn’t happy with the matte formulas on the market already. 

‘I was just fed up with those matte-style lipsticks that look quite cakey. I wanted to create a product that was moisturising and long-lasting. 

‘That I could eat and drink with, go out in and it’d still stay fresh, with the colour strong enough to stay on the lips all day or night,’ she said.

‘I haven’t had any negative feedback yet it’s all been really positive!’ Aleks said.

‘My vision [has] come to life and something that I had a dream of creating is finally here. I listened to the universe and followed my gut and even though this wasn’t easy, I know that God has led me here,’ she wrote.  

Aleks rose to fame after appearing on this year’s season of the Channel Nine dating experiment, where she was paired with Ivan Sarakula, but the pair have since split.  

The beauty, who also works in real estate, admits that the show opened doors for her to pursue her dreams.  

‘Being on MAFS gave me a lot more opportunities, you’re more recognised now so people know who you are,’ she told Perth Now.
