I’m Ellana Byers - the founder and formulator of three beauty brands, including Be Coyote, a mineral makeup brand loved by more than 30,000+ customers and built entirely from scratch.
I’ve spent over 20 years in the beauty industry - from running salons, to working hands-on in cosmetic manufacturing, to understanding product development, marketing psychology, and what actually makes customers say “yes.”
In 2011, I started Be Coyote with nothing but an idea, a newborn baby, and relentless determination.
No investors.
No shortcuts.
No outside funding.
Just a vision - and the willingness to work harder than anyone else.
Over the years, I scaled it into a multi-million-dollar brand, developing high-performing products, building a fiercely loyal community, and completing thousands of influencer and UGC collaborations along the way.
What I Do Now
Everything I’ve learned - the strategy, the mistakes, the wins, the human behaviour behind what sells, lives here inside Silent Empire.
This is the home of:
My brands
My experience
My strategies
And the next chapter of what’s possible
Alongside running my own beauty companies, I now help other brands grow smarter and faster through:
