Sarodj Bertin is Widening Her Brand

Former Miss Haiti Universe Sarodj Durocher Bertin won’t disappear from the spotlight anytime soon. Bertin is widening her wings, and recently signed a deal with Miami-based Maite Makeup company. It was only a matter of time before the almond-eyed beauty would get snatched by a cosmetic company. Sarodj has her own collection with the cosmetic company. We discussed the line and her future as an entrepreneur.

What does this deal mean to you?
It is a project we worked on together, with the Maite Makeup Company, and it is so pleasant to see it come true.

Out of all the cosmetic companies that have approached you, why did you choose to go with Maite?
I chose the Maite Makeup Company, because Maite and Luisa—the owners of the company—are young women fighting for their dreams, and I wanted to support them. Besides, when I tried the entire collection I loved it, the good quality, nice pack[aging], and beautiful colors.

Can makeup make a girl look beautiful?
No, I believe all of us have beauty, and makeup help us show that beauty, but if you feel beautiful, you will look beautiful.

How do you care for your skin when you have been wearing makeup?
I make sure I remove all the makeup with a cleansing soft scrub, and then use a conditioning cream
for the face. Daily I use sunblock on my face and neck, and drink a lots of water.

What’s your favorite piece in the Maite collection?
My favorite piece it my from the collection Sarodj by Maite Makeup Company, the name of the lipstick is: I Love Haiti.

Do you have a special regimen that you follow, in terms of exercise and the like?
I work out 3 to 4 times a week, I do cardio from 30 to 45 minutes, and I try no to eat carbs, after 6 pm.

You’re quite the businesswoman. Can we hope to get a Sarodj Bertin clothing line? Or perhaps your own line of cosmetics down the road?
Well I can tell you that soon you will see Sarodj in other things! But, it’s a surprise. Can’t tell you right now what it’s going to be! Ha ha.

Do you have any special beauty tips to share with the ladies out there?
I like using really organic things for beauty, some of them are: aloe Vera. I use it as a mask for the face, every 3 months. I use brown sugar with honey for body scrub. I put some almond oil in my daily body cream. And I drink tea [tea] everyday.

ABOUT K. St Fort K. St. Fort is the Editor and Founder of, well, Kreyolicious.com and wishes to give you a heartfelt welcome to her site. She loves to read, write, and listen to music and is fascinated by her Haitian roots, and all aspects of her culture. Speaking of music, she likes it loud, really, really loud. Like bicuspid valve raising-loud. Her other love are the movies. She was once a Top 50 finalist for a student screenwriting competition, encouraging her to continue pounding the pavement. She has completed several screenplays, with Haiti as the backdrop, one of which tackles sexual abuse in an upper middle class Haitian family, while another has child slavery as its subject. She is currently completing another script, this time a thriller, about two sisters who reunite after nearly 10 years of separation. A strong believer in using films to further educational purposes, and to raise awareness about important subjects, she has made it a point to write about social issues facing Haiti, and making them an integral part of her projects. She has interviewed such Haitian-American celebrities as Roxane Gay, Garcelle Beauvais, Jimmy Jean-Louis, Briana Roy, Karen Civil, and many, many more. And that’s her writing this whole biographical sketch. She actually thinks writing about herself in the third person is cute.
