There was a time when makeup artists wouldn’t think of showcasing their work on their own faces, but Katie Jane Hughes helped to change that. In this wide-ranging interview, she shares how she went from aspiring singer to manicurist to makeup artist to creator and—by next spring, if all goes according to plan!—founder of her own line. Plus, Katie, who works with celebrities like Ashley Graham and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, spills the secret to glowy cheeks (it’s not makeup), and shares how to use some of her favorite products, including her new go-to mascara (Ami Cole), the Ere Perez lip crayon that won't dry out your lips, and the Glossier concealer she calls “tinted moisturizer in a pot.” Products & people mentioned on Ep. 435: shopmy.us/collections/70655Episode recap, links, and sponsor promo codes: fatmascara.com/blogPrivate Facebook Group: Fat Mascara Raising a WandSocial media: @fatmascara, @jessicamatlin, @jenn_editSubmit a "Raise A Wand" product recommendation and be featured on the show: email info@fatmascara.com or leave a voicemail at 646-481-8182 Hosted on Acast.

We promised today’s guest, makeup artist Terri Bryant, that we would title this episode of the podcast “Makeup Artist Develops Revolutionary, Universally Designed Products That Make Makeup Artistry Better and Easier for Everyone”—but it was too long to fit! However, that’s exactly what Terri's done with her line, Guide Beauty. After receiving a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease, Terri began working with experts in Universal Design and Inclusive Design to rethink makeup products and make them easier for people with mobility issues to use—which, of course, made them easier for everyone! Listen in as Terri shares her story, teaches us about the everyday products that owe their existence to pioneers of Universal Design, and explains why she’s on a mission to make applying cosmetics easier for everyone.All the products mentioned on Ep. 431: shopmy.us/collections/67427Episode recap, links, and sponsor promo codes: fatmascara.com/blogPrivate Facebook Group: Fat Mascara Raising a WandSocial media: @fatmascara, @jessicamatlin, @jenn_editSubmit a "Raise A Wand" product recommendation and be featured on the show: email info@fatmascara.com or leave a voicemail at 646-481-8182 Hosted on Acast.
