“It’s great to do this kind of makeup on yourself everyday for no reason.”- Donni Davy, Euphoria’s Head Makeup ArtistFor her official podcast debut, I had the honor of sitting down with Donni Davy AKA the makeup mastermind behind HBO’s Euphoria. If you’ve been watching this unforgettable show for the past year, or if your social media feed has continuously been flooded with looks that can only be described as “glamorous, adolescent doom”, then you know this is a big deal. HUGE. Donni has helped to set a beauty standard that not only accepts neon, rhinestones, and glitter, but demands it. Whether it be a show like Euphoria or an Oscar-winning film like Moonlight, her unique approach to makeup as self-expression is a true gift. After growing up in Venice, California as the child of two artists, and then moving to Brooklyn for art school, this level of genius comes as no surprise. But of course, the journey wasn’t always easy. Tune in for a raw conversation on growing into one’s confidence, being an art school kid, and hustling no matter what.

Social media has bred this idea that you get out of college and you are this superstar...It gives off this perception that you don’t need to put in the work anymore.- Naomi Elizée, Vogue Editor and Podcast HostWhen I think of Naomi Elizée, the first word that comes to mind is hustler. Even from age 7, Vogue’s Associate Market Editor could not help but dream of her future career. And by the time she was in college, that passion only continued, leading her to endless internships from Saks Off 5th to Seventeen magazine. Today, between her ambitious job in fashion and her podcast So...What Do You Do Again?, it is clear that Naomi is helping to create a path for other young black women in the industry. Tune in for our discussion on black-owned designers, paying your dues, and practicing radical self-care. Links to Products/Resources Mentioned:"84 Black-Owned Fashion and Beauty Brands to Support Now and Always", SheaMoisture Coconut Curl Smoothie, @nigella_hair_studio, Hyper Skin, Epi.logic Vitamin C Serum, DBS Darker Skin Tones Foam Wash, DBS Hyaluronic Serum, Laneige Lip Mask, Nars Concealer, Glossier Boy Brow, YSL Color Mascara, Tom Ford Lost Cherry, Byredo Mojave Ghost, I May Destroy You, Chewing Gum, GreenLeaf  Hosted on Acast.
