BeautyMe with Charisse Kenion

My FINAL guest of 2024 is here! I've wanted to have makeup artist Sara Wren on the show for so long, and I'm so glad that the Director of Artistry for Milk Makeup is our final guest interview. In this episode the Philadelphia-based makeup artist takes us behind the scenes of her life in makeup. From being inspired by Gwen Stefani and her first makeup counter job working for Christian Dior to how she became Director of Artistry for one of the most no-nonsense, multi-tasking beauty brands to come out of the 2010s: Milk Makeup. As well as being hilarious and enlightening, this episode is a great opportunity to learn more about beauty retail, because when Sara first started working at Milk Makeup, she actually worked in account management, spending much of her life on the road and in hotels. If you love this episode as much as we did, feel free to reach out in the DMs over on Instagram or find me on Threads - @charisse_kenion for both. And if you really loved this episode, give the show a rating or review - that would be the perfect Christmas gift to me. Also, be sure to follow the show wherever you're listening.

Today’s guest is Alicia Lartey, a London-based esthetician, skincare expert and cosmetic chemist student who also works in new product development. As such we talk a lot about skincare and Alicia’s approach is really refreshing, especially when it comes to brands who have always put diversity at the forefront of their offerings - not just because it's a trend. However we don’t just talk about the products we put onto our skin; Alicia is also candid about her journey towards feeling comfortable in her own skin, especially when it comes to her health. She also shares on her hilarious early experiments with makeup involving her mum’s Estée Lauder Double Wear foundation!

This episode is an absolute MUST for anyone considering working in the fashion industry as a hair or beauty pro. London-based Aminata Kamara is a hairdresser who’s spent most of her life working in hair and has become known for her beautiful braided styles at shows such as Kenzo and Louis Vuitton. In July 2023 Aminata's stunning designs for the Dior haute couture show went viral and she learned just how useful social media could be in making connections. This conversation is an inside guide to working in the fashion industry and Aminata shares on every aspect; from assisting rather than leading, the importance of being organised and saying yes to every opportunity you can. Along the way we also discuss the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and Aminata shares how doing someone's hair, is never simply about creating a style; it's often a precious moment of care in an industry that can be pretty ruthless.

Today’s guest is makeup artist James Boehmer, whose dreams took him from St. Louis, Missouri, to New York, to Japan – working at one of the most influential makeup brands in the world: Nars. In this episode James shares how he got to where he is today but also shares where he started, as a little queer kid growing up in St. Louis and watching glamazons such as Donna Summer and Debbie Harry on television. James shares some amazing stories from the late ‘90s when he first began working for Nars and how his entire life changed when he began working in Japan after the brand was purchased by Shiseido in 2000. James also shares on the differences between living and working in hectic Manhattan to the quieter, slower surroundings of Connecticut and how he’s finding the early days of opening a new store, Peggy Mercury. EDIT: In the episode intro I say that James moved to Japan; this is not the case. Although he travelled there often throughout his role at Shiseido, he was never a resident.

It's the episode I didn't think I was going to make, because I didn't think I would end up watching the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show making its comeback. In this episode I'm sharing a brief history of the brand before sharing my first impressions, and then I go through the show itself moment by moment. Finally I share my highs to balance out the lows. The second segment is an interview with Amy Gordinier, the founder of Skinfix and an entrepreneur who’s focused on giving all of us our best skin ever.

In this episode I talk to the brilliant Dominic Skinner, Director of Makeup Artistry at MAC Cosmetics and it is SUCH a good chat. Many of you will know Dom and his signature moustache from the hit TV show Glow Up, currently on Netflix, but he’s been working at MAC for 20 years now, so you can imagine how many stories he has to share. We cover Dom’s early days of working at MAC Cosmetics and he shares a wide array of life insights from how he truly embraced who he was, how he adapted after divorce and how he learned to be more selfish with his time. Of course we also talk about his new book, Glowography which is out October 24th! This is a great episode for anyone who wants to know more about working in makeup but it’s also the perfect wake-up call for anyone who needs to hear it.

Lisa Lyon is a legend in the bodybuilding industry. She won the first ever Women's World Pro Bodybuilding Championship, released her own workout book, and carried the icon Arnold Schwarzenegger on her shoulders. But Lisa Lyon was more than a bodybuilder and she definitely wasn't a 'gym bunny'. She was a dancer, actress and a performance artist intent on communicating through her body. I’d love to know if you already knew of Lisa, or if she’s inspired you in some way after listening.
