My Biggest Fear as a Makeup Artist Finally Came True

Описание: In this episode of the Friends in Beauty Podcast, I am sharing a very real behind-the-scenes look at what has been going on in my world. I talk about an exciting opportunity from Pat McGrath Labs, unbox some surprise PR, and open up about a moment that every traveling makeup artist dreads.

I start by sharing details about a casting call to join Team Pat McGrath and what makeup artists need to know if they want to apply. If working backstage and becoming part of a legendary beauty brand has ever been a dream of yours, this is something you do not want to miss.

I also open PR packages from eSum and First Aid Beauty, share my honest reactions, and talk about why skincare is becoming more important to me as I head into 2026.

Then I tell the story of how my biggest fear as a traveling makeup artist finally happened when my car broke down on the way to a client appointment. I share how it felt, how I handled it, and the lesson it reminded me of about grace, preparation, and having understanding clients.

This episode is real, reflective, and full of reminders that even when things do not go as planned, you can still find gratitude, perspective, and growth in the moment.
