Episode Recap
Westman Atelier founder and makeup artist Gucci Westman shares top makeup tips for any age, iconic Vogue moments, and how she built her cult-favorite Sephora brand.
Listen in as we take a trip down memory lane in the iconic makeup artist’s illustrious career, from growing up on an ashram – where makeup was off-limits – to the fateful special FX makeup test for Annie Leibovitz that opened up the world of fashion, to her years working as artistic director at Lancôme and Revlon—and the sage advice from Bobbi Brown that Gucci heeded before launching her own makeup brand.
In this episode you’ll discover:
Celebrity makeup stories: Cameron Diaz in Being John Malkovich, Taylor Swift’s red lip on her Allure cover, and the Jennifer Aniston Vogue cover that they rescheduled just for Gucci
The next Holy Grail foundation? Westman Atelier Suprême Bio-Complex Liquid Foundation review and what makes it so #damngood. (Plus, why she scrapped the first formula)
How to find your foundation shade, the best place to swatch for the perfect match and how to get Gucci’s signature “lit from within” skin
Makeup mistakes that can age you, Gucci’s budget beauty favorites, and her best makeup tips for over 40
Plus, is a Westman Atelier fragrance in the near future??
