If Doechii's Paris Fashion Week looks had you obsessed, this episode is for you! I had the pleasure of talking with her makeup artist Chelsea Uchenna and hairstylist Malcolm Marquez about their collaboration with the icon in the making. Despite growing up on opposite sides of the world, both artists had innate creative sensibilities, decided early on that they would have careers in beauty, and were inspired by iconic queer and trans communities. In their respective interviews, Chelsea and Malcolm discuss how they came to be part of Doechii's team and how they help one another push their creative boundaries. They also dish on the behind-the-scenes chaos that resulted in one of the most iconic series of Paris Fashion Week looks ever. While each interview revealed unique differences in their approaches to beauty, they both underscored how important mutual respect is when visionaries collaborate. Tune in as we discuss:Chelsea's tips for creating flawless dark-skinned glamHow drag queen's beauty and stage makeup influences themThe engineering process behind Doechii's connected braids Why we need to see dark-skinned Black women pushing their creative boundaries with color and styleTheir beauty ethos of showing things that aren't meant to be seenProducts Mentioned:MakeupFresh Oil Infused TonerCharlotte Tilbury Glow TonerKiehl's Hydro-Plumping Hydrating Serum | All Day Moisturizer | Kiehl's Avocado Eye CreamDanessa Myricks Universal Blurring Balm | Water Powder SerumFenty Lip BalmLancome Teint Idole FoundationPat McGrath ConcealerHairghd Unplugged Flat IronNeat Crowns Braided WigsRate, Subscribe & Review the Podcast on Apple Thanks for all the love and support.

Hi beauties! It feels so good to be back from maternity leave. So much has changed since our last episode of 2024 – my daughter Jade has made her arrival and we're all adjusting to being a family of four. When I went on maternity leave, I chose to take a 6-week break from social media so I could really soak in this chapter in our family's life. I learned so much in my time away from social media, and I wanted to kick off the first episode of 2025 on the six biggest benefits I experienced from being offline. After a career spent on the internet, it was amazing to see what being offline did to my sense of creativity, my ability to engage with more long-form media, and my relationship to time. I'm excited to be back on Instagram and TikTok with some new limits, but most of all I'm excited to be back behind the mic.Support Austin and John, who lost their home in the LA fires Shop my recommendations from this episode Find Naked Beauty at Credo Rate, Subscribe & Review the Podcast on Apple Thanks for all the love and support.

Exploring beyond the limits of topical beauty treatments, and into the world of cosmetic technology can often feel daunting, or even deceptive in today's social media landscape. So, I wanted to use this episode to break through the clutter and take you all on an audio tour of an increasingly popular treatment: PRFM or PRP. For those who may not be familiar, PRFM stands for Platelet -Rich Fibrin Matrix. It, along with PRP (Platlet-Rich Plasma) - referenced by Dr. Nanaa Boakye - have been making headlines for its ability to naturally regenerate collagen and thicken skin using one's own blood. Having been most curious about using PRP to treat dark under eye circles, I headed over to THE Vanessa Lee at The Things We Do for a high quality and educational experience. Tune in to hear more about PRFM and PRP, and what to consider before your next big beauty treatment.
