If your lips are feeling a little unloved as the cooler weather sets in, you're not alone. This week, Kelly is joined by Amy Clark (filling in for Leigh), and let’s just say they are both having a major lip product moment. They're breaking down the ultimate winter lip combo, including the $38 Mecca find that acts like the "Faber-Castell of lip stains" and the $15 nourishing balm that lets you choose between a "milkshake" or a "thick shake" finish. Plus, Amy shares the $6 Kmart blush she immediately drove to buy after seeing it on Instagram, a pricey-but-worth-it at-home keratin treatment that claims to banish frizz for three months, and Kelly reveals the groundbreaking, contraband-photo-worthy $160 serum that literally had her flying all the way to Paris and London to investigate.

Zwischen Social Media, Mutterschaft, Kunst und Modeljob entstehen oft widersprüchliche Erwartungen: nach außen funktionieren, gleichzeitig authentisch bleiben und dabei den eigenen Ansprüchen gerecht werden. Der Druck, ständig sichtbar zu sein, kann schnell dazu führen, dass man sich selbst aus dem Blick verliert. In dieser Folge von BUNTE VIP GLOSS spricht Künstlerin, Model und Content-Creatorin Vivian Bénard darüber, wie sie versucht, Balance zwischen Öffentlichkeit und Privatleben zu finden. Sie erzählt, warum sie ihre Kinder bewusst aus der Öffentlichkeit heraushält, wie Social Media das Selbstbild beeinflusst und weshalb sie sich trotz Schönheitsdruck bewusst für Natürlichkeit entscheidet. Außerdem geht es um den Verlust ihrer Mutter, Kunst als Form der Verarbeitung, mentale Gesundheit, Me-Time und kleine Routinen, die ihr helfen, wieder bei sich selbst anzukommen.

Social Media, Erfolg und ständige Sichtbarkeit können inspirieren – aber auch Druck erzeugen. Zwischen Millionen-Reichweite, Beauty-Standards und öffentlicher Aufmerksamkeit wird es immer wichtiger, sich selbst nicht zu verlieren und innere Balance zu finden. In dieser Folge von BUNTE VIP GLOSS spricht Content Creatorin und Unternehmerin Millane offen über ihren Weg von den ersten Beauty-Videos im Kinderzimmer zur erfolgreichen Unternehmerin mit Millionen-Community. Sie erzählt, wie sie mit öffentlichem Druck, negativen Kommentaren und mentalen Herausforderungen umgeht, warum ihr Glaube und ihre Familie ihr Halt geben und weshalb bewusste Auszeiten entscheidend für ihre mentale Gesundheit waren. Außerdem spricht sie über Liebe, Ehe, Selbstbewusstsein, Beauty-Routinen und darüber, warum Authentizität wichtiger ist als Perfektion.

On today’s episode of Spendy Savey, Kelly and Leigh share their best skincare, makeup, hair, and body recommendations, including the $10 "kiddie" detangler Leigh’s hairdresser swears by, the "700 billion" star-rated eye cream Kelly found on Amazon, and a new Aussie-made "everything" spray that might just be the cleverest product we've seen all year. Kelly takes us through her very professional "investigative" technique for finding new products (it involves being nosey with makeup artists) and why she’s currently obsessed with a brand new hair range that smells like childhood cereal. And alongside the $43 barrier-supporting serum Leigh is using to save her "angry" skin, we’re shopping our stashes for a $30 Revlon palette that Kelly may or may not have owned for 14 years.

In this episode of the Friends in Beauty Podcast, I'm having a very honest conversation about burnout and why I've made the difficult decision to step away and take a break.Over the last several months, life has truly been lifing, and I've been feeling something that many creatives and entrepreneurs experience but don't always talk about openly — burnout. After attending a powerful mental health event hosted by Our Collective Trauma and Healing (OCTA), I heard a perspective that gave me so much clarity around what I've been experiencing.One of the questions asked during the panel was: How do you know the difference between burnout and just being lazy?That moment gave me the confirmation I needed to be honest with myself about where I am right now.For almost six years, I've shown up every single week with a new episode of the Friends in Beauty Podcast. While consistency is something I'm incredibly proud of, I realized that in the process of consistently showing up for everyone else, I've been consistently neglecting myself.In this episode, I share what burnout has looked like for me, the emotional weight that comes with constantly pouring into others, and why I've decided to pause the podcast for a while so I can refill my cup, reconnect with my passions, and give myself the space I truly need.

In this episode of the Friends in Beauty Podcast, I'm so excited to sit down with Laverne Amara, founder of NVLX Labs, an eco-lux clean haircare brand created specifically for the loc community.Laverne is a certified loctician and trichology analyst whose work focuses on scalp health, buildup prevention, and education in the natural hair space. In our conversation, she shares how her journey evolved from providing services behind the chair to launching her own product line, and what it really takes to bring a beauty brand to life from scratch.We talk about the realities of product formulation, why her shampoo took about a year to perfect, and the science behind creating formulas specifically for locs versus loose natural hair. Laverne also opens up about entrepreneurship later in life, balancing multiple identities, and why slow, sustainable growth matters more than chasing viral moments.She also shares her experience serving in the military for over two decades, how hair regulations have evolved over the years, and why representation, inclusion, and education are so important in both beauty and professional spaces.If you're building a brand, thinking about launching products, or simply want real insight into what it takes to grow something meaningful from the ground up, this episode is for you.

On this week's episode of the Friends in Beauty Podcast, I'm diving into the new Reality Check documentary and unpacking everything it brought up for me about America's Next Top Model. As someone who grew up watching the show, I'm reflecting on how it shaped our understanding of beauty, success, and even humiliation in the name of entertainment.I talk about the outrageous photo shoots, the behind-the-scenes dynamics, Tyra's leadership at just 30 years old, and how much of it reflects the era we were in. More importantly, I explore what accountability looks like now and how far the beauty industry has evolved since the early 2000s.

In this special birthday episode of the Friends in Beauty Podcast, I'm taking a moment to slow down, reflect, and share a birthday pep talk straight from the heart.I talk about how my relationship with birthdays has changed over the years and why I now find more joy in simplicity than big celebrations.

This episode is about persistence, self-reflection, and honoring your path—even when it doesn't look like what you imagined.If you're navigating a tender season, celebrating a milestone, or simply need a reminder that you're not alone, this episode is for you.✨BIRTHDAY DONATIONS✨:CashApp: AkuaRobinsonZelle: akua@akuarobinson.com✨ READY FOR PERSONALIZED SUPPORT?

In this episode of the Friends in Beauty Podcast, I'm breaking down a realistic and strategic way beauty pros can potentially get into Ulta Beauty World without purchasing a ticket.After the chaos surrounding Ulta Beauty World ticket sales, I wanted to share another perspective and an alternative path that many people may not be thinking about. While this is not guaranteed, I walk you through what I would personally do if I wanted to get in the building and make the most of the opportunity.I share how volunteering with beauty brands has played a huge role in my career, from working with brands like Danessa Myricks and AJ Crimson to building long-term relationships that still benefit me today. I explain how offering value, supporting brands on-site, and showing up professionally can open doors that simply buying a ticket never could.In this episode, I break down how to identify the right brands, how to pitch yourself confidently, what roles you can offer, and how to follow up in a way that builds real relationships. If you are a makeup artist, beauty professional, or aspiring industry creative who wants access, experience, and connections, this episode is for you.If you missed out on Ulta Beauty World tickets or you are looking for smarter ways to grow in the beauty industry, this conversation will shift how you think about access and opportunity.
In this episode of the Friends in Beauty Podcast, I'm taking you down memory lane as I reflect on where I was in 2016 and how saying yes, staying consistent, and not quitting changed everything.With a viral social media trend reminding us that 2016 was ten years ago, I found myself stopping in my tracks and thinking about the version of me who was only three years into my makeup artistry journey. I share some of the defining moments from that year, including my first time being flown out for a job, working on a theatrical production in San Francisco, doing makeup backstage for major performances, and saying yes to opportunities that stretched me creatively and professionally.I walk you through what it was like navigating self doubt, learning on the job, and building confidence in real time. From working the Mighty Real: A Fabulous Sylvester Musical, to doing makeup for the Bad Boy Reunion concert, to assisting and learning from industry greats, this episode is a reminder that growth often happens before you feel ready.I also reflect on the power of community, mentorship, and relationships, and how staying connected and open to opportunity shaped my path. If you've ever questioned your timing, your progress, or whether it's worth continuing when things feel uncertain, this episode is for you.If you're in a season where you're still figuring it out, let this conversation remind you that your journey is unfolding exactly as it should.
In this episode of the Friends in Beauty Podcast, I am diving into one of the biggest beauty industry conversations happening right now and what it really means for makeup artists, beauty pros, and brand owners like us.With the recent news of Pat McGrath Labs putting its assets up for sale, I felt called to come talk to my Friends in Beauty about virality, velocity, and whether every viral moment truly needs to be monetized. I break down the viral glass skin runway moment that took over the internet, what happened behind the scenes, and why having attention without systems in place can create more pressure than progress.I walk you through the difference between going viral and being ready for growth, how infrastructure, offers, and inventory impact sustainability, and why it is unrealistic to expect artists to always be prepared for massive viral moments. I also share my personal thoughts about passion, creativity, and whether every beautiful thing we create needs to turn into a product.If you have ever wondered what would really happen if your content blew up tomorrow, this episode will help you think differently about growth, preparation, and long-term success in the beauty industry.
In this episode of the Friends in Beauty Podcast, I am sharing the simple but powerful decision that completely changed the type of clients I attract and the way I experience my beauty business.As I kick off the first episode of 2026, I reflect on what truly shifted my career. It was not more content, more hustle, or more trends. It was the decision to stop talking to everyone and get clear on who I actually wanted to serve. Once I made that choice, everything began to change. My positioning became clearer, my boundaries became stronger, and the clients who came into my world were aligned, respectful, and willing to pay my rates.In this episode, I walk you through why clarity creates confidence, how positioning affects your pricing, and why defining your ideal client helps you attract high paying and high quality clients. I also share how content, language, and visibility naturally fall into place once you are clear on who you are speaking to.If you have been feeling scattered, underpaid, or unsure about your next move, this episode will help you step into 2026 with focus, confidence, and intention.

What will 2026 mean for the beauty and wellness industries? In today's special episode, hosts Lexy Lebsack, Emily Jensen and Sara Spruch-Feiner share their 2026 industry predictions. This includes a slowdown of the "no-makeup makeup" aesthetic in favor of bolder color cosmetics trends, the rise of experimental peptide therapy among wellness consumers and an uptick in budget-conscious beauty shoppers. The hosts also made specific predictions, such as an increase in savory scents in fragrance and more clean, value-priced body care in big-box stores. The trio also muses about the bubbles that could burst in 2026, and so much more.
In this episode of the Friends in Beauty Podcast, I am taking you with me into a heartfelt year in review as we close out 2025 and prepare to step into 2026. I reflect on the wins, the lessons, and the beautiful moments that shaped my journey this year, both personally and professionally.I walk you through the milestones that meant the most to me, from returning to teaching at Bennett Career Institute, to speaking in powerful beauty communities, to being invited to panels, summits, and brand experiences that once felt far beyond my reach. I share what it felt like to see long planted seeds begin to grow and how consistency, faith, and community played a huge role in everything that unfolded.I also open up about moments of rest, burnout, and recalibration, and why listening to your energy matters just as much as staying consistent. This conversation is a reminder that progress is not always loud, but it is always meaningful.If you are heading into a new year feeling unsure, hopeful, or somewhere in between, this episode will remind you that your efforts matter, your timing is not behind, and your growth is unfolding exactly as it should.

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.

She also notes that, in skin care, clinical, results-driven products are igniting consumer interest.

In this fun and festive episode of the Friends in Beauty Podcast, I'm sharing my favorite things of 2025—just in time for the holiday season.If you're a last-minute shopper (no judgment
On this special milestone episode of the Friends in Beauty Podcast, we're celebrating 300 episodes with something brand new — the Friends in Beauty Awards!
In this episode of the Friends in Beauty Podcast, I am sharing something super practical that every makeup artist needs, whether you are brand new or have been in the game for years. We always talk about makeup products, but today I am breaking down the 10 non-makeup essentials that I cannot function without in my kit. These are the things that keep me organized, professional, and ready for any client.This idea came to me during the holiday sales rush, when my inbox was full of Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals. I realized that so many MUAs focus on buying new makeup, but forget the small essentials that actually make the job easier, cleaner, and more efficient. As I went through my kit, I found myself wanting to do a part two because there are so many overlooked essentials that truly make a difference.I walk you through everything I personally use on set, from how I store my pencils and foundations to the tools I use to maintain sanitation and keep clients comfortable. I share my eSum bag setup, my beloved Niji Roll, my favorite affordable sponges, the best types of Q-tips, my must-have Vueset palettes, disposable razors, handheld fans, sample containers, towels, alcohol sprays, and my all-time favorite tool that always gets compliments: the Twissors.If you are building your kit, revamping it, or just want to level up your professionalism, this episode will give you real, helpful tools you can start using immediately.Enjoy this episode!Leave us a 5 star review and share this episode with a friend or 2 or 3.info@friendsinbeauty.comSHOP THE ITEMS MENTIONED:https://www.shopltk.com/explore/Friends_in_Beauty/-ESUM Kit - insert photo - https://www.esumcosmetics.com/esum-pro-makeup-kit-bag/-Niji Roll - insert photo - https://www.amazon.com/Yasutomo-Niji-Roll-Multi-purpose-Pouch/dp/B0027A5A9M/ref=sr_1_1?crid=R29B73XVT7KW&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.X1afctBJVU-mcKG1VAQp6PIzFOsN9nrE6nU4KDLQmNQLvTfTcYVrxDJAdsrCkoLoLxx9sjG_IvaJfnT7U9af7Q.UJ9pQrvTwFAg81SnQmZ-LrPCZ1QCmIOKhHK1Dp5xRng&dib_tag=se&keywords=niji+roll&qid=1764625087&sprefix=niji+roll%2Caps%2C215&sr=8-1-Twizzors - https://alconemakeup.com/products/alcone-company-twissor-toolsrsltid=AfmBOop2zsNItGQF6rTg5_5GcXEGrV7BgPO9xTrsoUtuT5umSwwxL-Rh&variant=41624538611909GET A PEEK INSIDE OF BEAUTYPRO FUNNELS HEREhttps://www.getbeautyprofunnels.com/friendsSHOP MENTED COSMETICS: https://www.mentedcosmetics.com/akua-robinson
On this week's episode of the Friends in Beauty Podcast, I am finally telling the story that I teased all the way back in Episode 293. This is the story of the worst podcast guest experience I have ever had and the moment I learned that not every industry legend deserves the pedestal we place them on.I share how a celebrity makeup artist, someone with multiple Emmys and decades in the industry, went from being one of my dream guests to sending her lawyer after me over an episode she agreed to record. From rescheduling, drinking wine before the interview, panicking about how she looked, and blaming me for things that never even happened, this situation turned into a full-blown Thanksgiving mess that I will never forget.I'm giving you the tea on the entire experience from start to finish, including the DMs, the texts, the frantic demands to delete the episode, the moment her lawyer contacted me, and how I chose to protect my peace, my platform, and my boundaries.This story is not about dragging anyone. It is about learning to stand up for yourself, trusting your instincts, protecting your work, and understanding that even the biggest names in the beauty industry can disappoint you.If you have ever dealt with unprofessional clients, rude collaborators, or people who think their status gives them the right to disrespect you, this story time will make you feel seen, validated, and empowered.Check out this episode now and share with another #friendinbeauty!
