Whether you're just starting out or have been in the industry for a long time, tune in now, check out the key takeaways and subscribe for future podcasts below. KEY TAKEAWAYS: SET YOURSELF A GOAL Whether you're working to pay bills, unleashing your creativity or aiming to be top dog - it's important to set yourself a goal. Nigel believes that if you manifest things, life will take you there. Sure there's bound to be a few u-turns and bends in the road - but you will eventually get to your destination. Not sure where to start? For Nigel, it was the fear of failure that always pushed him to have a plan, show up, be present and be the absolute best that he could be. Start by writing out your goals for the next week, month or year ahead - and see where it takes you.   LOVE WHAT YOU DO Artists love to be inspired by the world around them. Nigel is passionate about his work and enthuses that, ‘makeup should make you feel something, it should give you emotional energy - like you've been dancing for hours'. Our industry is tough, you need passion, skill and a whole lot of tenacity and grit to make it. Nigel (aka Mr Maybelline) always dons a big smile and love of learning. Inspired by boots he saw in Rome or flicking through instagram, Nigel's life goal is to teach kids who want to do makeup to know that it's a beauty blender. Whatever you're feeling - angry, sad, scared, hungry, excited - just paint it out. Use your passion, use your emotion to give your work substance and you'll always love what you do.   “When people say, ‘oh, the glam is here' to me, it's not really like that. It's deeper, more personal... It's business for me, it's my career, it's my identity - it is so much more than just magnetic lashes or painting someone..” Nigel Stanislaus GIVING BACK (TO ARTISTS) Taking kids off the street as his assistant, Nigel boasts that the hard work and commitment from those who assisted him out of High School, are the ones to watch out for in the industry today. These kids are now directors, artists in demand, entrepreneurs of up and coming brands… Giving back to the community and having young artists coming up the ranks around you is so important. As a senior artist you can influence a lot of change. Having an assistant is really critical for your workload, but the role is also an important mentorship, showing them how to develop hair and makeup skills, as well as an understanding of the industry. Nigel confides that although he may not be the kindest mentor (in fact, many would argue he is quite militant), he is serious about his craft and had to fight to get where he is today. “I'm not your therapist and I'm not going to be your BFF. I'm here to work, you're here to work - let's get it sorted. You need to have thick skin and a good attitude. Don't even think about talking back to me with a potato cake in your hand, I will break you with my Tony Bianco heel!” Nigel Stanislaus   Join TMI Email List  Follow TMI on IG  Follow Vanessa on IG Podcast Cheat Sheets  Assisting Sign Up

We're back, baby. Delusionally tired from a week of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia, and ready to rag on the new season of 'Game of Thrones'. This week, what it feels like when street style photographers refuse to photograph you, how 'GoT' lost its way in season eight, what the third SATC movie should've covered, baby Archie's name, and a rogue conversation about Amy Schumer. Why did we start hating her all of a sudden?

Pivotal moments occur in our lives. Our decisions in those moments are what make us who we are. It's always tempting to take the route with a clear paved path, however, what does it look like to take a 'leap of faith' in yourself? Is the fear of the unknown discouraging enough to take the risk? Or can the potential for success be enough of a motivator to take that metaphorical leap? In this episode, our very own Inder Dhillon is put in the hot seat regarding her life decisions and choices. Having just shown a recent collection at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia for her co-founded label twosix., Ishprit puts her on the spot to talk through her unconventional journey in life. When did Inder decide to switch from a successful career in finance to fashion? And how has the tumultuous journey paid off along the way? Tune in to hear all the details.
