I took a month off and now I'm back with an amazing guest! Gabrielle Alvarez is one of the most inspiring makeup artists I know. Her work is instantly recognisable for her sheer love of colour and a passion for working with all skin tones. Gabi was my guest back in May 2021, so, as you can imagine, we had a lot to catch up on. In this episode Gabi and I discuss labels and trends – we touch on the whole Youthforia black pigment in a bottle controversy and she's also the first person to record my new segment: The Final Five. The Final Five is where I hand over the show to my guest as their opportunity to talk about anything they want, anything that's important to them or something that's on their mind. Gabi's chosen subject was AI in the beauty industry. Also, full disclosure, someone, meaning me, forgot to press record on both of my recording devices, so while Gabi sounds crystal clear you will notice I'm not as clear. So I do apologise for that. Be sure to go follow Gabi on Instagram @thegabriellealvarez and head to my insta to see some video clips of our conversation @beautymepodcast or over on TikTok @charissekenion. In the meantime, make sure to follow the show wherever you get your podcasts so you never miss another episode!

“I can't believe they said that” Instagram posts, marketing campaigns that pissed of A LOT of people, BS apologies, and more—that's what we're chatting about in today's episode of Unfiltered. In this super open convo about some recent marketing mishaps we've witnessed from brands like Copyhackers, Bumble, Youthforia, and more, we're discussing what these missteps show us consumers are fed up with, the best ways to handle public apologies, and some things we consider… pretty dang unforgivable. Grab a glass of milk because this one's extra spicy. Highlights: 3:00—17:19: The Copyhackers post that enraged the internet (and the surprisingly unpleasant way that Copyhackers handled all the angry IG comments) 17:19—35:50: What Bumble did right and what Bumble didn't get so right in their latest marketing campaign that also enraged the internet 35:50—45:20: The beauty company that had all of TikTok talking (and not in a good way) because of one product they recently put out 45:20—50:00: The importance of being honest when marketing products and a very popular beverage biz that recently found itself in hot water for not being so honest 50:00—59:39: Why Kelloggs' recent ad was giving off “let them eat cereal” vibes and what we can learn about the balance between hopping on current issues vs. being insensitive to people's current struggles We'd love to connect with you!

Johnny and Kevin discuss the announcement of "Fenty Hair" and how it may be a sign that Fenty Beauty is in trouble. Is it Rihanna's high-quality passion project or just a way to help her struggling Fenty Beauty? They also react to Youthforia's horrifically ingenue response to the shade 600 controversy and reveal the return of MAC's iconic lipstick shade "Freshpot!" Plus, Johnny talks about his horrible experience having the Norovirus, seeing Julia Louis Dreyfus live in NYC, Julia's new A24 film "Tuesday" and his idea for a dream TV Show!

The brand keeps fumbling when it comes to inclusive shades and the entire beauty community has been waiting for an apology over its 'black pigment in a bottle' foundation for over a month.

In this episode, we delved into the Youthforia scandal, where the makeup company faced backlash for releasing what many dubbed "tar in a bottle" — a foundation shade lacking in diversity and representation. Throughout the discussion, we explored the systemic issues underlying Youthforia's misstep and the historical context of shade inclusivity. Nike talks about the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) strategies for brands, emphasizing the need for community engagement, diverse representation, and transparency.We also examined the impact of the scandal on the beauty landscape and discussed actionable steps for listeners to advocate for inclusivity and hold brands accountable. From supporting inclusive brands to amplifying marginalized voices, we highlighted the power of consumer activism in driving meaningful change.Tune in for more insights, updates, and discussions on all things beauty in future episodes.Leave a rating and review for the podcast!https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/catalyst/id1555386162 Follow me on IG at https://www.instagram.com/nikeaurea/?hl=en Book A Strategy Call To Start Building out Sustainable & Inclusive Systems: https://www.nikeaurea.com/servicesCheck Out ALL of my links: https://www.nikeaurea.com/linksWant me as a guest on your podcast or to book me as a guest speaker?

Big up - goes to classic hip-hop dance moves. An Alabama woman by the name of Shariah Taylor credits Lil' Kim's dance moves from Mob Deep's 1999 Quiet Storm Remix music video for saving her life during a shooting. Let down - goes to a clueless cosmetics company. A popular beauty content creator by the name of Golloria George called out Youthforia, accusing the makeup brand of creating a foundation resembling blackface paint.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This Week in Beauty episode is dedicated to the uproar around beauty brand Youthforia and its less than inclusive Date Night Skin Tint Serum Foundation. In this episode I share a little backstory on former guest and founder of Youthforia, Fiona Co Chan; discuss the criticism of the lack of inclusive shades which saw them literally putting black pigment in a bottle and calling it a foundation; and I chat with Cosmetic Scientist and founder of cult brand MDMflow, Florence Adepoju. I'd love to know what you think - are you a fan of the brand? Does this disappoint you? Or are they already cancelled in your book?

Maybe you had a solid three-step skincare regimen as a kid. If you were like us, you were also probably obsessed with beauty in general. But our teenage selves don't hold a candle to current tween regimens. In today's episode, we share a story from Look, Air Mail's beauty and wellness publication, that details the rather involved (and frankly insane) regimens of several 10 to 15-year-olds, which include everything from Drunk Elephant minis to MZ Skin's $145 eye cream and share our learnings from the tweens in our lives. Then we break down why people are so unhappy with Youthforia's latest launch, a made-to-sleep-in foundation that missed the mark on the shade range.

Youthforia was launched by Fiona Co Chan in 2021. The idea for Youthforia came about right when COVID hit. Perhaps it was the inability to go out and see people, but Fiona kept coming back to this idea that the best part of wearing makeup is going out with your friends and sometimes that means forgetting to take your makeup off. She really wanted makeup that was good for your skin, so good you could sleep in it. During the development of Youthforia, Fiona slept in all of the lab samples (and recruited her husband to sleep in them too) and woke up with much better skin. It completely changed her beauty routine philosophy - makeup is an extension of skincare. And sleeping in lab samples is a huge part of the Youthforia testing process. Above all, we love caring for your skin - we truly believe that makeup should be good for your skin. She's also passionate about Green Chemistry and not using fossil fuels and it's a big pillar of the Youthforia formulation philosophy, because most makeup contains liquid microplastic and she just didn't want to do that. Fiona was recognized by Byrdie Eco Awards as a Eco Beauty Hero and a Disruptor. She likes making beautiful makeup that has a unique spin on existing categories while being friendly to the planet and being good for skin. Basically, the entire Youthforia brand is just a collection of things she finds interesting to work on and is all about inspiring fun and being with your friends. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/skincareanarchy/message

This episode is brought to you by Sendlane. Don't sleep with your makeup on. That's what you've been told. They say it will irritate your skin but if that's the case, why wear it at all? It took a brand named Youthforia to manufacture makeup so good for your skin that you can sleep with it on. Fiona Chan, the founder of Youthforia, says she had sensitive skin growing up, and it was difficult to find makeup that didn't cause allergic reactions. Part of the problem was that she was sleeping in her makeup - something that's generally discouraged by skincare manufacturers. "I just couldn't understand why we just kind of accept that as consumers," Fiona says. "I want makeup where if I wear it at any time of the day, I don't have to worry." Part of the solution was creating products with better ingredients, she says. It turns out a lot of skin products are made of fossil fuels, while other products contain more plastic than the actual containers, she says. "I kind of decided to reformulate everything that we had already developed to create things that are bio-based," Fiona says. "That was incredibly challenging because no one had been doing it. That skillset didn't exist." The mission became to find a formulator who understood her vision. "For me, it was just finding the right people that understood what I was trying to accomplish. People who believed it could be done and that we could make these skincare make-up hybrids and for me, putting my skin out there and testing it in a very rigorous way," she says. Fiona didn't have a background in the skincare marketplace - she worked in enterprise software. But her career took her to some of the most polluted cities in the world - places where her makeup at the time wouldn't offer any protection. Though the experience helped bring her vision for a new kind of skincare info focus, she also had to deal with skeptics who couldn't comprehend the shift in her career path. "When you're deciding to become an entrepreneur, I think you'll always get that feedback," she says. "When people tell you that feedback, I'm sure it comes from a good place. They just want you not to fail or to do well. But I just didn't listen to any of it." In Part 1, Fiona talks about: * Gratitude to her husband for his support and help as the brand was born - even trying on the products as he slept. * How her sensitive skin sparked the idea for a sleep-friendly product line. * Why bio-based products are better than petrol-based products. * The challenge to find a formulator who understood her vision and requirements. * How her previous career created a path into the skincare marketplace. * Dealing with skeptics.

This episode is brought to you by Sendlane. The journey of an entrepreneur should be personal and unique to the person with the vision, says Fiona Chan, founder of Youthforia, a brand that creates makeup products that are so good for your skin that you can sleep in it. "When I look back to even the last 15 years of my life, I've never actually followed the path that I thought I was supposed to follow," Fiona says. "And that's always done well for me. So I always tell people to remember that their experiences are unique, and that's a strength, and no one can ever take that away from you." One of Fiona and Youthforia's early challenges was the lack of a marketing plan. "I think in the early days, the challenge is always brand awareness," she says. "It's very interesting spending a whole year in silence, just working on the brand. You launch it, and you're like, wow, nobody knows about it." Organic social media turned out to be the brand's early plan - along with finding out how to create ads and content on Facebook and TikTok. "I was definitely not a content creator," she says. "I was not ready for any of it. But now it's a bigger part of my day, something that I just do regularly and enjoy." Customer feedback has been quite positive - particularly from those who struggled with other makeup brands. "I have some customers telling me that it has completely just fixed their skin, which is incredible feedback," she says. "This is always something I've wanted to do, just like the idea that makeup can improve your skin." Ultimately, it all comes down to the brand's tagline: "Life's messy, but your makeup isn't." In Part 2, Fiona talks about: * How confidence in her vision guided her journey. * What it was like launching with no marketing plan. * How she grew to become a social media content producer. * The value of educational content. * Feedback from customers. * A rundown of the brand's hero products. * A look at the ingredients involved. * The brand's ambassador program. * Where you can find the brand's products.

This week it's a new Meet the Founder episode, and if you don't already know, Meet the Founder always takes place first on Instagram Live. As such you will discover that the editing is minimal, but my guest's advice makes it all worth it. April 2021 wouldn't be the most obvious time to start a new beauty business, but for San Francisco born and bred Fiona Co Chan, it made total sense. With a background in tech, Fiona decided that she would use social media, particularly TikTok, to promote Youthforia, a brand that has become known as fun, colourful and innovative. And TikTok is the place that really got the beauty industry fired up about her hero product, BYO Blush Colour Changing Blush Oil, a blush that changes colour based on your individual skin pH. In this episode Fiona shares how she started out by doing everything herself, from looking at formulas and design to creating content, something she'd never done before. She also opens up about the challenges that came with building a brand and shares that the entire experience has been a real test of her resilience and has taught her about her own mental health journey.

In this interview, Fiona outlines her unconventional TikTok and Amazon one two punch distribution strategy, as well detailing her role as both leader, and creator for almost all of Youthforia's social media video content. You'll hear: Why organic fully drives the bus for Youthforia and how TikTok ads negatively impacted their organic scale Why you need to optimize your organic content as well as your ad content How Youthforia has kept their team teeny tiny, while scaling in their first two years Why Fiona's first ever new product launch might just change the game for women, and men (myself included) Subscribe to DTC Newsletter - https://dtcnews.link/signup Advertise on DTC - https://dtcnews.link/advertise Work with Pilothouse - https://dtcnews.link/pilothouse Follow us on Instagram & Twitter - @dtcnewsletter Watch this interview on YouTube - https://dtcnews.link/video
Youthforia is universal. It's the moments of utter bliss you get when you're young. Your first lip gloss. The cute text and the screenshot sent straight to the group chat. The waiting, the rush. Crushes, summer break, long chats that last till 3 a.m. Youthforia was founded by Fiona Co Chan in 2020 right when COVID hit. She kept coming back to this idea that the best part of wearing makeup is going out with your friends and sometimes that means forgetting to take your makeup off. Join us as we chat about building a GREEN company testing products herself and how Youthforia is designed to help your skin! https://instagram.com/getyouthforia https://www.instagram.com/thelifeofamakeupartist/ https://www.instagram.com/jaleesajaikaran/
Hey everyone! Doone here. Your host and hype girl. Today on the show we're learning from Fiona Chan, the founder behind a brand called Youthforia. While they've only launched just last year they've managed to build some crazy buzz in the beauty industry garnering more than 50m views on tiktok and growing! At Youthforia, they believe that makeup is an extension of your skincare. All of their products are formulated to be so good for your skin, you can sleep in it. Fiona actually tests all of their products by sleeping in it for an extended period of time. And so does her husband. Most conventional makeup brands formulate with fossil fuels and liquid plastics, which can be harmful or irritating for the skin. Instead, Youthforia use skin friendly plant based ingredients to provide luxurious textures and targeted treatments for your skin. Heaven, right? In this ep, we're chatting about the beauty industry as a whole and Fiona's advice for standing out in a saturated space, how she harnessed the power of tiktok to get traction and commits to creating 2 videos a day AND why you should get onto Supergreat if you're in the beauty industry. Now before we get into the episode and incase you haven't heard me talking about it yet - I have my very first book coming out at the end of February featuring the stories and learnings from 51 of these brilliant female founders from the first year of the show and I am just over the moon to be sharing this with you!

About Our Guest and Youthforia: Youthforia was founded by Fiona Co Chan in 2020 right when COVID hit. Being locked down, she kept circling this idea that the best part of wearing makeup is going out with your friends and sometimes that means forgetting to take your makeup off. She really wanted makeup that was good for your skin, so good you could sleep in it. So passionate in fact that she and her husband slept in all the formulas for 2-months to test everything ahead of launch. And though launching a makeup brand during a pandemic was never easy, her goal is to make things fun from the packaging to the formulas and every customer touchpoint in between. Youthforia is the makeup brand that you can sleep in. Home of the TikTok viral color-changing blush oil, the brand's take on green chemistry and fossil-fuel-free formulas have catapulted this 5-month old brand into a high-growth cult product - and they're only getting started. https://youthforia.co/products/byo-blush https://youthforia.co/products/dewy-gloss --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lipstickbiddies/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lipstickbiddies/support
