This sampled episode meets present day! While I recently attended CES 2025 and ended up wearing loads of makeup because of my presence on the stage, it reminded me of how powerful the makeup industry is ... clocking in at about 617 billion dollars recently. Listen to this episode with Alexandra Butler as she shares her experiences and even dives into the world of reinvention with a new look! Even if you haven't actually put on makeup in a while, (or you never do) knowing how to do it right is really helpful. And, what better time to learn something new than when you have a bit more time to actually learn it. Also, having some key go-to makeup techniques under your belt  can help you completely reinvent yourself. If you know that in your very near future, you'd like to start something new, embrace a new career or just switch it up, a few new makeup tricks can help you get there and show up confidently. What an awesome opportunity to have a transparent, open and fun discussion with Alexandra Butler about how she started, some career mistakes that she made and her expert tips on Using Makeup To Reinvent Yourself. After several jobs, several career restarts (firings), she landed in her most ideal place, a professional makeup artist at Alexandra Butler Makeup Artistry. Let's get started and Get Visible!

A new year means new plans! Perhaps your plans this year are to attend more conferences and trainings, and leverage professional development opportunities.
