Episode Notes

We all know the struggles of finding the perfect shade of makeup. The beauty industry in the United States is tailored to people who don't quite look like us. So, in a culture that doesn't know how to help us figure out our own style, how do we know ourselves? For this very reason, we see more people of color coming up as style & beauty bloggers. Our guest on this episode, Deepica Mutyala, broke into the industry with a viral video on how to mask under eye circles with red lipstick. Since then she has quit her steady job & jumped head first into following her dreams.
