Ep. 294: ‘It’s cringe until it’s cute!’ Talking glam squads and the myth of the overnight success with makeup artist and creator Lila Childs
Description
This week my guest is New York-based makeup artist and content creator Lila Childs. I’ve been following Lila for a few months because she really stands out for having this amazing ability to recreate some of the most beautiful makeup looks while also making her followers feel like they can do it too.
In this episode we discuss celebrity glam squads and why it’s time the media caught up with the importance of the teams involved behind the scenes, especially when it comes to those iconic red carpet beauty moments, because it’s not just about fashion.
Lila also shares on how it felt to become one of Pat McGrath’s porcelain dolls when the makeup icon released Skin Fetish Glass 001 Artistry Mask recently. I loved listening to her share on how it felt to meet Queen Pat and she also gives us the breakdown on how to use the mask – although last time I checked it was still sold out online.
Let me know if you know Lila’s work already – you can send me a DM on Instagram or chat with me on Threads @charisse_kenion and if you’re listening on Spotify you can tell me your thoughts direct as we can now chat to each other over there!
If you’re listening elsewhere please leave a rating or review for the show and remember there’s also a newsletter that’s free to read at beautymenotes.substack.com and I’m also over on YouTube too now.
