All right, So I'm I'm a McDonald. I'm born and
raised in Denver. I am a esthetician and a makeup
artist in Denver. I love what I do. I've been

Speaker 2 (00:41):
So good, thank you, so so good. I get my

Farah Fawcett Foundation event that we're going.
Speaker 1 (00:49):

never been to Dallas before, so it's going to be
a fun trip with you and my other clients and
going down there, it's going to be a real blast.
I'm really excited.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Watch out girl. Normally it's Denise in Denver. Now it's
gonna be Denise in Dallas. So we're gonna find out
a little bit more about you and maybe some hot
makeup trends for fall or something you could suggest for
nice skin here in dry Colorado. But first let's get
to some pop culture. I call it Denise's dirt. And
I know you love pop culture. You love reality TV.
(01:21):
Oh yeah, so this is right up your alley. It's
about Taylor Swift.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Love her? I know, well, first doesn't.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
She's the richest female in the world, crazy, richest female musician,
with a net worth of one point six billion dollars.
Rihanna is one point four billion. And I think you
know what happens is because show business. She knows the
show and she knows the business. I mean, she really
is brilliant and she works hard also just.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
As an artist, right for lyricism and everything that she
puts into her work. I know, as a woman like
we relate to that so much just because of everything
that she puts out in her artistry. But she's very talented,
well deserved.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Would that be your dream client to do makeup on?
Speaker 1 (02:05):
You know? This is I like this question because I
feel like people don't understand that there are very there's
differences between types of makeup artists. Like a lot of
makeup artists will do celebrities or just weddings or just events,
and you know, I would love to, Like, I wouldn't
say no to that because how amazing would that be?
But I love doing weddings. I love doing fashion weeks.
(02:28):
So celebrities where You're going to chair for two and
a half hours and I'm putting makeup all over your body.
I wouldn't say no to it one time, but I
definitely would not want to make that as like a
career a career.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yeah, you're more natural you make.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
I'm skincare first. Yeah, you know your makeup is only
going to look as good as your skin is.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
But think about it, Taylor Swift just drops your business card.
I mean crazy.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yeah, I'm not going to say no to that. That'd
be amazing.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
So her boyfriend Travis Kelcey is worth a reported ninety
million dollars, not too shabby himself, although since he's been
dating Taylor Swift, he's get into movies, he's getting into.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Her influence, yeah, television series.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Who knows where he may go after this a lot
of people were giving him, picking on him a little bit,
saying he's not in shape for football because he's.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
A pessional football player.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
But he had a couple bad games. Don't worry. Taylor
Swift is supposed to be at the game or recording
this on Monday, so she's supposed to be there tonight,
so we'll see what happens. Okay, great, Yeah, although he
did celebrate his birthday, and interesting enough, she wasn't there.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Maybe she was just busy. She's a businesswoman, you know. Yeah,
you have to balance life and business.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
So but reality, I don't think the Kansas City Chiefs
wives or girlfriends would have had this opportunity if it
wasn't for Taylor Swift. Bravo is working on a reality series.
It's going to focus on the wives and girlfriends of
Kansas City Chiefs players and the past few years since
they won the Super Bowl. Get this, though, Taylor Swift
is not going to be part of it, and either
(03:53):
as Britney mahomes.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Well, I feel like she doesn't need the publicity.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
I don't think she doesn't know. I mean, that would
be a huge win if Bravo got either those girls.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
But I mean that wouldn't be happening if it wasn't
for Taylor. So that's all the attention that she's brought
to football in general.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
I agree a lot of people are going, Oh, why
do they have to show her during football?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
It's for like ten seconds out of the total game.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yeah, Like relax and girl dads, Yeah, I mean, if
they're watching the football with their little girl, it's exciting.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
For her and it brings like a new fan, your
dad to the game.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
You know, trust me, the NFL's love and every minute
they're soaking it up. As you know. I just got
back from Florida, and before we went to Florida, there
was a Hurricane Helene that went through. It's so much
damage in the Carolina's North Carolina especially, But now another
hurricane's coming. It's supposed to hit tomorrow, Hurricane Milton, and
(04:42):
it's supposed to be one of the worst to ever
hit Florida. One hundred and fifty mile per hour wins.
So God bless for all of those people.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I hope everyone's safe and evacuating and taking care of
everything that they need to.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
It's scary, Oh scary, Emma, and some of the film
that I've seen on North Carolina. It's sad of the before. Yes, yeah,
complete towns washed away.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
The whole structure of land has changed now.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
And I've heard, and who knows if this is true
or not, but a lot of the homeowners their home
didn't survive, but their land is still there, so they
want to rebuild. They're allegedly being told they can't rebuild.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Well, I feel like it would be unstable depending on
where it is, you know, with how much the mud
slide and the water and all of that.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Your entire life for that land.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
It's heartbreaking.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
You know, you have to get a fair penny out
of it if you are going to sell it to
the government. Otherwise it is it's horrible. It's heartbreaking. But
Luke Comb's, Eric Church, James Taylor, Billy Strings, they're coming
together to raise money to provide additional financial assistance to
the victims of Hurricane Helen in the Carolina region, which
is very cool. I love that it's called Concert for Carolina.
(05:49):
ESPN's Marty Smith and Barstool Sports Caleb Presley is going
to host. It's October twenty six at Bank of America's
Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. Additional artists are to sign on.
Eric Church released a song and all of the proceeds
from this song, royalty free goes back to rebuilding in
North Carolina's lovely. Isn't that sweet?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Yeah? I really like that. It's nice to know that,
you know, celebrities who are successful are giving back.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Yes, And he did an Instagram post on it too,
gave us a sneak peak of the song in case
you missed it. Here it is stop.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Come you stop.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
It's given me some earth wind and fire vibes. It's
called Darkest Hour and all of the proceeds royalties everything
goes to the rebuilding of the Carolinas from Hurricane Helen.
So did you go to the movies over the weekend?
Probably not. You were busy with weddings.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Right, I'd had two weddings this weekend. But I love
going to the movies. I my boyfriend and I go
to the one on sixteenth Street mall where they have
the reclining chairs. Oh yeah, no, it's amazing.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Is that the Alamo Draft House?
Speaker 1 (06:59):
I know, but we've been there too. It's I just
will not go to a movie theater if it doesn't
have our clothing.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
I'm spoiled.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
I spoiled, but I love going to the movies.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Joker, Joaquin Phoenix with Lady Gaga. It was supposed to
rock the box office. They were predicting one hundred million dollars.
It is number one at the box office, but with
and I say only, but compared to one hundred million,
forty million dollars a lot.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I didn't make it that far.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Yeah, they said they didn't like it as much as.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
I haven't seen it Joker, So I feel like I
can't put my two cents on it, but I will
say that I love Lady Gaga. But also I feel
like this might be controversial, but I don't know if
they needed to make two new Joker movies. Yeah, I
think the first one was great, but it really glamorized
like some stuff that I was like, you don't need
to glamorize that, you know, Yeah, it's it's but it's
(07:48):
also entertainment and like that sells.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
So yeah, a lot of people are saying it should
have been a musical because they're saying a lot to
each other in the Kayes.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Well, no wonder Lady Gaga is there.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Yeah, I thought when I I saw a little clip
of it. I'm like, whoa, it looks intense. She's going
to get an oscar. However, they always show the best clips. Yeah,
so you're like, and then you go to the movie.
I watched the movie within that thirty second trailer, all
the best clips.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
You're like, I don't need to see it. I already
saw the trailer.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yeah. So Zach Bryan, Zach Bryan, boo and I get
paid to talk. Zach Bryan will not be part of
the twenty twenty five Grammy Awards. It's not because he's
not nominated. Are you a fan of Zach Bryan?
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Yes and no. My music type is all over the place.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
There was this one time he performed at Red Rocks
and it was snowing.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
It was all that must have been magical.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yeah, it was a very cool concert, very cool.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
He is a great artist. I have no bad things
to say to him. It's just not someone I listened
to all the time.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
I find it strange. It's not because he's not going
to get nominated, but he won't even submit his music
for Grammy consideration.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I've never heard of that.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
I don't think anyone any other artist.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
I wonder why, you know, who else.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Feels this way. Chapel Rone. She doesn't want her music
affiliated with the Grammys at all. She doesn't want to
be in a competition.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Do you see her crowd at ACL this weekend?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Oh? I bet it was crazy.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
It was insane. Yeah, like thousands and thousands and thousands
of people.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
I guess Zach saying listen, it's a competition, and he
doesn't like when music is turned into a competition.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
I mean, I get that, but also, like you know,
the music industry is a business, but it is also
his personal decision. If he doesn't want to summon to
his work, then he doesn't have to. No one's forcing
him to.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
But I don't know. I bet he'd win a few
and then he'd have a different mind.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
I mean, he's an amazing artist. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Are you a fan of Anne Hathway?
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Oh my god, of course he isn't. Who isn't.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Princess Diaries three is gonna be made so excited.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
I know, I feel like Anne Hathway doesn't age.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
So oh she looks so good.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
No, she looks so good. So it's just gonna be
like the first two movies.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
And I love those feel good movies.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Yeah, they don't make movies like that anymore, like the
early two thousand movies just hit different.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
What is your favorite movie of all time?
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Okay, you're gonna giggle at this. I love Were the Millers.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
With Jennifer Anistad, Oh my gosh, the Harvey.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Yes, and Jason Sidakis. I love him. I think that's
like the funniest movie.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Have you ever watched Ted Yes with Jason sidikas.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Ted is with oh my gosh, what's his name? I
know it's with Jason No not Ted? Yes?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Are you sure you're singing in the movie Mark Wahlberg, Yes, okay, no,
the series on Apple, Yes, Yes, I'm like half frasen it.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
I was like, huh, you know Ted Ted?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
I don't have to say Ted last.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
We should put a believe above your door? So I can.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
I love that show. I cannot wait for it to
come back or is it coming?
Speaker 1 (10:47):
I actually think the last season was the final season.
I know, but I think what they Here's the thing.
I actually liked it. It was that last season because
sometimes with shows that are that good, they try to
make it so good as the seasons go on, and
it just isn't. It just doesn't.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
There's so much more to answer though, it's like Game
of Thrones, right, yeah, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
What's that show on HBO.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Game of the New uh, sequel to Game of Thrones. Yes,
that everyone's House of Dragons.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
I'm obsessed with that too.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Do you like that?
Speaker 1 (11:16):
I have a very broad I love all TV.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
See, I have not watched House of Dragons.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
It's good.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I did watch Game of Thrones though. I binged on that,
and I am you like reality TV? I love reality TV.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I know we just discussed that. I just finished watching
like all of Below Deck and I'm watching Below Deck
Med right now.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
I'm a big fan of Blow Deck Med. And I
know Captain Sandy.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Which I would fangirl if I ever met her.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Married a friend of mine, Leah, and now they're in
Florida together.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Will tell them, I said, Hi, I don't know me,
but I'll be like, hi, I love you.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
They're the nicest people, nicest people.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
I told my mom I was watching that. She's like,
oh my gosh. I also her. I know Leah, and
I was like, I am obsessed with her. I think
Captain Sandy is awesome, oh so cool.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
She's been through so much in life and she gives
inspiration to the way that.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
She carries herself in like how she leads, it's real
and honestly, being a woman in that industry too, I
can't even imagine. Like that's also like pretty hard because
it is pretty much a male dominated industry, But the
way that she leads and how she just you know,
takes charge is really awesome to see.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
I watch that show and then I tell my boys
they're not boys anymore. Twenty one and soon to be
twenty five, I'm like, why don't you go and work
on a yacht?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
I could trap on the world?
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Did you?
Speaker 1 (12:33):
I was watching it, I was like, h what do
you think I would be a good stuardesst because you
could travel the world and you get paid to do it.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
They should have someone like you on a yacht so
girls every day can get their makeup done, their skincare,
especially a different altitude, different you know, environments.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Any Yachti's listening, Yes.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Captain Sandy, Hey, I guess I'm special for you. So anyway, okay,
let's get down to business. Let's talk abut you. Enough
with the Denise's dirt fun stuff. No, I loved it
your professional journey. Now we talked about makeup and your
dream is to do consistently weddings. But how did you
get started in all of this.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
I've always loved makeup and skincare, and you know, when
I was younger, I would rummage through my mom's makeup chore,
which was all Chanel and just you know, the best.
But I had pretty bad sistic acne growing up, and
I one of the main reasons why I wanted to
get into esthetics and into this industry was to learn
more about my skin and try to help out with
(13:31):
making that better. And only until recently it's gotten to
a point where I've been like, all right, I feel
comfortable in my skin and it's taken you, beautiful skin,
thank you, It's taken a while. So that's another I
tell my clients that I'm like all my acting clients,
I'm like patients. Is key, you know. But yeah, I've
been in the industry for about five years. I worked
(13:52):
at a salon and spa and now I work at
a dermatologist office. So I've kind of worked my way up.
I've done front desk, I've learned the business, I've done
makeup and browse, and now I'm working more on the
medical side of things, while also having my makeup business
where I do events and weddings and you know, photo
shoots and fashion week on the weekends. But I'm laser certified,
(14:13):
so I do laser hair removal and I'm more yep,
I do all.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
The couple of hairs that have shown up on my
chin as.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I come as app them. You come on overall app.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Okay, A lot of women have that. Yeah, what's good
for acnees?
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Everyone's different, you know. I think a steady homecare routine
is the way to do it. I mean, I have
clients who come to see me and we set goals
for about a six month period. They come to see
me every month, we do a service and they stick
to their homecare routine. And also since I do work
in a dermatologist's office, I do have access to the
(14:47):
doctors and they can prescribe prescriptions, whether it's an oral
prescription or a topical. So that also comes into factor
with helping my acne clients, which I love. I think
not a lot of astheticians have that accessible to them,
which is cool.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
And I like how everything you do is natural. Yeah,
so what can you like balancing a client's skin and
their beauty at the same time. So they want to
be beautiful, but they have skin concerns. What do you
advise them to put on their face topically and to
give that glow.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
It just depends if they're seeing If they're seeing me
for like an aesthetic service, Like if they're coming to
me for like an acne boot camp, then my answer
is going to be different when they're sitting in my
chair per makeup. So if they're just coming to see
me for a makeup application, the consultation is the most
important part and being realistic and setting realistic expectations because
some people will show me an inspirational picture and they're like,
(15:39):
I want something supernatural and they show me the picture
and it's like full glam, and I'm.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Like, that's not natural.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
I'm like people just kind of have like a different
perception of what's natural and what's full glam and how
it translates to their own skin and their own face.
Everyone's eye shape is different, everyone's skin texture and skin
type is different.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
No, girl, I took in a picture this is back
in the nineties, okay, a faith Hill with her cute
little hair, and I said, I want to look like that.
I should have realized when the lady started putting gel
on my hair, going I just get this at the Walmart,
and I was like a Denise Ron. I walked out
of there not looking like faith Hill, but by like
bon Jovie, no kidding, like I had a total mullet
(16:20):
eighties mullet.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Oh my god, that's so horribuny.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Let's talk about trends. Tell me what really does work.
I bought that facial mask, hit it on the red
light therapy? Does that work? And if I do it
every night at home?
Speaker 1 (16:32):
It depends on what type of red light mask it
is because there's different there's different levels to it, Like
if you bought something off of T Moon, that's probably
not gonna work the best. Really, Yeah, it's red light
therapy I believe in. But having the correct equipment is important.
We'll say that. Another thing that I think is really
something that works is New Face. Do you know that
(16:53):
New Face product? Oh? Okay, so New Face. It's like
this little device and it has two like round balls
on top of it and it essentially sends like ionic
pulses through your skin and lift and shape your skin.
I use it every morning. I will spray my face
with water and then I'll just use my new Face
device and help lift and tighten my skin.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Does it vibrate or something?
Speaker 1 (17:16):
You can feel it. You can feel like the little
electronic pulses just like zapping. But it's not painful at all.
But it's really cool to see the difference. Like I'll
do one side of my face and then I'll do
the other and the one side of my face that
I've used my new Face on, it's lifted, it's tightened.
I look more sculpted. And if you use it daily,
it helps with skin tightening and elasticity and all that
(17:38):
cool stuff.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Nice. I love it, very cool.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
It's a good google that it's a good investment. It's
an expensive device, but if you use it every day,
it's a really good investment.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
You're gonna have to send it to me so I
can share it.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
I will one hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
What advice would you give individuals currently struggling with acne again?
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Patients is key and getting into a solid route ten
that helps your skin, which could be a little bit
of you know, trial and air figuring out what products
work for you. But I think if someone's really serious
about wanting to change their skin, knowing that it's not
going to happen overnight, right and staying consistent with what
your esthetician or your dermatologists prescribe and tell you what
(18:18):
to do, because at the end of the day, we
are educated on this and we want to help you,
but it's not going to happen overnight.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Let's go back to your makeup application. Every artist has
their own technique, so how do you apply yours?
Speaker 1 (18:31):
So since my style is pretty, you know, skincare first,
pretty natural. I always just like to talk with the
client about their comfortability, like what shadow colors they're comfortable with,
if they wanting full coverage or are they wanting more
skin like foundation, what skin type they have. I just
do a full consultation before I put any makeup on them.
And another trick that I do is I'll start out
(18:53):
light because it's easier to add more product than take
more off. But yeah, for example, I did a wedding
this past weekend and just the run down of the
consult you know, what type of skin do you have?
Are you comfortable wearing makeup? What colors are you comfortable with? Shadows?
Do you like blues, purples, browns, blacks, right, you know
(19:14):
all of that stuff.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
I have the toughest time trying to do the cat out.
You're gonna have to show me how to do it.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Actually, I have a very very easy trick on how
to do that.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Really, do you use tape or something like?
Speaker 1 (19:22):
I see?
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Nope.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
So a lot of people when they do eyeliner, they'll
actually like lift their eyes up or like, cause it's
just like a natural thing to do when you're like concentrating.
So the trick is to just do three dots, So
you follow the under eye where your lower lashes, and
you go up from here in the corner, one by
your brow, and then you just put it right above
your middle pupil. I'll show you how to do it.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Oh my gosh, that sounds so easy.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
It is, but you have to keep your eye like level,
like if you just keep your eyes straight and you
don't and then you just connect everything. It's also easier
if you're using like a shadow instead of like a liquid.
If you spray like a small angled brush with some
water and dip it into some shadow, the pigment will
stick on your eye more than just a regular shadow,
(20:10):
but it gives you a little bit more flexibility to
adjust your liner and make sure it's the way that
you like it. Because if you put a liquid liner
on there, you better make sure that you know where
it's going because it's gonna stick there.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
That's what happened to me this morning. So I'm like
taking a sponge and rubbing it a.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Cute tip with some Missler water. I'm trying to clean
it all up. I meant to do that.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
It's supposed to look smudged right now. People.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Another trick, too, is to definitely put some liner in
your underlash line, like underneath your lashes, in that water line,
because that makes the illusion look like your lashes are
much thicker than they are. So if you are doing
a liner, it's important to have that connected there so
it doesn't look like you can see your eyelid, if
that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Yes, yes, And what eyeliner do you use specifically?
Speaker 1 (20:52):
I love this Charlotte Tilbury black liner, but honestly, any
pencil liner. I like a wooden pencil liner so I
can sharpen it easily and sanitize it easily. But that's
just because I use it on a lot of people.
I don't really like the plastic ones that you just twist,
but that's just from a makeup artist's perspective, from a
sanitary perspective, because you gotta sharpen those, so but yeah,
(21:14):
any wooden pencil liner would work.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Here's a fun question, what's your long term goal?
Speaker 1 (21:20):
You know, I really would love to go to New
York Fashion Week. I loved doing fashion week here in Denver.
I thought it was so fun, just the energy backstage
and creating looks and seeing it on the runway. I
think that's a really really cool experience. So I think
definitely that I also would love to I have a
client in June who's getting married in Italy. I would
(21:43):
love to go with her Italy and do her makeup.
I like that's something that I would love her. Oh yeah,
we've talked about I have a contract ready, don't worry
about it. Congratulation, no, But I just would love that
to like travel and like go with my brides to
their destination wedding, and I think that would be a
really really fun thing to do. I also would just
love my own studio at one point where it's just
(22:06):
like me and my makeup setup and everything's decorated my
way and.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
What about your favorite makeup brand moment?
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Do you remember that? I believe it was New York
Fashion Week or it was Pat McGrath did this makeup
look where she used like an airbrush and she used
like an airbrush machine and it used like latex in
it and they looked like porcelain dolls.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Oh do you remember that?
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Okay, you have to look that up. I might be
wrong on what fashion week it was, but that makeup
was iconic. Wow, it was so so cool. Like Pat
McGrath is obviously an icon and a legend in her
own right, but how cool would that be to be
a part of that to do makeup for that?
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Amazing?
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Like I love doing Halloween makeup. I love doing something
out of the box when you know it's not just
me doing my natural, glowy skincare first makeup. I think
it's really important to have a balance. But yeah, I
think that was a really cool, like popcorn culture moment
and makeup people like redid it on TikTok like it
turned into a trend where people like tried their own
version of it. It's really cool.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Okay, I'll have to check that out. You have so
much going on and I know you're going to have
a huge, bright future. I love the way you do makeup.
I absolutely love, love love. If they want to get
in touch with you, what is your social.

never been to Dallas before, so it's going to be
a fun trip with you and my other clients and
going down there, it's going to be a real blast.
I'm really excited.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Watch out girl. Normally it's Denise in Denver. Now it's
gonna be Denise in Dallas. So we're gonna find out
a little bit more about you and maybe some hot
makeup trends for fall or something you could suggest for
nice skin here in dry Colorado. But first let's get
to some pop culture. I call it Denise's dirt. And
I know you love pop culture. You love reality TV.
(01:21):
Oh yeah, so this is right up your alley. It's
about Taylor Swift.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Love her? I know, well, first doesn't.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
She's the richest female in the world, crazy, richest female musician,
with a net worth of one point six billion dollars.
Rihanna is one point four billion. And I think you
know what happens is because show business. She knows the
show and she knows the business. I mean, she really
is brilliant and she works hard also just.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
As an artist, right for lyricism and everything that she
puts into her work. I know, as a woman like
we relate to that so much just because of everything
that she puts out in her artistry. But she's very talented,
well deserved.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Would that be your dream client to do makeup on?
Speaker 1 (02:05):
You know? This is I like this question because I
feel like people don't understand that there are very there's
differences between types of makeup artists. Like a lot of
makeup artists will do celebrities or just weddings or just events,
and you know, I would love to, Like, I wouldn't
say no to that because how amazing would that be?
But I love doing weddings. I love doing fashion weeks.
(02:28):
So celebrities where You're going to chair for two and
a half hours and I'm putting makeup all over your body.
I wouldn't say no to it one time, but I
definitely would not want to make that as like a
career a career.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yeah, you're more natural you make.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
I'm skincare first. Yeah, you know your makeup is only
going to look as good as your skin is.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
But think about it, Taylor Swift just drops your business card.
I mean crazy.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yeah, I'm not going to say no to that. That'd
be amazing.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
So her boyfriend Travis Kelcey is worth a reported ninety
million dollars, not too shabby himself, although since he's been
dating Taylor Swift, he's get into movies, he's getting into.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Her influence, yeah, television series.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Who knows where he may go after this a lot
of people were giving him, picking on him a little bit,
saying he's not in shape for football because he's.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
A pessional football player.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
But he had a couple bad games. Don't worry. Taylor
Swift is supposed to be at the game or recording
this on Monday, so she's supposed to be there tonight,
so we'll see what happens. Okay, great, Yeah, although he
did celebrate his birthday, and interesting enough, she wasn't there.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Maybe she was just busy. She's a businesswoman, you know. Yeah,
you have to balance life and business.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
So but reality, I don't think the Kansas City Chiefs
wives or girlfriends would have had this opportunity if it
wasn't for Taylor Swift. Bravo is working on a reality series.
It's going to focus on the wives and girlfriends of
Kansas City Chiefs players and the past few years since
they won the Super Bowl. Get this, though, Taylor Swift
is not going to be part of it, and either
(03:53):
as Britney mahomes.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Well, I feel like she doesn't need the publicity.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
I don't think she doesn't know. I mean, that would
be a huge win if Bravo got either those girls.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
But I mean that wouldn't be happening if it wasn't
for Taylor. So that's all the attention that she's brought
to football in general.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
I agree a lot of people are going, Oh, why
do they have to show her during football?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
It's for like ten seconds out of the total game.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yeah, Like relax and girl dads, Yeah, I mean, if
they're watching the football with their little girl, it's exciting.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
For her and it brings like a new fan, your
dad to the game.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
You know, trust me, the NFL's love and every minute
they're soaking it up. As you know. I just got
back from Florida, and before we went to Florida, there
was a Hurricane Helene that went through. It's so much
damage in the Carolina's North Carolina especially, But now another
hurricane's coming. It's supposed to hit tomorrow, Hurricane Milton, and
(04:42):
it's supposed to be one of the worst to ever
hit Florida. One hundred and fifty mile per hour wins.
So God bless for all of those people.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I hope everyone's safe and evacuating and taking care of
everything that they need to.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
It's scary, Oh scary, Emma, and some of the film
that I've seen on North Carolina. It's sad of the before. Yes, yeah,
complete towns washed away.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
The whole structure of land has changed now.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
And I've heard, and who knows if this is true
or not, but a lot of the homeowners their home
didn't survive, but their land is still there, so they
want to rebuild. They're allegedly being told they can't rebuild.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Well, I feel like it would be unstable depending on
where it is, you know, with how much the mud
slide and the water and all of that.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Your entire life for that land.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
It's heartbreaking.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
You know, you have to get a fair penny out
of it if you are going to sell it to
the government. Otherwise it is it's horrible. It's heartbreaking. But
Luke Comb's, Eric Church, James Taylor, Billy Strings, they're coming
together to raise money to provide additional financial assistance to
the victims of Hurricane Helen in the Carolina region, which
is very cool. I love that it's called Concert for Carolina.
(05:49):
ESPN's Marty Smith and Barstool Sports Caleb Presley is going
to host. It's October twenty six at Bank of America's
Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. Additional artists are to sign on.
Eric Church released a song and all of the proceeds
from this song, royalty free goes back to rebuilding in
North Carolina's lovely. Isn't that sweet?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Yeah? I really like that. It's nice to know that,
you know, celebrities who are successful are giving back.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Yes, And he did an Instagram post on it too,
gave us a sneak peak of the song in case
you missed it. Here it is stop.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Come you stop.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
It's given me some earth wind and fire vibes. It's
called Darkest Hour and all of the proceeds royalties everything
goes to the rebuilding of the Carolinas from Hurricane Helen.
So did you go to the movies over the weekend?
Probably not. You were busy with weddings.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Right, I'd had two weddings this weekend. But I love
going to the movies. I my boyfriend and I go
to the one on sixteenth Street mall where they have
the reclining chairs. Oh yeah, no, it's amazing.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Is that the Alamo Draft House?
Speaker 1 (06:59):
I know, but we've been there too. It's I just
will not go to a movie theater if it doesn't
have our clothing.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
I'm spoiled.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
I spoiled, but I love going to the movies.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Joker, Joaquin Phoenix with Lady Gaga. It was supposed to
rock the box office. They were predicting one hundred million dollars.
It is number one at the box office, but with
and I say only, but compared to one hundred million,
forty million dollars a lot.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I didn't make it that far.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Yeah, they said they didn't like it as much as.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
I haven't seen it Joker, So I feel like I
can't put my two cents on it, but I will
say that I love Lady Gaga. But also I feel
like this might be controversial, but I don't know if
they needed to make two new Joker movies. Yeah, I
think the first one was great, but it really glamorized
like some stuff that I was like, you don't need
to glamorize that, you know, Yeah, it's it's but it's
(07:48):
also entertainment and like that sells.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
So yeah, a lot of people are saying it should
have been a musical because they're saying a lot to
each other in the Kayes.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Well, no wonder Lady Gaga is there.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Yeah, I thought when I I saw a little clip
of it. I'm like, whoa, it looks intense. She's going
to get an oscar. However, they always show the best clips. Yeah,
so you're like, and then you go to the movie.
I watched the movie within that thirty second trailer, all
the best clips.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
You're like, I don't need to see it. I already
saw the trailer.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yeah. So Zach Bryan, Zach Bryan, boo and I get
paid to talk. Zach Bryan will not be part of
the twenty twenty five Grammy Awards. It's not because he's
not nominated. Are you a fan of Zach Bryan?
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Yes and no. My music type is all over the place.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
There was this one time he performed at Red Rocks
and it was snowing.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
It was all that must have been magical.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yeah, it was a very cool concert, very cool.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
He is a great artist. I have no bad things
to say to him. It's just not someone I listened
to all the time.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
I find it strange. It's not because he's not going
to get nominated, but he won't even submit his music
for Grammy consideration.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I've never heard of that.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
I don't think anyone any other artist.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
I wonder why, you know, who else.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Feels this way. Chapel Rone. She doesn't want her music
affiliated with the Grammys at all. She doesn't want to
be in a competition.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Do you see her crowd at ACL this weekend?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Oh? I bet it was crazy.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
It was insane. Yeah, like thousands and thousands and thousands
of people.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
I guess Zach saying listen, it's a competition, and he
doesn't like when music is turned into a competition.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
I mean, I get that, but also, like you know,
the music industry is a business, but it is also
his personal decision. If he doesn't want to summon to
his work, then he doesn't have to. No one's forcing
him to.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
But I don't know. I bet he'd win a few
and then he'd have a different mind.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
I mean, he's an amazing artist. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Are you a fan of Anne Hathway?
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Oh my god, of course he isn't. Who isn't.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Princess Diaries three is gonna be made so excited.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
I know, I feel like Anne Hathway doesn't age.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
So oh she looks so good.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
No, she looks so good. So it's just gonna be
like the first two movies.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
And I love those feel good movies.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Yeah, they don't make movies like that anymore, like the
early two thousand movies just hit different.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
What is your favorite movie of all time?
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Okay, you're gonna giggle at this. I love Were the Millers.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
With Jennifer Anistad, Oh my gosh, the Harvey.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Yes, and Jason Sidakis. I love him. I think that's
like the funniest movie.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Have you ever watched Ted Yes with Jason sidikas.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Ted is with oh my gosh, what's his name? I
know it's with Jason No not Ted? Yes?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Are you sure you're singing in the movie Mark Wahlberg, Yes, okay, no,
the series on Apple, Yes, Yes, I'm like half frasen it.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
I was like, huh, you know Ted Ted?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
I don't have to say Ted last.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
We should put a believe above your door? So I can.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
I love that show. I cannot wait for it to
come back or is it coming?
Speaker 1 (10:47):
I actually think the last season was the final season.
I know, but I think what they Here's the thing.
I actually liked it. It was that last season because
sometimes with shows that are that good, they try to
make it so good as the seasons go on, and
it just isn't. It just doesn't.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
There's so much more to answer though, it's like Game
of Thrones, right, yeah, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
What's that show on HBO.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Game of the New uh, sequel to Game of Thrones. Yes,
that everyone's House of Dragons.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
I'm obsessed with that too.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Do you like that?
Speaker 1 (11:16):
I have a very broad I love all TV.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
See, I have not watched House of Dragons.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
It's good.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I did watch Game of Thrones though. I binged on that,
and I am you like reality TV? I love reality TV.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I know we just discussed that. I just finished watching
like all of Below Deck and I'm watching Below Deck
Med right now.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
I'm a big fan of Blow Deck Med. And I
know Captain Sandy.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Which I would fangirl if I ever met her.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Married a friend of mine, Leah, and now they're in
Florida together.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Will tell them, I said, Hi, I don't know me,
but I'll be like, hi, I love you.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
They're the nicest people, nicest people.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
I told my mom I was watching that. She's like,
oh my gosh. I also her. I know Leah, and
I was like, I am obsessed with her. I think
Captain Sandy is awesome, oh so cool.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
She's been through so much in life and she gives
inspiration to the way that.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
She carries herself in like how she leads, it's real
and honestly, being a woman in that industry too, I
can't even imagine. Like that's also like pretty hard because
it is pretty much a male dominated industry, But the
way that she leads and how she just you know,
takes charge is really awesome to see.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
I watch that show and then I tell my boys
they're not boys anymore. Twenty one and soon to be
twenty five, I'm like, why don't you go and work
on a yacht?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
I could trap on the world?
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Did you?
Speaker 1 (12:33):
I was watching it, I was like, h what do
you think I would be a good stuardesst because you
could travel the world and you get paid to do it.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
They should have someone like you on a yacht so
girls every day can get their makeup done, their skincare,
especially a different altitude, different you know, environments.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Any Yachti's listening, Yes.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Captain Sandy, Hey, I guess I'm special for you. So anyway, okay,
let's get down to business. Let's talk abut you. Enough
with the Denise's dirt fun stuff. No, I loved it
your professional journey. Now we talked about makeup and your
dream is to do consistently weddings. But how did you
get started in all of this.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
I've always loved makeup and skincare, and you know, when
I was younger, I would rummage through my mom's makeup chore,
which was all Chanel and just you know, the best.
But I had pretty bad sistic acne growing up, and
I one of the main reasons why I wanted to
get into esthetics and into this industry was to learn
more about my skin and try to help out with
(13:31):
making that better. And only until recently it's gotten to
a point where I've been like, all right, I feel
comfortable in my skin and it's taken you, beautiful skin,
thank you, It's taken a while. So that's another I
tell my clients that I'm like all my acting clients,
I'm like patients. Is key, you know. But yeah, I've
been in the industry for about five years. I worked
(13:52):
at a salon and spa and now I work at
a dermatologist office. So I've kind of worked my way up.
I've done front desk, I've learned the business, I've done
makeup and browse, and now I'm working more on the
medical side of things, while also having my makeup business
where I do events and weddings and you know, photo
shoots and fashion week on the weekends. But I'm laser certified,
(14:13):
so I do laser hair removal and I'm more yep,
I do all.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
The couple of hairs that have shown up on my
chin as.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I come as app them. You come on overall app.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Okay, A lot of women have that. Yeah, what's good
for acnees?
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Everyone's different, you know. I think a steady homecare routine
is the way to do it. I mean, I have
clients who come to see me and we set goals
for about a six month period. They come to see
me every month, we do a service and they stick
to their homecare routine. And also since I do work
in a dermatologist's office, I do have access to the
(14:47):
doctors and they can prescribe prescriptions, whether it's an oral
prescription or a topical. So that also comes into factor
with helping my acne clients, which I love. I think
not a lot of astheticians have that accessible to them,
which is cool.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
And I like how everything you do is natural. Yeah,
so what can you like balancing a client's skin and
their beauty at the same time. So they want to
be beautiful, but they have skin concerns. What do you
advise them to put on their face topically and to
give that glow.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
It just depends if they're seeing If they're seeing me
for like an aesthetic service, Like if they're coming to
me for like an acne boot camp, then my answer
is going to be different when they're sitting in my
chair per makeup. So if they're just coming to see
me for a makeup application, the consultation is the most
important part and being realistic and setting realistic expectations because
some people will show me an inspirational picture and they're like,
(15:39):
I want something supernatural and they show me the picture
and it's like full glam, and I'm.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Like, that's not natural.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
I'm like people just kind of have like a different
perception of what's natural and what's full glam and how
it translates to their own skin and their own face.
Everyone's eye shape is different, everyone's skin texture and skin
type is different.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
No, girl, I took in a picture this is back
in the nineties, okay, a faith Hill with her cute
little hair, and I said, I want to look like that.
I should have realized when the lady started putting gel
on my hair, going I just get this at the Walmart,
and I was like a Denise Ron. I walked out
of there not looking like faith Hill, but by like
bon Jovie, no kidding, like I had a total mullet
(16:20):
eighties mullet.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Oh my god, that's so horribuny.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Let's talk about trends. Tell me what really does work.
I bought that facial mask, hit it on the red
light therapy? Does that work? And if I do it
every night at home?
Speaker 1 (16:32):
It depends on what type of red light mask it
is because there's different there's different levels to it, Like
if you bought something off of T Moon, that's probably
not gonna work the best. Really, Yeah, it's red light
therapy I believe in. But having the correct equipment is important.
We'll say that. Another thing that I think is really
something that works is New Face. Do you know that
(16:53):
New Face product? Oh? Okay, so New Face. It's like
this little device and it has two like round balls
on top of it and it essentially sends like ionic
pulses through your skin and lift and shape your skin.
I use it every morning. I will spray my face
with water and then I'll just use my new Face
device and help lift and tighten my skin.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Does it vibrate or something?
Speaker 1 (17:16):
You can feel it. You can feel like the little
electronic pulses just like zapping. But it's not painful at all.
But it's really cool to see the difference. Like I'll
do one side of my face and then I'll do
the other and the one side of my face that
I've used my new Face on, it's lifted, it's tightened.
I look more sculpted. And if you use it daily,
it helps with skin tightening and elasticity and all that
(17:38):
cool stuff.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Nice. I love it, very cool.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
It's a good google that it's a good investment. It's
an expensive device, but if you use it every day,
it's a really good investment.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
You're gonna have to send it to me so I
can share it.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
I will one hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
What advice would you give individuals currently struggling with acne again?
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Patients is key and getting into a solid route ten
that helps your skin, which could be a little bit
of you know, trial and air figuring out what products
work for you. But I think if someone's really serious
about wanting to change their skin, knowing that it's not
going to happen overnight, right and staying consistent with what
your esthetician or your dermatologists prescribe and tell you what
(18:18):
to do, because at the end of the day, we
are educated on this and we want to help you,
but it's not going to happen overnight.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Let's go back to your makeup application. Every artist has
their own technique, so how do you apply yours?
Speaker 1 (18:31):
So since my style is pretty, you know, skincare first,
pretty natural. I always just like to talk with the
client about their comfortability, like what shadow colors they're comfortable with,
if they wanting full coverage or are they wanting more
skin like foundation, what skin type they have. I just
do a full consultation before I put any makeup on them.
And another trick that I do is I'll start out
(18:53):
light because it's easier to add more product than take
more off. But yeah, for example, I did a wedding
this past weekend and just the run down of the
consult you know, what type of skin do you have?
Are you comfortable wearing makeup? What colors are you comfortable with? Shadows?
Do you like blues, purples, browns, blacks, right, you know
(19:14):
all of that stuff.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
I have the toughest time trying to do the cat out.
You're gonna have to show me how to do it.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Actually, I have a very very easy trick on how
to do that.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Really, do you use tape or something like?
Speaker 1 (19:22):
I see?
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Nope.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
So a lot of people when they do eyeliner, they'll
actually like lift their eyes up or like, cause it's
just like a natural thing to do when you're like concentrating.
So the trick is to just do three dots, So
you follow the under eye where your lower lashes, and
you go up from here in the corner, one by
your brow, and then you just put it right above
your middle pupil. I'll show you how to do it.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Oh my gosh, that sounds so easy.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
It is, but you have to keep your eye like level,
like if you just keep your eyes straight and you
don't and then you just connect everything. It's also easier
if you're using like a shadow instead of like a liquid.
If you spray like a small angled brush with some
water and dip it into some shadow, the pigment will
stick on your eye more than just a regular shadow,
(20:10):
but it gives you a little bit more flexibility to
adjust your liner and make sure it's the way that
you like it. Because if you put a liquid liner
on there, you better make sure that you know where
it's going because it's gonna stick there.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
That's what happened to me this morning. So I'm like
taking a sponge and rubbing it a.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Cute tip with some Missler water. I'm trying to clean
it all up. I meant to do that.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
It's supposed to look smudged right now. People.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Another trick, too, is to definitely put some liner in
your underlash line, like underneath your lashes, in that water line,
because that makes the illusion look like your lashes are
much thicker than they are. So if you are doing
a liner, it's important to have that connected there so
it doesn't look like you can see your eyelid, if
that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Yes, yes, And what eyeliner do you use specifically?
Speaker 1 (20:52):
I love this Charlotte Tilbury black liner, but honestly, any
pencil liner. I like a wooden pencil liner so I
can sharpen it easily and sanitize it easily. But that's
just because I use it on a lot of people.
I don't really like the plastic ones that you just twist,
but that's just from a makeup artist's perspective, from a
sanitary perspective, because you gotta sharpen those, so but yeah,
(21:14):
any wooden pencil liner would work.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Here's a fun question, what's your long term goal?
Speaker 1 (21:20):
You know, I really would love to go to New
York Fashion Week. I loved doing fashion week here in Denver.
I thought it was so fun, just the energy backstage
and creating looks and seeing it on the runway. I
think that's a really really cool experience. So I think
definitely that I also would love to I have a
client in June who's getting married in Italy. I would
(21:43):
love to go with her Italy and do her makeup.
I like that's something that I would love her. Oh yeah,
we've talked about I have a contract ready, don't worry
about it. Congratulation, no, But I just would love that
to like travel and like go with my brides to
their destination wedding, and I think that would be a
really really fun thing to do. I also would just
love my own studio at one point where it's just
(22:06):
like me and my makeup setup and everything's decorated my
way and.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
What about your favorite makeup brand moment?
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Do you remember that? I believe it was New York
Fashion Week or it was Pat McGrath did this makeup
look where she used like an airbrush and she used
like an airbrush machine and it used like latex in
it and they looked like porcelain dolls.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Oh do you remember that?
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Okay, you have to look that up. I might be
wrong on what fashion week it was, but that makeup
was iconic. Wow, it was so so cool. Like Pat
McGrath is obviously an icon and a legend in her
own right, but how cool would that be to be
a part of that to do makeup for that?
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Amazing?
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Like I love doing Halloween makeup. I love doing something
out of the box when you know it's not just
me doing my natural, glowy skincare first makeup. I think
it's really important to have a balance. But yeah, I
think that was a really cool, like popcorn culture moment
and makeup people like redid it on TikTok like it
turned into a trend where people like tried their own
version of it. It's really cool.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Okay, I'll have to check that out. You have so
much going on and I know you're going to have
a huge, bright future. I love the way you do makeup.
I absolutely love, love love. If they want to get
