In this episode of Skin Deep & Unfiltered, we’re sitting down with Erica Taylor, a pro makeup artist with 30 years of experience, to separate fact from fiction. From why your under-eye concealer keeps creasing (hint: you’re probably using the wrong texture) to the real secret to long-lasting makeup, we’re covering it all.

We also dive into the biggest makeup mistakes women over 30 are making, the truth about over-lining your lips (and how to do it right), the skincare step that makes or breaks your foundation, and why your eyeliner technique should change as you age.

With 30 years in the beauty industry, Erica Taylor has done it all—from working at makeup counters to teaching both everyday clients and celebrity artists how to master their craft. Known for her no-BS approach to beauty, she’s built a loyal following on TikTok and Instagram, where she shares expert tips, debunks makeup myths, and helps women of all ages look and feel their best. 

If you’ve ever wondered why your makeup doesn’t sit like it used to, this episode is packed with expert tips to help you level up your routine, no gimmicks, just real advice from a pro.
