ASCP Esty Talk

Google lash extensions, and the images that pop up are everything from mega-volume to classic full sets. Often the images portrayed are from procedures that take hours to perform on one eye alone, and are for social media purposes only—they are not reality. In this episode of ASCP Esty Talk, Cirocco Stout shares with us common lash misconceptions and the detrimental effects of these unrealistic expectations on the lash artist and their business.

BIO:

Cirocco Stout began her career in the lash industry in 2003 as one of the first lash artists in the country. Since then, she has become a master in lash texture and tape isolation as well as building long-lasting client relationships and providing amazing service.

Cirocco was named one of the top 20 lash artists in Phoenix and was also featured as one of the original "Real Beauty Bosses." In 2020 she launched her own company, Ciroc Co. Beauty, which offers lash training as well as high-quality lash products and tools for technicians.

Some of the most interesting stories we tell as practitioners is how we got into the industry. Though there may be similar motivations, every story is unique. Today we are joined by Emily Geubelle, who shares her story about transitioning from a bushy-browed preteen into PR and marketing, eyebrow mastery, permanent makeup, and now, the new membership marketing manager for ASCP.

About Emily Geubelle:

Emily has a bachelor's degree in journalism from Colorado State University and previously worked in the PR/marketing field. With a desire to explore an exciting new path, she pursued the esthetics field and turned her infatuation with brows into a career. She received her license from the Denver School of Botanical and Medical Aesthetics and completed several advanced trainings in eyebrow design. Emily joined the ASCP team as the membership marketing manager this spring.

About our Sponsor: Antedotum

Antedotum founder Karina Perez Marconi was raised on the island of Puerto Rico (born to a Cuban dad and Puerto Rican mom), which meant consistent sun exposure from an early age—and cumulative sun damage for the Latina's olive skin. For decades, Marconi was plagued by dark spots, which were compounded by lingering, postpartum melasma after the birth of her daughter, Havana. Working for many years in beauty at Chanel's New York headquarters deepened Marconi's understanding of premium skin care. But finding an antidote to her skin aliments remained elusive. When the family relocated to Aspen, Colorado, the unforgiving mountain climate of dry air, high altitude, wind, sun, and cold only intensified her skin conditions.

Colorado is where Marconi took her curiosity of CBD and its purported curative abilities and started to sample an assortment of oils and balms. None of them smelled or looked great, but to her surprise, her skin started to transform. This unexpected discovery evolved into Antedotum.

What is wellness? Is it diet and exercise? Meditation? Gratitude? The World Health Organization defines it as ". . . a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." The skin care industry is interwoven with wellness gurus and practices, but what is the connection between wellness and the skin? How can skin care practitioners define their personal wellness, as well as incorporate it into their skin care practices? In this episode, we are joined by wellness aficionado and fellow spa professional Sherrie Tennessee.

Makeup artistry is more than just making pretty. There are many considerations, from event type and location to print versus film, lighting, wearability, and intention . . . As a professional, some of these things you learn the hard way, but none are as important as skin health!

In this episode, we discuss one makeup pro's journey from behind the makeup counter, through a successful makeup artistry career, and on to becoming a licensed esthetician (and now teacher). Find out what Kat DeJesus has learned along the way as she shares her story, as well as some advice for those just starting out, or those who have been in the game for a while.

About Kat DeJesus:

With over 20 years as a professional makeup artist, Kat DeJesus's experience taught her that within the art of professionally applied makeup there also lies a science. Understanding the geometry of a face, the arch of a brow, the texture of the skin, and the colors that highlight a person's natural features are the specific skills she brings to each set and occasion. Born in Colorado and raised in Chicago, DeJesus has a unique approach to style and makeup that is enriched by her diverse experience and the cultural references she encounters every day. This appreciation for diversity and zest for knowledge keeps her on the forefront of beauty trends and highly sought after for creative partnerships. DeJesus is highly acclaimed for her professionalism and skill on high-fashion photo shoots, music videos, store ads, commercials, and television shows, but it's her genuine ability to connect with people that leaves a lasting impression. She brings her knowledge into the educational side of things by sharing her experience as an esthetics educator at the School of Botanical and Medical Aesthetics in downtown Denver.

About our Sponsor: Antedotum

Antedotum founder Karina Perez Marconi was raised on the island of Puerto Rico (born to a Cuban dad and Puerto Rican mom), which meant consistent sun exposure from an early age—and cumulative sun damage for the Latina's olive skin. For decades, Marconi was plagued by dark spots, which were compounded by lingering, postpartum melasma after the birth of her daughter, Havana. Working for many years in beauty at Chanel's New York headquarters deepened Marconi's understanding of premium skin care. But finding an antidote to her skin aliments remained elusive. When the family relocated to Aspen, Colorado, the unforgiving mountain climate of dry air, high altitude, wind, sun, and cold only intensified her skin conditions.

Colorado is where Marconi took her curiosity of CBD and its purported curative abilities and started to sample an assortment of oils and balms. None of them smelled or looked great, but to her surprise, her skin started to transform. This unexpected discovery evolved into Antedotum.

Neil's son was introduced to CBD for pain management following a back injury that led to his appointment with the world's largest and most established CBD company, where for three years he developed a new international sales division. Through this experience, he developed his own business plan, and in June 2019, Nick and Neil formed On The Green CBD specifically targeted for the sports, fitness, and wellness industries.
