Breaking Beauty Podcast

In partnership with NYX Professional Makeup. To help celebrate NYX Professional Makeup’s 25th anniversary, today we’re sitting down with Global Brand President, Denée Pearson! We’re finding out why so many NYX products go viral on TikTok – and end up being a new makeup bag staple in the process. Plus, Denée predicts which NYX item we’ll all still be using 25 years from now (Hint: They are the #1 gloss brand in the US, after all.)

We’re finding out:

• Butter Girl Fall? Which three products Denée recommends to transition your makeup to fall this season.
• Why Denée insists that NYX is not a “dupes” brand, in spite of the brand’s on-trend, low-price prowess.
• The reason Denée spends so much of her time on TikTok, and what she’s learned to keep winning amongst Gen Z.
• The definition of “beauty entertainment,” and how the strategy is behind NYX’s drugstore domination. 
• What to buy from the NYX x Beetlejuice collab that launched this week – if it hasn’t sold out already!

Having suffered third degree burns to 40% of her face as a toddler, Basma Hameed set out on a two decade-long journey to pioneer a first-of-its-kind dermal procedure known as “scar camouflage,” employing custom skin tone pigments to make almost any scar, on any skin tone, nearly imperceptible.
