Ep. 307: ‘Life’s too short to look like a 4 when you could look like a 10!' Content creator and makeup expert Gary Thompson on fillers, hair transplants and why it’s okay to unfollow


Listen Later

If you know Gary Thompson, formerly known as The Plastic Boy, you’re in for such a treat with this episode because Gary shares on everything.

In this episode the content creator and makeup expert talks about why he began creating videos over 15 years ago on Youtube, why he called himself the Plastic Boy and why he chooses to be so transparent and open when it comes to his use of fillers and hair transplants, including his recent moustache transplant. 

I can't remember how long I've followed Gary, but I do know why I follow him; he's one of the most charismatic and sweet humans you could encounter online, and he's exactly the same in real life - he's not one of those weirdo influencers that will talk to you online and then stare at you blankly when you meet them IRL.

Gary also shares on his early inspirations, how his Nan was the first family member to discover he was wearing makeup and how his family has always been accepting of his sexuality.

He also shares some thoughtful insights on social media, especially being a dark skin black man working in the very white woman-focused world of beauty, as well as why he believes you should never clap back and of course he talks about the beauty brands he loves.
