EP 8: THE ART OF LESS. When it comes to your makeup kit, more isn't always better. In this episode, we're talking about the art of simplifying your kit and how having less can actually make you a more confident and efficient artist.

From carrying everything I owned “just in case” to building a kit that's intentional, organized, and tailored to the way I work, I'm sharing what I've learned over the years, how I decide what stays and what goes, and why knowing your products matters more than owning them all.

EP 7: YOU ASKED, I ANSWERED. We're switching things up this week with a little Q&A! I'm answering your questions about building a career in makeup, finding clients, navigating social media, knowing when to raise your rates, and the tools I can't live without in my kit. Plus, we're getting into my biggest client pet peeves, makeup artist hot takes, and everything in between.

EP 6: WHEN THEY DON'T LOVE IT.

What happens when your client doesn't love their makeup? In this episode, we're talking about those awkward moments in the chair, how to handle feedback without taking it personally, navigating difficult conversations, and knowing when to make adjustments or stand by your work. Because sometimes you miss the mark, sometimes you just aren't the right fit, and sometimes you can't please everyone. It's all part of being an artist, and how you handle it matters.

EP 5: ARTIST TO ARTIST: Taylor Fitzgerald. My first guest!!! This week I’m sitting down with celebrity makeup artist (and one of my best friends) Taylor Fitzgerald to talk all things career, clients, assisting, agency life, and of course, what’s currently in our kits. We get into how Taylor got her start, what made her decide to sign with an agency after years of self-managing, what she looks for in an assistant, and everything we’ve learned along the way. Basically, you’re sitting in on one of our very normal makeup artist yap sessions. 🎙️🤎

EP 4: READ THE ROOM.

Being a great makeup artist is about so much more than the makeup. In this episode, we’re talking about the unspoken rules of being in the room—from reading your client’s energy and knowing when to talk (and when not to), to how you present yourself, keeping a clean kit, and creating an experience people actually want to book again. Because at the end of the day, your presence is part of the service.

EP 3: NO OFF SWITCH. When your job doesn’t have an off switch, you have to learn how to create one. In this episode, we’re talking about setting boundaries with work, making time for yourself, knowing when to say no, and recognizing burnout before it catches up with you. Plus, I share a very real (and now very funny) story about the moment my body basically forced me to take a break.

EP 2: THE PRICE IS THE PRICE. When should you work for free—and when is it time to stand by your rate? In this episode, we’re talking about unpaid opportunities, discounts, raising your rates, loyal clients, and why not every client is meant to be your client. There’s a time and place for doing free work, but the choice should always be yours. At the end of the day, if you want people to take your business seriously, you have to take it seriously too.

EP 1: NYFW BLUES. Fashion Week is one of my favorite times of year—but it can also bring out comparison, FOMO, and that nagging feeling that you should be doing more. In this episode, we’re talking about navigating the highs and lows of NYFW, watching other artists get opportunities you wanted, saying no to exciting jobs when you’re already booked, and learning to recognize your own wins along the way. A little reminder that sometimes the Fashion Week blues get all of us <3

INTRO: Welcome to the CLUB!! I am so glad you're here. For our first episode, I wanted to start with a little bit about me, where The Inside Out Club started, and why we’re here now. I’m sharing what I want this podcast to be, why I think we need more honest conversations in our industry, and what you can expect along the way. We have a lot to talk about — and I’m so excited to finally have a place to talk about it all x
