Ep. 286: My life in makeup, with Sara Wren, the queen of the flushed cheek and Director of Artistry at Milk Makeup

My FINAL guest of 2024 is here!

I've wanted to have makeup artist Sara Wren on the show for so long, and I'm so glad that the Director of Artistry for Milk Makeup is our final guest interview.

In this episode the Philadelphia-based makeup artist takes us behind the scenes of her life in makeup. From being inspired by Gwen Stefani and her first makeup counter job working for Christian Dior to how she became Director of Artistry for one of the most no-nonsense, multi-tasking beauty brands to come out of the 2010s: Milk Makeup.

As well as being hilarious and enlightening, this episode is a great opportunity to learn more about beauty retail, because when Sara first started working at Milk Makeup, she actually worked in account management, spending much of her life on the road and in hotels.

If you love this episode as much as we did, feel free to reach out in the DMs over on Instagram or find me on Threads - @charisse_kenion for both. And if you really loved this episode, give the show a rating or review - that would be the perfect Christmas gift to me.

Also, be sure to follow the show wherever you're listening.
