Partners in TikTok and in marriage, Alexis Androulakis and Dr. Christina Basias Androulakis are the creative minds behind The Lipstick Lesbians universe. In just one year, Alexis, a seasoned expert in product development, and Dr. Christina, an award-winning educator with a Ph.D. in Education and Technology, have earned a community of nearly one million followers with their next-level product “evaluations”– live from the aisles of Sephora. Tune in today as we learn to shop for makeup like a product development pro ourselves.

You’ll find out:

What to expect from their upcoming, beauty literacy course, “Beauty Mastery: Transform into a Product Developer & Consumer Genius,” coming soon!
The reason you should look at where a product is made before your next makeup purchase
What makes a product an instant red flag on a store shelf
Why SPF “doping” is the latest product trend we’ve seen this year, and whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing
The product trends they think will pop off in 2025

Pssst! Be sure to check out our Tiktok where The Lipstick Lesbians will play a little game of “red flag” vs “green flag” when it comes to buying your makeup!
