Ep. 73: Eyebrow evolutions and the stigma of creating content when you're a pro makeup artist with Isabel Rosado

Born in Brooklyn New York, to a Cuban mum and Puerto Rican dad, Isabel Rosado knew that makeup was in her future from childhood.

I've wanted to invite Isabel onto the podcast for a while, because her often daily makeup creations have always been a source of enjoyment and inspiration for me. She's definitely someone I can watch and minutes later I'll be Googling the products she's used. I wanted to find out more about her daily life, especially as we segue into some kind of new-ish normal after being on lockdown for a year.

In this episode Isabel talks about the magic of her morning coffee ritual and explains how growing up with a hairstylist for a mum meant countless hours at the salon, watching women transform before her eyes.

We of course talk about skincare - turns out Isabel loves her Elemis products - and she talks me through how she went from waking her sister up in the middle of the night to do her makeup, to working at MAC, to being Katie Jane Hughes' first assistant at New York Fashion Week. We also discuss some of the positives of lockdown as well as the industry stigma of making content for social media platforms and YouTube.
