Naked Beauty

Whether you have a high or low-maintenance beauty routine, taking the time to plan and anticipate your beauty needs is something that I’ve found to be a game changer over the past few years. So with that, I wanted to use this episode to break down how to create a course of action for maintaining each and every part of your beauty ritual. From scheduling mani-pedis, to prepping your beauty products for travel, to laying out the perfect fit before that big event, there’s a lot to unpack here.

Before there were DE&I initiatives, shade range expansions, and the branding of “Black-owned” beauty, there was Fashion Fair Cosmetics. Launched back in 1973 by Ebony Magazine’s Eunice Johnson, Fashion Fair has always been created by and made for Black women. And after co-owners Desiree Rogers and Cheryl Mayberry McKissack purchased the brand in 2017, the brand’s revival has been nothing short of extraordinary. Tune in as I sit down with Desiree to discuss her experience re-launching Fashion Fair and creating equity within the Black community, her personal relationship with beauty and style, and her vast career journey from Obama’s White House to the cosmetics industry. *Please use code BROOKE15 for 15% off at FashionFair.com*Links to Products/Resources Mentioned: Beauty of Blackness (HBO), Fashion Fair (Lipstick, Stick Foundation, Crème to Powder Foundation, Loose Setting Powder, Primer Serum), BLK/OPL (Blemish Control Bar, Exfoliating Toner), Kirkland Face Lotion Join the Naked Beauty Community on IG: @nakedbeautyplanet Check out nakedbeautypodcast.com for all previous episodes & search episodes by topicRate, Subscribe & Review the Podcast on Apple Thanks for all the love and support.

Over this past year, it has become clear that the skincare industry has reached an inflection point. The market is incredibly oversaturated, celebrities are launching their own skincare lines each week, and anti-girlboss culture has arrived. Perhaps the most striking events to mark this moment are Emily Weiss’s decision to step down as the CEO of Glossier and Kim Kardashian’s launch of her own nine-product line, SKKN. Tune in as Recho Omondi, thought leader and host of The Cutting Room Floor podcast, stops by for a nuanced conversation on the innovation that Glossier brought to beauty culture as well as what Kim K’s entrance into the skincare game could mean for the industry. Links to Products/Resources Mentioned: Ep.198:Megan O'Neill, My Goop feature, DM roundup on SKKN by Kim K, Le Prunier Plum Oil, Tower 28 Blush, Westman Atelier Blush, Ami Colĕ Lip Oil, Glossier (Stretch Concealer, Cloud Paint, Lip Gloss), epi.logic Cleanser, Paula’s Choice 2% BHA, Youth to the People AHA Toner, Laneige Water Cream, Dr.Jart+ Tiger Cream, Altreno Join the Naked Beauty Community on IG: @nakedbeautyplanet Check out nakedbeautypodcast.com for all previous episodes & search episodes by topicFollow Recho: @omndi Hosted on Acast.
