Naked Beauty

Before the word “influencer” even entered our vocabulary, Rocky Barnes was on Instagram, slowly but surely building a community and showing off her incredible sense of style. After entering the modeling industry in college and being told that she was “too fit” and a little “too brown,” Rocky decided to set her own path. Today, as a new mom and visionary for unisex clothing brand The Brightside, she is KILLING IT.

Charlotte Palermino, CEO of Dieux Skin and self-proclaimed skincare fairy godmother, is here to make you rethink ALL of the beauty rules that we have subscribed to (oftentimes, without question). After jumping on board the clean beauty train in the mid-2000s only to find her skin more irritable than ever, Charlotte realized just how tricky beauty marketing could be. Today as a beauty founder, licensed aesthetician, and “reformed clean beauty buyer,” Charlotte’s approach to the industry is extremely nuanced and a good reminder that this good vs. evil skincare thing is really not serving us as consumers. Tune in for an unforgettable conversation unpacking the myths around daily exfoliation, DIY skincare, beauty regulations, and of course, sunscreen.

Before Sheena Yaitanes decided to pursue her dream and establish her own beauty company, the world of clean makeup was well...lacking. Color schemes were dull and payoff was very weak. That is, until Kosas came on the scene. With bright pigments and gorgeous ingredient lists full of clean, active ingredients, these products have become absolute staples in my makeup bag. Tune in for a fabulous interview with Sheena in which we discuss the brand’s origin story, her love of creating makeup, and how she is working to build a stigma-free and inclusive work environment.
