Alexandra French is back! Every makeup artist’s favorite makeup artist returns to catch us up on everything since her last visit. We get into her WOYF staples (she brought her entire makeup bag with her!) and why she approaches makeup through the lens of character and storytelling. We also talk about how TikTok has made her better at her job, what brands are doing right (and wrong) from a MUA perspective, and her thoughts on Euphoria season 3 glam. Plus, she shares behind-the-scenes truths from working across film and fashion, and answers your listener questions, including the makeup tips you actually want to know.
