On this week’s episode, we sit down with Allure’s editor in chief Michelle Lee, an influential force in the beauty industry thanks to her job (obviously) and her personal Instagram feed, @heymichellelee. We discuss her start in beauty and how her vision of diversity and inclusivity has modernized Allure. Plus, she shares her favorite products and tips and tricks for the perfect, long-lasting manicure. Also on this episode: Our thoughts on Kendall Jenner’s announcement that she’s a Proactiv spokesperson; fixes for hair flyaways; and a controversial conversation about sunscreen based on this article from Outside Magazine.
