This week, we’re joined by makeup artist (and hairstylist!) Jillian Dempsey. Jillian tells us how she got into cosmetology and we discuss the launch of her new beauty app, FYFE. She also reveals the must-have beauty tool that she uses to smooth out wrinkles, increase circulation, and prep the skin for makeup. Plus, we get the inside scoop on Jillian’s favorite Japanese beauty products. Also in this episode: the week’s beauty news, how to take care of your bikini line at home, and what the new salon experience will be like post-pandemic.
