Millennial esthetician Elizabeth Taylor invites us in for a weekly conversation that brings the vibe of her beauty studio to life. Elizabeth is joined by experts, friends, and community members to answer listener questions about beauty and skincare that each one of us can relate to, host hilarious segments inspired by her diverse clientele, and share stories about living in a multicultural world. It's beauty school for all -- giving everyone the recipe for How To Be a Beauty Baddie.

The True Beauty Podcast

Welcome to the True Beauty Brooklyn Podcast! Hosted by two old Millenials, Elizabeth Taylor and Alix Shapiro our goal for the TBBP is to create a platform that conveys the narratives lived within our Brooklyn New York neighborhoods, communities, and friends. Our community is made up of diverse, inclusive, socially conscious, funny, empowering, inspiring, smart, hardworking, and driven women and men, however, we don’t see ourselves, or our friends broadly reflected in today’s media landscape. We figured we would be fools if we didn’t at least try to give voices to us! Inspired by what we have seen in the sports news/commentary industry, we believe that in creating a beauty podcast that includes the audience's participation, shares in-depth interviews with women (and some men) who live truly inspiring lives and hosted by two licensed and working beauty professionals of different ethnicities (Elizabeth is black, Alix is Jewish), we can create a truly diverse community. Want to help desegregate an industry that for the past 400 years has been segregated by ethnicity, race, age, and gender? Take a listen, and write us an email to with YOUR questions, comments, or segment submissions, and let's disrupt this $800B industry, one episode at a time. 1. Milk? With your Dinner?! Strange/funny/questionable cultural differences within multicultural relationships 2. I didn't know then, but I'm older now Beauty/life/fashion/career mistakes that we've made in the past and swore was the shit, until we got older/wiser/more stylish/your friends stepped in, as well as things that you should know by your 30's. enough said truebeautybrooklynpodcast@gmail.comThis week's segments: 1.

Celebrity Hair and Make Up Artist Sabrina Rowe Holdsworth

Today we are sitting down with the co-founders of Fur, Laura Schubert, and Lillian Tung. Fur is a company that the two founded in 2016 when they saw a grey area in the body care category. At the time, there were no intimate hygiene products that were beautiful to look at, smelled great, were all-natural, and actually worked to eliminate ingrown hairs that can come with hair removal. Fur Oil, their first product was groundbreaking in that it elevated intimate personal hygiene products by creating an entirely new product category within the body care industry. This line of beautiful products is made specifically for anywhere that skin meets hair. Childhood best friends, the girls met in middle school in their hometown of New York City. They were co-captains of the cheerleading team before attending Harvard for their Undergraduate degree, and then Columbia for their Masters. I know, total underachievers, right? You’ll hear how these two incredible women left their corporate careers to be all- in on this crazy dream of creating a new product category of high end, beautifully crafted, all-natural, cruelty-free, performance-driven, intimate personal care products. The girls are killing it, singlehandedly growing their business into multiple millions of dollars. The company is female-owned, founded and driven, and the girls are so fucking cool, smart, and kind. Do you want to know what it’s like to be an industry pioneer? Try having people hang up on you when you say the words “pubic hair oil”, redialing, and with a smile saying, “I’m sorry! We must have been disconnected! As I was saying, I’m creating a pubic hair oil...” over, and over, and over again. It’s called conviction. And we’re going to learn all about what it takes to build a truly unique brand, how to follow your conviction when people are telling you you’re crazy, and what it’s like to have a lifelong co-founder that just happens to be your best friend.

How To Build a Mission-Based Multi-Million Dollar Body Care Company with Fur Oil co-founders Laura Schubert and Lillian Tung

I’m actually so excited to come back from our hiatus to this episode of The True Beauty Brooklyn Podcast. As Alix and I listened to this interview in preparing to record, we realized that there are things that our incredible guest, Andre Springer recalls that are so striking, and a little haunting considering the timing of the COVID-19 crisis. Andre is the artist behind what we consider the personification of your favorite Auntie, Shaquanda, and the co-founder of the consumer goods company, Shaquanda’s Hot Pepper Sauce. You guys will see what we mean, in that Andre first really started working on his Drag character, Shaquanda during the first financial crisis of our millennial lives, back in 2008. As we listened to this episode, we remembered what it was like during the first times of uncertainty in our adult lives, and how it forced creativity in our generation. The loving, endearing, funny, and beautiful drag character Shaquanda was first created by Andre back in the early 2000’s. As you’ll hear, she was resurrected after the Great Recession when he returned to New York from California and began working in restaurants and nightlife. At the time there weren’t many jobs available, especially within the creative and luxury industries that he had always worked in. When he met his first drag mentor, Linda Simpson host of Gay Jeopardy, a spark was ignited. He was inspired to focus, fusing his creativity, his incredibly friendly and loving personality, the pride of his heritage with the love of his City, and hone his artistic, and design skills. The result is not only a character for the stage, but a consumer goods product to line the shelves of our grocery stores. The logo of brand includes the image of a beautiful, gender-fluid, brown drag queen, sporting the friendliest wide-mouthed smile that you can’t help but smile back at. In our episode Andre is brilliant enough to speak on the importance of equity and equality, (can I get an amen?), the importance of kindness, empathy and of course, representation. You might be thinking, why does representation matter? Off the top of your head, name an American food brand character. HINT: it’s not good when you can name 7 make-believe creatures, and talking animals before you can name a person of color on a food box. I hope that his story is what some of you need to hear today! I think we can all take the message that Andre’s story tells to heart. Now more than ever, we all need to believe in ourselves 100%, even if we don’t know what the road ahead looks like. Just like Andre!

COVID BONUS EP: Origins and laughs

Chantell Cartheroll, owner of bespoke wig company HER'S by Chantell has a gift. She is able to look beyond the faces of the clients that she works with, through the physical structure of their specific features. She then uses that which she sees to create an aesthetic of a person’s aura. Her work as a master wig maker can be seen in Tony-award nominated Motown on Broadway, Spike Lee’s She’s Gotta Have It on Netflix, as well as his Oscar Winning Film, Black KKKlansman. Howeverher true specialty and calling lies beyond these incredible accolades. Chantell’s mastery in seeing a person’s true self allows her to craft magnificent hair pieces, strand by strand, for her clients struggling with medical hair loss such as those with alopecia, and those battling cancer. In our interview Chantell speaks to us about the craft of making a wig, the dedication behind the artistry, and her joy of giving back to the community. She’s an educator as well as practitioner, and speaks on the importance of teaching women of color her craft. As mentioned she worked on John Washington’s wig for KKKlansman, but she also taught the Hair Department Head for the film the art of wig making. Chantell shares how to apprenticed with the best of the best, including working at the diPietro Todd Salon in San Francisco, as well as learning from Master wigmaker to the stars, Joseph Paris--back in the day he made wigs for Elvis Presley! Each of her hair pieces is a one of a kind, masterful work of art. But Before all of that, she was a girl growing up in the Bay area, keeping her hands busy at 16 years old, painting her parents house. Like, their entire house. Scraped, Primed, spakled, top coat and everything. For more information about Chantell and HER'S by Chantell you can visit her website hersbychantell.com or her instagram @hersbychantell .

Chantell Catheroll : Master Wig Maker, Stylist, and the owner of HER'S by Chantell

Welcome to our first COVID Minisode! Since things changed so much so quickly, Alix and I had to brainstorm how to continue the podcast going. We considered things such as what kind of guests to bring in, what we should talk about, and how to stay true to our initial plan of keeping things light and fun, despite the seriousness of our world right now. So we thought to just reach out to our group of friends, that just happen to be New York City’s best and brightest 30somethings, and ask if they wanted to jump on a call with us to shoot the shit, and talk to the world about how they are handling quarantine, how it’s affected their lives, what things if any they’re doing for beauty treatments. We can also lend our expertise and try to help you from making terrible brow and skincare decisions while you’re at home with nothing to do, and lots of time to obsess, pick, and tweeze. Today we’re joined with a guest, friend of the podcast (and Alix's best friend!) Lacie Porta. Lacie is an incredible entrepreneur, a mom to a cute little 4.5-pound poodle, and her husband is an FDNY firefighter. Lacie's company Framed Florals has been featured in publications such as Vogue, Soetheby’s Home, Bridal Musings, Domino, Buzzfeed, and it seems every Bridal publication out there. She also spoke as a Panelist at Mastercard’s Create and Cultivate Small Business Summit in 2019. Lacie talks to us about how quarantine has been affecting her business, what she's doing to stay sane, and what it's like to be the wife of an FDNY firefighter working in the epicenter of the US Coronavirus Pandemic. Don't worry, we lighten the mood with a few segments, listener voicemails, and listener letters!

COVID MINI: What else can you bleach besides a mustache? With Guest, Founder of Framed Florals Lacie Porta

The story that we are sharing today is so special to me, not only because it’s from the woman who inspired me to begin this podcasting journey, but because her’s is a story that every person listening today needs to hear. The first time I interviewed our guest was back in November, but her story is so inspiring and relevant to today’s health crisis, that I asked her if we could re-record and include the current crisis in our conversation. Cassi Lopez is the owner of So Gold Studio, she is arguably the best body piercer in New York City, and she is a warrior. Cassi has been featured in The Coveteur, Refinery29, Nylon, Elite Daily, Allure, Cosmopolitan, Insider, Elle Australia, and The Daily Mail, and her client list includes A-listers such as Game of Thrones actor, Nathalie Emmanuel. But most importantly, Cassi is an 8-time brain surgery survivor. And she is still with us today because she continuously and relentlessly advocated for herself when doctor after doctor sent her home, some even insinuating that she was mentally unstable, all dismissing the fluid that was leaking out of her nose as mucus. She would later learn that it was in fact fluid from her brain leaking out of her nose. Cassi never gave up on herself because she knew herself, and she knew her body, and she knew that something wasn’t right. So she continued advocating for herself until one Independence Day she went to an Urgent Care Walk-In Center and met the Doctor (a woman) who immediately recognized her symptoms, and ultimately saved her life. Now more than ever, living in our Global Community we can see that life isn’t always kind to us all, nor is it fair. But strength comes from adversity, and humans are drawn to those whose stories show the incredibly resilient nature of the human spirit to not only survive but also to thrive. Cassi is certainly one of these angels. After meeting her for the first time over coffee, it became clear to me that hers is a story that holds the secret to life: you have to be your own advocate. This story is intense and can be triggering for some people, as we describe some graphic details about a serious health condition and surgery that Cassi has gone through. For more information about Cassi and So Gold Studios please visit https://sogoldstudios.com/ and be sure to check out her Instagram pages @sogoldbk and @cassisoclassy.

We're back babes! Ok, so this show really isn't divided into seasons, but we might be one of the only Podcasts that begin right on the cusp of COVID19, so we had to do some rethinking, and retooling. ​With so much unknown, the threat of the worst economic depression since The Great Depression, and no signs of a vaccine for many more months to come, the post COVID world is going to look very different than what we are used to.​ ​​ ​BUT WE’VE GOT YOU!​ ​ ​Alix and I realize that some of you might not be able to get your monthly facials or brows, but that doesn’t mean that you should suffer alone!​ ​ ​Our goal moving forward with the True Beauty Brooklyn Podcast is to be your virtual estheticians so we can keep you gorgeous and bomb through whatever budget you may have, just in case we can’t see each other IRL for awhile.​ ​​ ​So while we will move forward and continue to bring you stories and journeys from incredible women as well as fun segments, we want to focus more on educating you on the things that we are experts in, and answering your beauty questions.​ ​ ​This way we know that our girls are still moving through the world feeling incredible, armed with the right knowledge and products, while being apart of a community of women that get you.

Beauty School no 1 : What the F*ck A Proper Skincare Routine Is And Why You Need One

This past week has been very emotional, to say the least, and hopeful to say the most. I once heard Ruth Bader Ginsberg express that the pendulum of change always swings both ways. My friends, I believe that we are on the ascent of that change. In continuing our mission to share the stories of incredible, diverse, resilient, and inspiring women, we are proud to share the story of today's guest with you. Our guest today is celebrity makeup artist and the founder of Lauren Napier Beauty, Lauren Napier. Lauren has worked with some of the world's most famous celebrities, including Academy Award winners, civil rights activists, Olympic gold medalists, indie film darlings, Billboard chart-toppers, silver screen royalty, a Beatle, a Bond and even an American president. Let me play out a scenario that I’m sure has happened to you before: You’re going through your day, as usual, using the same mediocre everyday product that has always left you wanting more. Because you have never found another option, you continue to use it all the while wondering why there still isn’t a better option. Like most great entrepreneurship journey’s, Lauren Napier’s started with this exact breaking point. On a 13 hour flight from Dubai to New York, Lauren was horrified to see an expensive bag of makeup wipes completely dried out. These days Lauren Napier Beauty has been featured in Vogue, Elle, W Magazine, Harper's Bazaar, Essence, InStyle, Pop Sugar, Refinery 29. It can be found internationally online in stores such as Revolve, Harvey Nichols, Net-A-Porter, and Colette Paris. You guys, this girl, and her incredible products are everywhere. I hesitate to use the adjective fearless to describe any person because everybody has fears. But when you speak with Lauren, the woman has so much determination, conviction, grace, and grit, that it’s easy to assume fear does not exist within her.
