How to Be Powerful in The Beauty Community: Step Up Your Responsibility to Be More Than Cute, Quiet, and Agreeable with Emmy Award-Winning Makeup Artist, Andrew Sotomayor

Hey dudes! I can't say enough about this week's conversation with the incredible, Emmy winning makeup artist, the founder of Oracle Jayne Station, and the host of "Masters of Makeup", Andrew Sotomayor. Andrew won his first Emmy for Saturday Night Live in 2017, was nominated for an Emmy for Jesus Christ Superstar Live in 2018, and nominated again for Ryan Murphy's "Pose" in 2019. He is the makeup department head for The Other Two on HBO Max, and John Mulaney and the Sack Lunch Bunch on Netflix. He's the makeup and tattoo designer for "West Side Story" on Broadway, has worked 22 seasons of New York Fashion Week, and made up dozens of celebrities including Grammy-winning singers, three daughters of two US presidents, one presidential candidate, one knight, one dame, some of the most powerful female executives in business, and eight Academy Award-winning actors. WHEW! We haven't even gotten to how incredibly profound and thoughtful he is, or how dedicated to community-building within the LGBTQ+ and historically marginalized communities, the people who make up many of us working in the beauty industry. I absolutely adored this conversation, because it is the exact kind of open dialog that we were hoping to have and be able to share with our listeners when Alix and I first launched the pod.
