Episode Description: While many can easily identify Sir John as makeup artist to some of the most influential women in the world, few know exactly how he got there and - perhaps even more interestingly - how he’s managed to stay grounded through it all. With a name that’s fit for a king, one could argue that Sir John was destined for a career focused on highlighting the power and the beauty that surrounds him. Tune in for an incredibly intimate interview where we discuss:

Fresh from my trip back in New York, I reflect on all that’s happened this week. My very first Naked Beauty product has launched! I designed the ultimate cashmere robe for self-care with Garin. Designing this robe with my good friend Negarin has been many months in the making and every little detail was considered to make this piece a true luxury. I’m happy to share we’re offering international shipping on this limited-edition item and a handful of discount codes are still active if you enter code Brooke15 at checkout.
After a few days in the city, we transitioned to Sag Harbor where I’ve grown up visiting my whole life. I was honored to get the opportunity to speak to and learn from the people of the Shinnecock Nation, the Native Territory of the Indigenous Americans of Southampton. I was able to sit down with the chairman of Shinnecock Nation, Brian Polite, and hear his perspective on Thanksgiving and their unique native culture. And if this week wasn’t full enough, I landed in LA and went straight to the world premiere of Renaissance: a film by Beyonce! Tune in to hear my experience at the premiere and takeaways from the film.

After seven years of telling incredible beauty stories and building a passionate community of beauty fanatics, I’ve watched this show evolve beyond my wildest dreams. P.S.

With such brand evolution comes the need for innovation. Which is exactly why I turned to my dear friend Madison Utendahl of Utendahl Creative to help with an official Naked Beauty rebrand. Tune in as I sit down with her and designer Tori Baisden to discuss the entire process behind our rebrand as well as their business philosophy at the agency. Whether it’s their commitment to cultivating a safe and diverse environment for female designers, fonts, “blanding,” or productive client feedback, these two are here to break down every aspect of the branding process.
