Ep. 63: Faking it - from dark circles and concealer to problematic deep faking

This is kind of a newsy episode; kind of an update on what’s changed since my last few episodes, where I’ve discussed trends with my guests or on my solo shows. It's pretty short and sweet and focuses on:

The new trend for drawing on dark circles underneath the eyes, something that recent guest Sonia Valencia and I quickly dismissed in episode 61; how more makeup artists are choosing to work solely with concealer, even challenging themselves to use it to create a full face. And I also express my discomfort in receiving so many compliments when I got deep faked as Sophia Loren and Kim Kardashian, but also discuss why the developers of apps such as Reface don't consider a variety of skin tones when it comes to their 'innovations'.

As always I would love if you could subscribe, review and rate the podcast - your support means so much. Also, I would love to know which brands and individuals you would like to see when it comes to beauty and wellness? I feel that, more and more the two industries are becoming intertwined, and to me it makes a lot of sense.
