How to Find Your Purpose with Makeup Art...

Jennifer Sullivan & Jessica Matlin
About this episode

Makeup artist Laura Mercier shares the inspiring story of how she changed her birth name, left France, and came to America to restart her life—and all the lessons she learned along the way. We talk about the ’90s in New York City; her work with Steven Meisel and longtime clients like Madonna and Julia Roberts; what gave her the inspiration to start her complexion-focused makeup line (Secret Camouflage! Tinted Moisturizer!); plus, dessert and Buddhism and everything else in between. If you’re at a crossroads in life or feeling stuck or stagnant, this is the interview to listen to! We hope Laura’s story gives you the boost you need to believe in yourself and move forward.
