Summary
Whether it’s a soft beat or a Met Gala glamour moment, putting on makeup can inspire confidence and unleash the inner baddie within many of us. Welcome back to another installment of our January Jumpstart series – designed to make 2025 one of your best years yet. You’ll want to grab a notepad, a mirror, and maybe a little setting spray as we explore how beginners can kickstart their makeup journey — while not forgetting that true beauty lies within. Joining me for this conversation is the artist, creative director, and makeup maestro, Sir John. Sir John is the visionary behind iconic looks for legends like Beyoncé, Naomi Campbell, and Serena Williams and is also a Creative Director, Business Executive, and TV Host.
During our conversation, we discussed his journey of becoming a makeup mogul, shares some of his favorite makeup hacks (including a few Beyoncé-approved tips), and emphasizes the importance of developing a personal relationship with makeup that’s undeterred by trends or societal pressures.
