Show Notes

Kelli Anne Sewell is a celebrity makeup artist known for creating effortless, camera-ready glam that enhances your natural features.

She joins me to break down how to actually do your makeup so it looks good in real life and on camera. We get into underpainting, the 5-minute face, and how to achieve that dewy, “filtered” skin without looking cakey or overdone.

Kelli shares her go-to techniques, drugstore favorites, best under-$30 products, and the biggest mistakes most of us are making—from lip lining to powder to eye makeup. We also talk about the trends she’s over, what’s actually worth it, and how to think about makeup as “you, but hotter.”

Plus, we get into celebrity looks (Margot Robbie vs J.Lo), face taping, Botox, lymphatic drainage, and how to make your makeup last all day.
