‘I’ve never been a massive fan of that overly made up aesthetic. One of the make-up tips that I live or die by is that you should always keep one feature of your face free from make-up and that way it never looks completely made up – and it always looks a tiny bit more modern.’ Sam Chapman
I’d imagine if you’re into make-up, you’ll already know all about youtube royalty Sam and Nic Chapman, aka Pixiwoos. But in case you don’t, here’s the quickest of quick run downs: both sisters started their career working as make-up artists before uploading videos to YouTube showing how to achieve different make-up looks. Within two years, they had amassed 30,000 subscribers. From there, they launched their make-up tools brand, Real Techniques.
They talk about this journey in this episode of Beauty Full Lives, along with a everything from the products they loved as teens to how they got started in the industry to their feelings about ageing – and how they stay sane while under such scrutiny.
