In this episode of Sorry, It’s Discontinued, Hilary sits down with Texas-based makeup artist Martin Vain to talk about how he first got into the beauty industry and the career path that followed.
From early inspiration watching his mom get ready to discovering artistry through drag makeup and beauty videos, Martin’s passion for makeup started young. That passion eventually led him into the retail beauty world, working with stores like Ulta, Sephora, and Nordstrom and brands including NARS, Natasha Denona, and Charlotte Tilbury.
Hilary and Martin talk about his journey behind the counter, the evolution of his career as a makeup artist and educator, and what it takes to keep your passion alive in the beauty industry.
Have a seat, hit follow, and let’s get to know Martin.
