Customer Reviews
Inspired and entertained!
I’ve been a special effects makeup artist in IATSE for only four great years, I got in the union when I was 22 and wanted this to be my career since I was 14. I wish so badly that this podcast existed back then when I was a kid, but am so happy that this platform exists for young people that want to purse a career in hair and makeup in film and television. Every episode is so informative and inspiring, and Jaime is an excellent host. A great podcast for people in every stage of our industry!
