Gloss AngelesAbout this episode
Take our survey! http://bit.ly/glossangeles-survey Have a question about the beauty industry? Chances are, it’s covered in this episode. Our guests today are one of our favorite accounts to follow due to their thorough, fun and accurate content: The Lipstick Lesbians ! Product developer Alexis Androulakis and education technology expert Dr. Christina Basias Androulakis join us on the pod — we wish we had several more hours to interview them! They share how nearing bankruptcy ultimately lead to their success (and why you shouldn’t self-fund your own brand if at all possible), how Christina encouraged Alexis to begin making content about where products come from and how they work, and then answer listener-submitted questions, including why removing talc has ruined so many of our favorite powder products, why do some products look one way in the bottle but different on the skin, how to find your perfect foundation color match, how tariffs are going to affect product development in the beauty space, and why so many brands launch the same products within a short period of time. Plus, they reveal more about LLab — an 8-hour online master class with a framework developed by Christina and taught by Alexis that shares the nuance of products and is a tool to help everyone from consumers to experts.
