The Makeup Show Podcast With Danessa Myricks & James Vincent

Danessa Myricks and James Vincent are two of the most respected makeup artists working in the industry today, and their podcast is essentially an open-door conversation about the craft, the business, and the people who shape it. Danessa built her own beauty brand from scratch and has become one of the most influential artists in recent memory. James has spent years as an educator and director of artistry for The Makeup Show, training pros all over the world. Together they bring a combined perspective that few other hosts can match. Episodes feature conversations with makeup artists, brand founders, editorial legends, and the working professionals behind music videos, films, and red carpets. The focus stays on the practical side of the industry. How do you build a kit on a budget? How do you negotiate a rate? What does it take to transition from freelance to full-time? They also spend real time on inclusion, on representation in the industry, and on the artists whose contributions have been overlooked for years. For anyone working in makeup artistry or hoping to break in, the show functions as a kind of ongoing mentorship. Listeners who are simply fans of makeup will still find plenty to enjoy, particularly the stories from decades-long careers behind the scenes. Episodes are hosted on Buzzsprout and drop on a reliable schedule, and the back catalog goes deep enough to be worth binging by topic or by guest.
