Welcome to the first episode in my new series Skin First. Having access to the best in the business, it only made sense that I would start a miniseries all about skin, and Jaleesa Jaikaran is the perfect place to start. Check out her Instagram and you will see exactly why! Not only is Jaleesa's skin glowing and healthy; she's committed to creating the same for her work clients on set.
While she was born in New York, Jaleesa grew up in Trinidad, so of course I had to find out how Trinidad might have influenced the colours and textures she still loves today. Jaleesa shares how YouTube and magazines showed her a different way of looking at makeup, before she went on to working at MAC Cosmetics, where she really learned all about skin.
In this episode Jaleesa shares her perfect skin prep, whether it's for an editorial shoot, an event, or even a performance, plus helpful tips and tricks and the products she reaches for on the regular. She also warns against becoming a product junkie and instead advises all of us to just look at what our own skin really needs. Did I mention that she's also the founder of the BIGGEST beauty club on Clubhouse?? Check her out in The Beauty Room.
FYI: we talked about so many products that I cannot fit them all in here! Please visit my site charissekenion.co to find links to every single product mentioned. In the meantime be sure to follow me over @beautymepodcast on Instagram and I would love if you could take the time to review and subscribe as it really helps BeautyMe be seen.
