Beauty Me with Charisse Kenion

Beauty writer and photographer Charisse Kenion presents a series of podcasts that are all about beauty – how it interlinks with wellness, how we’re measured by it, what we choose to spend on it and more. Most importantly, this is beauty, beyond the BS.

This week’s guest is New York-based makeup artist Jonet Williamson. I’ve been a fan of hers for a while now and love her approach to makeup. Watching her apply makeup on her Instagram Lives is often like watching a scientist or perhaps an architect, as she’s clearly viewing her face – her canvas – with an analytical mind.

In this episode I wanted to find out how Jonet’s hometown of New Orleans informed her career choices and set her on the path to artistry – even though she had already decided on studying pre-med.

Jonet shares advice for budding makeup artists trying to hone in on their style and breaks down what a Southern ‘beat face’ really is. She also discusses the differences between makeup in the South and makeup in New York.

Be sure to head to my Instagram @beautymepodcast to see some outtake videos and follow Jonet @jonetwmakeup to see all of her amazing looks and regular Lives on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
