About this episode

Sam McKnight discusses the challenges faced by beauty teams and shares insights from his career.

British hairdresser Sam McKnight MBE expands on his bombshell op-ed for Business of Fashion, “Hair and Makeup Artists Need a New Deal.” McKnight (with over 200 British Vogue covers to his name) pulls back the curtain on the business of beauty editorial and explains why artists often don’t get the credit, payment, or even protection that they’re owed. McKnight shares advice for all creatives from how to value yourself first to what a good agent looks like. He also opens up about working with icons like Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel, Lady Gaga, and Princess Diana.            More from Fat Mascara  Instagram:  @fatmascara   @jessicamatlin   Shop the products mentioned on Fat Mascara:  https://shopmy.us/shop/fatmascara   Private Facebook Group:  Fat Mascara Raising a Wand   Submit a Raise a Wand product recommendation, guest suggestion, or just say hello:  info@fatmascara.com       Production for this Podcast Provided by Redd Rock Music  IG:  @reddrockmusic    www.reddrockmusic.com Hosted on Acast.
