    This is it, you guys.... This is the RAVEN episode!

    I was thrilled to find myself spending time with Raven to discuss the new season of "Touch Ups with Raven" premiering on WOW Presents Plus June 10. We delved into Raven's journey in the world of drag and makeup artistry. Raven's career began much earlier than her time on Drag Race, with a passion for makeup that sparked at a young age. Growing up in Victorville, California, captivated by the transformative power of makeup, experimenting with cosmetics... a star was born. This early fascination paved the way for a remarkable career that now includes working side by side with royalty- RuPaul.

    During our conversation, Raven shared the emotional experience of receiving the call to become RuPaul's personal makeup artist and we also learn the elements involved in the signature "Raven Beat". We also discussed the importance of energy matching in the makeup chair, highlighting how Raven and RuPaul create a comfortable and collaborative atmosphere. This synergy allows them to enjoy the process while achieving stunning results, demonstrating the significance of a positive working relationship in the beauty industry.

    As Raven prepares for the new season of "Touch Ups with Raven," we talked about the importance of continuous learning and experimentation in makeup artistry. Raven reminds us that aspiring artists need to embrace trial and error, as this is the key to finding one's unique style. With so much excitement surrounding Raven's work and the upcoming season, listeners are in for a treat.

Yes- Erica, though younger than I, was my trainer at the MAC Counter when we were just kids. I immediately invited her onto the podcast to fill me in on her AMAZING career and all that has happened since then, including gaining over 1 million followers on IG and more on TikTok. She also shares with me her IT Cosmetics faves and plently of those amazing tips that she is famous for. This is a really fun one, you guys. Enjoy!
