Doechii's Beauty Team On Pushing Creative Boundaries
Doechii's Beauty Team On Pushing Creative Boundaries

Description: If Doechii’s Paris Fashion Week looks had you obsessed, this episode is for you! I had the pleasure of talking with her makeup artist Chelsea Uchenna and hairstylist Malcolm Marquez about their collaboration with the icon in the making. Despite growing up on opposite sides of the world, both artists had innate creative sensibilities, decided early on that they would have careers in beauty, and were inspired by iconic queer and trans communities. In their respective interviews, Chelsea and Malcolm discuss how they came to be part of Doechii’s team and how they help one another push their creative boundaries. They also dish on the behind-the-scenes chaos that resulted in one of the most iconic series of Paris Fashion Week looks ever. While each interview revealed unique differences in their approaches to beauty, they both underscored how important mutual respect is when visionaries collaborate. Tune in as we discuss:Chelsea’s tips for creating flawless dark-skinned glamHow drag queen’s beauty and stage makeup influences themThe engineering process behind Doechii’s connected braids Why we need to see dark-skinned Black women pushing their creative boundaries with color and styleTheir beauty ethos of showing things that aren’t meant to be seenProducts Mentioned:MakeupFresh Oil Infused TonerCharlotte Tilbury Glow TonerKiehl’s Hydro-Plumping Hydrating Serum | All Day Moisturizer | Kiehl’s Avocado Eye CreamDanessa Myricks Universal Blurring Balm | Water Powder SerumFenty Lip BalmLancome Teint Idole FoundationPat McGrath ConcealerHairghd Unplugged Flat IronNeat Crowns Braided WigsRate, Subscribe & Review the Podcast on Apple Thanks for all the love and support.
