Ep. 303: Behind the scenes in the fashion industry; why fashion needs to stand for something and why some white makeup artists don’t work on dark skin tones, with makeup artist Juho Lehiö

This episode is an interview with makeup artist Juho Lehiö. Based in Copenhagen, Juho’s work first caught my eye on TikTok and I fell in love with his style, even though if I had to, I think I would find it hard to pinpoint.

He has often worked alongside the brilliant Inge Grognard, my favourite anti-fashion makeup artist, as well as the icon that is Pat McGrath – so I feel like he knows how to do any look, from the most simple and deconstructed to the most creative, refined look.

We cover a lot in this episode; from Juho purchasing his first Wet and Wild makeup palette to learning how to treat his skin like a 60-year old woman, to how theatre and dance influenced his take on makeup and also how he’s noticed that some makeup artists backstage at fashion week don’t want to work on models with black or brown skin.

We also discuss the value of feedback when it comes to your work and how you can stand against oppression when you work in the fashion space.

Also, be sure to listen all the way to the end because I share a special announcement!
