Deepica Mutyala on Building A Complexion Brand For Everyone
When she was a baby, Deepica Mutyala was exposed to the cultural significance of eyeliner. While the eyeliner was swiped behind her ear for spiritual protection, this and other cultural beauty rituals would shape her future in beauty. Growing up in an immigrant family, Deepica felt the pressure to pursue a stable career that would help her achieve the American Dream. She explains why she is so grateful for her parents' support when she decided to take an unconventional approach, even when they didn’t fully understand how vlogging would pay the bills. Eventually, she built Live Tinted, a business that healed her inner teen, who wanted to fit in with her blonde and blue-eyed peers in Texas.In 2015, Deepica shared a viral video showing how she hid dark circles. She built a community around that momentum and later committed to developing products that met their needs. In her work, Deepica became the representation of South Asians that she had always wanted for a global community of followers, who later became customers. She drew on her early experiences watching her mom repurpose makeup that hadn’t been made with her in mind to create easy-to-use and multifunctional products that sell every 3 minutes. Listen to learn more about how Deepica’s thoughtful approach to beauty has led her from the Today Show to having a custom Barbie, and how it feels to have built the business she grew up needing.

Lymphatic Drainage, Gut Health, and Holistic Skincare ft Shani Hillian
Shani Hillian’s holistic skincare journey began in her grandmother’s garden, where fresh-cut aloe was the go-to balm for skin issues. Now, with over 17 years of experience as an esthetician, she leverages her roots in holistic skincare to create rituals that restore balance for herself and her clients. Shani shared her experience of transitioning from hair styling to skincare, influenced by her modeling career, and discussed the importance of simple, effective skincare routines. Our conversation also covered Shani’s experience with pregnancy-related hair loss and her tips for skin-friendly nutrition, emphasizing balance rather than strict restrictions. And I couldn’t let Shani leave without getting all her expert skincare tips. She explained the benefits of oil cleansers, how to find non-comedogenic oils, and the philosophy behind her minimalist approach to skincare. She also discussed the impact of lifestyle habits, such as exercise and nutrition, on skin health.

The Patriarchy & Beauty Standards ft. Dr. Anna Tubbs
Dr. Anna Malaika Tubbs knows that the power of women’s activism can change the course of history. In Three Women she explored how Berdis Baldwin, Alberta King, and Louise Little’s motherly love prepared their sons to become renowned activists. This week, we’re chatting about her new book, Erased: What American Patriarchy Has Hidden from Us. In it, Dr. Tubbs explores how our Founding Fathers enshrined patriarchy into law, with the intention of building a nation for men. During our conversation, we discussed how American patriarchy extends into every part of our lives, including our beauty choices. Dr. Tubbs was raised as a confident globetrotter. Her time spent traveling the world informed how she viewed herself and how beauty standards varied across cultures. She shared that despite positive affirmations from her family about her intelligence and beauty, self-confidence wasn’t always modeled. She regained a strong sense of confidence in college and began to consider why patriarchal beauty standards rely on us hating ourselves. She would come to explore how American culture shapes meaning about women and the limited choices that women have been offered historically in Erased. Her curiosity and knowledge led us seamlessly through conversations about how she models confidence for her children, why technology reproduces existing beauty standards, and why weight loss trends tell us very little about health. Dr. Tubbs reminds us that while we should be aware of patriarchy’s influence on our choices, we are not powerless.Tune in as we discuss:The book that helped shape her understanding of patriarchy in the U.S.Who tried to prevent the Founding Fathers from excluding women from the ConstitutionWhat history tells us about women beautifying themselves without male inputThe relationship between facial dysmorphia and ageismImagining a better future for ourselves and our children Hosted on Acast.
