Today I’m talking with Camille Della-Santina, an inspiring makeup artist, business owner, and creator of Silc Skin products. Camille is a client at my spa in LA, and I’m so excited every time she comes in to see me, because I think she’s just fascinating, and she has some truly great stories from her 25 years as an Emmy Award-winning makeup artist.

Listen in as Camille and I talk about how she found her place in this tricky industry, the celebrities she has worked with, and why she has mostly transitioned out of that career and become a business owner and product inventor.
