Episode 9 brings us JL Crespo (@xjlcrespo) a young fashion stylist who has done tons of ads, fashion shows, and celebrity events. We sit down and ask him for tips on designing your own style, but JL has a more interesting take: your "flaws" are not flaws and often, the features we are most self-conscious of look great being shown off! Believing that fashion is personal, JL encourages people to try all the styles, even those you are afraid of. Only then will you figure out what looks best on you,

In this episode, we talk about the details you need to consider to find your most flattering outfits, amazing thrifting locations, your number one tip for the best fit, and some ideas for those working from home.

JL also does beauty and skincare, follow him at @guy.skin.

Beautiful makeup is not satisfying if you don't capture it successfully. Ryan Ong (@rynong) is an events and sports photographer, who is also a Sony Philippines Brand Ambassador.

Event photography is so interesting for me, because you rarely have the chance to set up lighting, background, props, or even posing models the way you want them to. Today, Ryan teaches us some valuable tips in chasing the light (chase good light, not harsh light;) composing the subject, foreground, and background; anticipating the moment to be able to shoot in the moment; and finding your angles. Since he only works with ambient and available light, he has some AMAZING tips about making unflattering lighting work. We even talked about making ring lights work, which, in my experience as a beauty content creator, has been giving me that overly harsh look!

Is Physics that far of a reach when it comes to beauty? In this episode, we talk to Nico Moreno (@nixxiaolong410), a Physicist with experience in Material Science. He actually doesn't know too much about makeup, but everyday Physics can be applied in makeup packaging, to better understand how to preserve the quality of our makeup, and keep it from breaking.

From him we learn:

• Pros and cons of sealed vs opened, cardboard vs plastic palettes
• Contaminants that can degrade the quality and integrity of your makeup, and how dry boxes are a great storage option to protect from such.
• Round vs rectangular vs square pans: does it matter?
• Mascara brushes are actually engineered to maximize the user experience! We go through several shapes: S-shaped wand, curved wand, peanut wand, and straight wand. The material also matters.

As Nico emphasizes: freshness and protection from contaminants (air and oil) are of utmost importance! Time your purchases and decant only what you need. Strategize your kit and be Mindful about what you have. Like all consumables, makeup is best enjoyed while consumed fresh. Finally, Nico leaves great advice: question everything! You might not notice it, but it's these little details that can help you have a more joyful makeup journey! Thanks to everyone who watched live and pitched in their comments and experiences!

This week, Tellie Talks to Stacie Chan (@stacienoellechan), a certified K-addict with dibs on Hangeul; Korean makeup and skincare; K-Pop and idols; K-dramas, and even Korean food. With her background as a Physical Therapist PLUS her complete immersion in Korean culture, Stacie is one of the quickest #MindfulMakeup online workshop graduates because of her ready framework in understanding the unique features of her skull and the established K-Beauty techniques that tend to flatter it.

In the same vein, we talk about K-drama stereotypes (the good girl lead and the rich b*tch contra vida):

• Good character design is universal. The sympathetic good girl lead status is emphasized from hair to clothes, to bags, to shoes.
• Ignoring baseline facial features, you can make adjustments to evoke certain personas through eyebrow shape, eyeliner style, foundation finish, lipstick style and colors, and more.
• HD tip: "natural" contouring

Check out more of her in her Youtube channel, Stacie Chan.

This week, Tellie talks to Sam Gonzales (@famamfa), a super talented brand strategist with experience as a graphic designer, photographer, and brand manager. I love breaking down elements of style with her because she has the language to objectively communicate what is intuitively beautiful and why.

With Sam, we talk about:

• The difference between hobbies and professions, and how it's not necessarily fair to critique work that is done for fun. When it's done professionally, as in for a fee or for your lifetime 'profession' though....
• What design principles apply in makeup, and how you can use them. Emphasis doesn't merely apply to typeface.
• Where to get artistic inspiration from (tip: painters shouldn't focus on paintings, and makeup artists shouldn't focus on makeup looks.)

For our first episode of Mindful Makeup, Tellie talks to Den Bengzon (@kobecow), a former beauty editor who took up social sciences, but fell into doing what she loves anyway. Beauty writing, obviously. In this episode, we talk about:

• Falling out of love when love becomes work - As we see in The Devil Wears Prada, the beauty editor life is not that glamorous. It's fun to imagine being an editor for a day, but the rigid demands of work for something you want to enjoy freely can be quite toxic.
• PR etiquette - How should you treat gifts from brands? Setting disclosure policies is a good start, so that a writer can properly convey biases (and surprisingly, objectivity) when speaking to their audience.
• Your value as a content creator - It's easy to feel small when making a space for yourself among brands and beauty communities. Appreciate your own time and effort, and learn to assert your worth.
