Ep. 121: Kym Lee, CEO Of Wink N Pout, Shares Her Journey From Pre Law To A 25+ Year Career As A Celebrity MUA
On this episode of the Friends in Beauty podcast I welcome, Celebrity Makeup Artist and Cosmetics Entrepreneur, Kym Lee to the Friends in Beauty guest chair. Kym Lee is a highly sought out National Glam and Style Influencer and has been painting beautiful faces for over 25 years. Inspired by the ability of makeup to transform and boost self-confidence from the board-room to the red carpet, Kym’s career path has come full circle as a Best Selling Author, Beauty Correspondent (Fox 5, Radio One, and BET), Educator, and Beauty Brand developer (WinknPout Cosmetics).
Some of her notable clients include: Whitney Houston, Angela Bassett, Kerry Washington, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Venus and Serena Williams, Regina King, Mary Mary, Tasha Cobbs, and many more.
Kym affectionately calls her makeup case her pulpit as an Ordained Elder who has a Masters in Divinity and an Honorary Doctorate in Christian Studies and Marketplace Ministry. Her daily mantra is “I teach and encourage women to Clear it Up instead of covering it up”.
I had such an amazing conversation with Kym. In this interview she shares:
-Her transition from law school to becoming a Makeup Artist
-How she was one of the original MAC girls from 30 years ago
-The importance of developing relationships with other Artists and forming collaborations
-The consequences and lessons learned from neglecting her health
-Her plans for retirement
-And so many priceless gems sprinkled throughout
It was truly a pleasure to have Kym on the Friends in Beauty Podcast and it was such a full circle moment for me. I’ve been following her journey for years and I even shared my story with her about how she inspired me to become a Makeup Artist many years ago. You gotta hear it. Let’s go ahead and jump into this chat with Kym and if you prefer to watch our beautiful faces then tune in on YouTube.
