Episode Summary
Episode Summary
What if your next chapter look like if you truly felt good about exactly who you are?
In this episode, Holly sits down with makeup artist Sal Rodriguez, whose twenty-year career has painted faces, built confidence, and proven that reinvention is always possible. From his first job at Nordstrom to leading makeup teams for global brands like NARS, Sal shares the story of leaving the safety of a dream job to build something entirely his own.
They talk about the fear that comes with starting over, the art of reading people beyond their selfies, and why originality (not trends) is still the boldest look in the room.
This is a conversation about trusting your craft, knowing your worth, and how to truly feel good... in your own skin.
