The Inimitable Isamaya Ffrench on Her Well-Rounded Beauty Career, AI, and Creating

In this episode, Sara sits down with Isamaya Ffrench, boundary-pushing makeup artist, creative director, and founder of Isamaya Beauty. She shares how it all began with painting faces at kids’ birthday parties, and the wild, wonderful road that led her to creating unforgettable looks for Rihanna and redefining the rules of beauty. From her early influences in 3D art and industrial design to the moment she finally felt “seen” in the industry, Isamaya reflects on the evolution of her artistry, her brand’s journey to Sephora, and the five products she always keeps in her kit.
