Ep. 288: Sleepless nights and many flights - what it’s like to be a MAC Cosmetics Senior Makeup Artist with Vilde Feste

Today I’ve got the wonderful Vilde Feste, MAC Cosmetics Nordic Senior Artist as my guest. Vilde lives in Copenhagen and through her work as a makeup artist she covers Denmark, Iceland, Sweden, Finland and Norway as well as working backstage at some of the most exciting shows at the international fashion weeks. For me Vilde is the queen of the lip combo so I really wanted to find out more about her inspirations. In this episode Vilde shares on how growing up in a small city in Norway and constantly playing with her image meant that she always stood out. I love how Vilde's story takes us from the time she bought her very first MAC Lipglass, to how she ended up being a Senior Artist for the brand. Along the way she shares on the benefits of living in Copenhagen and why she could never give it up for a  move to New York or London.
