Trump’s Tariffs Could Ruin Your Makeup Bag: A Chat with the Lipstick Lesbians

from The Parting Shot with H. Alan Scott

What do rising beauty prices and a full beat have in common? Trump’s tariffs. In this episode, we break down how the beauty industry could be the next casualty in the ongoing trade war — from skyrocketing costs on imported cosmetics to the impact on your go-to lipstick shades. Joining us to unpack the glam and the gloom are the fabulous Lipstick Lesbians themselves: Alexis Androulakis and Christina Basias Androulakis. Industry leaders and content creators, the Lipstick Lesbians have become not only the internet’s go-to beauty experts, but also disruptors in the beauty space, bridging the gap between brands and consumers in a revolutionary way. (They’re also just really fun.) You can listen to the full chat with the Lipstick Lesbians on the Parting Shot Podcast with H.
