Since her early days as a YouTuber, MichellePhan, now 34, has evolved into a multi-hyphenate businesswoman. Read on, here.
The first time I started getting into beauty, I was using my mom’s makeup, because I didn’t have access to my own money or makeup and I just used what she used. Back then, in the ‘90s, makeup was very one note. I was using ugly blue eyeshadow because that’s all I had. Looking back, I’m like, “Oh my gosh, my makeup looks so cringe and bad,” because I didn’t understand color stories. I didn’t understand tones.
Did you have a beauty icon or someone whose approach to beauty you really admired when you were younger? I actually didn’t have a beauty icon. Growing up, being Asian American, I didn’t see someone who looked like me on TV screens. I’ve mentioned this before and people are like, “Well, there was Lucy Liu.” But Lucy Liu doesn’t actually look like me! I had to, in a weird way, become my own beauty icon. I had to experiment: My videos were a place for me to express what I wish I saw and how I saw myself. Nowadays we see beauty as so much more diverse. It’s not this one-size-fits-all look.
