Alana has been doing makeup for 12 years. She started fresh out of high school, worked the floor at Sephora's Broadway store, moved to London at 21 with zero plan and a backpack full of kit, built a career doing campaigns for Jaded London, came back to Australia during COVID, assisted the incredible Gillian Campbell, and has most recently been touring the world with Kesha.
Oh, and she's now signed with a talent agency for her content. The girl moves.
In this episode we get into:
Why working retail at Sephora is the best foundation you'll ever get (and why it's also exhausting as hell)
What it's actually like to do hair and makeup in London for an Uber-style beauty app
The Jaded London campaign that changed everything
COVID killing her momentum right when things were starting to move — and coming back from that
Assisting Gillian Campbell and why feeling valued on set matters more than people admit
What a day on tour with Kesha actually looks like (spoiler: you can't poo on the bus)
The longevity routine she used to make Kesha's base last through a full concert
How a TikTok she almost didn't post got her 27,000 followers in a month
Why people don't care who you are on TikTok — they just want to learn something
Everything being an exchange and why that's not a bad thing
What's next: Europe, Canada, America and a product line in the works
