What happens when the beauty industry tells women they're past their prime, but one of its most recognizable beauty entrepreneurs refuses to buy into it?
This week on The Iconic Midlife, Roxy Manning sits down with legendary makeup artist and beauty entrepreneur Laura Geller, founder of Laura Geller Beauty, for a conversation about aging, confidence, beauty standards, and why women over 40 deserve more than an afterthought from the beauty industry.
Laura has spent decades helping women look and feel their best. From building her namesake beauty brand to championing makeup for mature skin, she's helped change the conversation around what beauty looks like as we age.
Together, Roxy and Laura explore how our relationship with beauty evolves in midlife, why representation matters, and what it really means to feel confident in your own skin.
And, of course, there's plenty of beauty talk along the way.
