The FIT Woman Podcast Episode 17: Skin Deep

podcast Feb 12, 2026
 

What if the way you apply makeup could actually support your skin — not damage it?

In this fascinating episode, Tania is joined by Yolanda Halston, professional makeup artist, beauty industry innovator, and founder of NV Beauty, for a behind-the-scenes look at skin, aging, confidence, and the evolution of beauty.

With over 30 years of experience and a portfolio that includes more than 1,000 films, TV shows, editorial shoots, and celebrity clients, Yolanda has seen firsthand what truly works on real skin — and what doesn’t. Her career as a Hollywood makeup artist inspired her to challenge outdated beauty norms and create smarter, skin-respecting solutions that perform at the highest level.

Yolanda shares how working with clients undergoing skin treatments pushed her to ask a revolutionary question: How can makeup look flawless without touching or damaging the skin? That curiosity led to category-defining innovations, including the world’s first patented aerosol foundation and the clean, long-wearing LIP PRINT stain.

Together, Tania and Yolanda explore the intersection of beauty, skin health, confidence, and self-expression — especially for women navigating aging, sensitivity, and changing skin needs.

In this episode, you’ll hear them discuss:

  • Why traditional makeup often works against aging or sensitive skin
  • How skin changes over time — and why application matters as much as ingredients
  • The story behind NV Foundation and its breakthrough delivery system
  • Why less friction and cleaner formulas matter for skin health
  • The truth about long-wear lip products and why most dry lips out
  • How beauty can support confidence without covering who you are
  • Why innovation in beauty often comes from empathy, not vanity

This episode is perfect for women who care about skin health, want smarter beauty solutions, and believe confidence should feel effortless — not forced.

Key Takeaways

Great makeup starts with respecting the skin.
Application techniques matter just as much as ingredients.
Aging skin requires innovation, not heavier coverage.
