EP01: The Early Years and Betting on Yourself with Patrick Ta

Talk about pivoting in a pandemic: Tik Tok sensation Mikayla Nogueira popped off (literally) in the spring of 2020, and her star has steadily risen since. In this incredibly inspiring episode of Colourful, she opens up about her humble beginnings as a makeup obsessed 10 year-old, her formative college years, and how a video of farm animals kicked a wildly successful beauty career on camera.

We recorded this episode just hours after Kristi’s ColourPop collaboration was announced. Share in the joy and pure excitement she exudes when talking about her collection, her miracle baby, and the sacrifices it took to design her life exactly the way she wanted it (hint: they paid off)!

Trixie Mattel is a drag queen extraordinaire, New York Times best selling author, singer songwriter, comedian, and reality TV star who grew up in a small town in the Midwest. She is no stranger to adversity and continues to redefine what it means to be a “multi-hyphenate”. Join us in this Colourful conversation where we discuss trusting your gut, betting on yourself, and staying true to your vision no matter what anyone says.

In this episode of Colourful we talk to celebrity MUA, Michael Anthony (@manthony783). Michael shares what makes for a magical alchemy with clients like Ariana Grande, Katy Perry and dives into what it means to be an energy giver rather than an energy taker both on social media and in real life. We chat all things manifestation, meditation, positive energy, and finally, Michael shares his process for finding inspiration. 

In this episode we sit down with renowned celebrity makeup artist and beauty entrepreneur, Patrick Ta. Patrick's client list includes stars like Gigi and Bella Hadid, Shay Mitchell, Addison Rae, Joan Smalls, Jessica Alba, and more. When he's not painting faces, Patrick continues to expand his recently launched global beauty brand, Patrick Ta Beauty. Today we talk about the bumpy road that led to his success, where Patrick shares some never before shared stories, and talk about his philosophy on makeup artistry and life.
