Are You Shopping For Makeup The Right Way? Beauty School is in Session with Product Developer Pros, and TikTok Stars, “The Lipstick Lesbians” aka Alexis Androulakis and Dr. Christina Basias Androulakis

Breaking Beauty Podcast

Partners in TikTok and in marriage, Alexis Androulakis and Dr. Christina Basias Androulakis are the creative minds behind The Lipstick Lesbians universe. In just one year, Alexis, a seasoned expert in product development, and Dr. Christina, an award-winning educator with a Ph.D. in Education and Technology, have earned a community of nearly one million followers with their next-level product “evaluations”– live from the aisles of Sephora. Tune in today as we learn to shop for makeup like a product development pro ourselves.

You’ll find out:

• What to expect from their upcoming, beauty literacy course, “Beauty Mastery: Transform into a Product Developer & Consumer Genius,” coming soon!
• The reason you should look at where a product is made before your next makeup purchase
• What makes a product an instant red flag on a store shelf
• Why SPF “doping” is the latest product trend we’ve seen this year, and whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing
• The product trends they think will pop off in 2025

Pssst! Be sure to check out our Tiktok where The Lipstick Lesbians will play a little game of “red flag” vs “green flag” when it comes to buying your makeup!
