Redefining Beauty Standards and Empowering Self-Expression with Armand Beasley

Beauty has always been a subjective and evolving concept. What we perceive as beautiful is often influenced by societal norms, cultural values, and personal experiences. In recent years, there has been a growing movement to challenge conventional beauty standards and embrace diversity in all its forms.

In this episode, Rajan Nazran is joined by a friend, Armand Beasley, a renowned makeup artist and beauty expert from Britain, and also known for his contribution to “How to Look Good Naked”. As we progress through the conversation, we will explore the journey of Armand Beasley and how he has been challenging our concept of beauty, making a significant impact on the beauty industry in Britain.
