Your posture, your pace, your eye contact, your clothes, your materials and even the way you hand something over can all say, "I am prepared, capable and worth listening to." Trust rarely starts with a grand statement. More often, it begins with tiny signals that feel reassuring before anyone has explained a thing.
In the world of makeup and skincare, the 2020s have been defined by little to no visible product on the face. “Clean girl” minimalism and the “no make-up make-up look” have long lapped the 2010s passion for big, blocky eyebrows, cut creases with thick eyeliner, blinding highlighter and overdrawn lips. As someone who began her makeup journey during that heavy, colorful era, I yearn for the days when people wanted to go outside wearing more than the latest in an endless parade of lip oils.

A busy nail tech might repeat that motion a hundred times a day yet ask what's actually inside the pot of powder, and most people, professionals included, come up short.
