    Episode 265 - Jeanine Lobell - Make-up Artist & Founder of Neen - From Circus Dreams to Beauty Queen: Jeanine’s Journey from Stardom to Sustainable Beauty

    Celebrity makeup artist and founder of sustainable beauty brand Neen, Jeanine Lobell once dreamed of joining the circus—a far cry from enhancing the beauty of stars like Cate Blanchett, Natalie Portman and Nicole Kidman. In this ‘Artistry Wisdom’ episode of the “Where Brains Meet Beauty” podcast, we explore the journey of one of independent beauty's true pioneers. From embracing mindfulness to cementing her status as an icon in the cultural zeitgeist, Jeanine shares valuable insights and reflections on her remarkable career.With over two decades of experience, Jeanine has expertly navigated the “circus” of life, artistry, and entrepreneurship, gracefully balancing and leaping through the ups and downs of her career. Her natural ability to "tune out the noise" early in her journey, coupled with a strong intuition and a deep recognition of her artistic talents, has led to a remarkable trajectory. Her work has graced the covers of Vogue, W, Vanity Fair, and Harper’s Bazaar, cementing her status as an industry icon. Yet, beyond her professional achievements lies a rich life and a sense of identity that transcends her work.This perspective and outlook on life inspired the creation of her brand Stila, founded in 1994. Stila revolutionized makeup by championing it as a vessel for culture and community with its innovative paper packaging and formulas. The brand's acquisition by Estée Lauder Companies in 1999 was a monumental achievement for Lobell’s independent vision.Today, Jeanine continues to break new ground with Neen, her sustainable, subscription-based beauty brand that challenges conventional beauty standards. In an industry that never stops, Jeanine truly embodies the role of ringleader in her own circus and we loved learning more about her journey!Tune in to this week's episode on your favorite podcast platform to hear more.
