Ep. 197: A Conversation With The Key Makeup Artist For The Color Purple
Manage episode 391918904 series 2936826
On this episode of the Friends in Beauty podcast I welcome Ngozi Olandu Young to the Friends in Beauty guest chair. Emmy nominated/ award winning makeup artist and entrepreneur, Ngozi, known to most as “Gozi”, radiates the world with her remarkable creativity and positive attitude. Through the influence of her rich Nigerian culture, the American raised artist fell in love with beauty and production at a very young age. She was deeply inspired by the vibrant details of her family’s stories and garments, which led to the variant textures, colors and polished looks seen throughout her beauty application and designs.
Ngozi has been blessed to work on projects like HBO’s Watchmen, The Wire, High Flying Bird, House of Cards, Step Up 2, Game Change, Jackie, Bessie & Mare of Easttown , where she earned 2 Emmy nominations, We Own This City, where she won the first ever NAACP Award for best makeup and has been a part of a plethora of film and TV productions including the new adaptation of the musical film The Color Purple, where she was Key Makeup Artist.
She also founded and designed her clothing line, NOY and created an educational program called The Reel Artist Pro for those interested in breaking into film and television. Gifted with an eye for fresh beauty, Ngozi is highly skilled in the art of natural projection. She is able to balance art with the natural features of her clients, resulting in sophisticated, yet subtle looks of beauty that are purely striking. Each client is a canvas filled with endless potential and inspiration waiting to be released.
Ngozi resides in Baltimore, MD with her husband and 3 children.
