Ep. 81: Skin First: with Canada-based makeup lover and mum SJ, AKA @alwaysplayingwithmakeup

This week’s guest is Quebec City, Canada-based Sarah-Jane Roger-Gobell better known as @alwaysplayingwithmakeup on Instagram. She’s a busy mum, a visual merchandiser, and as her insta handle says, she is literally always playing with makeup. So I thought she would be the perfect person for the second Skin First episode. Sarah-Jane has this otherworldly glow about her, and that’s despite her saying she has a dry skin type. In this episode I wanted to find out how she gets that glow, whether she thinks it’s a case of skin first, products second, and why being creative with makeup helped her get out of a funk after giving birth to her son Noah.
