Gina Blondell is a makeup artist whose client list includes i-D Magazine, A$AP Rocky, FKA Twigs, Adidas and Estée Lauder with credits on Wicked and Back to Black.

On this episode of Mothers of Creativity, she joins host Sabrina Sarl to talk about building her career from an accidental start in film prosthetics to training at MAC and assisting leading makeup artists such as Alex Box and Kay Montano.

The conversation moves into freelance life as a mother of three: the ectopic pregnancy that momentarily changed her mindset on motherhood, the real cost of childcare against freelance income, and an ADHD diagnosis that came into focus through parenting. 

Gina and Sabrina talk through what it means to stop measuring your pace against everyone else's, and why keeping your head above water is its own kind of success.
