A STUDENT OF BEAUTY
A podcast exploring what beauty actually is: the history, the culture, the craft, and the wellness practice the industry never talks about. Join us for a weekly conversation about beauty, ritual, and becoming.
A Student of Beauty is hosted by Gabbi Pascua — Emmy-winning makeup artist, global beauty documentarian, and co-founder of ASOB Media. Every episode is a study of a person, a place, a practice, or a moment that changed everything. A Student of Beauty is what she's learning along the way as she builds a company, explores different countries and finds beauty everywhere she goes.
