This week we are thrilled to welcome Selena Gomez's makeup artist Hung Vanngo! Hung is best-known as the glam guru creating elevated, flawless and snatched looks for starlets like Julianne Moore, Scarlett Johansson and Laura Harrier. Tune in as the newly-minted brand founder shares all of his next-level eye makeup secrets.
