It\u2019s official, Breaking Beauty fans can\u2019t get enough of clean beauty (hat-tip to listeners who filled out our survey for that intel!) In today\u2019s episode, we bring you the origin story behind W3ll People \u2014 one of the O.G. all-natural makeup brands founded in Austin, Texas back in 2008. (Psst: Shailene Woodley is a fan!) We sit down with co-founder and makeup artist Shirley Pinkson, who trained under makeup master Fran\xe7ois Nars before setting out to create a green beauty dupe of \u201cThe Multiple\u201d \u2013 and a whole wardrobe of good-for-your-skin cosmetics.
