Olivia McKeendonic

Screenshot 2026-04-01 102008 Head of Skincare Research & Development Olivia McKeendonic writes the kind of advanced makeup formulations content that people actually send to each other. Not because it's flashy or controversial, but because it's the sort of thing where you read it and immediately think of three people who need to see it. Olivia has a talent for identifying the questions that a lot of people have but haven't quite figured out how to articulate yet — and then answering them properly. They covers a lot of ground: Advanced Makeup Formulations, Everyday Beauty Hacks, Expert Breakdowns, and plenty of adjacent territory that doesn't always get treated with the same seriousness. The consistency across all of it is a certain kind of respect for the reader. Olivia doesn't assume people are stupid, and they doesn't assume they know everything either. They writes for someone who is genuinely trying to figure something out — because that's usually who's actually reading. That assumption shapes everything from how they structures an explanation to how much background they includes before getting to the point. Beyond the practical stuff, there's something in Olivia's writing that reflects a real investment in the subject — not performed enthusiasm, but the kind of sustained interest that produces insight over time. They has been paying attention to advanced makeup formulations long enough that they notices things a more casual observer would miss. That depth shows up in the work in ways that are hard to fake.
