Odacité Kind of Girl: Katey Denno, Celebrity Makeup Artist, Green Living and Beauty Expert
As a prominent NYC celebrity makeup artist and green living and beauty expert, Katey Denno is well-known for being on forefront of the clean beauty movement for nearly a decade. She works with A-listers such as Felicity Jones, Cara Delevingne, Cobie Smulders and more - and yes she can make a green beauty look last through an entire movie premier ;-).
What we admire most about Katey aside from her impeccable expertise and talent, is her big heart. Before she became a makeup artist, she spent almost ten years as a social worker. She was a big advocate of teaching clients the importance of knowing what they put on and into their body and even now, she finds time to consult those who want to "green over" their lifestyle. This naturally translated into her current career, where she only uses clean products to get her clients red-carpet ready. Katey is constantly testing new products and reporting her 100% honest findings on her blog The Beauty Of It Is.
We hope you enjoy getting to know this beautiful warm hearted woman, what she keeps in her fridge at all times, and which Odacité products she swears by....
A different time each day! Work call times vary so greatly in my industry.
Honestly? Checking Instagram. I’d like to change this...
Probiotics, Immune Defense Mushroom Extract, Ground flax seed, at least one bottle of champagne in case of emergency celebration, pickled veggies, fresh veggies from the farmers market, and MAKEUP. Lots of makeup!
I do best with gentle exercise, so a walk around my hilly neighborhood or a gentle yoga class is my favorite.
My TCM practitioner put me on herbs to warm me up. He’s always told me that I’m too cold (which I know is true), and wow, is it ever working!
I listen to ‘How I Built This'.
Last book: Sue Monk Kidd’s ‘The Invention of Wings’.
A long walk in a local park.
Put loud music on and dance OR meditate.
I’m in love with the Black Mint Cleanser and Green Cermony Cleanser (powder to foam matcha face wash) - also the Aloe + Immortelle Hydra-Repair Mist.
Everything is going to work out in the end. If it hasn’t worked out, it isn’t the end!
