Karen Dupiche spent decades making some of the most recognized faces in America camera-ready - and became the person they trusted with everything the camera didn't see.
In Lipstick and Life Lessons: A View From The Makeup Chair, four-time Emmy Award-winning makeup artist Karen Dupiche takes you behind the scenes of an extraordinary career that carried her from New Jersey cosmetics counters to the makeup chairs of The View, the Oscars, the Emmys, the Tonys, and the Met Gala.
Trusted by icons including Barbara Walters, Whoopi Goldberg, Rosie O'Donnell, Star Jones, Sunny Hostin, Sherri Shepherd, and Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Karen became far more than a celebrity makeup artist. She became a confidante, cheerleader, truth-teller, and friend.
In this heartfelt memoir, Karen shares the unforgettable stories behind the cameras-the laughter, faith, setbacks, career-defining moments, and life lessons that shaped her journey as a self-taught Haitian American trailblazer.
You'll discover how to:
- Find purpose in unexpected places.
- Build confidence from the inside out.
- Turn setbacks into opportunities.
- Lead with faith, resilience, and authenticity.
- Create relationships rooted in trust.
Lipstick and Life Lessons is more than a beauty memoir. It's a powerful story about believing in yourself, following your calling, and discovering that the greatest transformations begin long before the lipstick goes on.
