Building, Brows & Baby No. 2 with Kristen Oakley

The girls are back (construction dust on their pants and all) and today, they're bringing on one of Luminous’ brightest lights: lash & brow artist, bridal makeup queen, and hilarious storyteller, Kristen Oakley.

From navigating construction chaos in stilettos to discovering skincare trends at the IBS show (and clarifying what IBS really means), Erika and Marcella take us behind the scenes of a boutique in flux, and into a conversation full of heart, hustle, and LOLs with Kristen.

We talk about:

🧱 Surviving a renovation with grace (and power tools)

💡 Beauty trends spotted at IBS: red light therapy, peels, and the missing VFit moment

💄 Clean girl aesthetic vs clean girl energy and why makeup should always be a choice

🐴 How Kristen’s horse reunited a client with her childhood pony (yes, really!)

🍼 The real talk on motherhood, TikTok fame (hello, @theweenwrangler), and balancing glam with grace

🤰🏽A wild gender reveal mix-up that had the whole staff (and half of Bergen County) shook

🎨 Her beauty evolution from maximalist to mindful minimalist—and a no-buy commitment that’s actually sticking

👁️‍🗨️ Why brows are her forever service (and why henna might be your new beauty BFF)

Kristen’s story reminds us that the path to your dream life doesn’t always follow the plan...and that the best glam comes with a whole lot of love, laughter, and learning as you go.

Special Guest: ✨ Kristin Oakley – Lash & Brow Artist, Makeup Artist, Dog Mom x3, Horse Lover, TikTok-er, Real Mom of Bergen County, and all-around Luminous Legend.
