Beauty Artist Sage White Talks Her Obsession With Lips and Her New, Must-Have Collab With NYX Professional Makeup

How has creating art impacted your life, and what moment in your career are you most proud of so far?

Creating saves me when I feel stuck in life. Because one minute the art, the makeup look, etc. doesn’t exist and the next, through your connection to a higher frequency, beautiful art is created, and that’s powerful. I’m proud of every moment to be honest because I never know where I’m going next but I always know that as long as I can create, I’ll be in motion towards something great. 

What does the future of Sage White Beauty look like to you?

I hope to keep creating pieces and eventually makeup that will inspire anyone who purchases from me. I’m always looking to expand, but I’m definitely enjoying the journey. 

What's your advice for an aspiring beauty entrepreneur or artist?

Keep creating and always be open to learning. Work with those around you and always ask for help when you need it. Stay as child-like as you can in terms of creating anything that comes to your mind. 

And finally, what does beauty mean to you?

Beauty, to me, has always been a tool that can be used to inspire awe but also against people sometimes. But finding your own beauty, and seeing the beauty in others and being able to bring it out through makeup (or whatever medium) is a power unto itself. I think the more social media highlights the different ways people can be beautiful, it expands the meaning of it and more people can find power in it.
