Meet Savannah Palacio, ARDELL’S Beauty of the Week. Savannah is loud, funny, empathic and is sharing her beauty secrets with us!
AR:
How did you get started working in beauty?
SP:
I did pageants for 15 years so I’m not sure if it was the countless amount of makeup workshops I took or the hours spent in front of a camera but I MADE IT! From as long as I could remember I’ve always loved creating “a LOOK.” My older cousin Leianna used to do my makeup and let me put in my own creative input. She was the first person to show me how fun makeup could be.
AR:
Tell us about yourself.
SP:
My name is Savannah Palacio and I’m a beauty, lifestyle and fashion content creator! When I’m not on your phone screens you can always find me on your TV screens as a reality TV star for Netflix! I’m an LA native who’s passionate about elevating your lifestyle from the inside out.

What inspires you?
SP:
I’m inspired by others! Another’s success encourages me and reminds me that I can also succeed.
AR:
How do you define beauty today?
SP:
Today I define beauty as being myself. In a world where it’s so easy to be pigeon holed or put into a box, the best thing to do to stand out is to be yourself.

AR:
Do you have any favorite beauty practices that you swear by?
SP:
I swear by mu gua sha routine! I LOVE my gua sha and believe it helps increase circulation and improves lymphatic function, resulting in a naturally dewy, glowing complexion.
AR:
Do you have any words of advice for others who may want to embark on a beauty career path?
SP:
A career in beauty is not for the weak but with hard work and dedication you’ll go far! It doesn’t take the most talented person to succeed… I mean, look at me! I’m by no means the most talented makeup artist but here I am, making it one step at a time.
AR:
What’s your go-to makeup or skin care routine?
SP:
My go-to makeup routine right now is the Mary Phillips viral makeup trend. First we lay the contour then we conceal and lastly lay down the foundation to make the most perfect complexion.
AR:
Do you listen to music when you get ready? If so, who is on your playlist?
SP:
YES! Music when getting ready is a must for me. Usually I’m bumping some 00’s hip hop or some Megan Thee Stallion.
AR:
What would someone never guess about you?
SP:
Someone would never guess that I love sports! I love playing them and I love watching them. My absolute favorite is basketball.
AR:
What makeup trends do you love?
SP:
I love any makeup trend that forces me to step out of my comfort zone because I’m a creature of habit.
AR:
What’s next for you?
SP:
I would love to tap into more health and wellness content because I believe beauty starts from within. I would also love to expand my tv presence into more hosting opportunities!
