With nearly half a million followers on Instagram, Deepica Mutyala is well on her way to fulfilling her mission to change the conversation around beauty. She sure has come a long way since 2015 when she was first thrust into the spotlight after creating a viral YouTube video in which she applied red lipstick on the dark circles under her eyes. She was subsequently featured on Today and The Dr. Oz Show among others. Nowadays the entrepreneur continues to develop her channel and other social media platforms by regularly posting tutorials.
Mutyala also started her own beauty line, Live Tinted, that specializes in hypoallergenic makeup designed to enhance your natural beauty. It's also vegan, cruelty-free and inclusive.
We recently caught up with the beauty queen to find out about her must-have products.

"I am always wearing this mineral SPF. I love that it has 18 percent zinc oxide yet leaves no white cast on all skin tones and types. It protects skin from UVA/UVB rays and blue light and also serves as a primer and moisturizer in one. It's truly the perfect everyday skin care step that can be worn alone or under makeup!"
"I was lucky enough to be able to test this out before it officially launched and I am obsessed. It gives the hydration of a heavy moisturizer, but it's super lightweight and breathable on the skin."
"This is the perfect medium buildable coverage foundation and it comes in a wide shade range. It's hydrating so it doesn't feel cakey and allows my skin to breathe while still evening out its tone. Plus, it's a clean formula, which is always important!"
"I love this brand in general, but I am obsessed with their mascara. It's super buildable and volumizing without feeling clumpy and it has this tapered wand so that it evenly coats each lash from the root up."
