Her initial claim to fame may have been being the sister of Arielle Charnas, but Michaela Podolsky has managed to carve out a niche for herself as a beauty influencer. The new mom opened up on Instagram about her pregnancy troubles, including fertility treatments and the loss of one of her twins mid-pregnancy. She has an equally relatable approach to beauty. She embraces a variety of luxe and more moderately priced brands and favors a natural look. (Just look at her five holy grail beauty picks.)
Unlike many other influencers, she has the background to back up her tips and tricks. Before filming Sephora beauty hauls, she worked as a makeup artist at Bobbi Brown Cosmetics.
We recently caught up with her to chat about all things beauty.

"This cream has been my holy grail. It's incredibly hydrating and leaves my skin so plump and glowy. It's expensive, but, in my opinion, so worth the investment."
"I'm all about the no-makeup makeup look so whenever I'm not wearing a mask, I love to use this lip tint for some added color to really bring out my natural lip shade."
"Biologique Recherche's cleanser is incredibly gentle, but leaves the most beautiful glow. I love using it first thing in the morning to wake my skin up."
"This product is more of a body product than a face one, but it provides the most insane glow to my cheekbones when I want to look dewy, which is always."
