About

I'm Emily! Welcome to my channel- Beauty Broadcast. I'm a former news anchor, a wife, and most recently... a momma! My goal with every video is to provide my incredible viewers with creative, original, and honest content! I see makeup as a creative outlet, and also a confidence booster. It's about looking good, feeling good, and passing those good feelings on to others. I post multiple videos on this channel each week!
