Debbie Lelievre keeps busy: she’s been a makeup artist for over 30 years in film and TV, including shows like Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender, which was recently nominated for a 2025 Make-Up and Hair Stylists Guild Award, and she’s also a mixed-media visual artist and illustrator. Here’s what’s on her playlist right now. 

The Podcast: Ruthie’s Table 4

Ruthie Rogers of The River Café interviews creatives about food and life. I binge it on my walks and feel like I’m at the table with them.

The Read: Kinfolk

Attention span? Shot. (Thanks, social media.) But I still flip through art and design books with my morning tea and Kinfolk for its dreamy photography. At night, it’s cookbooks and children’s books—because they’re the best!

The YouTube Stream: Rajiv Surendra

I love him! He loves artisans and appreciates everything that is made from scratch. And what a talented artist. If you love design and how to get the best treasures in a flea market or the art of calligraphy, I strongly recommend his channel.

Binge-Worthy Movie: Call Me By Your Name

I saw it like 14 times in a row when it came out years ago.
