It’s the first episode of a brand new year, and in this episode I’m talking about the Ins and Outs lists that we’ve been seeing all over social media. As well as sharing my own list, which includes beauty, social media etiquette and gatekeeping – I want to bring it back! – I share some ins and outs from other fashion and beauty names, including former guest Mandy Lee, the fashion writer and analyst who’s also known as @oldloserinbrooklyn. I also share some comments from Kirbie Johnson, co-host of the Gloss Angeles podcast. Of course, I also want to know your ins and outs – or, tell me if you’re over these lists already! DM me @beautymepodcast on Instagram or X and let me know. For me the lists are a bit of fun but can also be useful in the sense that it doesn’t hurt to think about our habits from time to time, and see if we might want to change something. If you're listening on Spotify be sure to add your ins and outs in the poll on the show page! Above all else, I hope you enjoyed this episode. If you did, it would be great if you could review, share and subscribe. See you next time!

It’s the final episode of 2023 and because it's been quite a year, I'm ending on the concept of selfcare. In this episode I'm sharing my thoughts on several body creams, lotions and exfoliants that are all aimed at caring for your skin in the colder months. I’d love to know if you’ve tried any of the products I mention before and I’d really love to know the products that you consider to be your essentials when it comes to hydrating your winter skin. Let me know in the DMs over on @beautymepodcast on Instagram or X and feel free to get in touch over on my TikTok @charissekenion. As mentioned this is the last episode of 2023 so I want to thank you for every single time you’ve hit play on an episode of the Beautyme Podcast. See you next year.

This week I'm talking about the beauty I’ve discovered in several of the shows I’ve been watching lately. You'll hear my thoughts on two Apple TV+ shows; The Supermodels, a 4-part docuseries on the quintessential ‘90s supermodels, and The Buccaneers, an 8-part story about young American women taking over London in the 1870s. I’m also talking about The Other Black Girl, American Horror Story Delicate and finally the Bethann Hardison documentary Invisible Beauty. Where possible I’ll give each show a rating out of 5. Please let me know if you’ve watched any of the shows I mention this episode! You can DM me @beautymepodcast on X or Instagram and I’ll also post a poll for my Spotify listeners. Also, I’ll be asking you what you can recommend for me so I can share with other listeners. In the meantime, if you enjoyed this episode, I’d love if you could rate it or write a review and definitely, absolutely share it with anyone who needs something new to watch! Thank you as always for listening. I’ll see you next time.

Today’s episode is all about the complexity of hair, from two very different angles. The first segment of the show is going to be a conversation with Theatre Peckham CEO and Artistic Director Suzann McLean about her new all-black cast production of the classic European fairytale Rapunzel – a story about a young girl trapped in a tower in the woods with her only means of possible escape being her extremely long hair. The second segment sees me with my friend and collaborator Winnie Awa of The Hair Lab podcast discussing how our first event, HAIR TALKS went. Thanks as always for listening – it means the world, and if you enjoyed do please rate the show on Spotify and review on Apple Podcasts or anywhere else you like to listen.

It’s been about a year since my friend and former guest Winnie Awa, founder of Carra, an AI-led personalised hair advice platform, said that we really wanted to start a series of events. Back then I always knew it would be called Hair Talks – because, well, our hair literally talks – and I think as women of colour in particular, how we style or dress our hair speaks volumes but is not always interpreted correctly. I'm so excited to say that our very first event is happening this Monday and that, moving forward, you can expect HAIR TALKS to be an ongoing series of conversations around the complexity of textured hair. So, in this short episode I'm sharing a little bit more about why it started, and where we see it going. There's still time to book yourself a free ticket if you live in London - and grab a gorgeous goodie bag featuring goodies from Camille Rose, Pacifica, Liha Beauty and more!

If you can’t make it on the night, feel free to reach out to me on social media @beautymepodcast on Instagram and X formerly known as Twitter, and for the Spotify listeners I’ll create a poll for you to get involved with. That’s all for this week. Thank you so much for listening during these uncertain times; your support means the world.

This week’s guest is the wonderful, inspiring and insightful Cyndia Harvey, a London-based hair artist who has been recognised for her contribution to fashion by The British Fashion Council and was labelled as a Beauty Game-Changer by Vogue Business in their inaugural ‘100 Future Innovators’ list. In this episode, Cyndia looks back fondly at how her Jamaican upbringing instilled in her an ingenuity that has always fed her creativity and she also shares on her love for Vipassana Meditation and explains why she feels apprehensive about labelling something as beautiful. I’d love to know if Cyndia's words have the same impact on you as they had on me.

It’s another 5-minute review and this week it’s Prada Beauty’s Monochrome Hyper Matte Lipstick. In these short episodes I tell you what the product is, what the brand says about it and break down the packaging, the smell and feel, and give it a mark out of 5 based on whether it matches the claims on the website and how it performed for me. This product was purchased by me but since recording the brand has sent me three other shades, including the Soft Matte formula, so I'll be sure to let you know my thoughts on that one on my socials! I’d love to know if you’ve tried this product or if there’s another product you want me to do a 5-minute review on. Email me [email protected] or DM me on Instagram or Twitter @beautymepodcast.

This week we’re looking at the hair and makeup creatives who brought the cast of the new Sofia Coppola movie Priscilla to life. I’ve split the show into three segments; starting with a little background into the making of the biopic, then I’ll be sharing my conversation with Cliona Furey, Head of Hair Design on the movie before sharing some behind the scenes product information from Jo-Ann MacNeil, Head of Makeup Design and find out how she turned actress Cailee Spaeny into Priscilla. Also, if you want to see some visuals from the movie, I’ve made a few TikToks which you can find at https://www.tiktok.com/@charissekenion and if you’re one of my US-based listeners I’d love to know your thoughts on the movie if you’ve seen it!

This week I’ve got a very special guest because it's my first time welcoming a BeautyMe listener on to the show. A few weeks ago I put out an invitation on Instagram Stories for any listeners who wanted to be my guest and talk beauty. London-based Executive Assistant, writer and curator Jasmine Pierre is my first listener guest and the conversation was so much fun and brought up a lot of thinking points for me personally. In this episode, Jasmine shares her morning routine with some really useful tips for anyone who lives with eczema, and takes me through her early beauty influences, from her mum and grandma, to her schoolfriends and then, as so many of us have experienced: Tumblr.

It’s another 5-minute review and this week it’s the Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Face Primer. In these short episodes I tell you what the product is, what the brand says about it, break down the packaging, the smell and feel, and give it a mark out of 5 based on whether it matches the claims on the website and how it performed for me.

This week it’s a very unscripted, minimally edited episode about two things that have been on my mind. First of all; burnout. I am FEELING it! Listen in and let me know if you’re feeling the same. The second segment is all about the value of the Black Beauty Club. Formed by two New York based women, Tomi Talabi and Asmeret Berhe-Lumax, the Black Beauty Club first emerged on Clubhouse, the audio chatroom app that took over our lives at the height of the pandemic in 2020, and today it is a real life event taking place regularly in New York and more recently and more often in London and Paris. Earlier this week I co-hosted their latest London event, so in the second half of this show I will tell you more about the club, its message and its founders.

This week's guest is Tatiana Rose, a makeup artist, photographer and cabaret dancer, based in Australia. I can't remember when I first fell in love with her work, but she was an instant follow. Tatiana’s work is so cinematic and nostalgic and I truly believe there's no-one else quite like her. In this episode Tatiana shares what it was like to grow up in the circus back in Belgium, where she was born, only to move to Australia and have her world turned upside down. Suffice to say, it was a tumultuous time but it pushed Tatiana to really lean into her love of the arts, from painting to ballet, and would eventually lead her to the world of makeup. I hope you love this one - be sure to check out all of Tatiana's social links that I've shared below and if you want to see a clip from our chat, head to my TikTok @charissekenion.

This episode is a look behind the scenes at some of the London Fashion Week Spring Summer 2024 shows and I’m also sharing information on the very first product launch from makeup artist Katie Jane Hughes.

This week it’s a very special Meet the Founder episode with Zanna Roberts Rassi, one of the four co-founders of Milk Makeup, a cruelty-free, vegan makeup brand that's all about easy, effortless results. Zanna launched the brand back in 2016 alongside her husband, Milk Studios co-founder Mazdack Rassi, as well as Georgie Greville and Dianna Ruth. Zanna and I met during a hectic week of Milk Makeup events that saw her flying from New York to London to Paris all in the space of a few days. In this episode we discuss the early days of Milk Makeup, how Zanna stays fit and inspired - and I also ask how she balances living and working with her husband, all while having two children and a gig as an entertainment reporter for NBC! Zanna, originally from Manchester, UK, is honest and open about her work/life balance and of course shares her can't-live-without Milk Makeup products. Just a heads-up, this is not sponsored! I really hope you enjoy this one as much as I did. Feel free to get in touch with feedback over in the DMs on X, formerly known as Twitter or Instagram @beautymepodcast or email me [email protected].

Have you seen the September covers of British and American Vogue yet? For some the images are a celebration of some of the most iconic faces we know, while others think it's amazing that four women over 50 are on the cover together. Still, there are others, including me, with a variety of conflicting thoughts, which is why this episode is dedicated to the supermodels specials. We’ve got the legends Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista and Naomi Campbell on the covers of both issues at the same time but much of the talk has centred around the use of AI retouching. I would love to know your thoughts on these images too. If you’re listening on Spotify please take part in the poll on the show’s page.

This week it's another 5-minute review - but it's 10 minutes. That's mostly because I’m talking about the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream All-Over Miracle Oil – closely related to the cult product Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant.

This week's guest is London-based session stylist and brand founder Danielle Igor, whose work I fell in love with after The Face magazine included her in its online Beauty Directory. While noticing a certain nostalgia about it, I was struck by the freshness of Danielle's work. Danielle began teaching herself to do her own hair at the age of 9 and today she works with the likes of brands such as Apple, Adidas and Charlotte Tilbury as well as musicians such as Cat Burns, Jorja Smith and Shy Girl. For me, Danielle's work is a celebration of black culture, and in this conversation we discuss cultural appropriation and whether it's necessary that all stylists can do all hair. Along the way Danielle shares her first inspirations and her hopes for the future of her brand Igor Hair. I hope you enjoy this one as much as we did!

This week’s guest is the amazing London-based makeup artist Bea Sweet. Often compared to Queen Pat McGrath, Bea is the creative behind some truly stunning looks for the likes of everyone from singers Jorja Smith and Twigs to British-Australian actress Miriam Margolyes. In this episode Bea looks back on the products that really got her into beauty and blows my mind when she talks about her formal music training as a child. We have an interesting conversation around what Bea classifies as being ‘hot’ and how it differs from being ‘pretty’ and she references some back in the day websites and influences that lean more into the edgy, darker side of beauty. Also, towards the end of the show, Bea is going to share the 4 products that she cannot live without, and they’re really interesting! I hope you enjoy this one as much as we did.

In this short and sweet episode I break down the trend, how the label originated and try to get to the bottom of why the trend kind of irks me!

It’s another 5-minute review although it’s definitely a bit longer today as the product I’m talking about is Glossier’s G Suit Soft Touch Lip Créme.

This week’s guest is the wonderful, award-winning entrepreneur and hair expert Winnie Awa. In 2020, London-based Winnie founded Carra, an online platform powered by data to give people with textured hair the world over the advice and product recommendations they really need. More recently, this June, Winnie launched The Texture Gap, an AI-driven report from Carra Labs that highlights the lack of consideration, innovation and awareness around Type 4C hair, the tightest curl pattern. In this conversation we discuss the intricacies of black hair, why brands need to wake up to the needs of people with textured hair; why some of us are going back to relaxing our hair and our right to choose exactly what we do with our hair. This is a conversation that everyone can learn from; from brand leaders to parents who are considering the styling options for their children so don’t hesitate to share this with anyone who might benefit. I really hope you enjoy this one as much as we did and I’d love for you to take part in the poll over on Spotify if that’s where you’re listening.

This week’s guest is London-based Claudia Walder, fashion stylist and founder of Able, a magazine created for disabled people. When Claudia was 23 and working as a stylist she began to experience some health problems that eventually became incredibly debilitating. Six months later she was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). In this episode Claudia shares her experiences, how she had essentially had to nurture herself, why she started Able Zine and why she's taking a break. We also discuss the importance of perception and representation and the intricacies of labelling an illness 'invisible'.

Today we’re talking about weight, or rather, I’m talking about whether we should ever talk about weight when it’s nothing to do with our own body. Meaning, should we ever talk about someone else’s weight, whether it’s gone up or down, whether that’s 'good' or 'bad'. If at any point during this episode, there’s something you want to say or share, please do find me in the DMs on Twitter or Instagram @beautymepodcast or email me direct [email protected]. TW: Before I share my thoughts, I do want to let you know that I will touch upon eating disorders and miscarriage so if either of those subjects feel too heavy right now, please give this episode a miss. I want to point out this is not an episode about health and I also want to point out that this episode will not even get into how race, gender or disability impacts the conversation around weight –but that’s something I definitely want to explore another time so I’d love to hear from you if you want to have a conversation. Please let me know your thoughts; is it time we stopped talking about weight? If you’re listening on Spotify take part in the poll over there and let me know!

This week’s episode is a deep dive into the history of Estée Lauder’s iconic Summer scent; Bronze Goddess. First of all I’m going back to when it first launched to try and break down what makes it such a cult fragrance and I’ll end by sharing my thoughts on the very latest iteration of the fragrance, L’Eau de Lumiere.

Jeanine Lobell, the founder of iconic brand Stila, is this week’s guest and it’s one of the best conversations I’ve ever been lucky enough to have. Jeanine started out as makeup artist – and still is today – and in 1994 she changed the face of beauty with her whimsical, functional brand. In this episode I ask Jeanine to take us all the way back to the ‘90s – what did it take to build a beauty brand back then? Was it easier or more difficult compared to today? How much did Estée Lauder pay her for her brand in 1999??  Jeanine is the definition of an innovator and I feel that future beauty founders could learn so much from her. She shares so many amazing, inspiring and fun stories of the decades she has spent in the beauty industry, and also shares what she would do differently if Stila launched today. If you love this episode I would love it if you could write a review on Apple Podcasts or leave a review over on Spotify. It makes a big difference. While you’re at it, if you subscribe to BeautyMe wherever you listen, you’ll never miss another episode. Be sure to head to TikTok to see my video content with Jeanine @charissekenion and definitely check out this week’s newsletter where I share some really lovely insights from Jeffrey Fulvimari, the illustrator who created the legendary Stila girls.

For this episode I wanted to explore the many layers of discussion around Beyoncé launching haircare, including the question, is she even qualified to launch a haircare line? As part of Destiny’s Child alongside longterm members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, from 2001 onwards the band won every award you can think of, and as a solo artist Beyoncé has amassed over 30 Grammys and is tied with her husband Jay-Z as the most nominated act in Grammys history with 88 nominations each. As well as the endless awards and nominations Beyoncé is absolutely 100 percent a modern day hair icon for black women the world over and has undoubtedly inspired millions of women to make changes with their hair. In this episode I discuss a little of Beyoncé's impact, her importance, her personal life and her reasons for going into haircare. I’d love to know your thoughts on this one – you can either DM me on Instagram or Twitter or, if you’re listening on Spotify, please do take part in the poll I’ve shared on the episode page.

This episode is dedicated to the impact of Donna Summer, the woman known as the queen of disco who inspired millions around the world to dance, really dance, and forget their troubles. But it wasn’t just about the sounds – it was about her hair, her features, her makeup, the glitter and the sequins. The reason I’ve decided now is the time to focus on the wonders of Donna Summer is because HBO is releasing a documentary today, called Love to Love You, Donna Summer and it promises to share Donna’s struggles with fame, how she navigated being a mother and also endeavoured to keep her private life private, all while experiencing such career highs as being the first black woman to have a music video play on MTV. I’m dying to watch the documentary so I thought I’d try and take us back a little bit to break down just how Donna inspired the world.

This week it’s the Battle of the Bases! I’m testing the Saie Glowy Superskin Weightless Hydrobounce Serum Foundation against Ilia Beauty’s Super Serum Skin Tint. Both products are aimed at giving you a natural, glowing base and after reviewing them side by side over, I thought it made sense to share a full review of both for the podcast listeners. Full disclaimer; all products reviewed were kindly sent to me by the brands with zero expectations. Let me know if you’ve tried either of these products – especially if you’re a fan of the Ilia serum as I would love to pass on any positive reviews for the other listeners.

It's a Bank Holiday BONUS episode because I wanted to weigh in on the story surrounding lifestyle vlogger Bria Jones and her decision to turn down a Tarte brand trip to the Miami Grand Prix. It's a story about the billion dollar business of Formula 1, unfair treatment, so-called 'miscommunication', alleged death threats and for some, it's also about race. For me, this entire experience is a warning for other creators.

The 2023 Met Gala happened Monday May 1st so of course, this episode is all about the hair and beauty moments from the night. With many of my favourite fashion accounts labelling the event as 'the worst Met Gala ever' I'm pretty relieved I'm only focusing on the hair and makeup. To be honest, I had a feeling about this year’s gala, because the theme itself – designer Karl Lagerfeld – never really excited me. That said, Karl had a 6-decade long career that saw him at Patou, Balmain, Fendi, Chloe and of course Chanel, from 1983 until his death in 2019. He also had a very definitive signature style of wearing black and white with tons of gothic style sterling silver Chrome Hearts accessories – so really, there was PLENTY of fashion inspiration for attendees to really dive into and create truly monumental moments that we would be talking about forever. But, it didn’t quite go that way. So this episode is all about the noteworthy hair and beauty moments in my eyes. Let me know YOUR favourite Met Gala moment over in the DMs on Instagram or Twitter @beautymepodcast or on TikTok @charissekenion or  you can email me direct on [email protected].   Did you know that you can now listen to BeautyMe on Amazon Music?

This week’s guest is Karina Chan, a Chinese American Project Manager who grew up in the Silicon Valley, in the San Francisco Bay Area. In this episode we discuss how perception and presentation shows up differently for people of colour and Karina shares some beautiful insights from former US Vogue editor-at-large Andre Leon Talley’s book The Chiffon Trenches. Karina also shares early memories of watching her mum, a real estate agent, getting ready to go to work and her hopes for the future of fashion as technology becomes more sophisticated. If you love fashion you’re going to love this episode. And if you don’t know fashion, it’s still worth a listen and visiting Google when you get curious!

This is an episode that I felt compelled to make, because I wanted to let you know about the amazing facial I had recently with Katie England. Based at my favourite London hotel, the NoMad in Covent Garden, Katie is a facialist with over a decade of experience and during that time she has truly honed her craft and her way of looking at skin. For me, this was an experience that still hasn't left me. Katie has made me take more interest in my body, not just my face, and she almost made me cry too. But that's only because she is simply a lovely human being that makes you feel seen. What made this even more special, was that the facial was a gift from my bestie, Natalie. So this is me passing on that gift to you. In this episode I share my experience and also discuss Katie's buccal massage techniques which are absolutely different and definitely a must! Do please share this episode with anyone you think needs it, and if you enjoyed listening, I’d really appreciate if you could review the show on Spotify or Apple or anywhere you listen.

This episode is all about the hair and makeup we see in new AV Rockwell movie A Thousand and One, because since seeing the trailer I've been so impressed with the ‘90s and 2000s looks. The movie, starring singer and choreographer Teyana Taylor as ex-convict Inez, is set in Harlem, New York and focuses on her heart-rending story that begins with her deciding to kidnap her 6-year-old son from the foster care system. Suffice to say, it's set to be a tearjerker! It's out today in the US and should reach the UK April 21st. Be sure to check out the visuals I created for this episode over on TikTok @charissekenion and let me know if you love this kind of episode!

This Guido Palau special was a long time coming and I'm so glad my friend and hair architect Joy Matashi told me it was a must! In this episode I talk about Guido's start in hair - he was told he would never make it by the way - as well as his influence on grunge, his longterm collars with photographer David Sims and designer Alexander McQueen and why he's still going strong today. I definitely don't think you need to be 'into' hair to appreciate this episode and I hope everyone who listens either enjoys it or learns something.

This episode is all about the makeup I would buy if suddenly one day, I woke up and all of my existing collection had disappeared, or been burnt down to the ground. Obviously, it’s never that deep, but there are some products I would have to buy immediately. The idea came to me after seeing Sophie Floyd’s YouTube about the products she would immediately replace - you can check that out here: https://youtu.be/9rpiXRWBY88 I’d love to know what YOU would buy instantly if you lost all your makeup faves.

This week’s episode is a #beautybuzz episode focused on some of the most recent news stories linked to the world of beauty and how we view it; I’m looking at the growing commentary on the future of American Vogue, some condescending motivational posters aimed at girls at a school in Worcester, UK and the varied responses to the TikTok Bold Glamour filter. Also, did you know that I appeared on Breaking Beauty this week? It was so amazing to hang out with hosts Carlene and Jill of this iconic beauty podcast, and alongside fellow UK beauty journalist Anita Bhagwandas, we discuss the latest beauty headlines. You can listen here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2WibniC1k7bhi17aAZSi7n?si=90daeff7c5174b2b As always, I’m interested to know what you think on these or any other subjects within beauty!

This episode is a journey inside my mind as I try to juxtapose five decades of incredible work with one (as far as we know) racist image. I'm talking about Grace Coddington; former Creative Director at US Vogue for almost three decades, known for her imagination and brilliant attention to detail and for creating memorable imagery that has inspired many around the world and impacted every single advert and billboard. But it's that attention to detail that raised alarm bells back in 2019, when Grace was photographed at home, and in one of the images, she's standing in front of a collection of mammy jars. Many wondered why she had the jars - racist propaganda created to paint African Americans as ugly caricatures - while others wondered why they were on display. Unfortunately I didn't know about the jars when I made this TikTok all about Grace's impact on the fashion industry. So in this episode I have a lot of questions - can you be not racist but make a racist mistake; what is 'little old white lady' racism? Plus many others... I also throw makeup artist and brand founder Isamaya Ffrench into the mix, because she's been sailing very close to the wind lately, and her recent trip to Malawi has had some in the beauty community referring to her as 'cringe'.  I'd love to know your thoughts as always, so feel free to get in touch over @beautymepodcast on Twitter or Instagram, or find me on TikTok @charissekenion.

Chani Ra can’t remember a time when she wasn’t in love with fashion. She’s a writer and nail tech - who learned how to do French tips at the age of 7 by the way - who not only has an amazing fashion TikTok account @thefashionnap but has also just started sharing vlogs on YouTube this week. This episode was so much fun to record! I’ve been following Chani for a few months, ever since I decided to get serious about creating content for TikTok and I assumed she’d been on the app for a long time, because her content is so good, so well-thought out and she makes it look so easy. However, she’s only been on TikTok since the birth of her 7-month son Shiloh and basically plans and records her content when he’s taking a nap. By the way, this is baby Shiloh’s first podcast and you’re going to hear him throughout our chat. We cover so much in this episode – we talk a lot about TikTok etiquette; why being well-referenced counts, when you have to admit you’ve made a mistake and when it’s time to remove a video. Chani also shares her inspirations in the form of two women who made a major impact on her love of fashion and beauty, her godmother Eve who would take her out of school to go shopping at MAC (!) and her grandmother Ruth, a former model. I really hope you enjoy this one as much as we did. Feel free to get in touch with feedback over in the DMs on Twitter or Instagram @beautymepodcast or email me [email protected].

This week I’m talking about the use of AI technology on film with particular regard to aging, or rather, de-aging. I've been noticing music videos are leaning more into retouching - from erasing cellulite to softening necklines - but I didn't realise it was also really prevalent in film and TV. This definitely isn't a deep dive, and it's something I will likely come back to, but after hearing an episode of The Town, a podcast all about the business of Hollywood, hosted by Matthew Belloni, I thought I'd share some insights and ask some questions about how 'vanity' software might affect the future of film. Be sure to check out that episode in the links below!

For this episode I’ve invited Sydney-based beauty marketing journalist Lily Twelftree of Barefaced Media back onto the show because her recent video Why did beauty YouTube die? really got me thinking. So in this episode we discuss a LOT; from what made beauty YouTube so popular at its peak; why many of us have fallen out of love with beauty YouTube – but at the same time, we’re seeing more beauty creators moving to the platform after becoming disheartened with their content performance on Instagram. We also discuss authenticity and whether brands can have political or personal opinions particularly when you look at the issue of Uoma Beauty founder Sharon Chuter using her brand page to pay tribute to the death of Queen Elizabeth II last September. If you’re someone who’s a huge beauty YouTube lover or you’re even thinking of joining the platform yourself, feel free to get in touch over in the DMs on Twitter or Instagram @beautymepodcast or email me [email protected].

Born and raised in the Dominican Republic, Omahyra Mota moved to Queens, New York at the age of 10 with her siblings, her mum and her grandmother. At the age of 15 her mum picked up a disposable camera and took pictures of Omahrya in her swimsuit. She added Omahyra’s measurements to the back of the photos and sent them to every single agency in New York. Only one agency gave a response and that one was enough to see Omahyra go on to walk the runway for the likes of Jean Paul Gaultier, Moschino, Gucci, Oscar de la Renta and many, many more. In this episode I look back over Omahyra’s two decade long career and discuss the power and strength she found in embracing her androgynous style. I’d love to know if you’ve heard of Omahrya before or do you have another favourite androgynous model? Let me know if you think someone else deserves their own podcast!

What a week it’s been – the beauty community can’t stop talking about lashes. First, we had Doja Cat’s Doja’s Inferno red makeup moment created by the iconic makeup artist Pat McGrath, only to hear critics say, w’hy isn’t she wearing lashes?’ Then we had beauty creator Mikayla Nogueira’s quite unbelievable mascara ad for L’Oréal’s Telescopic Lift causing TikTok trauma. I’d love to know what you think – should Mikayla release a statement? Can she come out of this with her authenticity as an influencer intact?
