Tova Leigh

I first met Tova Leigh at the launch of her first book, Fucked at 40, which as the title suggests is a rather no holds barred look at some of the things Tova had experienced in her then 40 years.I liked how forthright, fun, and funny she was, and put her on my wish list of guests to come on the podcast. The pandemic slightly thwarted our efforts to have a chat, so in the end, we recorded this episode over zoom.In it, Tova explains how she went from a studious married woman living in Jerusalem to a divorcee in London, before meeting her husband Mike and going on to have three children. Does that sound like a neat and rounded off happy ending after which our heroine rides off into the sunset? Probably, but Tova, being the boldly honest woman she is, adds nuance, talking about the mental and physical trauma of having children, the need to travel away from them sometimes to reconnect with herself, and the desire that, despite loving them, they’d on occasion, in Tova’s words, ‘just fuck off.’We also talk about enjoying rather than performing sex, how she navigates representing her relationship online, and how Tova has used the very same face cream since she was 20.

Aimee Connolly

I first came across Irish make-up artist Aimee Connolly a couple of years ago, when I picked up a lipstick by her brand, Sculpted by Aimee, and was blown away by the quality married with clever design. That lipstick, by the way, is the Lip Duo in Pink Pair and it is a lipstick with a liner on the other end - very handy - and it is now a staple in my make-up bag.After that find, I started to try more and more by Aimee’s brand and continued to be impressed. Aimee came over to mine to record this episode, and I found that the woman behind Sculpted by Aimee is no less impressive; she is a savvy entrepreneur who was brought up as an only child solely by her mum, from whom she draws inspiration. She never took a loan or investors in her business, and she started saving money in uni to fund it.Aimee’s grit and a clear vision has served her really well - Sculpted by Aimee is now in its 6th year, and has over 40 products in the range.In this episode, we talk about how she has taken a small brand and grown it across the UK, how she now finds balance as a very involved business owner, and just how she achieves that signature glow.  Hosted on Acast.

Carrie Reichardt

Carrie is an artist who works in a variety of media creating her designs on items as varied as car bonnets, plates and paint cans made of ceramic. She has worked in film, performance and sculpture. Carrie's website describes her output as “anarchic artworks where vintage floral, kitsch, royal and religious crockery is given a new twist by refiring with layers of new ceramic decals." Carrie is perhaps best known for her mosaic home which has become so well known over the twenty years that she has been decorating it, that it has become a recommended stop for tourists making the trip to Chiswick where Carrie lives.To record this episode of the podcast I visited Carrie's home, which as you can imagine doesn't really need a door number because the house is immediately recognisable, standing out from the red bricked buildings on the street thanks to its multi coloured mosaics of all sorts including a cheshire cat, flying eyeballs, dancing skeletons and palm trees covering the front of the house. The legend "I'm an artist, your rules don't apply” is displayed prominently. A bumper detail on the taxi parked in front of the house, also covered in mosaic, reads ‘beware artists, they mix with all classes of society and are therefore the most dangerous.’I first became aware of Carrie's work when I received one of her pieces as a Christmas gift - a plate which said ‘buy less, fuck (excuse the expletive) more.’ It was kitsch, and yet anarchic. I was curious, so went to take a look at her mosaic house. Here’s a woman with a story, I thought, so I asked her on the podcast. Carrie’s answer to being invited on a podcast focussing on beauty was ‘I hardly have a ritual - I just wash off grout.’ That sealed it - I had to have her come on to tell her story, and to explain how a woman with such a keen eye for adorning had never been seduced by beauty.We sat in her garden to record this, which is why you can hear cars, wind, her dog scratching around, and the general bustle of London. I hope to you that adds to the picture, fleshing out what it’s like to have a very frank conversation with a very frank woman. We talk about all sorts from Dolly Parton to art as therapy to how Princess Diana helped to destigmatise self harm to her friendship with a death row inmate. I loved this having this conversation, and I hope you enjoy listening to it.(A little warning before you listen, as you may have guessed, Carrie isn’t one for holding back, and you might find some of the topics we discuss triggering.)

Hannah Martin

Today, I’m joined by the make-up artist Hannah Martin. She’s far too discreet to divulge her client list, but let’s just say there are a fair few royals on there, and she’s created some of the most dreamy ‘them but better’, so to speak, make-up looks that you’ll be well acquainted with.This episode is a bit about how Hannah embarked on that journey - I especially loved hearing about how a counsellor changed the trajectory of her life, and found her tips towards the end handy - but it’s also a lot about her life, about how Hannah navigated the grief of losing her mum, and about the secret to her long marriage to Simon. I was very moved by a lot of what Hannah said, particularly so during those sections. AD Info / This episode is brought to you by TEMPLESPA; one of my favourite luxury british skincare brands.

So relatable.   Especially the, “Juicy Tubes”, hit right at home.   I wish we had the four mini’s though.   For me, it was 1999-2001.  I also had quite a woman’s body my whole life.   Period at age nine, and then boobs and hips.  Also, a Catholic school Student too.  
Loved today’s show!

Relatable.

Beauty Full Lives

Meg Mathews

When Meg Mathews found herself unable to leave her house due to anxiety, she had no idea that the root cause might be the menopause. Once she realised that the anxiety-related agoraphobia she was suffering from was one of the many menopause symptoms that she'd never heard about, she decided to take action.Today, she's one of the more outspoken voices on the impact of the menopause, campaigning for awareness of how it can affect a woman and striving to arm them with information as to how to combat the more negative elements.She talks about her experience of the menopause and offers tips in this episode, as well as talking us though her life story, including growing up in South Africa during the Apartheid, enjoying London's punk scene, working as a music manager, and, of course, being part of that hugely famous Primrose Hill set, and how she found her experience at the Lanserhof to be hugely positive in fostering a good self-care routine.Here are the products Meg mentions and some shots of her stash:- Noxzema- Dr Hauschka Rose Day Cream- Shannon at Nicola Clarke at John Frieda- Lion Mane Mushrooms 4 Life- Susanne Kaufmann Body Lotion- Lumie Vitamin L Slim SAD Light- Rhythm Health Organic Coconut Kefir- Udo’s Choice Super 8 Gold- KIKI Health Nature’s Living Superfood Organic Blend- Viridian Magnesium- The M Blend CBD Oil- Bamford Pillow Spray- Aveda Chakra Spray- Kat Burki Goji Essence- Stila Lip Glaze in Kitten- Nars Multiple in South Beach- Salt of the Earth deodorant- Sukin- Frederic Malle Portrait of a LadyBeauty Full Lives is hosted by Madeleine Spencer, produced by Charlie Jones, and with artwork by Sung Lee.  Hosted on Acast.

ZOE SUGG

Zoe Sugg, aka Zoella, is an internet sensation, racking up over a billion YouTube views, with 12 million subscribers, and a further 10 million on Instagram and 13 million on twitter. Her fans are famously loyal - and they recognise Zoe wherever she goes.In this episode of Beauty Full Lives, I was keen to discuss the human element of living with the enormous fame and scrutiny that comes with being the most famous girl online (which, but the way, happens to be the title of Zoe's bestselling book).Zoe was a good sport and obliged me, touching on some of the more normal elements of her life, from finding QVC a bit addictive, to putting up Christmas Trees while listening to Shakin' Stevens, and choosing a bath over wine to wind down. But we also chat about the less usual elements of Zoe's life, too, including her stint of singing with Ed Sheeran, balancing having a huge profile with being a woman who struggles with anxiety, and how said panic ramped up a notch when her career exploded.We, of course, also talk about Zoe's childhood and the products and famous people she remembers from along the way (hair mascara comes up, as does Rachel Stevens) - and Zoe discusses her episode of adult acne and how she beat it, along with detailing her favourite products today. Products Zoe mentions include:- Barry M Holographic Glitter Dust - Barry M Green Glitter - bareMinerals Original Foundation - Liz Earle Cleanse &amp; Polish - La Roche Posay Effeclar Duo- Tata Harper Regenerative Moisturiser- Zoella Planner - - Zoella Hot Chocolate Candle- Zoella Wish Upon A Spa- Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray - Korean Sheet Masks- Amika Dry Shampoo - NuMe Classic Curling TongBeauty Full Lives is hosted by Madeleine Spencer, produced by Charlie Jones, and with artwork by Sung Lee.  Hosted on Acast.

Her fans are famously loyal - and they recognise Zoe wherever she goes.In this episode of Beauty Full Lives, I was keen to discuss the human element of living with the enormous fame and scrutiny that comes with being the most famous girl online (which, but the way, happens to be the title of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girl_Online" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Zoe's bestselling book</a>).Zoe was a good sport and obliged me, touching on some of the more normal elements of her life, from finding QVC a bit addictive, to putting up Christmas Trees while listening to Shakin' Stevens, and choosing a bath over wine to wind down. But we also chat about the less usual elements of Zoe's life, too, including her stint of singing with Ed Sheeran, balancing having a huge profile with being a woman who struggles with anxiety, and how said panic ramped up a notch when her career exploded.We, of course, also talk about Zoe's childhood and the products and famous people she remembers from along the way (hair mascara comes up, as does Rachel Stevens) - and Zoe discusses her episode of adult acne and how she beat it, along with detailing her favourite products today. Products Zoe mentions include:- Barry M Holographic Glitter Dust - Barry M Green Glitter - bareMinerals Original Foundation - Liz Earle Cleanse &amp; Polish - La Roche Posay Effeclar Duo- Tata Harper Regenerative Moisturiser- Zoella Planner - - Zoella Hot Chocolate Candle- Zoella Wish Upon A Spa- Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray - Korean Sheet Masks- Amika Dry Shampoo - NuMe Classic Curling TongBeauty Full Lives is hosted by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/madeleinelovesthis/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Madeleine Spencer</a>, produced by <a href="https://twitter.com/mrcharliejones" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Charlie Jones</a>, and with artwork by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sungleeart/?hl=en" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sung Lee</a>.  Hosted on Acast.

Trinny Woodall

Author, presenter, and founder of TRINNY LONDON joins me in this episode to talk about everything from growing up with acne while her older sister breezed through adolescence with spot-free skin, learning to loathe fake tan, managing an addiction to sugar, handling her mental health during challenges like IVF, tackling money issues, and the thrill of not knowing 'what's behind the closed door.'‘Your make-up can age you, and define the decade in which you felt your most beautiful. Taking away that protective thing is the hardest thing to do, but once you say “look, you can make yourself ageless by giving yourself a glowing skin, giving yourself that energy from within. Begin that process of exfoliation if you never do it, consider an acid, look at a retinol, protect your face from the sun, wear a white trainer with everything - you will look ageless suddenly, and then you will not be judged by decades in which you felt your happiest.

Bobbi Brown

Bobbi Brown is a woman so synonymous with the eponymous make-up brand she started in the early '90s, that it was somewhat surreal to be sitting with the real, human Bobbi Brown. In this episode she teases the two Bobbi's apart, talking about both how she made hers a household name for make-up before leaving the company three years ago, and the human endeavour behind it.We also talk about Bobbi’s life today, from her pared back approach to beauty (towards the end we look through her travel beauty stash and I was astonished at how minimal it was), why she decided her new company, Evolution 18, should focus on beauty from the inside out, and how she harbours a little crush on Lenny Kravitz.Beauty Full Lives is hosted by Madeleine Spencer, produced by Charlie Jones, and with artwork by Sung Lee.

Ayda Williams

Ayda Williams didn't stick to her plan in life. She wanted the reliable, to have a job that was dependable. She was fixed on that course, studying to become a tax attorney, and was, in her words, 'super square - I was a super student.'The death of her beloved grandmother changed that: 'I always wanted to be an actor, but I was too afraid. Everyone [in LA] was an actor slash model slash singer and I thought "I can do better than that, I'm good at school, I can do something with myself, by golly."'When I was studying abroad in Paris, my grandma has just passed away and it was very weird being in her city without her. I remember walking the streets of Paris, and there was this weird thing that happened where I thought 'wow, she'd be so sad that I was so afraid of my dreams that before I even begun, I stopped. She'd be the one person in my corner really pushing me to go for my dreams and here I was so afraid of them that I wasn't even going to try. And I felt this overwhelming sense of regret and disappointment, and at that moment, I just decided I was going to try.'After landing a job fairly quickly in Days of Our Lives and then going on to work steadily as an actress in LA, Ayda met British singer Robbie Williams and decamped to the UK to be with him.Today, Ayda primarily lives in the UK with Robbie and their three children, a family set up she talks about in today's episode as being her biggest triumph: 'I never thought I was going to have this amazing life where I got to be in love and be a mummy. There were definitely times and horrid relationships where I thought I'd be alone.'We discuss all the above, including the products Ayda loves, how she looks after her physical and mental health, and how the passage of time - and having those children - has affected her perspective.Ayda Mentions:YSL Paree Scent, Kevyn Aucoin Face Forward book, Stila Lip Glaze, Lancome Juicy Tubes, MAC Lip Glass, MAC Spice lip liner, Omorovicza Blue Diamond Super Cream, Omorovicza Thermal Cleansing Balm, B683 Marc Antoine Barrois Cologne, Le Labo Santal 33, Rose 31, and AnOther 13, Dr Sebagh Rose Serum, Charlotte Tilbury nude lipstick, John Masters Organics, STRIIIKE in LA, Cowshed massages, Sarah Chapman's facial, Josh Wood for hair colour, Perfect 10 for waxes and tan by Fake Bake or Sienna XBeauty Full Lives is hosted by Madeleine Spencer, produced by Charlie Jones, and with artwork by Sung Lee.

Rose Gallagher

‘As soon as you feel great, however that is presenting yourself - for me it’d be just having something on to feel a bit more polished in terms of my make-up - that impacts the way you present yourself.

Pam Marshall

After the acne episode with Clinical Aesthetician Pam Marshall went live, skincare questions flew my way, so I thought the best recourse would be to invite Pam back as a guest on the show to offer her wisdom.We cover a huge range of topics, including dryness, pigmentation, scarring, ageing, and skin-friendly make-up. As those of you who listened to Pam's thoughts on treating acneic skin will know, she doesn't mince her words and her advice is extremely sound.Some of the products she mentions include:- Neostrata Pigment Control- Chantecaille make-up- It Cosmetics CC Cream- Clinisept (NOTE: after going live, I was advised by Pam and her team that Clinisept doesn't contain Chlorhexidine as is stated in the episode).- Exuviance Night Renewal Hydrogel- Retinols by Exuviance, Medik 8, Neostrata, Murad, Skinceuticals, CosMedix- Exuviance Hydrating Eye Complex, CosMedix Eye GeniusBeauty Full Lives is hosted by Madeleine Spencer, produced by Charlie Jones, and with artwork by Sung Lee.  Hosted on Acast.

Pam Marshall Answers Your Skincare Questions

Gucci Westman

By the age of 30, make-up artist Gucci Westmanhad already had a hugely successful career, working on films like John Malkovich and with a client list which included Jennifer Aniston and Cameron Diaz.Ever after a new challenge, Gucci decided to leave the film industry to try her hand at editorial work. She initially hit a bump in the road with Creative Director Grace Coddington, but once given the opportunity to show what she could do, Grace declared Gucci to be one of the greatest talents she'd discovered.From there, Gucci worked solidly, making up huge celebrities for campaigns and covers of magazines.Gucci's make-up trademark: beautiful, luminous skin. It therefore came as no surprise to anyone who's followed her work that her make-up line, Westman Atelier, homes in on creating juicy, luscious skin. (Side note: I use the Vital Skin Foundation Stick regularly and recommend it heartily.)In this episode, Gucci talks about how she achieved all that while managing to remain balanced and healthy, and also delves into her childhood memories, painting a picture of a girl who grew up with spiritual parents who lived slightly unconventional lives - and for whom make-up was a mere glimmer of excitement on the horizon.Beauty Full Lives is hosted by Madeleine Spencer, produced by Charlie Jones, and with artwork by Sung Lee.

Alison Young

Over her 30 plus years in the beauty industry, Alison Young has noticed a seismic shift in the attitudes of beauty customers. Where once she found herself advising people merely on what to buy, she now more often than not has to tell people to scale their efforts back, buy fewer products, use the things they already have to get the best result. She is unreserved on the topic, claiming many of us are over-egging the pudding.Her views on the role beauty should play are equally as sensible, with her saying to those who have found what works for them: “well done - you’re in control of your beauty, beauty’s not in control of you, and if you don’t want anti-wrinkling and anti-ageing and to try to keep up with the insta image, good on you”.In this episode, Alison and I chart her journey from young girl with chronic eczema and a fondness for horses and dogs who didn't consider herself to be very academic to beauty therapist administering treatments to 80s models at Grayshott to presenter at QVC and award-winning beauty expert.Alison also explains why she doesn't condone cosmetic surgery, which products she uses, and how her appetite to learn has not yet been sated: ‘Everyone thinks when they’ve come out with a qualification that that’s it, they’re great. No - you’ve started. I’m 35 years in the industry and I’m still starting. You never stop learning.’Beauty Full Lives is hosted by Madeleine Spencer, produced by Charlie Jones, and with artwork by Sung Lee. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

She is unreserved on the topic, claiming many of us are over-egging the pudding.Her views on the role beauty should play are equally as sensible, with her saying to those who have found what works for them: “well done - you’re in control of your beauty, beauty’s not in control of you, and if you don’t want anti-wrinkling and anti-ageing and to try to keep up with the insta image, good on you”.In this episode, Alison and I chart her journey from young girl with chronic eczema and a fondness for horses and dogs who didn't consider herself to be very academic to beauty therapist administering treatments to 80s models at Grayshott to presenter at QVC and award-winning beauty expert.Alison also explains why she doesn't condone cosmetic surgery, which products she uses, and how her appetite to learn has not yet been sated: ‘Everyone thinks when they’ve come out with a qualification that that’s it, they’re great. No - you’ve started. I’m 35 years in the industry and I’m still starting. You never stop learning.’Beauty Full Lives is hosted by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/madeleinelovesthis/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Madeleine Spencer</a>, produced by <a href="https://twitter.com/mrcharliejones" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Charlie Jones</a>, and with artwork by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sungleeart/?hl=en" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sung Lee</a>.

Katie's first big beauty memory is unsurprisingly related to her mum. But rather than it being simply a memory of her mum's face or beauty rituals, Katie rememberers her singer mum's microphone, coated in lipstick. That symbol of glamour remained with her, and after a stint working as a manicurist, both in salons and latterly on shoots, Katie pivoted her career to work as a make-up artist.Today, her skills are in demand, working on shoots with hugely famous models (think Ashley Graham and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley), and sharing tips with her following on instagram. She also works with brands, helping to show how versatile their products are, which is how she went on to become ELEMIS' resident glow expert - and how this episode came about as Katie flew to London for some masterclasses and events with ELEMIS and found an hour to sit down and record with me.ELEMIS have kindly offered a discount to my listeners: just use the code BFL15 for 15% off your order on ELEMIS.com.*Also, it would be remiss of me not to thank this episode's sponsors Hairstory. Their hero product, New Wash, is pretty innovative because rather than grab all oils from your hair to be washed away with the water, it leaves your natural barrier intact, so that you can skip conditioner altogether. I’ve been trialling a bottle for the past month and am hugely impressed as I highlight my hair regularly and it usually needs a fair amount of conditioner plus oils pulled through the ends to stop it from looking parched but I noticed it was smoother and less frizzy from the off and after a month is definitely in better condition than before, so I’d encourage you to give it a whirl if you find your hair seems brittle and you’d like to try something new. Beauty Full Lives is hosted by Madeleine Spencer, produced by Charlie Jones, and with artwork by Sung Lee.*Terms &amp; conditions: Offer not valid on gift vouchers, travel sizes, collections or reduced items.

Kylie Minogue

The word legendary is bandied around a lot, but I think it's safe to say that Kylie Minogue absolutely warrants legendary status. And Glastonbury clearly agrees: at this year's festival, she'll be headlining the 'legends' slot.It comes after a particularly successful year in the pop star's career: her fourteenth studio album, Golden, received critical acclaim, and Kylie's ever-ardent fans loved the personal, Nashville-recorded songs.Which brings me to, well, me. I am a Kylie fan. Of epic proportions - she has provided the soundtrack to my life and has inspired me with her quiet grace and inner determination to remain resilient after many of life's wobbles.I was therefore extremely excited/nervous when she agreed to this interview but I quite genuinely couldn't have hoped for more - Kylie was funny, bursting with character, and extremely considered and kind.I know it's generally considered to be poor form for an interviewer to insert themselves into the narrative, but I just wanted to offer an insight into my fandom as I think it's important to mention given that I'm clearly a bit giddy throughout and ask Kylie a fair amount of questions my friend Oliver and I have been desperate to ask her for years as an audience with Kylie is a rare thing and the opportunity may never again present itself.We talk about perms, work ethic, holding onto sanity when living a busy life, where Kylie likes to eat in London, how she kicks back on a Sunday, and the look she'd choose to inhabit from her archive. I hope you enjoy the episode.Products Kylie mentions include:- The Organic Pharmacy Rose Diamond Face Cream- Bose Noise-Cancelling EarphonesBeauty Full Lives is hosted by Madeleine Spencer, produced by Charlie Jones, and with artwork by Sung Lee.  Hosted on Acast.

Mary Greenwell

Make-up artist Mary Greenwell is a beauty industry legend who's made up some quite extraordinary people, including Cate Blanchett, Diana, Princess of Wales, Jessica Chastain, Cindy Crawford, Meghan Markle, Amanda Seyfried, Christy Turlington, and Margaret Thatcher.But the thing that really distinguishes Mary's work from that of other make-up artists is not who she's made up, but rather how very memorable the end effect is. Think of those '80s supermodels sporting smoky eyes and honeyed skin, and you're invariably thinking of Greenwell's work. She famously transformed Princess Diana in the '90s, when she and Sam McKnight modernised Diana's look. And who could forget Meghan Markle's cover turn on Vanity Fair, freckles out, eyes rimmed with softly-smudged kohl?Mary's influence doesn't stop with the people she's made up, though - she was assisted by and was therefore integral in developing the skills of make-up artists like Lisa Eldridge and Charlotte Tilbury, and has advised countless brands on how their products should look and feel.On this episode, I was very keen for Mary to tell us some of her stories from both from her stellar career and perhaps one or two that might offer some insight into how a young girl from West Sussex who, by her own admission, was a 'little hippy' came to be one of the most revered women in the beauty industry. Mary kindly indulged my curiosity, and I hope you'll find the tale of her journey to being a working make-up artist as riveting as I did, as well as, of course, enjoying her recollections of working with some of the most celebrated people in the world, and paying heed to her tips on make-up (those of you who aren't fans of brushes will no doubt delight in her views on them).Here are the products Mary mentions:- Lanvin Arpege Eau de Parfum- Iles Formula Luxury Haircare- Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat- Yves Saint Laurent Number 19 Lipstick- Calvin Klein Original Fragrance- Sisley Eau de Soir Eau de Parfum- MAC Face &amp; Body- Elizabeth Arden Smoky Eyes Powder Pencil- Nicola Clarke at Nicola Clarke at John Frieda- Joel Goncalves at Nicola Clarke at John FriedaBeauty Full Lives is hosted by Madeleine Spencer, produced by Charlie Jones, and with artwork by Sung Lee.  Hosted on Acast.

Make-up artist and beauty industry maverick Ruby Hammer MBE's story speaks of her innate chutzpah and inner conviction, and includes ditching plans to work for the UN n favour of make-up artistry after a chance encounter, hard graft while growing her career as a mum to a young daughter, and launching a huge brand while going through a divorce.Her advice to her younger self? ‘When I was young, I was always an optimist and I was pretty naive, and I think now I realise is that life is not all singalong and happy and you’re going not to be giddy and happy forever. Is it full of ups and down and let downs, whether they’re commercial, financial, emotional. I’ve lost my parents now, I’ve gone through a divorce so I would say to [a younger] me, “just be prepared, Ruby. And don’t lose sight of who you are; integrity means a lot.”'In this episode, we discuss the role of beauty and it's emotional impact on Ruby's life, her move from Nigeria to London, how she ended up going from helping at her mum's restaurant to a make-up artist creating looks for Vogue, Elle, and Marie Claire among others, and what having an MBE means to her.

Trish McEvoy

When Trish McEvoy founded Trish McEvoy beauty back in 1975, how women used make-up and what might be missing from their bags was at the forefront of her mind.She started with brushes, after which she continued to add to the range, but always with the view that products should be hardworking to deserve a place in a busy woman's mirror time.In this episode, she tells her compelling story, and explains how a dash of chutzpah and her innate ability to see things through has helped her enormously in business.She also touches on working as a make-up artist in 1970s New York and her hugely famous clients (Jackie Kennedy and Madonna feature), her thoughts on ageing, and how beauty can act as a mask in the best possible sense.Trish's mentions include:- Maybelline Great Lash Mascara- The Nakeds from the Ultima II range- Trish McEvoy Correct and Even Full-Face Corrector- Trish McEvoy Instant Eye Lift Concealer- Trish McEvoy High Volume Mascara in Jet Black- Trish McEvoy Ultra-Wear Lipgloss in Pink- Jillian Michaels exercise- Dr. Michael Prager- Indochine in New YorkTrish will be in the UK at the end of the month to give masterclasses.

Sinéad Burke

Irish writer, academic, and activist Sinéad Burke had a rather unlikely introduction to beauty as a child: her father worked as an actor and therefore had a huge make-up kit, from which he'd pull gems like Max Factor's Pan Stick before offering his daughters make-up advice.Sinéad's Dad also served as a role model for her in another significant way because he too was disabled as a result of achondroplasia (a genetic disorder that results in dwarfism), with Sinéad crediting him and her family for fostering an attitude that allowed her to grow up with ‘the understanding that if people were cruel to me, it said more about them than it did about me, because if somebody had to go out their way to make me feel small - metaphorically and literally - then they weren’t the kind of people that I wanted to associate with.'In this episode, Sinéad talks about carving out her space on the internet, the joy of make-up (and of learning how to do it from her sister), and how she thinks selfies can be a positive thing.Our conversation was arranged by Molton Brown, who have launched an #OwnYourBold campaign which is designed to nurture conversation around female empowerment by encouraging women to embrace their individuality and help to build confidence among others. The associated scent is the Jasmine &amp; Sun Rose collection.Products Sinead mentions include:- Max Factor Pan Stick - Chanel Coco Mademoiselle - Roads Afrikaans- Vaseline- Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Lip Balm- Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette- Maybelline Infallible Foundation- L’Occitane Immortelle Divine Cream- Benefit Browsings- Benefit Gimme Brow- ELF Compact Powder- Nars x Erdem Blush- Fenty Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter- Max Factor 2000 Calories MascaraBeauty Full Lives is hosted by Madeleine Spencer, produced by Charlie Jones, and with artwork by Sung Lee.  Hosted on Acast.

Nikki Tibbles

As a budding (ahem) florist, Nikki Tibbles was often required to wake up very early in the morning and had little time and even less inclination to put on make-up.Fast forward 23 years, and Nikki's time is even more stretched; her Wild at Heart business is flourishing, and she's also at the helm of the Wild At Heart Foundation, which she founded in 2016, with the mission to bring an end to the world's 600 million stray dog problem by organising rescue projects, sterilising as many as possible, and educating people worldwide.(To date, the Wild At Heart Foundation has rehomed 1,175 dogs - one of whom is my rescue beagle/pointer, Monty, who hails from Cyprus and is utterly delightful - and sterilised a further 16,000.)In today's episode, Nikki discusses the childhood that set her up to be very driven, how she's harboured a love for animals throughout her life (she has throughout her life always owned at least one rescue dog, and has six today), which skincare she finds effective, how she'd choose David Gandy to come to her ideal dinner party, and her 35 piercings...Products, and places, mentioned:- Guerlain Mitsouko perfume- Timothy Han fragrances- Chanel Crystal Eau de Parfum- Miller Harris perfume- Barbara Sturm skincare- Apogii Notting hill- Drunk Elephant skincare- Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter, and Chic-to-Cheek blush- Maria Tash PiercingsBeauty Full Lives is hosted by Madeleine Spencer, produced by Charlie Jones, and with artwork by Sung Lee.
