Beauty from the Heart

I am so excited to have my favourite make-up artists, Sam and Nic Chapman, on the podcast today. What’s so powerful about them is that they’ve made such a huge impact on the beauty community just by being themselves. Over the years they’ve used their platform to speak openly about all kinds of personal experiences, from living through domestic violence to living with depression and MS. Their openness has culminated a community where people feel like they can share and be themselves without judgement.

Today we’re talking about a little bit of everything, be it their first jobs in beauty, the journey to finding a work/life balance and how their early experiences have shaped the women they are now. I loved getting to make this one, I hope you like it too.

Here are some of the things that we discuss in this episode that you may wish to take a look at...

Caroline Hirons

This week, Caroline Hirons is sharing the story of how she founded Give and Make-up to support women in domestic violence situations.

We also discuss her partnership with the Eve Appeal, a charity focused with gynaecological cancers, and her thoughts on life, love and everything in between.

Caroline is a very passionate woman, and as such she uses a few pieces of choice language in this episode. There’s some occasional swearing, but mostly just musings from a place of love so I really hope that won’t put you off!

Today’s guest is art director, stylist, author and illustrator, Zeena Shah. Zeena is one of the most uplifting people I know. She is always wearing colours top to toe and shares endless tips to upcycle and recycle what you have around you.

Given that we’re set to spend more time at home this autumn, I invited Laura Jackson to talk home comforts on the podcast this week. I think if we can bring some magic to simple rituals, like making an evening meal more special, we can find smalls ways to get by over the coming weeks and months.

Laura is well known for her presenting roles, but her passion for food led her to launch her own supper club with her friend Alice Levine, and create her own podcast dedicated to hosting. So today, I’ve asked Laura to join me and share some of her expertise in the hope that we can find some comfort in the ordinary. As always, there’s some beauty chat along the way too.
