Ep. 111: Meet the Founder: Olamide Olowe of Topicals
BeautyMe with Charisse Kenion
02/11/22 • 52 min
This week it’s a new Meet the Founder episode. If you don’t already know, Meet the Founder always takes place first on Instagram Live. It’s a really great way for brand founders to connect with future founders and share their experiences. As it’s a live experience, the editing is minimal – so you might hear the odd glitch! But my guest’s advice makes it all worth it.
As the founder and CEO of cult brand Topicals, California-based Olamide Olowe’s goal is very clear: she aims to analyse the culture and use science to create products that truly answer a need. So far products such as Faded and Like Butter have gained massive popularity purely for the fact that they actually do the work.
As well as sharing her story from the beginning, Olamide also opens up about her spiritual side, and themes such as empathy, faith and joy come up regularly, as does her belief in finding the right people to build a successful team. She also hints that the brand is finally coming to the UK very soon! I can’t wait for that to happen and to see what’s next for the brand and Olamide herself; I really think she’s someone to watch when it comes to building the work environment of the future.
I hope you enjoy it and do please tag me when you’re listening and be sure to follow @topicals on Instagram to find out more. If you’d like to see our faces while we chat, then head over to @beautymepodcast on Instagram to watch under my Live section. See you next time!

Ep. 113: What's on my birthday beauty wish list?
BeautyMe with Charisse Kenion
02/25/22 • 16 min
This episode is a really indulgent one; it’s basically a list of all the makeup products I want for my birthday next week! No deep and meaningful conversation here but I still think this episode makes sense because it’s been a while since I’ve been this excited about beauty.
I'd love to know if you've used any of the products I've mentioned and how you like to use them, so feel free to pop into my DMs over @beautymepodcast or email [email protected]

Ep. 114: What's next for Glossier? With TikTok business expert Dulma Altan
BeautyMe with Charisse Kenion
03/11/22 • 27 min
This week’s episode is all about Glossier; how it started and how it's going! If you've kept up with the beauty headlines lately, you'll know that on January 26th Glossier laid off a third of its staff, almost completely from its tech department. Of course the beauty and finance worlds instantly started speculating; what could be next? The Business of Fashion even did a whole webinar discussing 'the demise of Glossier' but really, I don't think it's that deep.
In this episode I speak with the woman fast becoming the go-to for easy to digest TikTok content focused on finance, branding, strategy and more. In her TikTok bio @iamdulma describes her account as TikTok B school for women and she actually kind of predicted the potential pitfalls the brand might face back in November, so I had to invite her on to get her take on what's next for the $1.8billion brand. I also spoke with my friend and very aesthetically-minded Glossier fan @keisha_rachele to get her views as a consumer. This isn’t a clickbait episode and it’s not a bashing episode either; it’s me opening up a discussion, and I'd love for you to get involved too! You can either answer my Q&A on Spotify or drop me a DM over @beautymepodcast or email me [email protected]. What do you think is next? What would you like to see from Glossier? Or are you living in a country that the brand doesn't even ship to? Do you think this episode needs a part 2? Let me know!
Big thank you to Dulma and Keisha and thank you for listening. If you enjoyed this episode please do rate and review wherever you like to listen, and tag me on Instagram to let me know!

Ep. 115: Why family is everything for Sephora Video Marketing Manager Natasha Maldonado
BeautyMe with Charisse Kenion
03/18/22 • 58 min
This week my guest is Natasha Maldonado, Video Marketing Manager at beauty mecca Sephora and freelance makeup artist.
Born and bred in Los Angeles, Natasha is someone I’ve been following for a while because I love the insights she shares into her cultural background as a Latina.
A major theme that came through in this interview was family; it's clear that Natasha's parents have had a major influence on her, in different ways, and even more so, her grandmother, 'Mamita'. At almost 98 years old, Mamita loves beauty shopping and chatter with Natasha and in this episode, her lust for life really shows through. Talking to Natasha I couldn't help but ask where she gets her confidence for appearing on camera, and where she got her very intentional approach to life from. Of course I also ask her how she bagged such an amazing job at Sephora! I feel like this is the kind of interview that will inspire anyone; not just those who love beauty.
Thanks again for listening. Do follow Natasha on Instagram @makememaldonado and let me know your thoughts over on @beautymepodcast. As always I would love it if you could rate or review the show, especially if you enjoyed it! See you next time.

Ep. 116: Deep Dive into viral Euphoria product Nanoblur
BeautyMe with Charisse Kenion
03/25/22 • 16 min
This week it’s another Deep Dive and it’s a super specific episode dedicated to Nanoblur. Nanoblur is an award-winning product from the brand Indeed Labs and although it’s been around since 2011, it’s definitely seen a huge resurgence since Donni Davy, the head makeup designer on the MASSIVE show Euphoria, said that Nanoblur was a must on set. In this episode, as well as looking at how Donni and other influencers like to use the product, I'm also sharing a little bit of the history of the product. I'm also doing a LIVE reaction to me using Nanoblur for the first time, from when I first open the box to trying it over a full face of makeup.
I'd love to know if you’ve used Nanoblur yourself, so send me a DM over @beautymepodcast on Twitter or Instagram. If you enjoyed this episode do please rate and review and be sure to subscribe to my newsletter: https://beautymenotes.substack.com

Ep. 118: What is UK Black Girl Makeup? With Uche Natori, Funmi Monet and more
BeautyMe with Charisse Kenion
04/08/22 • 39 min
This week’s episode has been a while in the making and it all started with a voice note. My friend, beauty editor Ava Welsing-Kitcher, who recently moved to the US, told me how popular the UK Black Girl makeup look was becoming on TikTok and that I needed to take a look. A few hours later and I was hooked; not just on the makeup style itself, which we'll go into in this episode, but I loved the supportive comments shared between the US and UK creators.
The two key names that came up over and over again when I started researching the trend that's racked up 38million views on TikTok, were that of Uche Natori and Melachild. Both creators are based in the UK and have been called the originators of the look that's centred on a highlighted under-eye and seamless blending. I invited both of them onto the pod and I'm happy to say that Uche said yes and our ensuing conversation felt so refreshing and real. At no point did Uche take credit for anything; in fact she paid homage to the makeup artists of the '90s, to drag makeup techniques, makeup artists such as Makeup By Mario and Melachild herself and also commented that American women like makeup artist King Mali Magic are the ones who have long been influencing the trends.
Also in this episode, I speak with Funmi Monet, a Dallas, Texas-based creator and therapist, about why she thinks American women are falling in love with UK Black Girl makeup and there are also some clips from the inimitable Melachild and I share UK makeup artist @v
A note: When I commented on social media that I was putting the episode together and that Uche was part of it, someone sent a screenshot of a 'post and delete' that the UK version of The Shade Room had shared (The Shade Room is like the online black version of a gossip magazine you might find in a supermarket - I think that's the best way I can describe it). In it Uche had commented that the 'clean girl look is low key anti-black' and said black women need 'coverage and structure'. As she deleted it, I'm guessing she realised it was a bit off, because when we spoke, she was very detailed about why black women might prefer fuller coverage for reasons such as hyperpigmentation. I'm mentioning it here in case any listeners thought I wasn't aware. I'm definitely aware but I feel what Uche has to say in this episode has more importance than what she posted. If you disagree then my DMs are always open @beautymepodcast or you can email me at [email protected].
Stay tuned to @beautymepodcast on Instagram and my TikTok @charissek because I'll be sharing some iconic video content too! If you enjoyed this episode please rate and review and be sure to tag me when you're listening. See you next time.
Ep. 119: Talking identity, Americanisms, the Metaverse and beauty culture with London author Navaz Batliwalla
BeautyMe with Charisse Kenion
04/15/22 • 48 min
This week’s guest is someone I’ve admired from afar for a very long time. While I can’t remember when or how I first discovered Navaz Batliwalla’s writing, I’ll always remember how much I love/d the name of her blog – Disneyrollergirl.
London-based Navaz is a writer who’s serious about her research (thank goodness!) and she loves to dive into a subject and write about the culture behind specific industries. Thus far she has written two successful books; one on fashion, the other is all about beauty. In 2016 she wrote The New Garconne; How to be a Modern Gentlewoman and last year, during the pandemic she wrote Face Values: The New Beauty Rituals and Skincare Secrets; featuring beautiful imagery and meaningful conversations, it’s a book I truly adore.
During my chat with Navaz, themes that come up include identity, Americanisms, the Metaverse, her writing process, social media and of course how beauty influenced her earlier years – I loved hearing her share about the time she and her sister dressed up as ‘80s British icon Boy George to go to the local greasy spoon café at a time when social media didn’t exist.
Enjoy this one; because I did! Be sure to tag myself and Navaz when you listen; you can find me @beautymepodcast and Navaz @disneyrollergirl.

Ep. 122: Meet the Founder: Fiona Co Chan on creating viral beauty brand Youthforia
BeautyMe with Charisse Kenion
05/06/22 • 27 min
This week it’s a new Meet the Founder episode, and if you don’t already know, Meet the Founder always takes place first on Instagram Live. As such you will discover that the editing is minimal, but my guest’s advice makes it all worth it.
April 2021 wouldn't be the most obvious time to start a new beauty business, but for San Francisco born and bred Fiona Co Chan, it made total sense. With a background in tech, Fiona decided that she would use social media, particularly TikTok, to promote Youthforia, a brand that has become known as fun, colourful and innovative. And TikTok is the place that really got the beauty industry fired up about her hero product, BYO Blush Colour Changing Blush Oil, a blush that changes colour based on your individual skin pH. In this episode Fiona shares how she started out by doing everything herself, from looking at formulas and design to creating content, something she’d never done before.
She also opens up about the challenges that came with building a brand and shares that the entire experience has been a real test of her resilience and has taught her about her own mental health journey. Be sure to check out Youthforia on Instagram @getyouthforia and tag me when you're listening on Instagram @beautymepodcast. If you want to see us Live and in the flesh, you'll find our chat in the Meet the Founder series on my Instagram page.

Ep. 110: Talking diabetes with nurse and beauty creator Alanna Campbell
BeautyMe with Charisse Kenion
02/04/22 • 45 min
I don't know about you, but I've never really known anyone with diabetes. I've heard rumours that it runs in my family, and heard horror stories about terrible things that can happen if it goes untreated, but aside from that, I've been pretty ignorant. It wasn't until I started following YouTuber and NHS Gastroenterology and Liver Disease Nurse Alanna Campbell, that I began to realise that diabetes is actually an autoimmune disease that can be incredibly challenging.
So I thought, why not bring Alanna onto the pod to discuss beauty and diabetes - and how her first pregnancy is affecting both!
In this episode Alanna shares how she has spent 20+ years living with diabetes, how YouTube started out as a form of talk therapy after the passing of her father, and why she won't ever create content just for the sake of it. Alanna is pretty much how you find her on her social platforms; open and honest and a little bit sarcastic. If we don't answer all of your questions on diabetes, be sure to get in touch over @beautymepodcast and you can find Alanna at @altogetheralanna on Instagram and YouTube.
As always, it would be amazing if you could rate and review the podcast - you can do that on Apple and Spotify now! Did you know I also have a newsletter? Sign up here: https://beautymenotes.substack.com
