Andrea Lewis is an actor, filmmaker and content creator. In her mid teens she became well-known for her role as Hazel in Degrassi: The Next Generation and more recently she has also gone behind the camera, creating The Black Beauty Effect, a ground-breaking 3-part documentary series on Netflix.
The show analyses and celebrates how black culture inspires and influences the beauty space world-wide and is essential viewing for anyone who wants to understand how far the beauty industry has come.
In this episode Andrea breaks down her acting career – from just 2 years old! – to how she came to the decision that The Black Beauty Effect had to be documented and how she learned to navigate the entertainment industry as an actress and a consumer.

This episode is dedicated to the movie Love Lies Bleeding - the second film from British director Rose Glass and I definitely think it's a future cult classic.

The second I saw the trailer for this film, set in 1980s New Mexico, I knew I had to reach out to the heads of wardrobe, hair and makeup – that’s Olga Mill, Megan Daum and Frieda Valenzuela, respectively.

In this episode each department head shares their prep and the challenges they faced when creating the characters, particularly gym manager Lou, played by Kristen Stewart and bodybuilder Jackie, played by Katy O'Brian.

Love Lies Bleeding came out in the UK last week and has been out in the US since April. Let me know if you've seen it!

Welcome to my Met Gala best of beauty moments!

This Week in Beauty episode is dedicated to the uproar around beauty brand Youthforia and its less than inclusive Date Night Skin Tint Serum Foundation.
In this episode I share a little backstory on former guest and founder of Youthforia, Fiona Co Chan; discuss the criticism of the lack of inclusive shades which saw them literally putting black pigment in a bottle and calling it a foundation; and I chat with Cosmetic Scientist and founder of cult brand MDMflow, Florence Adepoju.
I’d love to know what you think - are you a fan of the brand?
Does this disappoint you?
Or are they already cancelled in your book?
Let me know over in the DMs on Instagram @beautymepodcast or comment over on Threads @charisse_kenion. If you enjoyed this episode do please leave a review or rating wherever you listen as it really helps others to find the show!
Thanks for being here and I’ll see you next time.
