    A Beautiful Bonus: Dark Circles, Dry Skin, and Suzy’s Secrets That Actually Work

    In this Beautiful Bonus, we’re taking on Kelly’s beauty dilemma: dark circles and dry skin. 👀 Suzy’s in her element here - she’s dealt with this herself, so she’s got the real insider tips. From the right hydrating concealers (and why peachy shades matter), to eye creams, budget-friendly options, and whether “baking” your under-eye is genius or a disaster, we cover the lot. It’s practical, it’s honest, and you’ll leave with a shopping list. Bye Beauties! 💄✨ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Brow SAVAGERY, A White Lie Love Story, and A-Lister MUA Katie Jane Hughes’s All-Time Favourite Product

    This week we’re joined by the incredible Katie Jane Hughes — make-up artist to absolute A-LIST STARS (yes, Dua Lipa and Hailey Bieber included 👀). She gives us her pro advice on how to nail the perfect eyebrow pluck, and spills the smoking hot tea about the hilarious white lie that led to a first date with her now-husband, Tarek. And James finally gets the answer he’s been dying for: Katie’s pick for the best beauty product she’s ever owned. Spoiler: it’s not what you’d expect from an MUA to the stars! Hosted on Acast.

    Margot Robbie's g-string, Studio Fix magic, and makeup secrets with Dáithí ÓSé

    This week we’ve got a first for A Beautiful Breakdown — our very first male guest, and none other than Ireland’s sexiest man himself, Daithí Ó Sé! 😍 We were honestly shook by his surprisingly impressive make-up knowledge, and he spills the beans on surviving 25+ years on Irish television. And yes, we even got him to reveal the special name he’s called by his nearest and dearest — his wife, his son, and… James. (Hint: it’s not Daithí! And it's not 'a Dhaidí' either James!) You do not want to miss this one. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    The perfect mascara, fashion that hurts, and making KASH an Irish beauty trailblazer with Keilidh Cashell

    This week we’re joined by the fabulous Keilidh Cashell — makeup artist, creator, and the brains behind KASH Beauty. 💄 We chat about her quest to crack the formula for the perfect mascara, and how she went ahead and launched a makeup brand even when her parents weren’t quite sure it was the right move. She tells us about the scariest moment she’s faced on her beauty journey, the secret behind building an audience of over 3 million followers, and why mixing business with friendship can sometimes (Suzy 👀) be a recipe for success.

And of course, we couldn’t resist sharing our top three beauty products of the summer — the ones we’ve been absolutely living for. We hope you enjoy! Hosted on Acast.
