    Ep. 281: How iconic beauties of the ‘70s and the fashion and music of the ‘90s inspired makeup artist James Boehmer to dream, discover and create

    Today’s guest is makeup artist James Boehmer, whose dreams took him from St. Louis, Missouri, to New York, to Japan – working at one of the most influential makeup brands in the world: Nars. In this episode James shares how he got to where he is today but also shares where he started, as a little queer kid growing up in St. Louis and watching glamazons such as Donna Summer and Debbie Harry on television. James shares some amazing stories from the late ‘90s when he first began working for Nars and how his entire life changed when he began working in Japan after the brand was purchased by Shiseido in 2000. James also shares on the differences between living and working in hectic Manhattan to the quieter, slower surroundings of Connecticut and how he’s finding the early days of opening a new store, Peggy Mercury. EDIT: In the episode intro I say that James moved to Japan; this is not the case. Although he travelled there often throughout his role at Shiseido, he was never a resident.

    Ep. 280: Curating your social media, the beauty of makeup at the movies and building a new identity with OG beauty YouTuber Sam Chapman, formerly of Pixiwoo

    This week I’m chatting to a very special guest; makeup artist Sam Chapman. Some of you will definitely know Sam as one half of the truly iconic beauty Youtuber duo Pixiwoo. Alongside her sister Nicola, Sam created makeup tutorials that gained them a huge following and also resulted in them creating the brilliant makeup brush range, Real Techniques. In 2020 Sam retired from the beauty community but recently she made a quiet return to YouTube. In this episode Sam shares on everything she learned from being so active on YouTube, to why she walked away and why she's loving what she creates today. We cover so much in this chat from why it's so important to curate the social media that you want to see to how to re-envision yourself as a solo creator after being one half of an extremely successful creative and business duo. I would love to know what you think of this one, so don't forget to let me know in the DMs over on Instagram @charisse_kenion, or find me on Threads at @charisse_kenion.

    Ep. 278: The Week in Beauty; the highs, lows and history of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show – plus Meet the Founder with Skinfix’s Amy Gordinier

    It's the episode I didn't think I was going to make, because I didn't think I would end up watching the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show making its comeback. In this episode I'm sharing a brief history of the brand before sharing my first impressions, and then I go through the show itself moment by moment. Finally I share my highs to balance out the lows. The second segment is an interview with Amy Gordinier, the founder of Skinfix and an entrepreneur who’s focused on giving all of us our best skin ever. Let me know if you enjoyed the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show over in the DMs @charisse_kenion on Instagram or find me on Threads @charisse_kenion and you can also let me know direct on Spotify if that's where you're listening.

    Ep. 277: Talking makeup, art, subjectivity and making your foundation last longer with Dom Skinner Director of Makeup Artistry at MAC Cosmetics

    In this episode I talk to the brilliant Dominic Skinner, Director of Makeup Artistry at MAC Cosmetics and it is SUCH a good chat. Many of you will know Dom and his signature moustache from the hit TV show Glow Up, currently on Netflix, but he’s been working at MAC for 20 years now, so you can imagine how many stories he has to share. We cover Dom’s early days of working at MAC Cosmetics and he shares a wide array of life insights from how he truly embraced who he was, how he adapted after divorce and how he learned to be more selfish with his time. Of course we also talk about his new book, Glowography which is out October 24th! This is a great episode for anyone who wants to know more about working in makeup but it’s also the perfect wake-up call for anyone who needs to hear it. Let me know if you enjoyed this episode over in the DMs @charisse_kenion on Instagram or find me on Threads @charisse_kenion and if you really want to show me how much you enjoyed it do feel free to write a review on Apple Podcasts or give the show a rating on Spotify.

    Ep. 276: How 80s bodybuilder Lisa Lyon changed beauty standards forever

    Lisa Lyon is a legend in the bodybuilding industry. She won the first ever Women's World Pro Bodybuilding Championship, released her own workout book, and carried the icon Arnold Schwarzenegger on her shoulders. But Lisa Lyon was more than a bodybuilder and she definitely wasn't a 'gym bunny'. She was a dancer, actress and a performance artist intent on communicating through her body. I’d love to know if you already knew of Lisa, or if she’s inspired you in some way after listening. By the way, this episode is also available on YouTube as a full-length video so if you want to see more of the woman this episode is dedicated to, head here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCtsTbMIcyI&t=304s If you enjoyed this episode do please leave a review or a rating wherever you're listening and if you're listening on Spotify feel free to leave me a comment so we can chat!.
