    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.

    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!.

    This episode is the fourth of 6 special episodes all about the brand new series In Vogue: The 90s. Edit: I mistakenly say that the title of episode 4 of In Vogue: The 90s is The American Moment. That is actually the title of episode 6. The title of this episode is The Rise of the Met Gala. My apologies! The first episode aired September 13th and is showing on Hulu in the States and Disney+ in the UK. As the title suggests, the 6-part series is all about Vogue, the most well-known fashion magazine in the world, and specifically focuses on the power of Vogue in the 90s. Around the same time each episode is released I’ll be sharing these listen-along episodes breaking down some of the main stories and also adding my own 90s beauty moment at the end of each one.

    This week I’m taking you behind the scenes of London Fashion Week. I’m sharing the shows I attended and talking about the hair and beauty moments that the amazing teams created backstage.
