The Ruby Hammer Effect: The Name That Shaped an Industry (S8 E10)

In a world obsessed with the next big thing, Ruby Hammer MBE has mastered something far rarer: staying power.

She hasn’t just survived in beauty — she’s led it and still does.

Ruby Hammer MBE is a name that needs no introduction. For over four decades, she has shaped the way we see beauty — not just on faces, but in business, culture, and self-worth. 

From creating runway looks for supermodels to launching award-winning brands, she has consistently challenged the norms of an ever-changing industry.

In this episode, Ruby gets candid about the grit behind the glamour — from her early days on the shop floor at Harrods, to co-founding the UK’s first inclusive makeup artist brand, to launching her own namesake line entirely on her own terms.

She also opens up about the importance of having discussions about menopause, the heyday of the 90s supermodel era, and the importance of retaining one’s childlike enthusiasm.

This isn’t just a story about makeup.

It’s about longevity, leadership, and the freedom that comes from defining success on your terms.

This is Ruby Hammer like you’ve never heard her: honest, grounded, and unwavering in her mission. A true icon in every sense.
