Let’s be honest, Christmas is going to be a bit different this year. When I was thinking about some of the things that mean most to me at Christmas, watching Love Actually is at the top of the list. Taking us behind the scenes today is the Hair and Make-up director from the film, Graham Johnston.
Graham’s CV reads like a list of some of the biggest blockbuster films of the last 20 years. We talk Bridget Jones’ Diary, Spiceworld and Trainspotting alongside touching on my favourite Christmas movie.
Here are a few of the things we discuss in this episode that you may wish to take a look at.

Today, world renowned make-up artist Caroline Barnes is joining me to reflect on the year that has just taken us all by surprise. As well as touching on her journey from the beginning, including tales of working with celebrities and pop-stars like Kylie Minogue, one of my most memorable moments in 2020 was being part of a fantastic NHS Morale Boost that Caroline organised and I wanted her to tell you about it. We also touch on her longstanding relationship with the charity Look Good, Feel Better, a charity I also volunteer for and hold very close to my heart.
This episode was kindly sponsored by one of my staple dry shampoo saviours, Batiste. You can hear a little more about their charity partnership with NHS Charities Together in this episode.

Daniel Sandler joins me today to discuss his career in make-up from the beginning. Along the way, we discuss the make-up misconceptions that seem to have made a mark in today’s society, and dispel the so-called do’s and don’ts of make-up.

Today I’m joined by Glasgow’s finest Jamie Genevieve. Jamie’s story really strikes a chord with me because she started her career as a working make-up artist on well loved beauty counters, and I remember the very beginning of her journey because it tied into the beginning of my journey too! We’ll come onto that…
In the present day, she’s a make-up artist with global reach and a community of millions of followers, and recently she launched her very own brand. Today she tells me all about the making of Vieve Muse in a refreshingly honest, step-by-step account.

Today you’re going to meet one of my oldest friends, Nicola Smith, known to many as one of the co-founders of Peaches and Cream. What you might not know is that everything I know about make-up I learned at Peaches, where Kate and Nicola took me on as a make-up artist while I lived in Liverpool for University.
This is such a long and personal story for us so I’ve decided to split it into two parts. Today in part two, Nicola tells us about how the brand evolved from a make-up landmark in Liverpool to a global empire online.
Here are a few of the things we discuss in this week’s episode that you may wish to take a look at. (Gaynor and Jed, I know you’ll be listening and reading, this one is for you!)

In part one, Kate tells us how she and Nicola met at college, and how their journey to creating a worldwide beauty brand began. Later this week, Nicola and I are going to delve into part two and share how a small shop in Garston, Liverpool took on a whole new city centre premises and evolved into a global phenomenon.

Today’s guest is art director, stylist, author and illustrator, Zeena Shah. Zeena is one of the most uplifting people I know. She is always wearing colours top to toe and shares endless tips to upcycle and recycle what you have around you.
In this episode Zeena tells us a bit about her many creative pursuits, how we can all get a bit more crafty at home and enjoy some mindfulness, and of course we talk all things beauty along the way.

Given that we’re set to spend more time at home this autumn, I invited Laura Jackson to talk home comforts on the podcast this week. I think if we can bring some magic to simple rituals, like making an evening meal more special, we can find smalls ways to get by over the coming weeks and months.
Laura is well known for her presenting roles, but her passion for food led her to launch her own supper club with her friend Alice Levine, and create her own podcast dedicated to hosting. So today, I’ve asked Laura to join me and share some of her expertise in the hope that we can find some comfort in the ordinary. As always, there’s some beauty chat along the way too.

Today I’m taking to one of YouTube’s most known and loved faces, Niomi Smart. Niomi is a content creator and author and has amassed a huge and loyal following over the years. In addition to all of this, she’s just launched her own skincare brand and I’ve invited her to tell us all about that today. I really enjoyed chatting to Niomi, I hope you love this episode too.

Today’s guest is novelist, screenwriter, journalist and columnist, Juno Dawson. Since I first met Juno I’ve learned so much about the issues facing trans people and I really admire her for always standing up for the people around her.
Joining me from a cosy corner of Brighton, Juno joins me to talk everything from the Spice Girls to how trans people are represented in the media, and of course gives us a sneak into her make-up bag.
Just to mention, in case these are sensitive topics to you, we discuss things such as body dysmorphia and anxiety, and there are some occasional swearwords in this episode.

Welcome back to a new series of Beauty from the Heart! I’m delighted to be back with journalist, author and mental health activist Bryony Gordon. She’s shared so much of her journey with her readers, from mental health challenges or alcohol addiction. And her openness, in turn, encourages other people to share their stories. I feel such a warmth from her because she is proud to simply be herself.
Today we’re talking all things mental health, how beauty can impact self-esteem, and generally reflecting on musings from her latest book, Glorious Rock Bottom. Just a note – there is some swearing in this episode.
If you have been affected by any of the issues mentioned in this conversation, here are some helpful resources.

Today I’m talking to Gary Thompson, also known as the Plastic Boy. Gary shares his insights on the beauty industry, from how we can all work towards a more inclusive landscape, to the importance of being a role model to younger LGBT boys like him.
We also reminisce on both of our experiences working in beauty in retail, and have a few laughs about experiences with disgruntled customers… if you’ve ever worked on the beauty shop floor, I think you’ll relate to this one!
This episode marks the end of series 2 of Beauty from the Heart. Thank you for listening and I’ll be back soon with more guests to get to know and feel inspired by. XXX

Today, I’m talking to one of the world’s greatest make-up artists, Val Garland. Val has been in the industry for 30 years, known for everything from iconic celebrity photo shoots, heading up teams at every major fashion week show you can think of, and a whole host of memorable magazine covers.
As a judge on the BBC3 show Glow Up, Val searches for Britain’s next big make-up talent. So, ahead of the series 2 finale this week, Val shares her own make-up journey from the beginning, and how her learnings have shaped what she looks for in a great make-up assistant.
If you love fashion or have aspirations of a career in make-up, this one is totally for you!

Today, I’m joined by an award winning beauty journalist, producer, brand founder and diversity advocate, Dr. Ateh Jewel. For as long as I can remember, Ateh has been at the forefront of conversations within the beauty industry about how we all need to work towards creating more of a diverse landscape.
When the world became aware of the story of George Floyd in May 2020, a widespread conversation ignited about the importance of the Black Lives Matter movement. Within the beauty industry, Ateh was encouraging this discussion to create a wider awareness and ignite positive change. So, today, she joins me to share her experiences of being a black woman and mother in society today, and how the beauty industry can work together to create a better future.

From a sunny farm in Vermont, Tata Harper joins me today to tell me how she created her clean skincare brand. When her step father was sadly diagnosed with cancer, her family made the decision to remove all kinds of toxins from their everyday routines. What ensued was a journey of research and knowledge that inspired her to create her own beauty line that was luxury, potent, and clean.
I loved learning about Tata’s upbringing in Columbia, where beauty routines were a celebration and a ritual. If you want to learn a little more about what ‘clean beauty’ really means, this episode will be for you…

This week I thought we needed a good laugh, so I asked tanning expert Jules Von Hep to share every backstage story under the sun. From fashion week drama to total tanning disasters on mainstream television, I can safely say he’s delivered. Please note there is some swearing in this episode, but mostly lots of laughing.
Jokes aside, Jules is also the founder of Isle of Paradise, a tanning brand with an ethical mission to inspire self love and body acceptance. In this episode, he tells us why this is so important to him.

Today I am so thrilled for you to meet Ruby Hammer MBE. Now one of the world’s most recognised make-up authorities, she has been a make-up artist for over 25 years and was one half of the iconic Ruby and Millie make-up brand.
I only met Ruby for the first time before Christmas and I just fell in love with her straight away! Her stories are fascinating and I wanted you to hear a little bit of everything. From the chance encounter that led her to launch Aveda to the UK, to the importance of finding balance and finding value in our lives, Ruby shares it all today.

Today I’m joined by model and presenter Lisa Snowdon. Lisa shares her modelling story from the very beginning, from her early years at Italia Conti to what she learned from her time with some of the UK's best make-up artists.
Lisa always wears her heart on her sleeve, and we talk about everything from her experience of meningitis to the importance of not comparing ourselves to a stranger on Instagram. I hope you enjoy talking to her as much as I did.

This week, I’m excited for you to meet my friend Laura Capon. She’s the Deputy Beauty Editor at Cosmopolitan magazine. In addition to being one of the funniest (and most informative) people for you to watch on IGTV, she loves films as much as I do.
Today, Laura and I are going to reflect on some of our favourite fashion and beauty moments in films from times gone by, with special attention to the iconic movie makeover. We hope this trip down movie memory lane will inspire some joy in your lockdown watch list. If you need a good laugh, this is one for you.

Today I’m talking to Bryony Blake, a make-up artist I’ve grown to love along the way in beauty. Though her credentials include the likes of This Morning, Strictly Come Dancing and the X Factor, Bryony is known and loved for her relatable approach to beauty.
In this conversation, we explore the highs and lows of friendship. Friendships manifest for a reason, a season, or a lifetime, and we’ll be delving into each of the above. From the moment I met Bryony I knew she loved her friends and family as much as I do, and I hope you enjoy getting to know her as much as I did.

Today I’m talking to Zoe Boikou, the founder of Zoeva Cosmetics. Zoe’s story is fascinating; she started Zoeva in 2008 in her living room, with an eBay account and 10 brushes to sell. By 2016 she had sold over 5 million brushes, and today Zoeva comprises over 300 products and tools.
What really struck me was Zoe’s inspiration for starting the brand. We recorded this podcast some time ago, so her ‘new’ foundation is now well and truly out there, and any other references like where we are and any travel were of course part of life before lockdown.

As we’re currently living a life in lock-down, I thought I’d share a special bonus episode with you today, a conversation with Bobbi Brown.
Bobbi is the globally renowned make-up artist who joined me for a conversation a little while ago when she last visited London. It’s short and sweet, but Bobbi has always been such a big inspiration to me so I wanted to share our conversation with you nonetheless. And while we were together we took some time to film an IGTV Q&A which you can find on my Instagram page @RoseGallagher.
Here she is talking all things life, balance and wellness, it’s Bobbi Brown…

Trish is a make-up artist with her own incredible beauty line, and to me she’s really special because she has such a unique bond with the people that use her products.
Trish prides herself on personally hosting make-up masterclasses all over the world. I love that the lady with her name attached to such a successful brand is still personally the one sharing her expertise. You’ll feel the magic and warmth from her as she tells her story from start to finish.
We recorded this a little while ago in case you’re wondering why there are a few references to travel during a time that the world is in lockdown. I hope you enjoy her musings on the importance of time for self care, and the power of taking charge of your own destiny.

Joining me today is Azzi Glasser, a master perfumer who creates fragrances for everyone you can think of. Azzi is one of the most fascinating women I have ever met in beauty, and I love that she is led to create by her instincts.
Azzi works closely with all kinds of creatives, making completely bespoke fragrances for them, whether to wear in their personal life or sometimes to help them get into a new character if they’re playing a role in a film. She counts the likes of Stephen Fry, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter and Jude Law among her clients and friends.
So, telling us about her personal approach to fragrance, through which she finds your perfect scent based on your personality more so than anything else, here's Azzi. Here are some of the things that we talk about in this episode that you may wish to take a look at...

Today I’m joined by a lovely friend of mine, Estee Lalonde. A girl of many talents, she writes an award winning blog, hosts her own podcasts, wrote a best selling book and creates her own jewellery line with Daisy.
Though she’s known for her creative pursuits, today Estee and I are going to talk about our favourite pets. She kindly trusts me to share the story of losing her beloved dog, Reggie, some time ago, and her grief journey. And we talk about the beauty of new beginnings, as she welcomes her new little Effie into her life and tells me a little bit about the Wild at Heart foundation, a charity dedicated to adopting dogs.
I hope you enjoy this episode. Be prepared, it’s a teary one, so if it’s something close to your heart you may want to listen when you have some time to yourself.

This morning I’m tucked away with my friend Hannah at her house in South East London. She’s one of the industry’s most well respected make-up artists and her breadth of work spans just about everything. She’s widely known for her work with many of the royals. For years she worked with Bobbi Brown herself as part of the Global Leadership Team at the brand. She teaches make-up, regularly works with celebrity clients and at fashion week, or hosting masterclasses for the likes of IMATS, Delamar Academy and Vogue.
Today she has kindly trusted me with the story of how she lost her beloved mother, and her grief journey.

Today, seeing us out in style for the final episode of series one, I’m joined by a friend of mine. Meet Amanda Confusione from the global education team at IT Cosmetics, and employee #6 of all time!
Obviously I was going to do an episode all about IT Cosmetics. They’re a really special brand to me, I’m their UK and Ireland brand ambassador, and I get to see first hand the impact of their mission to ‘change the conversation around what is beautiful’. No airbrushing, no retouching, just real women and men celebrating their true selves. We also touch on their work with Look Good, Feel Better, one of my favourite charities.
Here are a few of the things we discuss in this week’s episode that you may wish to take a look at…

I am so excited to have my favourite make-up artists, Sam and Nic Chapman, on the podcast today. What’s so powerful about them is that they’ve made such a huge impact on the beauty community just by being themselves. Over the years they’ve used their platform to speak openly about all kinds of personal experiences, from living through domestic violence to living with depression and MS. Their openness has culminated a community where people feel like they can share and be themselves without judgement.
Today we’re talking about a little bit of everything, be it their first jobs in beauty, the journey to finding a work/life balance and how their early experiences have shaped the women they are now. I loved getting to make this one, I hope you like it too.

Today I’m catching up with an old friend, Amy Conway, the Senior Pro Artist at Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, and Charlie Collins, the Director of Partnerships at Smart Works. Together we’re going to talk about the relationship between Bobbi Brown Cosmetics and Smart Works, a charity that coaches unemployed women for job success and dresses them to fit the part. They’re celebrating their 6th birthday this September!
Bobbi Brown Cosmetics have worked with Smart Works since 2013. During that time they have raised over £250,000 for the charity, enabling Smart Works to open a further six locations across the UK.

Did you know that 1 in 7 women in the UK lack basic literacy skills, impacting their ability to confidently read and write? Today, Lancome share the story of how they work with the National Literacy Trust to mentor young women in the UK with literacy needs.
Emilie Marsh, Director of Communications at Lancome UK, joins me to explain how the two work together. She also discusses her experience as a successful working woman with dyslexia. Billie Dunne, Programme Manager at the National Literacy Trust, explains how this programme helps young women to reach their full potential and increases their employability.
I supported a mentoring session earlier this year and have seen first hand the impact these sessions have on a young woman’s confidence. I was surprised to learn how many people (especially women) struggle with basic literacy skills, and I hope someone listening may be inspired to reach out and seek support if this impacts them too.

Today I’m joined by Dominic Skinner, Global Senior Artist at MAC Cosmetics and judge on BBC’s Glow Up, to discuss the journey of VIVA GLAM Lipsticks and their 25-year charitable heritage at MAC.
To date, MAC have donated $500 million USD to organisations around the world in support of people living with HIV and/or AIDS. Recently, they announced that they have expanded the beneficiaries of the VIVA GLAM campaign to include Planned Parenthood, GLAAD in support of LGBTQ+ rights and Girls Inc.
The full recommended retail price (RRP) (less VAT) of VIVA GLAM Lipstick is donated to organisations that support the health and rights of people of All Ages, All Races and All Genders. MAC also make grants to non-profit organisations they believe can make a meaningful impact on health, rights and equality. Dominic and I have known each other for many years and in the excitement of catching up we may have expressed this a little differently! When I talk about proceeds from the lipstick, and Dominic talks about every single penny going to the charity, this is what we really mean.
