Ep. 266: Makeup artist Gabrielle Alvarez talks labels, manifesting, dupes, trends, and why AI is destroying creativity
I took a month off and now I'm back with an amazing guest! Gabrielle Alvarez is one of the most inspiring makeup artists I know. Her work is instantly recognisable for her sheer love of colour and a passion for working with all skin tones. Gabi was my guest back in May 2021, so, as you can imagine, we had a lot to catch up on. In this episode Gabi and I discuss labels and trends – we touch on the whole Youthforia black pigment in a bottle controversy and she’s also the first person to record my new segment: The Final Five. The Final Five is where I hand over the show to my guest as their opportunity to talk about anything they want, anything that’s important to them or something that’s on their mind. Gabi’s chosen subject was AI in the beauty industry. Also, full disclosure, someone, meaning me, forgot to press record on both of my recording devices, so while Gabi sounds crystal clear you will notice I’m not as clear. So I do apologise for that. Be sure to go follow Gabi on Instagram @thegabriellealvarez and head to my insta to see some video clips of our conversation @beautymepodcast or over on TikTok @charissekenion. In the meantime, make sure to follow the show wherever you get your podcasts so you never miss another episode!

Ep. 258: Beauty editor Kayla Greaves on thinking independently about black hair, slow mornings and Kacey Musgraves
This week I’ve got a very special guest, Kayla Greaves. Born in Montreal, Canada, Kayla is a beauty journalist who lives in Brooklyn, New York and over the past 10 years she has made a name for herself as someone who speaks with authority when it comes to all things beauty. Kayla is the former executive Beauty Editor of InStyle magazine and she’s written for the likes of Allure, Vogue and Elle. In this episode we cover so much! We start out with skincare before Kayla shares her early beauty inspirations and also how she’s been embracing a slower approach to her mornings, and life in general. Along the way Kayla speaks passionately about thinking independently when it comes to our hair, and also shares on her experiences of going from the corporate world to deciding her own schedule as a freelance beauty editor. Finally we end up discovering our shared love of music - specifically Kacey Musgraves. This has to be one of my favourite interviews ever, so I'd love to know what you think! As always my DMs are open over @beautymepodcast on Instagram, and you can also find me on Threads @charisse_kenion.

Ep. 254: Creator of The Black Beauty Effect Netflix series Andrea Lewis on being a multi-hyphenate, embracing pop culture and how to pitch a show
Andrea Lewis is an actor, filmmaker and content creator. In her mid teens she became well-known for her role as Hazel in Degrassi: The Next Generation and more recently she has also gone behind the camera, creating The Black Beauty Effect, a ground-breaking 3-part documentary series on Netflix. The show analyses and celebrates how black culture inspires and influences the beauty space world-wide and is essential viewing for anyone who wants to understand how far the beauty industry has come. In this episode Andrea breaks down her acting career – from just 2 years old! – to how she came to the decision that The Black Beauty Effect had to be documented and how she learned to navigate the entertainment industry as an actress and a consumer.

Ep. 253: Behind the scenes of Rose Glass movie Love Lies Bleeding with the costume, hair and makeup heads and why it’s the next cult classic
This episode is dedicated to the movie Love Lies Bleeding - the second film from British director Rose Glass and I definitely think it's a future cult classic. The second I saw the trailer for this film, set in 1980s New Mexico, I knew I had to reach out to the heads of wardrobe, hair and makeup – that’s Olga Mill, Megan Daum and Frieda Valenzuela, respectively. In this episode each department head shares their prep and the challenges they faced when creating the characters, particularly gym manager Lou, played by Kristen Stewart and bodybuilder Jackie, played by Katy O'Brian. Love Lies Bleeding came out in the UK last week and has been out in the US since April. Let me know if you've seen it! If you enjoyed this episode do please leave a review or rating wherever you like to listen and be sure to share it with your fellow beauty or movie lovers.

Ep. 251: The Week in Beauty: is this the end of Youthforia? With Cosmetic Scientist and brand founder Florence Adepoju
This Week in Beauty episode is dedicated to the uproar around beauty brand Youthforia and its less than inclusive Date Night Skin Tint Serum Foundation. In this episode I share a little backstory on former guest and founder of Youthforia, Fiona Co Chan; discuss the criticism of the lack of inclusive shades which saw them literally putting black pigment in a bottle and calling it a foundation; and I chat with Cosmetic Scientist and founder of cult brand MDMflow, Florence Adepoju. I’d love to know what you think - are you a fan of the brand? Does this disappoint you? Or are they already cancelled in your book? Let me know over in the DMs on Instagram @beautymepodcast or comment over on Threads @charisse_kenion. If you enjoyed this episode do please leave a review or rating wherever you listen as it really helps others to find the show! Thanks for being here and I’ll see you next time.
