Beauty from the Heart – Détails, épisodes et analyse

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.

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

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.

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.
