The Colour Analysis Debate | Ep 12

Season 1 · Episode 12

Wednesday, August 19, 2026 • Duration 46:49

Are you a spring, summer, autumn or winter, and should you actually let that decide what you wear?

This week, we’re breaking down the colour analysis obsession taking over TikTok, Instagram and ChatGPT. We chat about warm, cool and neutral undertones, why your ideal colours can change with your hair, makeup or fake tan, and whether professional colour analysis is genuinely worth the money.

From grey blending and blonde that ages you, to lipstick shades, foundation undertones and the eternal question of whether black really suits everyone, we’re unpacking how colour can completely change the way you look and feel.

But should a colour palette be a helpful guide, or can it stop you from wearing the things you love?

Show notes

In Episode 12, we’re asking: what’s your season?

Seasonal colour analysis is everywhere right now, promising to reveal the exact shades that will make your skin glow, your eyes pop and your wardrobe finally make sense. But with so many variables involved, how accurate is it really?

We chat about:

What seasonal colour analysis actually means
Warm, cool and neutral undertones
Why identifying your undertone isn’t always straightforward
How fake tan, makeup, lighting and hair colour can change everything
Choosing between the hair colour you love and the one that supposedly “suits” you
The reality and maintenance of grey blending
Why ultra-cool blonde isn’t necessarily the most flattering option
Balancing your hair, brows and makeup
Warm versus cool lipstick and foundation shades
Why the same colour can look completely different on two people
Whether black really suits everyone
The cost of professional colour analysis and whether we’d pay for it
Why confidence and personal style might matter more than following the rules

We also put ourselves in the Glossy Hot Seat to decide whether we’d rather wear the wrong hair colour or lipstick forever, which foundation mismatch is worse, and the most flattering colours we’ve ever worn.

Tell us what season you think you are and whether colour analysis has ever made you change your hair, makeup or wardrobe. DM us or comment on this week’s episode at @glossypod.

Episode 11 | What's Your Flavour? The Truth About Natural vs Synthetic Fragrance

Episode 11

Thursday, July 9, 2026 • Duration 53:24

Hey guys!

Last episode we explored low-tox living and natural deodorants, but one topic kept coming up over and over again... fragrance.

What actually is "fragrance" on an ingredient list? Why don't companies have to tell us what's inside it? And is synthetic fragrance really as bad as social media makes it seem?

This week we're diving into the surprisingly fascinating world of perfume, candles, cleaning products and home scents. We unpack why fragrance is everywhere, how scent is connected to memory and emotion, why luxury perfumes cost hundreds of dollars, and whether "natural" always means safer.

Along the way we chat about signature scents, MECCA favourites, Ashley & Co, Byredo, oud, rose oil, fragrance marketing, nostalgia, and the fragrances that instantly transport us back to another time.

As always, we're separating beauty fact from beauty fiction so you can decide what actually matters to you.

Also... soz 😂 I was getting over a cold when we recorded this, so I'm a little more nasally than usual.

Show Notes

In this episode we discuss:

• Why "fragrance" isn't actually one ingredient

• Why companies don't have to disclose every fragrance ingredient

• Natural vs synthetic fragrance: what's the real difference?

• The truth behind low-tox fragrance claims

• Why certain smells instantly trigger memories

• How perfume brands sell emotions, not just scents

• Why luxury perfumes cost hundreds (or even thousands) of dollars

• The world's most expensive fragrance ingredients

Episode 10 | Deodorant Deep Dive: Aluminium, Low-Tox & The Crystal Deodorant That Actually Works

Season 1 · Episode 10

Thursday, June 11, 2026 • Duration 36:10

Is your deodorant secretly bad for you? Or is the low-tox movement sending us down another beauty rabbit hole?

This week on glossy*, we're unpacking one of the most debated products in our beauty routines: deodorant. From antiperspirants and aluminium salts to crystal deodorants, fragrance sensitivities, eczema, and the rise of low-tox beauty, we're diving into the facts, the myths, and everything in between.

Hannah shares her search for a deodorant that actually works after developing sensitivities to her long-time favourite, while Jaz questions whether we're being informed consumers or falling victim to clever marketing.

As always, we're not doctors — just two beauty professionals trying to make sense of the endless beauty information overload.

Show Notes - In this episode we chat about:

Hannah's deodorant journey after developing eczema and sensitivities
The Dermal Therapy Crystal Deodorant that's currently winning her over
Deodorant vs antiperspirant: what's the actual difference?
Why sweat doesn't smell (but bacteria does)
The history of deodorant and how marketing changed our views on body odour
The controversial debate around aluminium and breast cancer
What the current research actually says
The rise of the low-tox beauty movement
Fragrance allergies and ingredient sensitivities
Why Jaz can never pronounce aluminium
Gel polish allergies and unexpected beauty reactions
Why "clean beauty" isn't as straightforward as it sounds
What we're currently using and whether we'll switch

Episode 9 | The Reality Behind the Highlight Reel (with Ryan O'Kane)

Season 1 · Episode 9

Friday, May 29, 2026 • Duration 53:48

This week, the tables are turned as Jaz's husband and actor Ryan O'Kane takes over hosting duties and puts us in the hot seat.

From the beauty industry and burnout to confidence, success, social media, motherhood and career pivots, we're answering questions we don't normally get asked. We chat about what we'd tell our younger selves, what success actually looks like now, the purchases we never regret, our dream treat-yourself days, and of course, the beauty products we'd take to a desert island.

It's a little less beauty, a little more life, and probably our most personal episode yet.

Episode 8

Thursday, May 14, 2026 • Duration 34:46

Winter skin has entered the chat.

This week on glossy* Podcast, we’re breaking down what actually happens to your skin in winter, why everyone suddenly becomes obsessed with hydration, and the ingredients worth paying attention to when your skin starts feeling dry, dull or sensitive.

We chat through humectants, emollients and occlusives (without making it feel like a science class), the skincare trends we’re not fully convinced by, winter treatments worth investing in, and whether any of us are really reapplying SPF in July.

We also test and review the new Mile High skincare range from MCoBeauty after they reached out following our dupe culture episode. This portion of the episode is sponsored by MCoBeauty, but as always, these are our genuine thoughts and experiences after using the products ourselves.

Expect winter wardrobe chat, skincare tangents, hot shower debates, slugging discourse and Ryan photo-taking trauma (lol).

Episode 7

Thursday, April 23, 2026 • Duration 51:13

Have beauty routines become way more expensive than they need to be?

In this episode, we break down how to still feel polished, put-together and expensive — without actually spending more. From stretching your hair appointments and managing greys, to figuring out what’s actually worth it in your skincare routine, we unpack the small changes that make the biggest difference.

We also get into the mindset shift around beauty spending, the pressure to keep up with high-maintenance routines, and how simplifying things can often give better results.

Plus, a simple life admin reset — including a quick Gmail clean-up hack to clear out subscriptions and emails you never read.

From questionable first date outfits to skincare routines, cosmetic procedures and hair transplants, the three unpack what’s changing for men in the beauty and grooming space, and what still feels a little taboo.

Episode 5 | Peptides & “Botox in a Bottle”? What No One’s Telling You!

Episode 5

Wednesday, March 25, 2026 • Duration 43:33

Have beauty trends have officially lost the plot?

In this episode, we break down peptides: what they are, why they’re everywhere, and how they’ve gone from skincare ingredient to full-blown injectable trend. From “botox-like” serums to regenerative and performance peptides, we unpack what’s real, what’s marketing, and what’s still a bit of a grey area.

We also get into the rise of ingredient-led skincare, the skin barrier era, and the growing conversation around transparency in the beauty industry — including whether influencers should be disclosing treatments behind their glow-ups.

Plus, your weirdest beauty trend confessions and a few things we’ll never be trying again.

Episode 4 | Dupe Culture: When Inspiration Becomes Imitation

Episode 4

Tuesday, March 10, 2026 • Duration 42:09

This week on glossy*, we’re getting into dupe culture and asking where the line really is between inspiration and imitation.

From beauty and skincare to fashion, fragrance and homewares, we unpack why “dupes” are everywhere right now, why some feel fun and accessible, and why others leave a bad taste. We chat MCoBeauty, Rhode, Zara, Kmart, Charlotte Tilbury, Paris Georgia and more, and get into the bigger conversation around trend cycles, social media, affordability, brand loyalty and the pressure to keep up.

Are dupes making beauty and fashion more accessible, or are some brands taking it too far? And when does a copy stop feeling clever and start feeling uncomfortable?

It’s a juicy one.

If you’ve ever compared the cheaper version, been tempted by the lookalike, or wondered whether the original is really worth it, this episode is for you.
