The Beauty of it All – Details, episodes & analysis

Where are all the older women in beauty?

In this episode we are asking the all-important question – does the beauty industry have an age issue?

Why is the older generation so rarely represented? Older women are the fastest growing age demographic in the world, so why are beauty brands not recognising this and embracing it in their campaigns? We delve deep into the subject with guest host Nadine Baggot - a YouTube and social media sensation and guests.

Featured are: Guest host Nadine Baggot, Blogger and author Louise Boyce and make-up artist Ruby Hammer MBE.

Is the pursuit of perfection leading people to lose sight of how they really look?

Is beauty dysmorphia becoming the new normal in a world so obsessed with social media?

Whether it’s using apps to alter our faces or going under the knife and having injectables, why is it that some of us only seek happiness in what we see in the mirror or from validation on our appearance from others?

In this episode we explore the effect body dysmorphia can have on a person and what we can do about it.

Featured are: Geordie Shore star, anti-bullying ambassador and newly qualified nutrition coach Holly Hagan and psychologist, author and broadcaster Dr Linda Papadopoulos.

When it comes to inclusivity in the beauty industry there are many issues at play; from representation in advertising and social media campaigns, to products that are representative of all skin colours and halal products. In this episode our guests will reveal their own experiences, both good and bad, as well as discussing some of the key issues.

Which brands are getting it right and what should we be focusing on more?

Are women who wear hijab visible enough, what about the representation of non-binary people, or those with disabilities?

We’ll look at all of these issues and pose the question: How can the beauty industry change for the better?
