In today’s episode we're taking a special look at the hair and makeup of new film MaXXXine. Starring Mia Goth as Maxine Minx, the film is the third installment of Ti West's horror trilogy and is set in 1980s Hollywood. As you can imagine, the fact the film is set in 1985 means that the hair and makeup had to really support a range of characters and I was lucky enough to speak to Sarah Rubano head of makeup and Jaime Leigh McIntosh who led hair design. I'd love to know if you’re going to see MaXXXine, or if you’ve seen it already so let me know over in the DMs on Instagram @beautymepodcast or f ..read more

This episode is a perfume special that features scents from Phlur, Charlotte Tilbury, Fine'ry - all new to me - plus one very special scent that's been my go-to for years. Fragrance can evoke a memory or a mood in an instant and in that sense it’s really powerful, so in this episode I discuss embracing a scent wardrobe, rather than sticking with one 'signature scent' for life. I’d love to know your favourite perfumes right now, so feel free to get in touch over in the DMs on Instagram @beautymepodcast or comment over on Threads @charisse_kenion.

Today’s episode is all about the recent release of Back to Black, the much-talked about Amy Winehouse biopic directed by Sam Taylor Johnson. In this episode I’ll talk about Amy’s style evolution, Sam’s own history, the strong feelings against the movie even being made and I’ll end by sharing my conversation with hair and makeup designer Peta Dunstall as well as my own thoughts on watching the film.

It's a Week in Beauty episode and it's all about the latest Youthforia update. The brand keeps fumbling when it comes to inclusive shades and the entire beauty community has been waiting for an apology over its 'black pigment in a bottle' foundation for over a month. They've finally made a statement on their Instagram page, and it's not really what anyone was hoping for. By the way, if you want to see the visual version of this episode, head to YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CharisseKenionYT I’d love to know what you think – do we even need to care anymore or is Youthforia cancelled for goo ..read more
