Finding beauty in home comforts with Laura Jackson

Behind the movie magic with Graham Johnston, hair and make-up director of Love Actually

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.

Caroline Barnes on the beauty of coming together through hardship

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.

The Making of Vieve with Jamie Genevieve

Today I’m joined by Glasgow’s finest Jamie Genevieve. Jamie’s story really strikes a chord with me because she started her career as a working make-up artist on well loved beauty counters, and I remember the very beginning of her journey because it tied into the beginning of my journey too! We’ll come onto that…

In the present day, she’s a make-up artist with global reach and a community of millions of followers, and recently she launched her very own brand. Today she tells me all about the making of Vieve Muse in a refreshingly honest, step-by-step account.

Creating Peaches and Cream: Part 2 with Nicola Smith

Today you’re going to meet one of my oldest friends, Nicola Smith, known to many as one of the co-founders of Peaches and Cream. What you might not know is that everything I know about make-up I learned at Peaches, where Kate and Nicola took me on as a make-up artist while I lived in Liverpool for University.

This is such a long and personal story for us so I’ve decided to split it into two parts. Today in part two, Nicola tells us about how the brand evolved from a make-up landmark in Liverpool to a global empire online.

Here are a few of the things we discuss in this week’s episode that you may wish to take a look at. (Gaynor and Jed, I know you’ll be listening and reading, this one is for you!)
