Summary: Do you really need sheet masks for your bum? And what's the reality of being a beauty expert over 50 on Instagram? Hello and welcome back to Beauty Island, the beauty podcast that celebrates life and lipstick. I'm your host, beauty journalist, Brittany Stewart. Each episode, I sit down with a guest and ask them about the 8 beauty products that have a special memory or meaning for them. The ones they'd take to a desert island, or Beauty Island, that I am sending them off too. Maybe it's the product that reminds them of their mum, the beauty product that defined their teens or the perfume that instantly sparks a memory of a special place or person. Along the way we find out more about their life, career and the people and events that have shaped them into who they are today. Today's episode is the last of my london series that I recorded when i was in the UK the other month. My guest is Jane Cunningham, who you might know as a british beauty blogger. Or rather The British Beauty Blogger. She has almost 40,000 Instagram followers, with hundreds of thousands of views on the blog she started over a decade ago. She's written for The Guardian, The Financial Times, Metro, The Express and many more. She very kindly offered to come to me in London when I was staying with my cousins - shoutout to Andy and Miki for letting me turn their living room into a pop up podcast studio!. The sun was shining on an August weekday when we spent an hour on the sofa chatting all things beauty. We talked how influencer and makeup brand collaborations really work, why red lipstick isn't for her, the ridiculousness of face masks for your bum, and had one of the most interesting discussions I've ever had on the attitude the beauty industry has towards older women and whether it's changing. Plus, she shares her 8 chosen products including the extortionately expensive lip balm that she just can't stop buying.
