In this episode of Gritty Pretty Radio, Eleanor Pendleton (founder & editor-in-chief) and Rose Garnett (beauty editor) chat with the cover star of Gritty Pretty’s September 2022 issue, home-grown Pakistani-Saudi Arabian-Lithuanian supermodel Shanina Shaik.
Having found success on the world stage—gracing the Victoria’s Secret runway and countless high-fashion campaigns—Shaik has been at the forefront of shifting the paradigm when it comes to lack of representation in the fashion and beauty industry. Today, she has a lot to look forward to: a new baby (due any day now!) and a beauty brand expected on shelves next year. While it’s easy to imagine her life as idyllic, her success is not without its hurdles.
Here, the 31-year-old model reveals how she was bullied as a girl because of her looks and mixed heritage, the challenges of working as a professional model before agents and designers embraced diversity and how she has built resilience over the years. If there is one thing we can takeaway from this interview with Shanina Shaik, it’s how grounded and humble she remains.

In this episode of Gritty Pretty Radio our beauty editor, Rose Garnett sits down with media personality, model and host Rachael Finch. Having spent over 10 years in the media industry, the Queensland-native knows a thing or two about the pressures of living in the spotlight. In fact, it was this exact experience that fuelled her to use her passion, voice and platform to create a network that continually supports other women who are learning to tune into their bodies.
Now a successful entrepreneur with multiple businesses under her belt, including her famed wellness platform Body By Finch and her skincare and ingestible line Kissed Earth, Finch has a lot on her plate. Here, she opens up about tuning into her body, the joys of winging it in business and how she takes care of herself from the inside out.

In this episode of Gritty Pretty Radio, Eleanor Pendleton (founder & editor-in-chief) and Danielle Gay (beauty director & executive editor) chat with the founder of ingestible and topical beauty brand Habitual Beauty, Keira Rumble. With a knack for business and a philosophy rooted in healthy living from the inside out, Keira’s first business, Krumbled Foods (vitamin and collagen-rich beauty bites), flew off shelves almost immediately but the story doesn’t end there! Next came Habitual Beauty, a clinically proven and clean beauty brand fuelled by her mission to create gentle skincare alternatives that offered the same efficacy as her cosmeceutical favourites.
Today, Habitual Beauty has amassed a loyal customer base and an online community as Keira has shared many pivotal life moments, from her business success, her journey to motherhood and what inspired her holistic approach to life. In this chat, Keira shares the business lessons she learned that helped her launch Habitual Beauty, navigating post-partum life and what the future holds for her ever-expanding business empire.

In today’s episode of Gritty Pretty Radio, Danielle Gay (beauty director & executive editor) and Rose Garnett (beauty editor) sit down with former aesthetician, formulator and self-funded brand founder Lesley Thornton. Having launched her indie-skincare brand in 2019, KLUR is rooted in a holistic approach to skin health with a focus on simplicity and efficacy. The brand is not only committed to creating high-quality, eco-conscious formulations for diverse skin conditions and ethnicities, but Lesley has shown an affinity in connecting with her community. Something which saw her thoughtfully scale her business throughout the global pandemic (no small feat!).
With a background specialising in natural facial treatments and a value system that prioritises mindful and considered decision making, it is no wonder that KLUR is on the fast-track to reaching cult-beauty status. From where her passion for beauty stems from, the gift of being neurodivergent and how she plans to expand—Lesley spills all!

If you’re anything of a fashion lover, then today’s Gritty Pretty Radio guest is for you. Jenna Lyons is the very definition of fashion royalty. After spending 25 years at American fashion label, J. Crew, as creative director and president, Jenna has built a reputation of tenacity, creativity and a fashion eye like no other. But, for us beauty lovers, her most recent venture may be the most exciting to date.
Launching her false eyelash brand, LoveSeen, in late 2020, Jenna has transitioned into the beauty space with ease. Now stocked at Mecca, the products (ranging from falsies to eyelash tools and glues) are on the fast track to becoming mainstays in makeup kits all over Australia. In today’s episode, Danielle Gay (beauty director & executive editor) and Rose Garnett (beauty writer) chat to Jenna about resilience, her favourite thing about moving from fashion to beauty and how to perfect the art of the false lash.
