Outspoken Beauty

This is one of my favourite interviews of all time. Hollywood actress and entrepreneur Noomi Rapace (Lisbeth Salander in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo) joins me for an incredibly honest and fascinating conversation about the politics of Hollywood beauty and how she has no shame in being really vocal and fighting these ideals.
Noomi, who has recently launched a breathtaking perfume collection, also talks about her powerful relationship with scent and how she wears a different fragrance for every new character that she takes on.
There's so much more to the interview and I just can't wait for you to get to know this incredible woman.

Later on I talk about some of the best products that I've been testing recently.

This is the place to come for the very best and honest beauty recommendations. In this episode of The Ultimate Guide to Makeup Cher and I chat through a brilliant new product from Clinique, a cheap and REALLY cheerful lipgloss, a super glowy product from Natasha Denona and much much more.
We also chat about a huge event that Cher did recently with Sali Hughes and Alex Steinherr and when to reveal your tattoos at a posh wedding. (Cher's body is a work of art!)
You can find Cher on Instagram @Cherwebbmakeup and get up to date with all the latest podcast news @outspokenbeautynicola.

Zanna Roberts Rassi is the co-founder of Milk Makeup and this is her story of big opportunities in London, true love in New York and the creation of a brand with no boundaries that has in so many ways been a leader in the current beauty revolution. (A revolution that says we can be who we want and wear what we want).

After my amazing chat with Zanna I'll tell you about the best foundation I've ever used, an excellent hyaluronic acid and my naughty little beauty habit.

In this episode I head to Tamara Ecclestone's beautiful home and we have a good old chinwag about great hair, hydra facials, how to grow your lashes after disastrous extensions and also about how motherhood has changed Tamara and how she feels about herself.

Tamara is an easygoing and really down to earth woman and I hope you enjoy getting to know the real her.

Later in the episode I talk about the pillars of a good skin routine and the fascinating brand Mother Dirt. They have produced a range of products to replenish the live bacteria on our skin with groundbreaking results.

In this episode Cher and I have a good catch up about last week’s Outspoken Beauty Live.

Cher shares details of all the products that she used on stage to give me the best glow I’ve EVER had in my life. We also talk about application technique and how the right tools and use of your fingers can make all the difference.

We also talk about Milk Makeup, having orgasms in your sleep (don’t ask!) and how when it comes to skincare, simple really can be best.

The lovely Dr Sam is back for another episode and with summer round the corner she’s here to tell us EVERYTHING we need to know about sun protection.

Sam is passionate about this subject and if you are in any way confused about what protection you should be using, where and when, she’s got all the answers and more.

Later in the episode I review some products from the Revitalash range and also talk about a rather stingy magnesium oil.

For more about Dr Sam have a look at her website. I also swear by her skincare line…it’s one of the best!

In this episode makeup artist to the stars Cher Webb is back for our weekly episode to tell me all about her experience of the BAFTAS 2019 where she was one of the leading makeup artists.

From chatting through some of the looks that she created to sharing her tips for the perfect eye flick and how to create a glowy base that stays put, Cher has got fantastic advice and anecdotes inspired by the big night (where she got rather tipsy thanks to a vodka luge....more on that in the episode :0)

In this special episode in partnership with Dermalogica, I meet founder of the brand Jane Wurwand.

Jane's story is quite incredible. From the death of her father to career advice from her mother that she'd never forget to moving country and starting one of the most successful skincare brands in the world, Jane's story could (and possibly should) be the script for a Hollywood movie.

As well as hearing Jane's story, also expect incredible advice if you're wanting to change career, inspiration and a huge feeling of empowerment. Jane is one of those women who makes you feel that anything is possible.

Later in the episode I talk about the most carnal, astonishing fragrance that was introduced to me by a friend. I instantly ordered it and can't stop spritzing it at every opportunity.

Makeup artist extraordinaire Cher Webb is back from her travels to Bali and in this episode she has loads of top tips about her holiday must haves. From the best sun screens (and one that is not so good), to fabulous bronzers and the one face serum that she is never ever without, Cher as ever has some great recommendations.

Cher is also on hand to answer your beauty dilemmas and has loads of amazing responses to the questions you've been asking on my Insta (@Outspokenbeautynicola).

As ever we go slightly off piste and end up chatting about colonic irrigations and pink Barbie shoes (don't ask!)

Don't forget to book to come to our event on the 16th May. We have about 10 tickets left and you can buy them via Eventbrite. (There's a link in the bio on my Instagram @OutspokenBeautyNicola
