Beauty doesn’t start at the mirror; it starts in your energy. We sit down with Nina Gan—BBC‑trained makeup artist, commercial veteran, and sound healing practitioner—to trace how resilience practices like gong baths and kundalini yoga can reshape confidence, soften self‑judgment, and make makeup feel like self‑expression instead of self‑erasure. From Red Dwarf prosthetics to island shoots with Elizabeth Hurley, Nina’s career spans high art and hard days, including injury and personal upheaval that forced a full reset and a new philosophy of care.

Together, we unpack what really changes after 40 and why the best techniques focus on lifting rather than masking. Nina breaks down why “rules” about age and products often mislead.

Expect practical ideas you can use today. By aligning nervous system care with smart, tweaks, you’ll glow inside and out.

A beautiful meditation concludes the show.
