This week’s guest is the amazing London-based makeup artist Bea Sweet. Often compared to Queen Pat McGrath, Bea is the creative behind some truly stunning looks for the likes of everyone from singers Jorja Smith and Twigs to British-Australian actress Miriam Margolyes.
In this episode Bea looks back on the products that really got her into beauty and blows my mind when she talks about her formal music training as a child.
We have an interesting conversation around what Bea classifies as being ‘hot’ and how it differs from being ‘pretty’ and she references some back in the day websites and influences that lean more into the edgy, darker side of beauty.
Also, towards the end of the show, Bea is going to share the 4 products that she cannot live without, and they’re really interesting!
I hope you enjoy this one as much as we did. Feel free to get in touch with feedback over in the DMs on Twitter or Instagram @beautymepodcast or email me beautymepodcast@gmail.com. Don’t forget, you’ll also find some video clips of our chat on Instagram or you can see it on TikTok @charissekenion.
