Beauty IQ Uncensored

This week on Expert, Tegan’s had a great haircut, and she’s officially on board with the matte makeup revolution happening right now. Meanwhile, Sadaf lets us have a nosy peek inside her Euro travel first-aid kit (not sexy, but fascinating) and shares the must-haves that made the cut.
Then, it’s time for Win, Bin, Recycle, and this week the team are rating tubing mascara. In a rare BeautyIQ moment, Tegan and Sadaf actually agree on where it belongs.
Next, Tegan gives us the lowdown on peptides in skincare. What exactly do they do? Who should be using them? And where do they fit into your skincare routine? She breaks down the different types of peptides, how to layer them and shares plenty of peptide-packed product recommendations.
Finally, in Adore Anonymous, listener Daphne has a sheet mask question: once you’ve peeled it off, are you supposed to rinse away all that leftover serum? The team settles the debate.

This week on Uncensored, is beauty entering its soft face era? Tegan and Mel have noticed a growing number of celebrities hitting the red carpet with barely-there makeup, and sometimes, no mascara at all. Is the full-glam era officially on the way out, and are we ready to embrace our natural lashes?
Mel has also discovered a new favourite TLC treatment after visiting NAP Head Spa in Sydney. Think scalp care, relaxation and a very serious dose of self-care. Has Mel finally found her ultimate beauty indulgence?
Then, friend of the podcast and dermal clinician Yads Cauchi is back to talk us through the concept of a moisturiser wardrobe. Because why should we have just one moisturiser? Yads explains why different skin needs, seasons, and situations call for different formulas, plus she shares the moisturisers she reaches for herself.
Mel has found her new overnight lip treatment, and it's one she wasn't expecting to love, and Tegan has a sheet mask that's her new go-to before a night out.

This week on Expert, Sadaf and Tegan are putting their beauty budgets to the test. They reveal the categories they’re happy to splurge on, where they prefer to save, plus all the products they’re loving right now.
Then, it’s time for Win, Bin or Recycle, and the team is divided over... voice notes. Are they a cute way to stay connected or just plain annoying?
Plus, Tegan makes the case for giving your ‘neck and dec’, aka neck and décolletage, a little more love. These often-forgotten areas get plenty of sun exposure and can show signs of premature ageing, so are we really giving them the skincare attention they deserve?

This week on Uncensored, Mel’s got a dry lips hack from... 1911? Yep, you read that right. She’s unearthed an old-school beauty trick that might just be the answer to your chronically cracked lips.
Plus, Tegan and Mel are officially converts to exfoliating body lotions. And before you assume they’re only for tackling body acne, think again. These multitasking formulas can be absolute miracle workers for dry, rough skin.
Then, Dr Phoebe Jones from Beauty By Doctor is back, this time to demystify blephs, aka blepharoplasty. Is eyelid surgery really as scary as it sounds? What does the procedure involve, what kind of results can you expect, and just how much downtime is there?
For PWDKWN, Tegan has a laundry product that is about to blow your mind, particularly if you’re a messy cook. Meanwhile, Mel has returned to a foundation she initially wasn’t sold on, but has since become her go-to for weekend, no-makeup makeup.
And finally, Tegan has a skin treatment recommendation for Mel, who is 40 and has never had one before. Will she be convinced to finally give it a go?

This week on Expert, Tegan walked into the studio looking suspiciously glowy, so naturally Sadaf immediately grilled her on the products behind that radiant complexion, including a K-beauty facial spray Tegan is currently obsessed with.
Then it's time for Win, Bin or Recycle, where hair rollers are on the chopping block. Are they still worth the effort, or have newer styling tools made them obsolete?
Next, Tegan explains why your cleanser might be the most underrated product in your skincare routine. It's not about spending a fortune – it's about understanding your skin type and choosing a formula that works with it, not against it. Expect plenty of recommendations from our favourite skin therapist, too.
Finally, in Adore Anon, the team help a listener who's developed a crush on her gym trainer and wants to know: is it okay to wear makeup to the gym? Tegan and Sadaf discuss the best approach to gym-proof makeup, how to avoid clogged pores and the products they'd actually recommend if you want to look polished without compromising your skin.
