That Beauty Podcast

Celebrities like Kris Jenner, Lindsay Lohan and Demi Moore have been showing up on red carpets with smooth, glowing skin that looks like the youthful radiance of a woman in her 20s. It’s sparked a lot of interest in ageing backwards - but is it possible to do with skincare and professional treatments alone?
We chat to Dr Michael Bassiri-Tehrani to find out the realities of these transformations and what you need to know if facial surgery appeals.
Also in this episode: rediscovered products that are just as good as we remember, Bettina got a new fringe (!), and, as always, our MVPs of the week.

Skin needling — does it work, how much does it hurt, and should you ever use an at-home roller?
In this week’s ep, we’re joined by Samantha Appel, founder of The Skin Bar (the experts in microneedling), to break down microneedling from start to finish. We cover what happens during an appointment, expected downtime, how many sessions you need for real results, and whether it truly helps with acne scarring, pigmentation and fine lines. Plus, Sam sets the record straight on at-home rollers.
We also chat No7’s new Pro Artist range at Priceline, Bettina and Carli stepping outside their comfort zones with Merit’s Signature Lip Blush, and our MVPs of the week — including a LED mask Carli’s been loyal to since November and a glossy hair hero Bettina swears by.

Holiday party season is here! Which means sparkles, bold colour, extra effort eyes and glowy skin… and, if you live in Australia, makeup that’s fighting for its life. Between the heat, the humidity, the sweat, the dancing and the running around from one event to the next, keeping your makeup in place can feel… basically impossible.
So today we’re getting into all things holiday season glam with makeup artist Mia Hawkswell - from how to create a party look that actually feels fun and wearable no matter if you want to go lowkey or all out, and how to make sure it lasts the distance — even in 35-degree heat.
Also in this ep, we put our faces on the line to test Go-To’s blushes, and an easy hack for figuring out your blush placement, and of course, our MVPs for the week (and last ones for the year)
