The Charisse Report

Today’s episode is all about the recent release of Back to Black, the much-talked about Amy Winehouse biopic directed by Sam Taylor Johnson. In this episode I’ll talk about Amy’s style evolution, Sam’s own history, the strong feelings against the movie even being made and I’ll end by sharing my conversation with hair and makeup designer Peta Dunstall as well as my own thoughts on watching the film.

This episode is all about my favourite makeup items that I use when I just can’t be bothered. They’re the perfect multi-use products for those days when your hormones have you wondering if you want to stay married, or the kids have got you hiding in the bathroom for five minutes to compose yourself. These 6 products all have multi-tasking qualities to make makeup easy and quick to apply so you can get on with the rest of your day. If you use any of these, let me know in the DMs @beautymepodcast on Instagram and if you hear me talking about a specific product that you’ve also tried, but think you’ve found something better, I want to know!

This episode is a conversation around the new Rihanna cover for the spring issue of Interview magazine. It’s a cover that’s upset a lot of her fans for two reasons; one, apparently she's just not looking pretty enough and two, she's wearing what looks like a piece of headwear we would normally associate with a nun. It's a real deep dive of an episode, starting with Rihanna’s history as a risk-taker when it comes to fashion, before going on to briefly discuss Interview magazine’s own history as a magazine that doesn’t do safe/squeaky clean content, then I’ll break down the cover, including the team, the image that inspired the cover look, the ensuing backlash and I’ll also look at the woman who first really rattled religious groups back in the 1980s: Madonna. As always, my DMs are open if you want to talk about anything beauty related or if you want to tell me I went too far in my comments on religion – you can find me over on Instagram @beautymepodcast or you can find me on Threads @charisse_kenion or email beautymepodcast@gmail.com. As promised there is also a blog post featuring all of the imagery and art that I discuss - you can find that here: https://www.charissekenion.co/ and of course I've also made a video, which you can find on my Instagram or TikTok.

This week I’m talking about a new FX show, an 8-part series of the Feud - Capote vs the Swans. It’s a show I’ve been looking forward to seeing forever. In this episode, as well as sharing background on this stylish new show from Ryan Murphy, I’m also sharing an interview with makeup department head Jackie Risotto. Jackie recently won the award for best Period and/or Character makeup on the Bradley Cooper movie Maestro at the recent Makeup Artists and Hair Stylists Awards, alongside three other makeup crew. In 2019 she won an Emmy for Outstanding Makeup for a limited series or movie (non-prosthetic) for FX show Fosse/Verdun, a miniseries on the life of actor and choreographer Bob Fosse. More recently she’s worked on Only Murders in the Building. In this interview she shares the products she cannot live without on set and more.

It’s review time and this week it's the much-talked about Lash Clash Extreme Volume Mascara from YSL Beauty. In these short episodes I tell you what the product is, what the brand says about it and break down the packaging, the smell and feel, and give it a mark out of 5 based on whether it matches the claims on the website and how it performed for me. For consistency, when it comes to any ingredients that I mention I will use incidecoder.com, a website specifically created for ingredient advice. I’d love to know if you’ve tried YSL's Lash Clash or if there’s another product you want me to do a 5-minute review on. Email me beautymepodcast@gmail.com or DM me on Instagram or X @beautymepodcast.
