    395. How to Wear Makeup With Acne or Eczema With Madeleine Edwards

    13/04/2026 | 42 mins.
    Mel and Hannah are back with another jam-packed episode of Adore Beauty Uncensored, covering hair treatments, sensitive-skin makeup tricks and a fresh SPF moisturiser worth taking a second look at. Mel kicks things off with her experience trying Kerasilk’s in-salon keratin smoothing treatment, and let’s just say, it’s a far cry from the hectic, stinky formulas she remembers from her teen years. She shares what the modern treatment is like, how her hair felt afterwards, and whether the results are worth the salon chair time. Later, Madeleine Edwards joins the show to share her expert advice on how to wear makeup when you have acne or eczema. She explains how to apply makeup without aggravating breakouts or irritation, the techniques she uses when her skin is inflamed, and the products she personally relies on. Plus, Hannah's been road-testing the new Clinique moisturiser with SPF 50+ coverage, and she’s a big fan. But does it play nicely under makeup? Is it lightweight enough for daily wear? She’s got the answers. Thank you to Madeleine Edwards for joining us!

    06/04/2026 | 56 mins.
    Mel kicks things off on Uncensored this week with the oddly specific (and kind of unhinged) massages she wishes existed. Then, in Cringey Convo, the new mum chat continues with a very honest look at postpartum lochia. Don’t know what that is? It’s a lot, is what it is. We chat about what it’s actually like, what caught us off guard, and why it’s still not talked about enough. Then we’re joined by everyone’s favourite Bachelorette and GoggleBox star, Angie Kent, who shares her experience living with endometriosis, from the challenges of getting a diagnosis to what it’s like trying to be taken seriously within the Australian medical system as a woman. Plus, if your makeup routine needs to be quick, easy and legit impossible to mess up, we’re breaking down truly foolproof products and techniques we’ve found recently for effortless everyday makeup. Thanks to Angie Kent for joining us!

    392. The Easiest Men’s Skincare Routine Ever & Dealing With Postpartum Hair Loss

    23/03/2026 | 28 mins.
    Where do you start when building a men’s skincare routine? Are lip tattoos actually worth the hype? And what can new mums do about postpartum hair loss? This week on Expert, Tegan and Sadaf are covering practical beauty advice for real life, from on-the-go essentials to the hair changes that can happen after having a baby. First up, if you’ve ever realised you forgot deodorant, lip balm or a hair tie right when you needed it most, you’re probably not Tegan, who runs us through her extensive 'car beauty must-haves'. Then, for Win, Bin, Recycle, it’s all about cosmetic lip tattoos. They’re back and all over social media, promising long-lasting colour without the constant reapplication. Do they actually work? We break down how lip tattoo products work, who they’re best suited for and whether they’re a beauty hack worth trying – or one to skip. Then, it’s a men’s intervention. If you’ve got a guy in your life (or you’re a male listener keen for a skincare refresh), we’ve got you covered. Tegan and Sadaf run through a straightforward men’s grooming routine, covering the essential products that make the biggest difference, from cleanser and moisturiser to shaving essentials and SPF. There are plenty of product recs in the mix, too! Then on Adore Anon, this week’s listener question comes from a new mum experiencing postpartum hair shedding. We explain why it happens, how long it typically lasts, and share haircare tips and product recommendations that can help support your hair through the annoying regrowth phase.

    391. Carolyn Bessette Kennedy’s Exact Beauty Routine

    16/03/2026 | 52 mins.
    Like every other person on the planet right now, Mel is obsessed with figuring out the exact beauty products Carolyn Bessette Kennedy used, and with the help of Yads Cauchi, she might have done it. But first, Mel tells Hannah about the rise of 'lunchtime boob jobs' in New York – a cosmetic procedure designed to be quick enough to fit into a lunch break. Then, Hannah shares some of her increasingly chaotic late-night ChatGPT searches. Friend of the podcast and dermal clinician Yads Cauchi then joins Mel for a long discussion about Carolyn Bessette Kennedy’s beauty routine, from the products she used that you can still buy (including that famous berry lipstick) to the skincare brands she’d probably love today. Finally, Mel tries the viral VT Cosmetics Reedle Shot live on the podcast. If you’ve seen this trending skincare treatment all over TikTok and wondered what it actually feels like on the skin, this on-air test might give you the answer. Thank you to Yads Cauchi for joining us!
