Makeovers - a deep dive

Get ready for a glow-up because for the next two weeks on Everything Is Content we’re taking a deep dive into the world of beauty.

In today’s episode we’re looking at makeovers - from Andy’s bangs in The Devil Wears Prada to Trinny and Susannah, we grew up in the peak era of makeovers on TV and film. Join Beth, Ruchira and Oenone to discuss the effect that cultural representations of makeovers have had on us - and how makeover and glow up culture is manifesting itself today.

We’d love to hear what you think about the - sometimes ugly - world of beauty. Chat to us over on @everythingiscontentpod on Instagram.

Make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss our second beauty special next week - where we will take a forensic look at the world of ageing.
