You Beauty Awards: The Makeup Finalists That Sparked Chaos

We're about to turn your knicker drawer into a beauty salon and completely flip everything you thought you knew about blush because apparently, we've all been doing it wrong this whole time. First up: using a G-string to create perfect heatless curls - yes, you read that right. While everyone's been wrapping their hair around socks and silk scrunchies, this viral hack takes things to a whole new level. We're testing whether your underwear drawer might just hold the secret to salon-worthy waves. Then, we're tackling the blush placement technique that's got everyone questioning everything they thought they knew about makeup. Forget the apples of your cheeks - this method involves strategic finger measurements and placement that promises to lift and sculpt your face in ways traditional blush application never could.

In this special episode of You Beauty, Leigh sits down with the iconic Jane Fonda for an intimate conversation about inner beauty, wellness, and the wisdom that comes with 87 incredible years of living. Fresh from her Australian adventures courtesy of Wanderlust True North, Jane opens up about what genuinely lights her up - from her fierce commitment to saving our planet to the daily rituals that keep her vibrant and energised. Jane gets honest about everything from beauty standards to perimenopause, and with her signature mix of wisdom and wit, she's living proof that reinvention and inner beauty is not only possible at any age - it's genuinely inspiring. This isn't just another celebrity chat; it's pure gold - a masterclass in living authentically from someone who's truly seen it all. Sometimes the most beautiful thing about a person is their courage to keep fighting for what matters, and Jane Fonda? She's the poster child.

Beauty lovers, prepare for some seriously questionable advice – Leigh and Kelly are tackling the blurry lip trend that's taking over your feeds! From Korean beauty brands serving up "mellow blurring lip pencils" to Leigh's latest obsession: a fake silicone finger for perfect lip application (because apparently using your actual finger is too pedestrian when you're in the back of a taxi, obviously). We chat layering serums, always go thinnest to thickest, but what happens when you genuinely can't tell which is which? Plus, winter tanning hacks that don't require full-body commitment (because who has time for that?), and Leigh's accidental discovery of the powder-foundation-powder sandwich technique that had strangers asking questions.

From Amazon gems to French pharmacy finds, this week we've got the kind of discoveries that'll have your credit card trembling and your bathroom cabinet dangerously close to overflowing. Leigh's uncovered the serum-skin tint combo of the year — so nice, she bought it twice (in different shades, obviously). Kelly's bringing us back to earth, but in the best way, with a one-litre $8 body wash from Woolies that's gentle on skin but tough enough for whatever chaos your family brings to bath time. We're also diving into Fenty Skin's Cherry Cola Cleanser, which smells like the world's sexiest soft drink and somehow makes your pores behave. Kelly's got actual heart eyes for Charlotte Tilbury's lip contour duo, which has us questioning why this didn't exist sooner!

In today's Tried & Tested, Sarah Marie tests the viral "three fingers" makeup placement technique that's taking over TikTok. Bravely risking her fully done face moments before leaving home, placing contour, blush, and highlighter in precisely the right spots. With her Amazon dupes of Charlotte Tilbury's Beauty Light Wands, Sarah Marie discovers her own hack-on-a-hack: blend from darkest to lightest products rather than all at once for a seamlessly sculpted look. Liv one-ups Sarah Marie with an even more extreme version of her hack, applying ALL her cream face products simultaneously before blending. Tune in to discover why both hacks earned enthusiastic "nail" status, plus Liv's confession about her $16 Models Prefer BB Cream that has everyone complimenting her skin.

Retinol lovers, your skincare prayers have been answered! Kelly sits down with Medik8's Daniel Isaacs (the genius with suspiciously perfect skin), who finally explains why your face might be peeling off when using vitamin A products. From comparing retinoids to coffee shots (retinaldehyde is a single espresso, who knew?!) to the shocking confession that you CAN use retinol in summer, this chat is full of "wait, I've been doing it wrong" moments.Daniel's refreshingly basic routine honestly makes us question why we own 47 products when he's getting better results with three. He breaks down the only trio of skincare essentials actually worth your money, and explains his "start low, go slow" philosophy that'll save both your face and your credit card from unnecessary trauma!
