Beauty Is Political

Talia Emsalem and Maxine Tuyau know that beauty isn’t one size fits all. After years of not seeing themselves represented in the world of beauty, it became frustratingly clear that this industry tends to speak to one demographic: those who meet traditional western standards of beauty.

In the BiP podcast, Maxine and Talia share information on products and procedures for a more inclusive beauty industry, while having important and meaningful conversations. Expect candidness, beauty with a conscience, and a unique assortment of guests – from injectors, to nail techs, to people you might not know yet.

They don’t always have the same opinions, but they do both love a little enhancement (no those aren’t their real lashes), and they definitely agree on one thing: beauty IS, in fact, political.

Is the growing obsession with skincare a way for us to feel a sense of control in our lives? Can a skincare routine become a coping mechanism in a chaotic world, and is that dangerous? What’s the difference between a routine and a ritual?

Also! Talia’s housemate Georgie finally reveals her skincare regimen, and all of her nicknames! And everybody’s stance on mushrooms.
