Kathleen Hou - Beauty Director, The Cut

The eyelash curler anyone with straight eyelashes needs to try... Hello and welcome to Beauty Island, the award-nominated beauty podcast that celebrates life and lipstick. I'm your host, beauty journalist, Brittany Stewart. If you're new here or you just need a recap: Each episode, I sit down with a guest and ask them about the 8 beauty products that have a special memory or meaning for them. The ones they'd take to a desert island, or Beauty Island, that I am sending them off too. Maybe it's the first beauty product they ever bought, the one that gives them their signature look, or the perfume that instantly sparks a memory of a special place or person. Along the way we find out more about their life, career and the people and events that have shaped them into who they are today. Today, my guest is Kathleen Hou, Beauty Director of The Cut. As the lifestyle, beauty and fashion site of New York magazine, it is easily one of my most visited websites. The content is sharp, smart, light, thought-provoking, nuanced, entertaining and of course informative. All descriptions that apply to Kathleen's work too. While in the midst of a worldwide lockdown, I chatted virtually me in Melbourne and Kathleen in New York to talk about how she found the courage to pursue her passion for writing after a first career in financial consulting, the concealer she's been buying since before she was a beauty editor and is still yet to be beaten, the best eyelash curler anyone with straight lashes needs to own, her tried and tested travel makeup kit for carry on, and the ultimate lipstick application hack from none other than Pat McGrath that will give you fuller looking lips without lip liner. I know that was a mouthful, but honestly she shared so many great titbits and tips, these are just the starting point! If you enjoy this episode, please rate and write a review on Apple Podcasts or
