Summary: What's it like to interview the ultimate fashion mag icon, Anna Wintour? This week's guest spills all. We're back for season 2! Hello and welcome to Beauty Island, the beauty podcast that celebrates life and lipstick. I'm so excited to bring you more fascinating, nostalgic and inspiring interviews with insiders in the beauty industry. I'm your host, beauty journalist, Brittany Stewart, and each episode I sit down with a guest to ask them about the 8 beauty products that have a special memory or meaning for them, that they'd take to a desert island, or Beauty Island, that I am sending them off too. Before you go into 'Survivor' mode, this doesn't necessarily mean practical products. Rather it's the beauty products they've come across throughout their lives that carry significant stories or memories for them. Think the product that reminds them of their mum, the first beauty product that sparked that lifelong affair or the perfume that instantly reminds them 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 National Fashion Editor of The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald, Melissa Singer. We talked about what it was like to interview US Vogue Editor Anna Wintour (and what the hell do you wear!), why she reckons she has the best fashion media job in Australia and the realities of dating and relationships that you don't see in the rom coms. Melissa talks candidly about breakups, moving back home with your parents and dating again in your late 30s - and why she decided to write about them too. Plus, her beauty recommendations including the eyeshadow palette everyone should own. Follow host Brittany Stewart: Visit beautyislandpodcast.com for more episodes and BTS action.
