Working in the beauty industry has afforded us WWW beauty
editors the distinct privilege of proximity to the best and
brightest in the worlds of hair, makeup, skin, and nails. This access
allows us to bring you, our beloved readers, the hottest

recommendations, to expert advice and trend commentary, these
online audio-shows can can be super informative, and also so much
fun to listen to.

When Meghan
Markle‘s makeup artist Daniel
Martin recently spilled the tea on how he covers
pimples during a recent appearance on beauty podcast Gloss
Angeles, it re-affirmed to us that these digital talk-shows are a
bonafide goldmine of beauty advice, straight from the experts we
all love to hear from. Not to mention, they make our soul-crushing
commutes just a little less brutal.

Ahead, find our five favorite beauty podcasts, along with the
best tips we’ve picked up from each. Don’t forget to shop the

Los Angeles beauty editors Sara Tan and Kirbie Johnson host this
pod, where they discuss all things beauty news, products, and the
like. They may be the new kids on the beauty podcast block, but
they bring with them years of industry experience, impeccable
taste, and, of course, tons of knowledge to share.

Our favorite tip: Podcast guest Martin
revealed on episode 4 his go-to cocktail for covering and treating
pimples at the same time. “I mix Cortisone gel and eyeshadow
primer to cover it up before I put concealer on top of it,” he
said. “The Cortisone gel is like a barrier and protects the pimple.
Then I’ll lay eye shadow primer on top of it to smooth it out.
Because it’s so dry, it’s kind of like a film.”

makeup artist Nam
Vo dished on the pre-makeup skincare routine that helps her
create her now famous “glow porn” makeup look. “I will tone, I’ll
massage, like, three layers of oil on, and then I use the
Beautyblender Blotterazzi,” she explained. “I warm [oil] up like
really, really warm and then press, press press into the face, then
I use Blotterazzi to take off the excess.”

Our favorite tip: On a recent episode of the

Our favorite tip: When Kiernan
Shipka appeared on a recent episode, she shared the
secret to her pristine “glass skin”. “The second that I switched
over to Marie Veronique–did the retinol serum, did the face oils,
coupled with the cleanser – that was it,” she said.

many facets of societal beauty standards that continue to bind
feminine identified beings in this world.

Our favorite tip: London-based editorial nail
artist Sylvie
Macmillan appeared on a recent episode to talk through the
artistry of nail design and the properties of strong, healthy
nails. “One of the things that makes your nail a lot stronger is
the shape of it,” she explained. “It’s called the c-curve–it’s
that curve that is on the end of your nail.On your index finger,
it’s often a lot flatter, and so that’s why those ones always break
first.”
