Where are all the older women in beauty?
In this episode we are asking the all-important question – does the beauty industry have an age issue?
Why is the older generation so rarely represented? Older women are the fastest growing age demographic in the world, so why are beauty brands not recognising this and embracing it in their campaigns? We delve deep into the subject with guest host Nadine Baggot - a YouTube and social media sensation and guests.
Featured are: Guest host Nadine Baggot, Blogger and author Louise Boyce and make-up artist Ruby Hammer MBE.
