In The Makeup Chair is where beauty meets honesty.
Hosted by makeup artist, content creator and former Love Islander Lana Jenkins - someone who’s spent years behind the scenes painting faces, sharing secrets, and hearing the kind of stories that don’t make the highlight reel - this podcast goes beyond the glam to explore the stories behind the transformations.
From routines and ride-or-die products to confidence, identity, and the realities of life... because when you're in the makeup chair, the real you always shows up.
So take a seat and get ready for a full glow-up.
Dr Motox on Injectables, Skincare Mistakes & Why Everyone’s Overfilling
Trigger warning: This episode includes discussion of aesthetics at length - including needles, cosmetic procedures and skin conditions.
Today, for the last episode of this series, in the makeup chair is Dr Motox – one of the UK’s most trusted aesthetic doctors known for his ultra-natural results, no-nonsense education and calm, myth-busting approach to injectables.
From medical Botox to tackling acne, Mo breaks down the truth behind the biggest beauty trends, the rise of preventative treatments and why saying “no” is sometimes the most ethical thing an injector can do.
He and Lana get into the science of the Botox glow, the real deal with filler dissolving, the ingredients that actually work for your skin and the treatments he will never perform.
