Our Biggest Beauty Regrets
2026/04/20
Surprise! This week Mel steps in as guest host while Sadaf is away, and she’s bringing some very niche expertise with her... including a slightly terrifying nail polish hack.
In Win, Bin, Recycle, the team tackles lash serums. Tegan is firmly in the “win” camp, while Mel sits cautiously on the fence. Then it’s time for some brutally honest beauty regrets. From bad balayage decisions to lash extension nightmares, there is plenty Tegan and Mel regret, and they'll tell you exactly why.
Finally, they tackle a very practical beauty-adjacent dilemma: how to get pit stains out of your white tops. All the methods, myths, and solutions are here, so your favourite tee can live to see another day.

How to Wear Makeup With Acne or Eczema With Madeleine Edwards
2026/04/13
Mel and Hannah are back with another jam-packed episode of Adore Beauty Uncensored, covering hair treatments, sensitive-skin makeup tricks and a fresh SPF moisturiser worth taking a second look at. Mel kicks things off with her experience trying Kerasilk’s in-salon keratin smoothing treatment, and let’s just say, it’s a far cry from the hectic, stinky formulas she remembers from her teen years. She shares what the modern treatment is like, how her hair felt afterwards, and whether the results are worth the salon chair time. Later, Madeleine Edwards joins the show to share her expert advice on how to wear makeup when you have acne or eczema. She explains how to apply makeup without aggravating breakouts or irritation, the techniques she uses when her skin is inflamed, and the products she personally relies on. Plus, Hannah's been road-testing the new Clinique moisturiser with SPF 50+ coverage, and she’s a big fan. But does it play nicely under makeup? Is it lightweight enough for daily wear? She’s got the answers. Thank you to Madeleine Edwards for joining us!Everything mentioned:

When Will Women’s Health Be Taken Seriously? With Angie Kent
2026/04/06
Mel kicks things off on Uncensored this week with the oddly specific (and kind of unhinged) massages she wishes existed. Then, in Cringey Convo, the new mum chat continues with a very honest look at postpartum lochia. Don’t know what that is? It’s a lot, is what it is. We chat about what it’s actually like, what caught us off guard, and why it’s still not talked about enough. Then we’re joined by everyone’s favourite Bachelorette and GoggleBox star, Angie Kent, who shares her experience living with endometriosis, from the challenges of getting a diagnosis to what it’s like trying to be taken seriously within the Australian medical system as a woman. Plus, if your makeup routine needs to be quick, easy and legit impossible to mess up, we’re breaking down truly foolproof products and techniques we’ve found recently for effortless everyday makeup.

The Easiest Men’s Skincare Routine Ever & Dealing With Postpartum Hair Loss
2026/03/23
Where do you start when building a men’s skincare routine? Are lip tattoos actually worth the hype? And what can new mums do about postpartum hair loss? This week on Expert, Tegan and Sadaf are covering practical beauty advice for real life, from on-the-go essentials to the hair changes that can happen after having a baby. First up, if you’ve ever realised you forgot deodorant, lip balm or a hair tie right when you needed it most, you’re probably not Tegan, who runs us through her extensive 'car beauty must-haves'. Then, for Win, Bin, Recycle, it’s all about cosmetic lip tattoos. They’re back and all over social media, promising long-lasting colour without the constant reapplication. Do they actually work? We break down how lip tattoo products work, who they’re best suited for and whether they’re a beauty hack worth trying – or one to skip. Then, it’s a men’s intervention. If you’ve got a guy in your life (or you’re a male listener keen for a skincare refresh), we’ve got you covered. Tegan and Sadaf run through a straightforward men’s grooming routine, covering the essential products that make the biggest difference, from cleanser and moisturiser to shaving essentials and SPF. There are plenty of product recs in the mix, too! Then on Adore Anon, this week’s listener question comes from a new mum experiencing postpartum hair shedding. We explain why it happens, how long it typically lasts, and share haircare tips and product recommendations that can help support your hair through the annoying regrowth phase.Everything mentioned:

Carolyn Bessette Kennedy’s Exact Beauty Routine
2026/03/16
Like every other person on the planet right now, Mel is obsessed with figuring out the exact beauty products Carolyn Bessette Kennedy used, and with the help of Yads Cauchi, she might have done it. But first, Mel tells Hannah about the rise of 'lunchtime boob jobs' in New York – a cosmetic procedure designed to be quick enough to fit into a lunch break. Then, Hannah shares some of her increasingly chaotic late-night ChatGPT searches. Friend of the podcast and dermal clinician Yads Cauchi then joins Mel for a long discussion about Carolyn Bessette Kennedy’s beauty routine, from the products she used that you can still buy (including that famous berry lipstick) to the skincare brands she’d probably love today. Finally, Mel tries the viral VT Cosmetics Reedle Shot live on the podcast. If you’ve seen this trending skincare treatment all over TikTok and wondered what it actually feels like on the skin, this on-air test might give you the answer.

Melasma Explained: What Causes It & How to Treat It
2026/03/12
Should you actually sit on public toilet seats? It’s the debate dividing the team this week, as Tegan and Sadaf weigh in on whether it’s fine or whether hovering is the only option. Then, Tegan takes a deep dive into melasma, the stubborn pigmentation condition that can be incredibly frustrating to manage. She explains what actually causes melasma, why it’s so closely linked to hormones and sun exposure, and the key things you can do to help prevent it from worsening. Tegan also breaks down the treatment options available, from skincare you can use at home to the professional treatments that can help manage it in-clinic. Finally, in Adore Anon, a listener wants to know what she can actually do about split ends. Are there products that genuinely repair them, or is the only real fix a haircut? The team shares practical tips for preventing and managing split ends so your hair stays as healthy as possible between trims.

A Beauty Editor’s All-Time Fave Products & a Game-Changing SkinCeuticals Serum
2026/03/10
This week on Uncensored, Mel and Hannah dive into the weird, wonderful and slightly questionable things living in our handbags… and what might also be living on them. From loose lip balms and snack crumbs to rogue hair ties and mystery receipts, Mel and Hannah compare the chaotic contents of their bags and discuss the surprising amount of bacteria handbags can harbour if they’re never cleaned. We’ve also got long-time Australian beauty editor Sarah Tarca and co-creator of beauty newsletter Gloss Etc. on the show to talk through the products she’s loved most throughout her career in beauty. Skincare staples, makeup she refuses to give up, and a discontinued perfume she still mourns, plus the fragrance she now wears that gets constant compliments and acts as a close semi-dupe. Hannah has always been a fan of cult Skinceuticals serum C E Ferulic, but she recently branched out into other products from the Skinceuticals lineup, discovering a few under-the-radar formulas that deserve just as much attention. She shares what she’s been testing, what surprised her, and which products might be worth adding to your routine if you’re already a fan of the brand.

Under-Eye Concealer Hacks & How To Treat An Accidental Sunburn
2026/03/05
This week on Expert, Sadaf and Tegan are all about tough love. Got sunburnt? They’re not mad, they’re just disappointed! Still, it happens to all of us sometimes, but there are ways to cope with an accidental one. But first up, Sadaf shares a game-changing under-eye concealer trick from TikTok for amazing dark circle coverage, and Tegan jumps in with her own clever hack for setting concealer without the creases. How to avoid emphasising fine lines + concealer that lasts the distance? Yes, please. Then it’s Win, Bin, Recycle: lash curlers. Are the scary-looking contraptions an essential step or a relic from 2003? The team debates whether they’re worth the effort. And yep, we’ve all been there. Accidental sunburn. Sadaf and Tegan break down immediate steps to calm inflamed skin, ingredients that help vs ingredients that will make it all worse, the active skincare products to pause, and what in-clinic treatments you can and can’t get done while your skin is healing. Finally, a listener needs advice: she’s got the crotch sweats. Tegan and Sadaf talk fabric choices that can make a difference, whether antiperspirant is an option and products you can use (and where).Everything mentioned:

The Nina Park Lip, a Hard Foot Skin Hack & a Viral K18 Review
2026/03/03
Mel and Hannah are back, and there’s a new mini in town! Hannah catches us up on baby Mila and newborn life. This week’s episode covers everything from red carpet glam to peeling heels, so strap in.First up, we’re talking cracked heels. You know that thick, dry heel skin that no amount of body lotion can fix? Hannah’s figured out how to get rid of it, but Mel also has some historically excellent (and gross) tools for anyone who gets weird satisfaction out of bits of dead skin coming off their feet. We break down what actually works on stubborn hard skin, how to avoid overdoing it (because yes, you absolutely can) and the one method that really delivers.Then, the ladies are joined by makeup artist and Senior Editor at Fashion Journal, Lara Daly, who has been perfecting her recreation of the 'Nina Park Lip'. If you’ve been watching red carpets lately and wondering why everyone from Emma Stone to Jessie Buckley’s lips look softly blurred, perfectly lined, but not overdone? That’s thanks to Hollywood makeup artist Nina Park. Lara tells us the secret to that diffused, pillowy lip finish, why precise liner placement matters more than overlining, and the skin-first approach that makes the whole look feel modern. Plus, does it work for everyday, not just the red carpet?And Mel finally puts the internet-famous K18 AirWash Dry Shampoo to the test. After blowing up on social media with claims it’s “not like other dry shampoos”, Mel gives her honest, unfiltered verdict: Does it actually absorb oil? Does it leave buildup? Is it worth the price tag? And who will love it — and who should skip it?Thank you to Lara Daly from Fashion Journal for joining us! Everything mentioned:
