You Beauty

On today’s episode, Kelly McCarren is joined by Mamamia’s Beauty and Health Editor, Erin Docherty, to dish on the latest beauty news, including why retail giants Mecca and Sephora are among eight brands forced to pull products containing banned microbeads from their shelves. Then we’re tackling your burning beauty questions, from how to banish stubborn blackheads once and for all to how to nail a sleek, slicked-back bun without snapping your strands. Plus, Erin’s jumped back on the retinol train with a new MVP she can’t stop raving about, and Kelly reckons she’s found the ultimate setting spray that promises to lock your makeup in place. So, of course, we put it to the test live in the studio.
