TikTok doesn’t just start beauty trends; it speeds them up, amplifies them, and then moves on. In this episode, I analyze the four-year beauty evolution on TikTok, from full-glam influencer makeup to “clean girl” minimalism, skin streaming, quiet luxury, and the ongoing rebranding of what’s considered effortless. We discuss how swiftly these trends emerge, why they fade just as fast, and how this cycle affects how women see their faces, routines, and themselves. If you’ve ever felt like you can’t keep up or wondered why there’s always a “new face” to chase each year, this one’s for you. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode, I break down Kylie’s recent comments about regretting filler, feeling attacked when people point out her appearance, and why her emotional response sparked such a harsh backlash online. On the one hand, being publicly dissected for your looks at any age is brutal. But on the other hand, Kylie and her family helped build an entire beauty empire that thrives on insecurity, perfection, and impossible standards. So where do we draw the line between empathy and accountability? Is Kylie a victim of the same system she profited from, or does that system make it harder to feel sorry for her? And what does it say about us that 27 is now considered “old” in pop culture? This episode isn’t about defending or dragging Kylie. It’s about unpacking the contradiction, the hypocrisy, and the uncomfortable truth about beauty standards that are spiralling out of control and who we allow grace to.

From one “ideal” body to the next, the cycle keeps repeating, revealing a system that’s less about health or confidence and more about control. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

Ariana Grande is trending again after rumours that she went on a date with another married man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Whether or not it is true, the internet has already labelled her a homewrecker. But behind the memes and outrage is a much bigger story about how we view women like her. In this episode, we examine how Ariana’s image as soft, sweet, and innocent clashes with the accusations against her. We discuss how society rewards women for appearing innocent but punishes them for acting "grown."

It reflects how society has shifted from being told what is beautiful to deciding it for ourselves.

In today’s episode, we’re breaking down the rise (and possible fall) of the butt. From the Fashion Nova era to the gym-glute industrial complex, our culture has turned the human backside into a beauty standard, a marketing strategy, a currency, and, in some cases, a personality trait. We’ll explore how we got here, why butts became the blueprint for desirability, how Black women’s bodies were commodified for profit, and why the “butt economy” might finally be declining. If you’ve ever wondered why butts have such a strong hold on pop culture, dating norms, cosmetic surgery, and social media trends... this episode clarifies it all. Listen in and let’s unpack why society can’t stop talking about our butts… and what that says about us.
