Katie Service on BTS as a makeup artist and what she's learned about skincare

The Sunday Salon with Alice-Azania Jarvis

This was such a fun episode to record. Katie Service is a former makeup artist and beauty editor who is now Editorial Beauty Director at Harrods - and the author of The Beauty Brief: An Insider's Guide to Skincare. She’s also an old colleague of mine - we worked together on ES magazine, where she became my go-to guru for anything vaguely beauty related. I have to admit: this is not natural territory for me. Left to my own devices (for instance in lockdown) I tend to go a bit feral. So I loved the chance to pick Katie’s brains on what I should be doing now that normal life is resuming, as well as what it’s like to work in such a glamorous and competitive industry - often fielding big egos on photo shoots. Her book is absolutely packed with useful information, explaining everything from how different products work to what ingredients lists mean, and what is definitely not worth wasting your time and money on. I hope you enjoy hearing her as much as I did.
