About this listen

Featured as one of the Top 10 podcasts by Harpers Bazaar and a must listen by Stylist, Glamour, Good Housekeeping and Vogue Italy, Outspoken Beauty is the UK's most honest, straight talking beauty and wellbeing podcast that uses beauty as a way to start powerful conversations. It's hosted by beauty columnist and broadcaster Nicola Bonn. As well as great product recommendations and tips expect conversations with an array of experts, specialists and inspiring humans that cover everything from the joy of lipstick, skincare and supplements to debates around ageism, diversity, self pleasure and challenging the status quo. This is a podcast for anyone who finds joy in beauty, who wants to feel great about themselves in a way that is so much more than just skin deep and who wants the confidence to find beauty in who they are rather than what society expects of them. Prepare to be challenged, informed and inspired!Nicola Bonn Art Economics Social Sciences

  • Skincare Ingredient 101
    Feb 20 2026

    It's just me this week and I'm talking through all of the latest skincare ingredients and what they do as I know a lot of us are a bit confused!

    This is mostly thanks to a brilliant piece published by Look Fantastic (I went to an event that they held yesterday and they gave everyone a little newspaper with loads of great info and stats) which inspired this episode.

    So if you want to know what peptides, collagen and PDRN can (and can't) do for your skin, you're in the right place.

  • The Outspoken Review - Incredible Female Founded Makeup Brands
    Feb 17 2026

    In this week's Outspoken Review I'm going into detail about the incredible makeup brands at the Beauty Concierge pop-up in Covent Garden. When I went there on Friday I spent time with some wonderful founders including Really Ree (Reeson), Suzy Griffin Dunne (Hildun) and Ruth Reneé de Leo (Dcypher and the woman behind the pop-up). Rum mascara by Sali Hughes, Sam Chapman and Jo Jones were also there.

    During the episode I talk about my favourite products from each brand and why I rate them so highly.

    If you have a chance to go there I thoroughly recommend it. Here's the link.
