376. MUA Amanda Ramsay on Menopause: Expectation vs. Reality

This week on Uncensored, we’re talking all things hair, getting to the root of scalp health, hair growth technology and current shifts in trends – are more women embracing long hair?

Then, we sit down with award-winning makeup artist Amanda Ramsay for a candid chat on menopause, retiring the term ‘anti-ageing’, and the zest for life she's experiencing in her fifties. Amanda also shares the beauty she’s been loving right now and spoiler: it’s all about glow.

Is this celebrity beauty brand giving Mel the smoothest hair of her life? We tried TYPEBEA’s Repair range – and our verdict is in.

Speaking of hair trends, the ‘bleph bun’ (a term coined by Allure writer Marci Robin) is everywhere, but does this slicked-back look really deliver a faux face lift? We have some thoughts.
