Matthew Layton and Sam Rickard present Studio 1 - Vision Australia Radio’s weekly look at life from a low vision and blind point of view.

This week:

Make-up!

Many of the people we talk to in the course of making Studio 1 lose sight later in life.

On top of all the other frankly horrible things that this loss can lead to, it can mean the loss of the ability to apply make-up with confidence - to put on the war-paint that allows them to go out and face the world with confidence.

So, instructed and inspired by Studio 1’s resident chef-cum-children’s author Jen Gierens, Matthew and Sam have left their comfort zone, and gone on the  hunt for make-up tips.

Sam has canvassed the opinions of Studio 1’s Panel of Experts/Choir of Angels for their advice. We hear from Heidi Rickard, Gabrielle Simmons, Grace King and Carolyn Johnson.

Matthew asks content creator, style icon and influencer Lucy Edwards for help. 

Lucy is eminently qualified. As well as having 1.5 million followers on TikTok, Lucy has a contract with shampoo brand Pantene as the face of both their universal packaging initiative and their Pantene Miracles Silky and Glowing hair care line.
