This week’s guest Genevieve Turley is a make-up artist and beauty influencer who has amassed hundreds of thousands of followers on social media thanks to her hilarious take on the beauty industry online. Having started her career as a nurse in the Air Force, Genevieve turned her attention to her lifelong love of make-up and beauty after having had children.

Initially, Genevieve focussed on bridal make-up with Instagram merely a tool for promoting her business. But one day she posted a funny Reel on Instagram and before she knew it, she had gone viral with the Kardashians sharing her post. Now with over a hundred thousand followers on TikTok and well over half a million on Instagram, Gen is a fully fledged influencer. 

Her choices are as varied as her career but throughout you can see Gen’s love of stories that show both the lighter and darker side of life. Gen takes us from the experiences of women in Vichy France during the Second World War and life on a council estate in the Eighties in England to a Quentin Tarantino-penned romantic adventure and an interview series that examines struggles and how people can benefit from them.
