Talking beauty with: Marian Keyes
The incomparable international best-selling author talks to me about her (other) great passion
This picture (above) was yoinked from Marian Keyes’ Instagram account – let me explain my choice. I’m not just a really big fan of the Eurostar, but rather, this was the picture Marian took on her '“pilgrimage” to the Sephora in Paris.
She had two precious days off work, during a particularly busy time, and instead of sleeping, she headed across the seas to France to pay her respects at the HQ of all things beauty. Thousands followed (metaphorically). Collective and welcome beauty chaos ensued. There were swatches! There were new foundations! There were brand discoveries! It was a whirlwind.
It was at that moment I knew I wanted to interview her for this beauty podcast I was putting together. Her passion for beauty was evident all through Covid when she posted daily about a new find or other, and I felt we were kindred spirits in that regard.
