Paula Joye - Journalist and Magazine Editor (Cleo, Madison, Shop Til You Drop, & more)

Hello and welcome to Beauty Island, the award-nominated beauty podcast that celebrates life and lipstick. I'm your host, beauty journalist, Brittany Stewart. Each episode, I sit down with a guest and ask them about the 8 beauty products that have a special memory or meaning for them. The ones they'd take to a desert island, or Beauty Island, that I am sending them off too. Maybe it's the first beauty product they ever bought, the one that gives them their signature look, or the perfume that instantly sparks a memory of a special place or person. Along the way we find out more about their life, career and the people and events that have shaped them into who they are today. My usual disclaimer in these strange and unprecedented times - this interview was recorded before Corona hit, so I hope you can enjoy it as an escape and adventure into something a little lighter. Today, my guest is Paula Joye, journalist, content creator and founder of The Joye.com, and former editor of some of Australia's top magazines, working across Cleo, Madison, Mode and Shop Til You Drop. She is brilliant, driven, and in a true reflection of her name, utterly joyful. I caught up with Paula in Sydney to talk about working in the halcyon years of magazines after getting her start at Vogue, the musical champions that mark the chapters of her life, the shift of power from magazines to social media and the implications of that, particularly bringing up teenage daughters, and among other great recommendations, her go-to face potion for glowing skin and the best mascara for short lashes. It will also challenge you to look at bumper stickers in a completely new way - you'll have to listen to the end to make full sense of that!
