The Cult Beauty Products Shaping History Since 2000

from You Beauty · host Mamamia Podcasts

History is written in lipstick, not ink! This week we chat to Mecca's Chief Purpose Officer, Lisa Keenan, about the Mecca Archive: a tribute to the women, products, and defining moments that have shaped beauty culture since the year 2000. This archive isn't just about products; it's a living record of beauty's culture and its power of storytelling. They explore the most significant shifts of the last 25 years: the rise of wellness culture, the emergence of "skintelligence", the no-makeup makeup phenomenon and how social media helped consumers rewrite the beauty rulebook.
