Beauty IQ Uncensored

Beauty IQ Uncensored comes from Adore Beauty, one of Australia's biggest online beauty retailers, and it shows -- the product knowledge runs deep. The show operates on a clever two-episode-per-week structure with rotating host pairs: Mondays feature Mel and Hannah (beauty journalists) tackling trending products and viral beauty moments with plenty of humor, while Wednesdays bring Sadaf (beauty editor) and Tegan (skin therapist) for more science-driven skincare breakdowns. This dual format means you're essentially getting two shows in one subscription. The Monday episodes feel lighter and more conversational -- think scrolling TikTok beauty content with friends who actually know what they're looking at. Wednesday episodes go harder on ingredients, formulation science, and evidence-based skincare advice. Tegan's clinical background as a skin therapist adds genuine authority when the conversation turns to actives, barrier repair, or treatment protocols. With over 500 episodes, the archive is substantial, though the Australian focus means some product recommendations won't be available everywhere. The 4.3-star rating from a smaller review pool reflects some mixed feelings -- most listeners love the hosts' personalities and the educational content, but a few note the retail connection to Adore Beauty can make recommendations feel like they're steering toward the store's inventory. That said, the show does a solid job making skincare less intimidating and more fun. It's a strong pick for listeners who want beauty education delivered with personality rather than pretension, especially if you're curious about the Australian beauty scene.
