Dawn O’Porter Talks Beauty, Books and Bold Choices

Skin in The Game

Show Notes

This week on Skin in the Game, we’re joined by the fabulous Dawn O’Porter, who spills all about her latest novel Honeybee, the Guernsey roots that shaped her, and how her grandmother inspired her character names. And of course we chat beauty where Dawn reveals how her signature smoky eye led to a diagnosis of glittery eyes from her optician (yes, that’s a thing), but she kept wearing her dark shadows anyway because, let’s face it, it’s the most fabulous diagnosis ever.

She also lets us in on her Dolly Parton-esque philosophy of always being fully made-up, finding her writing mojo by dressing the part, and never skipping her glam routine.
