Listen now
Description
My guests in this episode are the amazing, make-up artists and Youtube sensations, sisters Sam Chapman and Nicola Chapman Haste, aka Pixiwoo. Born in Essex and growing up in Norwich, Sam and Nic grew up with domestic violence in their childhood home. Overcoming these troubled early years with amazing support from their mother they both followed the same m-up route, studying at college, then going on to work for MAC Cosmetics and Estee Lauder. In 2008, during the latter stages of pregnancy, Sam posted her first Youtube tutorial video. Its popularity led her to invite her sister to join in on future videos, and so Pixiwoo was born. They’ve gone on to be become known as the most influential family in Britain, as quoted by the Times Newspaper magazine when they appeared on the cover in Jan 2019. Sam and Nic came to meet me in my London home to chat about their childhood, their early careers, what corners they’ve been forced to turn due to health issues and talk about what they’re planning to do next.
