Podcast appearances and mentions of Poppy King

Click here to enter our subscriber competition valued at $3,445. In today's episode, I'm delighted to share my conversation with the legendary Poppy King. Known as the Lipstick Queen, Poppy's career has been a testament to the transformative power of lipstick and its profound psychological impact. I first met Poppy during an interview for Vogue at the launch of her second brand, Lipstick Queen. Starting her first company, Poppy Industries, at just 19, she had quickly became a leading name in the Australian beauty industry, earning the Young Australian of the Year award in 1995. Poppy's journey wasn't all smooth sailing. After expanding to the U.S., Poppy Industries faced financial difficulties and she had to close the business, but she bounced back with Lipstick Queen in 2006, which she eventually sold. Now, with her eponymous brand Poppy King, she's come full circle, using her original matte formulas and Melbourne manufacturer from the 90s. Poppy's unique perspective is deeply influenced by her father, a psychiatrist, who instilled in her a curiosity about the human mind. Her storytelling weaves fairy tales and personal transformation, making each lipstick a journey of self-discovery and empowerment.

Beautiful People, I'm beyond excited (and quietly freaking out) to share something deeply personal and incredibly close to my heart with you all today. Beautiful Inside by Beauticate is finally here, marking a new chapter for us at Beauticate. This isn't just another podcast—it's a journey into what truly makes us beautiful, inside and out. Last year, life threw me some unexpected challenges that left me feeling like I couldn't keep up. After years of pushing through, I made the terrifying decision to check myself into a treatment centre to deal with anxiety and some hard stuff I went through as a kid. It wasn't easy, but it was transformative. This experience became the driving force behind Beautiful Inside, where I aim to destigmatise mental health discussions and empower all of us to embrace our vulnerabilities with grace. In this podcast, I'll be sharing candid stories—my own and those of incredible guests like Trinny Woodall, Pip Edwards, and Poppy King—who have faced their own battles and emerged stronger. Together, we'll cover their mental health journeys, self-care and daily routines the profound link between inner peace and outer radiance. We'll also be talking to experts in aesthetics, longevity, wellness and mindset to uncover their secrets to looking and feeling our best. But that's not all—what sets Beautiful Inside apart is the way we will bring the stories to life. As a video pod, we'll be filming in the very spaces that define our guests' lives, from their pantries to walk-in wardrobes, surrounded by all their personal stories and treasures - look out for our Sacred Six (the products and practices our guests swear by for inner and outer wellbeing). This podcast marks a new era for Beauticate, where we continue to celebrate resilience, authenticity, and the courage to live boldly. Thank you all for being part of this incredible community. I hope Beautiful Inside will inspire, empower, and uplift you, just as it has me. So, grab your favourite beverage and join me on this beautiful journey inward.

Has beauty culture come to a stand still? A recent New York Times article lamenting the current lack of cultural innovation got us thinking. We're also chatting about the Goop line for Target; why red is trending (and Poppy King's new lipstick); the genius of the Tampon Tax Back Coalition; how excited we are for Sofia Coppola's Priscilla (and the adjacent Half Magic makeup set); and the potential downside of (supposedly) libido-boosting products for women. Plus, bargains from listeners and a sunscreen with ceramides.Products mentioned in this episode: shopmy.us/collections/281825 Episode recap with links: fatmascara.com/blog/ep-507Sponsor links & discount codes: fatmascara.com/sponsorsPrivate Facebook Group: Fat Mascara Raising a WandSocial media: @fatmascara, @jessicamatlin, @jenn_editSubmit a "Raise A Wand" product recommendation and be featured on the show: email info@fatmascara.com or leave a voicemail at 646-481-8182 Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/fatmascara.

Poppy King has always swum against the tide, and the beauty industry is all the better for it. She first made a splash as a 19-year-old with a line of 1940s-style matte lipsticks when the rest of the world was still wearing frosted pink. From there, she was tapped by Leonard Lauder himself to work with Estée Lauder in New York, went on to launch Lipstick Queen, and has worked with brands including J. Crew, Kate Spade and Boots. Now, she has come full circle, launching a line of lipsticks in her name, manufactured in Australia, and set to take on the world once more.

Poppy King has nothing left to prove. She has created two successful beauty lines, ridden the corporate wave, and done it all with her integrity intact. She's one of the few beauty entrepreneurs with the courage to sit out trends that don't feel right (like founder-as-social-media-star) and speak up on industry issues that feel misguided (the endless obsession with growth at all costs). In this interview, she and Jess talk value-driven success; “humble” brands she loves; why she stepped away from her line, Lipstick Queen; and what she's doing next.Products mentioned in this episode: shopmy.us/collections/208905Episode recap with links: fatmascara.com/blogSponsor links & discount codes: fatmascara.com/sponsorsPrivate Facebook Group: Fat Mascara Raising a WandSocial media: @fatmascara, @jessicamatlin, @jenn_editSubmit a "Raise A Wand" product recommendation and be featured on the show: email info@fatmascara.com or leave a voicemail at 646-481-8182 Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/fatmascara.

What counts as media? For us, its any medium through which we express ourselves — whether from one to one, from one to many, or just from one... to one's own self.  We can do it with our style. Our hair. Even our glasses. They're choices that express not just our aesthetics, but our politics, too.  It was the idea of Poppy King, lipstick designer extraordinaire, whose Frog Prince lipstick was listed by Elle Australia as one of the most iconic lipstick shades of all time. King's a devoted listener, so, in collaboration with the show, she designed a special lipstick. It's called Well Red and she offered a batch of them to us as a donation so that we can pass them on to you. We are offering these very special lipsticks to you for a donation of $12 a month or $144 for a year's worth of support for this show.  Go to onthemedia.org/donate or text lipstick to 70101. Thank you so much! PS here's a video we made of all of us trying it on      

Back in the 90s, Poppy King launched her own lipstick brand at age 18 with 7 lipsticks named after the 7 deadly sins. The Poppy brand grew quickly with a cult following, but when Poppy partnered with an investor about ten years later, their values and vision did not align and things went really bad. It devastated Poppy. She survived. And she thrived. In this episode, Poppy King joins Mia Freedman to share her 5 rules for female founders. From giving up her own name, to working for a huge global cosmetics company and launching and selling businesses - Poppy shares lessons she has learnt along the way and reveals what’s next for Australia’s original Lady Startup and lipstick queen.

Poppy shares how she discovered lipstick at a tough time in her life, revealing how she learned to harness seemingly useless school skills to build her business (despite once getting expelled!), and why becoming an entrepreneur full of naivety at age 19 ended up being vital to her success. Poppy tells the story of the rise and fall of her first business, and how she dealt with the backlash from the media when her relationship with her investors broke down, going on to share the secrets of how she’s rebuilt successful brands time and time again. Plus, Poppy shares why she thinks putting on lipstick is like a superhero cape, and discloses the platform she sees as more important for a product than Instagram.You can find Poppy’s latest brand Femme de Poppy on Instagram at @femmedepoppy.

Today, Poppy King (founder of the game-changing, Australian-born beauty brand Lipstick Queen and author of the popular book Lessons of a Lipstick Queen) might just remind you of the Roald Dahl version of Willy Wonka. But the real story is how at just 7 years old a determination was sparked in her that led to becoming one of Australia’s first well-known Entreprenistas, building an $8M business by the time she was 19 (during a bad economic recession, and without investors or formal business education, and a phone book as a surprisingly important resource.) When the time was right, she sold her business and became an executive at Estee Lauder to learn the corporate ropes. Now she’s launching a new brand. Poppy has worked as hard and sacrificed as much as anyone, but she looks at her story as a bit of a fairy tale.  Now, it’s “Poppy unplugged”, sharing insights and stories she’s never been able to talk about before. She joins Socialfly Co-Founder Stephanie Cartin in the MouthMedia Network studio for a conversation about building her business and career, and describes her journey to success  including the ah-ha moment that motivated Poppy to create, and to help other women; the detective work that’s typical for successful entreprenistas; how she went viral before social media and before going viral was even a thing; the important difference between follower and customer; why she wanted to leave Estee Lauder after 2 weeks but stayed for 3 years; how understanding that possible isn’t always probable has given her energy; and the power and joy of letting go of results. Plus, a surprise.

Welcome to the summer series of Lady Startup! The show where female entrepreneurs share the ups and downs of building an empire. Over the next four weeks, you'll be hearing a series if specially selected interviews that Mia Freedman did with amazing female entrepreneurs on her podcast, No Filter. To hear more of her awesome chats head to... https://www.mamamia.com.au/podcasts/no-filter/ This week's guest is lipstick queen, Poppy King. Poppy King was HUGE in the 90's thanks to her range of Poppy lipsticks.  If you’re a woman over 30 chances are you owned at least one of them, but probably more.  Her first range was named after empowering female characteristics and within 3 short years, Poppy Industries had become the biggest cosmetics company in Australia.   At its height, it was turning over $8mill a year, which was huge in the '90s but in the early 2000s the company dissolved and Poppy moved to NY to work for Estee Lauder. Now she’s back with a new range called Lipstick Queen, available in Mecca, and she talks to Mia about what it was like building a business at a time when female entrepreneurship wasn't a thing.  CREDITS: Guest: Poppy King, Founder of Lipstick Queen Host:Rachel Corbett & Mia Freedman Producer: Rachel Corbett & Rachael Hart JOIN THE LADY STARTUP COMMUNITY: Subscribe to the LadyStartup newsletter at our website... https://www.ladystartup.com.au/ Check out amazing female entrepreneurs or get your business featured on the LadyStartup Instagram page... https://www.instagram.com/ladystartups/ Meet like-minded women in our Facebook Group... https://www.facebook.com/ladystartups/ Find more episodes of this and other Mamamia podcasts here... https://www.mamamia.com.au/podcasts/ Love the show and want to tell us about it?

In today's episode, we're talking to Poppy King, founder of Lipstick Queen. What some of you might not know though, is that Poppy's career started long before she started Lipstick Queen. In fact, it kicked off in the ‘80s with the launch of her first line of lipsticks, Poppy. Her fascination with lipstick started when she was just seven years old. Her father died and her reaction was to get dressed up and do her makeup. That, she tells us, is when she first discovered the power of beauty to transform your mood and make you feel better. Her company was turning over $8 million in the first few years and by 1994, sales were up by 1500%. The first set of seven lipsticks came out in 1992 named after the seven deadly sins and Barneys started carrying them at the Madison Avenue store a year later. The brand got a cult following but it never reached its full potential and ended up closing and being sold. Having sold Poppy Industries, at the age of 30, she went to New York and started working for the Estée Lauder group on the Prescriptive brands before leaving to write her book, Lessons of a Lipstick Queen about entrepreneurship and starting her new brand. Forever the disruptor, in this episode Poppy explains how she got started at the tender age of 18 and reveals why she's chosen to be so open about the fall of her first business. We speak about what she learnt working for Estee Lauder and why she thinks the big beauty brands are getting it wrong. We talk about being fearless and daring to venture where others haven't and what she's most proud of.

Lipstick Queen founder and beauty storyteller Poppy King is offering up major lip service this episode!

She started making the lipsticks she would want to wear when she was 19. Within three years Poppy King was head of the biggest cosmetic company in Australia. She was one of the few young women in our pre-Internet public life and she changed the psyche of Australia in terms of what we could make and what we could export.  And then she disappeared. Poppy moved to New York and Australia’s lips were never the same. Then, this year, Mia Freedman bought a new lipstick in a cool Sydney make-up store and realised it was made by her old friend Poppy.

In 1992, Poppy King set up Poppy Industries selling her own brand of lipstick, and within three years, her business had grown into a multi-million dollar company. She quickly became known as the ‘Lipstick Queen’. In 2002 Poppy Industries was sold to Estee Lauder. Poppy has now returned to running her own company, this time called Lipstick Queen. She has also just released her first book, Lessons of a Lipstick Queen: Finding and Developing the Great Idea That Can Change Your Life.
