We discuss what the future of makeup could look like (IRL, in the metaverse, and using VR glasses and headsets); the psychological effects of face filters; how she uses artificial intelligence in her art; and what she does as the global creative e-makeup director for Prada Beauty.

Super Modeling with Linda Evangelista Nov 10, 2023

We’re revisiting our chat with model Linda Evangelista—something we’ve wanted to do since Apple TV’s The Super Models documentary came out earlier this fall. In this interview (originally recorded in 2017), she tells us about the power of the shabath (that’s a shower-bath for the uninitiated) and shares stories of her work with Gianni Versace, George Michael, and hairstylists Julien d’Ys and Garren. Plus, we discuss Dashing Diva manicures, facials with Georgia Louise, micro-current devices, and why she sleeps with stereo humidifiers.

“Every culture in history has used natural scented materials for the most important things in life—eating, praying, making love, being buried,” says psychotherapist turned natural perfumer Mandy Aftel, in this fascinating interview.

The Glossy Book Club with Marisa Meltzer Oct 06, 2023

Listen in to our live-recorded podcast with Marisa Meltzer, the author of Glossy: Ambition, Beauty, and the Inside Story of Emily Weiss's Glossier. We treated this interview as a book club of sorts, and asked Marisa all of your (and our!) pressing questions. She discusses her interviews with Emily Weiss, the rise (and plateau?) of Glossier, her reporting process for the book, why the #GirlBoss era feels so cringey now, and—most importantly—who should play Emily Weiss when Marisa’s book gets optioned (hopefully!) for a movie. We hope you enjoy this fun and freewheeling conversation, including a special appearance from Marisa’s bulldog, Joan.

The Red Carpet Look with Makeup Artist Kate Lee Sep 15, 2023

Celebrities should be grateful that makeup artist Kate Lee did not listen to the school counselor who told her to become an optician. Instead, she enrolled in aesthetician school, started doing editorial and backstage makeup, and then began working with Kate Winslet when the actress was just “a wee child.” Today, the CHANEL makeup artist works regularly with clients such as Keira Knightley, Charlize Theron, and Nicola Peltz Beckham. Listen in as she shares her story, her CHANEL must-haves, and the candle shops she’s obsessed with.

Best of FM: Philosopher Heather Widdows Sep 01, 2023

Lookism, or looks-based discrimination, doesn’t get society’s attention like sexism and racism, but philosopher Heather Widdows thinks it should. In one of our favorite interviews (originally aired in 2021, presented here with a new September 2023 intro), she explains the ethics of beauty and why beauty companies use moral language (“Be your best self!”) to sell products. This episode will make you rethink the way you talk about (and judge) other people's looks—and reconsider the way you respond when others comment on your appearance.

The Wild World of Public Relations with Miss PR Piggy Aug 18, 2023

Glamorous? Sometimes. Hilarious? Always. For the first time, Carrie Crecca Maitoza steps out from behind her buzzy meme account, @Miss_PR_Piggy, to talk about the PR world she satirizes. If you work in fashion or beauty (or want to know what goes on behind the scenes), this insider episode helps make sense of the notoriously hierarchical industry where every client wants a placement in the New York Times, every editor wants free clothes, and publicists hardly ever get credit for their efforts.

The Myth of Oxidizing Makeup with Chemist Balanda Atis Aug 16, 2023

Jenn’s off to climb a mountain (she’ll explain in the intro), but we still have a great interview for you: Chemist Balanda Atis, whose pioneering research helped make foundation more inclusive for all skin tones. Balanda is currently the assistant vice president of scientific communications for L’Oréal Paris, and in this interview (originally aired in 2019) she shares industry secrets, like why chemists use blue pigment to expand foundation shade ranges, the story behind her patent for fiber mascara, and the reason makeup looks different in the package than it does on your face (it’s NOT oxidation!).

Best of FM: Miranda Kerr Aug 11, 2023

We’ve got a new intro and some behind-the-scenes commentary for this classic interview with Miranda Kerr. The model, mom, and “magic girl” sits down to talk about self-love, smart business, and Kora Organics, the skincare line she founded in 2009—way before every other model and actress got into the beauty game. There will be crystals. There will be noni fruit. And we will be getting choked up as Miranda shares some wisdom on the grieving process that we needed to hear.

Best of FM: Emily Weiss of Glossier Aug 09, 2023

Before she stepped down as CEO, before she was a mom, and before she led Glossier through three more rounds of funding and a $1.2 billion valuation, Emily Weiss came to the Fat Mascara studio to talk about a gray logo sweatshirt and her plans for world domination. In this refreshing interview (originally recorded in 2017), she opens up in a way we haven’t seen in a long time, talking about her favorite mascara (perhaps the one that inspired Glossier Lash Slick, which launched in 2018?); the Arm & Hammer deodorant she buys in bulk; and what it was like to turn a scrappy blog into a beauty behemoth. We’re publishing this now, as a “Best of FM” interview, so you can listen before our upcoming interview with Marisa Meltzer, author of the forthcoming Glossier exposé, Glossy: Ambition, Beauty, and the Inside Story of Emily Weiss's Glossier.

The L.A. Face with Plastic Surgeon Dr. Jason Diamond Aug 04, 2023

When did plastic surgery get so trendy? Dr. Jason Diamond, who has been practicing in Beverly Hills for years, is here to discuss it all: the rise of the ethnically ambiguous face; doctors live-streaming their surgeries; the code names he gives his VIP patients; the procedures he won’t perform (hint: thread lifts); and why he’s a fan of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. Plus, we try to get him to spill how he developed a serum with bio-identical growth factors that mimics the effects of his famous Diamond InstaFacial and the work he does for celebrity patients like Chrissy Teigen, Kim and Kourtney Kardashian, Lala Kent, and Kate Upton.

Ep. 499: Lip Lifts, Real Housewives, Ageism & The Week’s Beauty News Aug 02, 2023

We get emotional at the end of the episode, thinking about how much our listeners mean to us! But first, how do we balance the contrasting pull of wanting to look youthful while fighting ageism? That theme kept coming up as we discussed RHONY; Dr. Jenn injecting filler; the Barbie scene with the elderly woman; Manchester United’s partnership with Estée Lauder; the TikTok aging filter; Prada hiring an e-makeup artist (@ines.alpha) for its new beauty line; the bullhorn lip lift; a new growth factor serum; and a magical nail polish brand that helps at-risk cats find new homes.

Youthful Skin *Without* Injections with Aesthetician Joanna Czech Jul 28, 2023

The original celebrity aesthetician has a prescription for better skin that doesn’t require Botox, filler, or lasers: Balance your pH; lean into muscle-stimulating and collagen-boosting therapies (microcurrent, LED); hydrate; and treat your hyperpigmentation. She explains how to do it—and which products to use—in this interview. Plus, she tells us why she helped create Kim Kardashian’s skincare line; shares the backstory of her own line, Joanna Czech Skincare; teaches us to apply products as if our skin were a sponge (“press and release!”); and explains how she went from aspiring doctor in Poland to one of New York City’s premier aestheticians.

Ep. 498: Passive Skincare, Perfume Stories & The Week’s Beauty News Jul 26, 2023

We tried a perfume that evokes a horseback ride through the fields and another that smells like the spice-laden cargo hold of a 17th-century galleon. Perfume storytelling has gotten so extra—and we are here for it! After that: Are water filters and other “passive skincare” devices worth the money? Plus, tanning beds make a comeback (!?); the secret ingredient in Beyoncé’s new perfume; a questionable makeup filter for Microsoft Teams; and our final roundup of the best self-tanners.

Best of FM: Cindy Crawford Jul 24, 2023

Before we ever interviewed Cindy Crawford, we talked about her on the pod. A lot. You’ve heard us go on about her Meaningful Beauty infomercials and how she made us believe a French melon patch was the secret to he beauty. Well, now she’s in the FM studio to tell us the truth about the melons, and more: how aging has made her a more self-conscious model; how she’s dealt with thinning hair; what it’s like to watch her daughter, Kaia Gerber, on the runways; and some of her favorite products. It’s all here, as a “Best of FM” selection, including a new intro where we share behind-the-scenes secrets.

Ep. 497: The *Other* Barbie, Compostable Lipstick & The Week’s Beauty News Jul 19, 2023

After some deep thoughts on the art-versus-commerce of interviewing celebrities who have skincare lines, we get into the good stuff: a lipstick with a compostable tube that turns into dirt and @wheelchairbarbie’s makeup collaboration. And also the scary stuff: Afghan beauty salons are closing; a plastic surgeon lost her license after live-streaming surgeries; Elon Musk’s “burnt hair” perfume is here. And, finally, the glowy stuff: how to self-tan your face without washing off the color; a radiant SPF 30 skin tint; and the secret to the sexy skin in Troye Sivan’s “Rush” music video.

The Return of Poppy King, Entrepreneur and “Lipstick Queen” Jul 14, 2023

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 values-driven success; “humble” brands she loves; why she stepped away from her line, Lipstick Queen; and what she’s doing next.

Let’s work through our feelings together:) Plus, Jess has a new game for Jenn that involves vintage shopping online. Canada bans testing cosmetics on animals and we explain where (and why) animal testing is still allowed. And we discuss the Glossier sorta-tell-all book, Alexander McQueen candles, Kering’s acquisition of the perfume label Creed, and a skin-tightening, snatch-inducing serum that’s “like a bra for your face” (but chicer).

Plus, Jenn read the book Skin Sobering and explains why she’s not buying its “you don’t need skincare” thesis, and we talk about the new brand Perfumehead; Ulta Beauty’s sustainability play; 3D bio-printed skin from Chanel; an overhyped candle that’s worth the hype; Jess’s new favorite concealer; and the $5 lip gloss you’ll want in every color.

We’ll explain and share our thoughts on the beauty world’s latest viral conversation. Plus: plaintiffs in a new lawsuit allege that Olaplex causes hair loss; hairstylist Jen Atkin has a new line of hair tools and accessories; Astier de Villatte created historically accurate perfumes with the help of an anthropologist; and Jenn is unsettled by cosmetic dermatology in the metaverse and Microsoft’s eerie Bing AI chatbot.

Jess & Jenn compare their experiences with laser facial treatments (Fraxel, IPL, Nd:Yag, etc). Then: What does “clean” beauty mean? A Sephora lawsuit could change the way brands and retailers talk about natural vs. synthetic ingredients and “no-no” lists. Plus: a Singapore-based hair-removal salon compares women to orangutans; there’s a perfume that smells like WD-40; scientists measure smile attractiveness after orthodontic treatment; and we raise wands to a juicy lipstick, a “Top 10” eye cream, and a new(ish) tubing mascara.

Now that the hubbub of Mikayla Nogueira’s branded-content mascara controversy has quieted, we’re taking a closer look at how influencer culture has changed (maybe not so much?) since our days at print magazines and discussing how government *tries* to regulate advertising. Plus: P&G found a way to make lotion pumps recyclable; the Anastasia of Beverly Hills 25th anniversary party was basically Davos; lipsticks just got even more phallic; Happy Dance had its last dance; and we Raise A Wand to a scalp serum, a scrubby body bar, and a drizzly olive oil.

Ep. 475: Ozempic Face, Couture Makeup & The Week’s Beauty News Feb 01, 2023

A few years ago, faces were looking full (from all the filler?); these days, the rich and famous look sculpted, “snatched,” and downright gaunt. It could be the popularity of Ozempic (a diabetes medicine that’s also prescribed for weight loss) and more people getting buccal-fat removal, but it’s also proof that cosmetic injectables follow trend cycles—just like makeup, hair, and clothes. Let’s discuss! Plus: party gossip from Jess’s Moda Operandi launch; the amazing front-row makeup looks (Doja Cat!) at Haute Couture Week in Paris; a helpful hair-mask tip; the rise of skincare machines; a listener’s super-hydrating shampoo; and two juicy lip balms we love.

Ep. 474: How Cosmetics Are Regulated, with Kelly Bonner Jan 27, 2023

As an advisor to numerous clients in the beauty industry, trial attorney Kelly Bonner plays a part in America’s complex system of cosmetics regulation—and she’s here to tell us about it. What does “natural” mean when it comes to hair care? Is topical collagen improving skin the way customers think it is? These are just some of the questions currently up for debate in the courts, as Kelly explains. Plus, she tells us how beauty brands test for safety and try to ensure their marketing doesn’t mislead customers; what you can do if you’re unhappy with a product’s performance; how the regulation of cosmetics differs around the world; and the reason the F.D.A. once used a traveling sideshow (called The American Chamber of Horrors!) to advocate for consumer-safety laws in the early 20th century.

Plus: The Fat Mascara Fam did their homework! We’re sharing a listener’s favorite product for moisturizing hair and scalp product, plus a shine spray Jess loves and an “orbital” balm Jenn has been using incorrectly, to great success.

Ep. 471: Tweakments, The FDA’s New Cosmetics Regulations & The Week’s Beauty News Jan 18, 2023

Noninvasive “tweakments” like DiamondGlow facials, Morpheus8, and the Moxi laser are gaining popularity with people who say they’re “high maintenance to be low maintenance.” Meaning: Can getting some cosmetic procedures now mean less makeup, less skincare, and less upkeep in the long run? Let’s discuss! After that: The FDA’s authority over cosmetics regulations is expanding, there’s a correlation between drinking sugary beverages and hair loss, and Jenn geeks out in the science corner. Plus, a listener raises a wand to Lucine, a shop that sources beautiful accessories from around the world, and we are officially obsessed.

Ep. 455: Trend Predictions, Allergens in Natural Skincare & The Week’s Beauty News Nov 23, 2022

We’re in a festive mood, Tom Ford is feeling f*cking fabulous, and Jess is taking us through a new beauty trend report that’s (unintentionally) laced with gallows humor. Anti-aging is out! The “me mentality” is in! We’ve all got “hyper fatigue,” and the Kardashians are alienating fans with their talk of dieting. There's also been an uptick in contact dermatitis recently, and experts say natural skincare may be causing some of those skin rashes. Plus, we raise our wands to small-business beauty buys, an iconic makeup applicator, and a Seville orange perfume oil that turned heads at Jess’s daycare drop-off.

Ep. 435: Makeup Artist Katie Jane Hughes Is Her Own Canvas Sep 09, 2022

There was a time when makeup artists wouldn’t think of showcasing their work on their own faces, but Katie Jane Hughes helped to change that.

How do you know when you’ve hit your mid-life? What age does that happen? And do you need to change up your style and your beauty routine when you get there? Journalist and podcaster Kim France, creator of Girls of A Certain Age and co-host of the Everything is Fine podcast (and the founding editor of Lucky magazine) is here to discuss it all with us. We talk about those in-between ages that our culture and mainstream advertising tends to ignore—and why that is. Plus, we discuss sexuality after menopause; why beauty brands have a hard time talking to people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s; gray hair; whether “anti-aging” is a negative term; and so much more.
