Noble Panacea CEO and co-creator Céline Talabaza has seen it all in skincare. After years at some of beauty's most respected companies, she was skeptical when first asked to build a brand around a new technology, until she learned it came from Nobel Prize–winning chemist Sir Fraser Stoddart and saw the real innovation behind it. On this episode, she explains why delivery systems matter just as much as star ingredients, makes the case for single-dose packaging, and shares what it takes to be a luxury product right now.

On this Newsroom edition of Fat Mascara, we're joined by Julia Bellary and Sasa Li of GlowJob, the podcast about beauty and business hosted by two beauty enthusiasts from the worlds of tech and finance. We discuss how the "bleph" quickly became the most popular (and possibly most casualized) plastic surgery procedure in the world, and how girlboss culture has come back tenfold: "building in public" seems to be not an option but an order if you want to stay competitive. (See: Scarlett Johansson's recently shuttered, well-respected brand, The Outset.) We also dig into one retail insider's theory that "the luxury customer does not exist."

Katie shares how a single Instagram question sparked the idea for her brand, KJH.Brand, now in Sephora and, until recently, entirely self-funded. (“It's quite scary,” she says of taking on investment.) We also get into why education is at the heart of everything she makes, her pet peeve about the term “self-taught,” the A-list founder group chat that keeps her sane, what it's like building a business with her husband, Tarek, and what interests her beyond beauty.

A longevity doctor? In this economy? We've got her.
Dr. Amanda Kahn — affectionately known as "The Peptide Princess" — is a board-certified internist on the Upper East Side with a blocks-long waitlist. In this episode, Dr. Kahn explains what a longevity doctor actually does, what's happening in unregulated gray markets, and the troubling trends parents need to know about (and look out for). Plus: why low ferritin may be the reason you feel foggy, the supplement brand she trusts, and the simple longevity advice that costs very little at all.

Jessica gathers three A-list plastic surgeons — Dr. Sean Alemi, Dr. Babak Azizzadeh, and Dr. Darren Smith — for a rare joint conversation on the hottest topics in aesthetics. They break down how to actually find a great surgeon and the critical questions to ask along the way. The conversation also covers how GLP-1s are reshaping their practices, why professional aftercare is becoming more commonplace, why some patients get turned away, and the controversial neck procedure the plastic surgery community can't stop discussing. This, and so much more.

Erin Parsons is not a makeup artist anymore. On this episode of Fat Mascara, she explains why she quit the business at the very top, making the leap into full-time content creation in her 40s. Her niche: deep-diving into beauty history and finding a completely new audience, from 13-year-olds to makeup artists to "guys who don't care about makeup at all." ("I figured out the algorithm," she says.) Her most important contribution may just be The Makeup Archive (themakeuparchive.org), a nonprofit Parsons spent years building to research, preserve, and share beauty history.
