Let’s dig into some fall beauty trends, like bow nails, soft baddie and Igari makeup, “fox” hair color—and whether or not Jess should get bangs. Plus: lookism in the news, the couple who pioneered cosmetic Botox, bridal beauty, rediscovering Pillow Talk, and a lip gloss that tastes like Haribo peach gummies. And, in a special segment brought to you by Acast Creative and our sponsor Shiseido Ginza Tokyo, we talk about all the ways eyes change as you age (Jenn’s eyes are getting “cozier,” Jess says her under-eyes are more “chiseled”) and what you can do about it.

Futurist, tech CEO, and makeup artist Alex Box, DDes, is working to make sure that as technology continues to evolve, our humanity and creativity isn’t lost. If you feel like social media, AI, and the metaverse are negatively affecting beauty standards, our self-esteem, and artist creativity, Alex offers an alternative: What if we all work together to change the systems? In this interview, she discusses “digital dignity,” how virtual spaces can inspire real-world connections, how to avoid echo chambers, and V-Metics, a virtual cosmetics software company she founded to help makeup artists transition their skills into the metaverse—and get proper credit for the work they do.

Ami Colé founder & CEO Diarrha N'Diaye-Mbaye went from social media manager (Temptu, L’Oréal) to product developer (Glossier) to starting a beauty brand for melanin-rich skin—and she’s refreshingly honest about what it took to get where she is. We discuss how her personal story is part of (but not the same thing as!) her brand; what it’s like to work with investors; the challenges BIPOC-owned beauty brands are facing; and how much fun it is for her to create gorgeous products that people love.

Tiffany Sukhnandan is no longer our intern (she’s a marketing manager in the beauty industry!), but she’s back to hang out with Jenn and talk about sun visors; what she’s learned being behind the scenes at a dermatologist skincare brand; how badly Youthforia missed the mark expanding its range of skin tints; Charlotte Tilbury’s new fragrances; and—in Science Corner—scary complications from an unlicensed facility doing “vampire facials,” aka platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments.

What makes a skincare ingredient “active”? How do you decode a cosmetic ingredient list? How are researchers using artificial intelligence (AI) to improve our complexions? Which beauty ingredients are completely pointless? In this interview (our second most popular episode of 2023) Victoria Fu, the co-founder of Chemist Confessions, is here to answer all those questions and more. Plus, she tells us about an AI-discovered molecule that improves skin elasticity and explains how the digital era has made it harder to separate fact from fiction in the beauty world. We’ll be back with all new episodes next week!

Before that, we chat about Guido Palau’s new hair line for Zara; Jennifer Lawrence and Kylie Jenner discussing how makeup can make it seem like you had plastic surgery; Gen-X and Boomer (and Gen Alpha!) influencers; a collection of fantastically unhinged Fragrantica reviews; the powder palette that makes everyone’s skin look better; and cringey TV.

She tells us about her creative process and explains how she brings elects of fantasy and enchantment to human faces in video post-production and augmented reality.

“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 founder of the Aftel Archive of Curious Scents, in Berkley, California, is here to celebrate the release of her latest book, The Museum of Scent, by sharing a few of her stories.

What’s the difference between lasers and LED (light emitting diodes), IPL (intense pulsed light), RF (radiofrequency), and all the other professional therapies and devices out there? In this interview (previously aired), dermatologist Robert Anolik, MD, explains it all: Which lasers (Q-Switched, Vbeam, Excel V, Fraxel, Clear + Brilliant) help with which skin concerns?

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.

Do you like a doe foot, paddle (beaver tail?), or slant-tip as your lip gloss applicator? Let’s discuss. But first: Hourglass Cosmetics’s work with the Nonhuman Rights Project; the booming resale market for ’90s perfume; Rhode’s Juicy Tube-like launch strategy; the H&M X Raoúl Alejandre makeup collaboration; a very surprising workout hack involving Hermès lipstick; a watermelon shower gel fit for “the little king”; and some 2010s-era nonsense like planking and icing (aka, the Smirnoff Ice drinking game that Jenn incorrectly remembers as a Zima or Four Loko game).

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.

Casey Lewis, author of After School, a Substack newsletter about youth culture and Gen Z trends, has made a career of talking to (and about) teens and young adults. She’s here to explain why those ridiculously named beauty trends (pumpkin-spice makeup anyone?) go viral and the larger cultural implications of micro-trends; which brands and products everyone wants this back-to-school season; the speed of today’s trend cycle; how teen media has evolved in the past 20 years; the draw of nostalgia—and the beauty products she’s personally obsessed with.

Before we get into the news, we share a few highlights from the past 499 episodes, including proud moments, embarrassing stories, and all-time favorite products. Then, let’s talk about skincare for astronauts, Marc Jacobs Beauty, New York Fashion Week, Paco Rabanne’s makeup line, and the backstory of Chanel’s Lucky Chance diner. After that, it’s time to welcome a very special guest (hint: Buckle Up!) to celebrate our milestone episode. Plus, we’ll Raise A Wand and give you some important homework: Tell us about the perfumes you wear when you want to feel more attractive—to others, to yourself, to the universe…whatever that means to you!

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.

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.

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!).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Why are the videos where Lorry Hill analyzes plastic surgery so compelling? Does it even matter if she’s right about what celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence do to their faces? 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).

In the second installment of Best of FM, we have Drunk Elephant founder Tiffany Masterson. Just a few months before her company was acquired by Shiseido (for $845 million!), she sat down to share how she built her brand. We talk about marula oil; how she handles social media scandals; the ever-changing definition of clean beauty; the ingredients that are most likely to cause skin sensitivity; and more. FYI: “Best of FM” selections feature Jenn & Jess’s favorite interviews with fresh introductions where they share behind-the-scenes secrets. They're perfect for new listeners who may not be sure which episodes to listen to first—and for members of the Fam who may have missed early classics.

Boo Boo the brown bear is obsessed with Taylor Swift’s Incredible Things perfume, and we are obsessed with him. But first, Jess hangs with a brow artist who has some issues with brow lamination, and we talk about golden-hour makeup, underwear made of seaweed, and the surprising reason female dermatological surgeons may not get the same training their male counterparts do. All that, plus carry-on beauty essentials, a divinely scented salt spray, and some new homework…What bronzey things are you using to fake a golden-hour glow?

Good looks pay: On average, attractive CEOs make $1 million more than their average-looking counterparts, according to new research and a compelling article in the Wall Street Journal. Let’s discuss! Then, Jess puts her art history degree to work, uncovering (information on) a 2,000-year-old perfume buried in a Roman mausoleum in Spain. Plus: behind the scenes at the Fragrance Foundation Awards; an evening with Tia Mowry; Charlotte Tilbury’s A.I.-powered app and Bella Hadid campaign; Jess’s cat, Furrina, gets a glow up; and we Raise Wands to an ultra-hydrating tinted lip balm, shimmery gel-cream-powder eye shadows, and our listener's favorite summer serums.

Psychologist, hair stylist, hair historian, and clinical therapist Afiya Mbilishaka, PhD, is here to talk about why hair (and caring for it) can be an entry point to mental-health services. She explains why hair is sacred in many cultures around the world, especially in some of the African cultures she’s studied. Plus: why hair loss can be so devastating; the importance of hair stylists in Black communities; how to have a better relationship with your stylist—and what’s really going on when someone gets breakup bangs. She also tells us about plans to expand her work thanks to a grant from Maui Moisture.

Why do some actors look out of place in period films and TV series? Dazed Beauty writer Kleigh Balugo calls it “smartphone face”—that thing where people look too modern to have lived before the 21st century. Is it cosmetic injectables, too-perfect brows, orthodontics, better nutrition, or maybe all the above? And what about people whose faces seem old-timey? What gives them that classic look? Let’s discuss! Then, we’re talking about how weight-loss drugs affect your hair; Oprah’s skincare investment; beauty tourism in Turkey (Türkiye); and health concerns related to hair relaxers. Plus, another body scrub that’s a bargain (aka, a “tight price point”), a multitasking tinted pencil for ages 19 to 99, and a makeup bag that doesn’t get gross.
