Fat Mascara

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. shopmy.us/collections/225458fatmascara.com/best-of-fat-mascarafatmascara.com/sponsorsFat Mascara Raising a Wand@fatmascara@jessicamatlin@jenn_editinfo@fatmascara.com646-481-8182 Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/fatmascara.

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. shopmy.us/collections/173924fatmascara.com/best-of-fat-mascarafatmascara.com/sponsorsFat Mascara Raising a Wand@fatmascara@jessicamatlin@jenn_editinfo@fatmascara.com646-481-8182 Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/fatmascara.

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.shopmy.us/collections/222527fatmascara.com/blog/dr-diamondfatmascara.com/sponsorsFat Mascara Raising a Wand@fatmascara@jessicamatlin@jenn_editinfo@fatmascara.com646-481-8182 Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/fatmascara.

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. shopmy.us/collections/221414fatmascara.com/blog/ep-499fatmascara.com/sponsorsFat Mascara Raising a Wand@fatmascara@jessicamatlin@jenn_editinfo@fatmascara.com646-481-8182 Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/fatmascara.

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. shopmy.us/collections/218262fatmascara.com/blog/ep-498fatmascara.com/sponsorsFat Mascara Raising a Wand@fatmascara@jessicamatlin@jenn_editinfo@fatmascara.com646-481-8182 Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/fatmascara.

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. shopmy.us/collections/216624fatmascara.com/blogfatmascara.com/sponsorsFat Mascara Raising a Wand@fatmascara@jessicamatlin@jenn_editinfo@fatmascara.com646-481-8182 Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/fatmascara.

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. shopmy.us/collections/180963fatmascara.com/best-of-fat-mascarafatmascara.com/sponsorsFat Mascara Raising a Wand@fatmascara@jessicamatlin@jenn_editinfo@fatmascara.com646-481-8182 Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/fatmascara.

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. shopmy.us/collections/211961fatmascara.com/blogfatmascara.com/sponsorsFat Mascara Raising a Wand@fatmascara@jessicamatlin@jenn_editinfo@fatmascara.com646-481-8182 Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/fatmascara.

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.shopmy.us/collections/208905fatmascara.com/blogfatmascara.com/sponsorsFat Mascara Raising a Wand@fatmascara@jessicamatlin@jenn_editinfo@fatmascara.com646-481-8182 Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/fatmascara.

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). shopmy.us/collections/202545fatmascara.com/blogfatmascara.com/sponsorsFat Mascara Raising a Wand@fatmascara@jessicamatlin@jenn_editinfo@fatmascara.com646-481-8182 Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/fatmascara.

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.

Boo Boo the brown bear is obsessed with Taylor Swift’s Incredible Things perfume, and we are obsessed with him.
