Jenn welcomes multi-hyphenate beauty guru Pamela Edwards Christiani, a journalist (formerly Essence & People), astrologer, and aspiring voice actor, as her guest co-host while Jess has the week off.

The Art of Natural Perfumery with Mandy Aftel

Fri, 03 Nov 2023 19:00:43 GMT

“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. She tells us about the time she taught Apple’s Jony Ive natural perfumery; how she scented Leonard Cohen’s funeral; why oud is misunderstood; the controversial story of ambergris; the backstory of a rare gardenia extract from Tahiti; and so much more. We’re calling it now: This is a Fat Mascara classic. Enjoy!

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.

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? What’s the difference between a drive-by “laser facial” and the treatment you’ll get in a doctor’s office? What’s the best laser for your money? How do you find a laser expert you trust?

The Glossy Book Club with Marisa Meltzer

Fri, 06 Oct 2023 21:00:22 GMT

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.

Thu, 05 Oct 2023 15:15:13 GMT

Love is not blind, according to a contestant on the new season of Love is Blind who had an issue with his (now ex-) fiancée’s makeup. His comments got us thinking about research that shows how makeup affects a person’s trustworthiness.

Ep. 503: Lip Gloss Applicators, '90s Fragrances & The Week’s Beauty News

Wed, 27 Sep 2023 20:42:35 GMT

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).

The Red Carpet Look with Makeup Artist Kate Lee

Fri, 15 Sep 2023 19:25:37 GMT

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

Fri, 01 Sep 2023 19:00:58 GMT

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

Fri, 18 Aug 2023 19:00:27 GMT

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

Wed, 16 Aug 2023 19:00:14 GMT

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

Fri, 11 Aug 2023 19:00:45 GMT

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

Wed, 09 Aug 2023 19:00:56 GMT

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

Fri, 04 Aug 2023 19:00:00 GMT

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

Wed, 02 Aug 2023 19:00:00 GMT

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

Fri, 28 Jul 2023 19:00:00 GMT

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

Wed, 26 Jul 2023 19:00:00 GMT

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.

Mon, 24 Jul 2023 19:00:51 GMT

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.

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

Wed, 19 Jul 2023 19:00:00 GMT

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”

Fri, 14 Jul 2023 19:00:00 GMT

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.

Ep. 495: Celebrity Plastic Surgery, Animal Testing & The Week’s Beauty News

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).

Why do some actors look out of place in period films and TV series?

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. Then, let’s Raise a Wand to Pedestrian Project’s ($12!) foot cream, a Creamsicle-flavored lip balm, and a luxurious, oil-infused body-care line from British Columbia.

Wed, 15 Feb 2023 20:00:00 GMT

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.

Wed, 08 Feb 2023 20:00:00 GMT

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

Wed, 01 Feb 2023 20:00:00 GMT

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

Fri, 27 Jan 2023 20:51:52 GMT

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!

Wed, 18 Jan 2023 20:00:50 GMT

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

Wed, 23 Nov 2022 20:00:37 GMT

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.

Writer, actress, and (super)model Paulina Porizkova—whose memoir, No Filter, came out this week—has a lot to say about our society’s fixation on youth and its fear of nudity.
