Hey, FM Fam! The beauty news is coming in fast and furious this week, and we’re covering it all on this Tuesday episode: Alicia Keys’s new (vegan!) line with e.l.f. Cosmetics, the Park Avenue plastic surgeon who’s getting catfished, problems with the “fox eye” trend, the Fenty Skin re-sell market, Glossier store closings, and more. Plus, Jenn is getting into the psychology of makeup in he science corner. There’s new research study that shows how applying makeup may actually improve your self-esteem—and how it could even be used as a form of art therapy in the future. Fascinating!
Below you’ll find links to some of the people, topics, and products mentioned in this episode.
