Phillip Picardi, digital editorial director of Teen Vogue and Allure (and a former beauty editor!)

You guys ready to go deeeep? We were on this episode. Jess shared the story of her (two!) breast reductions, and the segment is a must-listen for anyone considering plastic surgery or just looking for some recognition that, yes, it totally sucks when you're living in a body that you're not happy with. We also chat about how awkward it is to tip at the hair salon, and then Jess reports the story of a fascinating character in the beauty world: Dr. Bronner. (Jury's still out on whether or not he's an actual doctor, but we learn some other deep, dark facts.) If you want to learn more about the brand, have a listen to Episode 469 of the WTF with Marc Maron podcast, where Marc interviews David Bronner. And, of course, there's the big interview! This week, we talk to Phillip Picardi (@pfpicardi). The former beauty editor shares how he discovered and fell in love with makeup and how he's using his role as the digital editorial director of Teen Vogue and Allure to change the beauty conversation so it's more inclusive and inspirational. (Ummm, sound familiar??? That's what we're trying to do, too!!!) Here are the products we mentioned on the pod:

Dr. Bronner's Castille Soap (we're into the lavender scent)
Real Techniques eyeshadow brushes
Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer
RMS Living Luminizer
RMS Magic Luminizer
Kevyn Aucoin The Celestial Powder in Candlelight
Kevyn Aucoin Sculpting Powder

After this week's podcast, we're contemplating quitting our jobs to open a place selling milkshakes and makeup or to open a Sonic Drive-In for Botox—both of which are ideas that have milkshakes in common (hmmmmm).

Before that, we discuss Alchemy 43, a Los Angeles medi-spa.

Claire Vuillemot

What's the deal with microblading?! Yeah, we wanted to know, too. So we brought NYC tattoo artist and microblading expert Claire Vuillemot into the Fat Mascara studio to explain everything. You must check out the amazing before and after photos on her site: clairevuillemot.com. Before we chatted with Claire, we had some other good stuff to talk about: First up, the Oscars! We were happy to play beauty critics—and not to be accountants handing out envelopes. Our favorite looks included Ruth Negga and Emma Roberts, and of course we also discussed Halle Berry's hair. Then, Jess shared her experience at Sphatika, where she had an infrared journey. And, finally, we talked eye gloss, a trend that is so 🔥right now—but also totes awkward to wear. Here are the products we mentioned:
