Luke Henderson, celebrity makeup artist and hairstylist, spills on what it's like to work with major reality stars (and huge divas) on the Real Housewives of New York and Ladies of London, the on-demand beauty apps changing the industry, his top beauty recommendations, and his feelings on negative Instagram comments. Also in this episode, Jenn's engagement news (plus, tips on how to take a ring selfie); California's newest state bill on animal testing; and the funky new blow drying trend everyone is getting but no one really asked for....?

Ep. 119: You Only Have One Face

Beauty royalty is on the pod this week! Aerin Lauder, founder of beauty and lifestyle brand Aerin, joins us to share some incredibly sweet stories of her grandmother, Estée Lauder, and tell us how she got her start in the beauty business and created her own brand. Before that, we revisit the "drop test," mentioned on episode 118 with Linda Wells, and clarify what it means. Then, we discuss CosmoProf, influencers throwing shade, collagen supplements, and whether waitlists for upcoming products are actually real.

Beauty legend Linda Wells, current chief creative officer at Revlon and founding editor of Allure, is on the pod this week— right after the launch of her new brand, Flesh. We discuss why the world needed another beauty line, how not all brands under one company offer the same formulas, the biggest challenges faced while creating products, and her infamous banned-word list. Also in this episode: a new segment called "shop like a normal person" and sunburn remedies.

Before that, we discuss our first ever listener party, the trendy men's hairstyle taking over all the reality TV shows, and the questionable decision to put Kylie Jenner at the top of the Forbes list of the richest self-made women in America.

Ep 116: Welcome to California

Meet our new friend, Bacon! Well, that's what we're calling her. Amanda Chantal Bacon is the founder of Moon Juice, and we brought her on the pod because she just launched a skincare line. After we have a lovely chat, Jess talks about why it's so important to be good to your body, even when it's doing annoying things, like gaining 10 pounds on you out of nowhere. And then Jenn shares a little science lesson about heparan sulfate analog, the key ingredient in Senté, a new line she's been loving.

Before that, we discuss Billie's shaving ad, the importance of cleansing, and our air-dry techniques (because it's too damn hot for blowdryers).

Ep. 114: Will There Be Tinctures?

Don't you just love when natural-beauty experts share their knowledge, but don't get all preachy about it? We do! That's why we were psyched to have Naturopathica founder Barbara Close on to talk about herbs, her holistic approach to complexion care, skin's inflammatory response to petrochemicals, and to share solid, practical advice that just makes sense. We also discuss Jenn's Sugarlash Lash Lift (click here to find someone who offers it near you); our thoughts on button-pushing beauty (and fashion) looks that aren't "pretty," in the traditional sense of the word; Flesh, Linda Wells's new line of cosmetics at Ulta; and Hwahae, a Korean app that decodes ingredient labels—and needs to be translated to English ASAP. (Calling all developers: get on this!)

We also want to remind you about our exclusive listener party at the Nexxus Salon in New York City, on July 18. If you want to be entered to score an invitation, fill out the form below:

Ep. 113: Pink Bubble Theory

Breathe deeply, let the color shower over you, and get ready to feel soooo chill... Our guest this week is Cristina Bornstein, an energy healer, reiki master, and co-founder of the cult-favorite 90s indie beauty brand Tony & Tina. The brand is back in a 2.0 version (check it out here!), focusing on oils, facial steams, and skin and bath products that complement Tina's energy-healing practice. (You can also buy it at Credo and at Warm New York, in New York City.) 

Before we chat with Tina, we talk about Il Makiage and the maximalist-versus-minimalist beauty aesthetic and, more importantly, we invite you to enter to win an invitation to a private party with us! The party will be Wednesday, July 18, at the Nexxus Salon in New York City, and your invitation includes a blowout or dry-styling, snacks and sips, hang time with us, and free products!

Adir Abergel is here to teach us how to wear hair accessories without looking like fourth graders—and to share where he finds inspiration for all those gorgeous red carpet hairstyles he creates. Before that, we talk about Sephoria, a new kind of beauty event, happening in Los Angeles October 21 - 22, 2018. And we also chat about the new Crayola makeup line and a hack for making your hair look thicker (hint: use a crimper, but only at the roots).
