Ep. 147: Welcome to the Guns Show!

March 12, 2019 Fat Mascara

It’s out very first Transatlantic podcast! This week, we interviewed British podcaster Emma Gunavardhana—and she interviewed us on her podcast, The Emma Guns Show. If you can’t get enough of us, definitely listen to The Emma Guns Show x Fat Mascara episode as well. And, while you’re at it, subscribe to Emma’s podcast—it’s a good one.

Before we chat with Emma, we have a few topics to discuss. First up, we got our hands on the Glossier Play products and have some thoughts. Then, call Jess old fashioned…but she has some opinions on the news that Virgin Airlines will no longer require flight attendants to wear makeup. And, lastly, we discuss the “Italian Manicure” as spotted at the Mugler fall fashion show.

Below are links to the people, topics, and products mentioned in this episode. If you have any questions (or just want to say hi) reach out to us on Instagram, Twitter or via email (info@fatmascara.com).

Makeup artist Stephanie Flor, founder of Around The World Beauty, shares life lessons and beauty discoveries from Peru, Ecuador, India, Japan, Morocco, and other spots. She gives us the low down on the self-care rituals she swears by and the ones she isn’t so much a fan of. Plus, she spills backstage secrets from New York Fashion Week. Before that, we discuss the new "lo-fi facial" (get into it!) and the FDA’s latest proposed sunscreen guidelines (and the Environmental Working Group’s surprising response to them).

Ep. 143: When Are You More Than Just an Influencer?

February 8, 2019 Fat Mascara

Screen Shot 2019-02-05 at 12.39.45 PM.png

This week, beauty influencer Arshia Moorjani pulls back the curtain on what it's like to be a full-time content creator. We talk about self-confidence and the true meaning of diversity in beauty. Plus, she shares her makeup tips and tricks. Before that: We discuss a scary new semi-permanent makeup trend (beware of semi-permanent concealer, foundation, and BB cream!); talk about SEEN, a dermatologist-designed hair care line; and share news of the amazing bath and body line The Right To Shower, which is donating all of its first-year profits to charities that help bring showers to people living on the streets. If you want to get involved the cause, check out some of these organizations: Project Outpour, Streetside Showers, Organization of Hope, and Brooklyn Community Services.

Ep. 142: Ask the Pharmacist

February 1, 2019 Fat Mascara

Your favorite (we hope!) dynamic duo is back together for a full and regularly scheduled episode. This week, we asked pharmacist Ian Ginsberg, the president of C.O. Bigelow, to share some of the top questions his customers ask and give us the answers. The discussion veers into very interesting territory (“Do bees have faces?” “Why do you want a kidney-colored lipstick?”) and there’s real talk about confusing topics such as parabens, sulfates, probiotics, and how to pass a drug test. Before the interview, we discuss Olaplex, French Girl "nothingness" and Jess’s experience at the David Mallet salon, and Jenn's sassy AF grandma.
