Ep. 351: What Does the Porn Industry Have to Do with Beauty?

November 5, 2021 Fat Mascara

Pornography has everything to do with sex, but it doesn’t necessarily reflect what people find attractive, says Cindy Gallop, ad executive, brand leader, entrepreneur, and founder of social sextech platform MakeLoveNotPorn. In this conversation, she talks to Jess about the false expectations the adult-film industry has set up in terms of body image; the homogeneous, often surgically altered, look of the actors in mainstream porn; how the beauty industry has flirted with the language of porn; the rise of genital plastic surgery; and so much more.

October 29, 2021 Fat Mascara

What we buy reveals a lot about who we are, says comedian-writer-director Kulap Vilaysack and journalist SuChin Pak, the hosts of the Add to Cart podcast. They talk to Jenn about double-cleansing, the environmental impact (and guilt) of consumerism, why SuChin still has makeup from her MTV days, and what Kulap uses to get skin like a “damp mochi ball.” Plus, Ku shares the reason she decided to grow out her gray hair and Su explains why she bought 18 types of sleeping pills on a recent trip to France.

We’ve got a makeup-artist-approved list of the best eyeliners that won’t smudge, smear, transfer, travel, change color, or make you look like a raccoon by lunchtime—along with tips for extending your liner longevity from makeup artist Sarah Uslan. Before that, lots of beauty news to chat about: Another benzene recall (and a reminder of what benzene is and why it keeps popping up in personal care products); combs made of neem wood and the new Augustinus Bader hair line; why Jay-Z is going to court for a perfume lawsuit; and, in the Science Corner, research on how our brains process stinky scents.

Fat Mascara Jessica Richards.png

Boutique owner Jessica Richards shares her strategy for discovering the new beauty products you won’t be able to live without. Some are “clean,” some are traditional, and many are sustainable, but they’re all must-haves, like the natural bug spray that actually works, the revolutionary hairbrush designed for post-chemo patients, and the women’s “pleasure serum” that she can’t keep in stock at her shop, Shen Beauty. Plus, Jessica discusses the retail trends shaping the beauty industry and offers excellent advice for small-business owners, entrepreneurs, and anyone thinking of starting their own wellness, sexual health, cosmetics, hair, or skincare line.
