    The Untold History of Hairdressing with Elizabeth L. Block

    Art historian Elizabeth L. Block shares fascinating stories about hair culture in 19th-century America that she uncovered while researching her new book, Beyond Vanity: The History and Power of Hairdressing. We’re talking about Victorian hair dishes; what shows like Bridgerton and The Gilded Age get right (and wrong) about beauty; the ingredients in early hair products; and what salons in the 1800s really looked like. Plus, you’ll hear the story of hairdresser and abolitionist Christiana Carteaux Bannister, an American beauty entrepreneur whose story is often overlooked in the history books.

    Jenn & Julee bring you gossip (and some standout beauty looks) from New York Fashion Week. We’re also talking about a less-expensive alternative to epidermal growth factor serums; a dreamy body glaze (different than an oil!); why every fragrance launch is a “collection”; the best and worst celebrity beauty lines; formaldehyde (still!?) in hair straighteners; and a petty, yet supremely fabulous way to get revenge on a cheating ex-partner: launching a perfume and calling it Divorce.  Episode recap with links: fatmascara.com/blog/ep-548Products mentioned in this episode: shopmy.us/collections/817481Sponsor links & discount codes: fatmascara.com/sponsorsPrivate Facebook Group: Fat Mascara Raising a WandTikTok & Instagram: @fatmascara, @jenn_edit, @jessicamatlinSubmit a "Raise A Wand" product recommendation: email info@fatmascara.com or text us or leave a voicemail at 646-481-8182 Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/fatmascara.

  5. Francisco Costa's Next Chapter

    Francisco Costa's Next Chapter

    Francisco Costa looks at beauty through a different lens. One of the biggest forces in fashion, the former women's creative director of Calvin Klein Collection speaks to Jess about his evolution from designer to beauty founder, with the launch of Costa Brazil, and shares his creative process around product development. He also gets candid about the realities of acquisition: The brand was acquired by biotech firm Amyris in 2021, but it shut down the brand in 2023. Now that Costa bought back the brand—and is back in charge—he's ready to share some hard-won wisdom.  Episode recap with links: fatmascara.com/blog/francisco-costaProducts mentioned in this episode: shopmy.us/collections/784944Sponsor links & discount codes: fatmascara.com/sponsorsPrivate Facebook Group: Fat Mascara Raising a WandTikTok & Instagram: @fatmascara, @jenn_edit, @jessicamatlinSubmit a "Raise A Wand" product recommendation: email info@fatmascara.com or text us or leave a voicemail at 646-481-8182 Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/fatmascara.

    Let’s dig into some fall beauty trends, like bow nails, soft baddie and Igari makeup, “fox” hair color—and whether or not Jess should get bangs. Plus: lookism in the news, the couple who pioneered cosmetic Botox, bridal beauty, rediscovering Pillow Talk, and a lip gloss that tastes like Haribo peach gummies. And, in a special segment brought to you by Acast Creative and our sponsor Shiseido Ginza Tokyo, we talk about all the ways eyes change as you age (Jenn’s eyes are getting “cozier,” Jess says her under-eyes are more “chiseled”) and what you can do about it.
