Customer Reviews
Love
Such a good podcast!
Listened since day one...I’m tired
Interviews: I’ve learned a lot from the interviews, and I appreciate them branching out beyond derms, surgeons, estheticians, makeup artists, etc. to find folks like the sleep doctor and the master perfumer. However, they frequently talk over the guests, cut them off (this may be poor editing), and make me cringe with their overly pointed questions. Also, it’s no surprise they waited until the rise of BLM to feature folks working toward beauty equity. We see you.
Beauty news/banter: if you’re going to do beauty news, I would love to hear more about ethics, beauty workers’ rights/struggles, and consumerism. Talking about company acquisitions means little to the average listener. Super into Jen’s Science Corner for info I wouldn’t necessarily find on my own and I can apply to my daily life.
Raise a Wand: y’all...I’d be curious to know how many of your listeners can afford a $60 candle or even a $35 lipstick. It’s framed as a luxury/treat-yo-self, and there’s frequently disclaimers “we know it’s expensive, but...” Including disclaimers doesn’t change the fact that the average person can’t afford it, period. You’re normalizing luxury beauty.
Tone: I’ll echo other reviews...I know this is an escape for folks, but sometimes the tone is...tone deaf? The white upper middle class New York perspective is already over represented by our media. I appreciate the new featuring of listeners for fresh perspectives, but I’m tired of hearing about your chef made baby food or perspectives of “I just don’t like it.”
My self-care
I’ve been listening to this podcast for well over a year, and it has been my go-to in the rare moments of mom-life where I get to be alone and indulge. I adore listening to the hosts — they’re smart, engaging, personal and insightful, and the topics always seem to surprise me as they’re topics that I’ve thought about but haven’t seen talked about. As a brown woman, it sure is nice to be seen. These discussions of beauty, and the ways to reach your goals, I think is so essential and I think Fat Mascara does it so well.
