Fat Mascara Jennifer Sullivan & Jessica Matlin

When content creator Liah Yoo started a skincare brand, her goal was to fix problems she saw with the Beauty Industrial Complex™ and its traditional business models. She’s here to explain how she’s doing that with Krave Beauty. We talk about how SPF testing works, ethical ingredient sourcing, the pressure retailers and investors put on brand founders, sustainability issues, and coping with negative social-media comments—plus the joys of Selling Sunset, Sun Chips, and laser hair removal!

Tis the season of beauty advent calendars, and we found out which ones give you the most value for your money. We’re also talking about the #looksmaxxing community, its sketchy roots, and its interest in skincare and mewing. Plus: Javier Milei’s wolverine hair; gendered grooming rules in elementary schools (we’re looking at you, Girard, Kansas); health concerns associated with scented candles; and the book Eyeliner: A Cultural History. Plus, we raise wands to lip balms, a candle that smells like hot cocoa, and a holiday-party mascara.
