Eyewitness Beauty

Annie and Nick keep it Top Stories-only this week, covering all the topics we missed over the holidays, from Korean skincare brand Purito's SPF scandal to COVID party-shaming (or is it accountability?) to the FTC's rejection of Billie razors' Proctor & Gamble acquisition to the results of Sephora's "Racial Bias in Retail" study.

AKA the best holiday gift guide ever. Annie and Nick take 50+ reader-submitted questions about the hard-to-please people in their lives. Toughies such as: what to buy your father and his new family? Your snobby step-mother? Your hypebeast brother who buys everything he wants himself? Your boss who always says you remind her of herself when she was your age....

(Shoutout to Brie Hawkins (https://briannahawkins.com/) for the killer design and execution.)

Annie and Nick dive into the week's top stories, including Sephora's new 10-year partnership with Kohl's, JLo's skincare line, a rebrand the world didn't ask for, and more. Plus, Nick explains the intricacies of baby diaper changing and Annie reveals her go-to skin-evening concealer palette.

Annie and Nick talk with actor, writer, podcaster, and overall ray of light Clark Moore (Love Simon, My Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Soul Balm podcast) about black and queer representation in movies and TV,  his own path from Dartmouth College to Hollywood, and the pretty simple skin and hair routine he's honed over the years. Plus, Annie and Nick call the celebrity 'creative director' trend  beauty (Emrata, Dakota Johnson, Jennifer Aniston all have new titles!), try to understand Revlon's ongoing issues, and find the absolute best eyebrow tweezers (that are actually sold at your local Joann's Fabric).

Annie and Nick are together (in the same room) and taking all of your wonderful and sometimes random questions, in a very special episode of Eyewitness Beauty.

Annie and Nick catch up with friend and Moon Juice founder Amanda Chantal Bacon about discovering skincare in her 30s (P50 was her gateway drug) and the future of the wellness industry. Plus, top stories and products of the week!

Annie and Nick talk with Frank Voelkl, the nose behind some of today's most ICONIC fragrances (Santal 33, Paris Hilton's Dazzle, Glossier You) about his formula for success, what your scent preferences say about you, and the fragrance-in-skincare debate. Plus! It's a slow news week in the beauty industry but that doesn't stop Annie and Nick from breaking down the stories of the week and just generally having a chill time.

Annie and Nick talk with the one and only Ben Gorham, professional basketball player turned perfumer and founder of Byredo, the cult fragrance brand that now makes candles, handbags, leather accessories, sunglasses, and as of this month, color cosmetics. They talk about the challenge of selling smells on the internet, maintaining brand relevance, and making makeup with Isamaya Ffrench. Plus, Nick worries about BLACKPINK and Annie has a new addiction...

Annie and Nick talk with community psychiatrist Dr. Jessica Isom, MD, MPH about the ways in which the COVID-19 crisis and anti-Blackness are manifesting as trauma in the Black community--and the beauty industry's role. Plus, Annie and Nick discuss Ben Gorham x Ikea, cute hiking outfits, Amazon's 11-hour shoppable livestream (which we couldn't find?), and good ol' fashion Crest 3D Whitestrips.
