We get emotional at the end of the episode, thinking about how much our listeners mean to us! But first, how do we balance the contrasting pull of wanting to look youthful while fighting ageism? That theme kept coming up as we discussed RHONY; Dr. Jenn injecting filler; the Barbie scene with the elderly woman; Manchester United’s partnership with Estée Lauder; the TikTok aging filter; Prada hiring an e-makeup artist (@ines.alpha) for its new beauty line; the bullhorn lip lift; a new growth factor serum; and a magical nail polish brand that helps at-risk cats find new homes.Products mentioned in this episode: shopmy.us/collections/221414Episode recap with links: fatmascara.com/blog/ep-499Sponsor links & discount codes: fatmascara.com/sponsorsPrivate Facebook Group: Fat Mascara Raising a WandSocial media: @fatmascara, @jessicamatlin, @jenn_editSubmit a "Raise A Wand" product recommendation and be featured on the show: email info@fatmascara.com or leave a voicemail at 646-481-8182

What Skin Cancer Looks Like & The New Ways to Find and Treat It

Ep. 532: Discontinued Product Dupes & The Week’s Beauty News

Aesthetician Shani Darden stopped by the morning after the Met Gala to talk about all the celebrities she prepped for the red carpet—and chat with Jenn about fashion’s biggest night. After the celebrity gossip, Shani shares her suggestions for getting your skin in its best shape ever for a big event (wedding, reunion, vacation, etc.). She explains the benefits of vibration therapy, microcurrent devices, and gentle acid peels; how to deal with melasma; and what to do (and not do) in the days leading up to your event. Products mentioned in this episode: shopmy.us/collections/535424Episode recap with links: fatmascara.com/blog/shani-dardenSponsor 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.

How to Prep Your Skin for a Big Event with Shani Darden

Who remembers Intern Tiff? Tiffany Sukhnandan is no longer our intern (she’s a marketing manager in the beauty industry!), but she’s back to hang out with Jenn and talk about sun visors; what she’s learned being behind the scenes at a dermatologist skincare brand; how badly Youthforia missed the mark expanding its range of skin tints; Charlotte Tilbury’s new fragrances; and—in Science Corner—scary complications from an unlicensed facility doing “vampire facials,” aka platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments. Products mentioned in this episode: shopmy.us/collections/530410Episode recap with links: fatmascara.com/blog/ep-531Sponsor links & discount codes: fatmascara.com/sponsorsPrivate Facebook Group: Fat Mascara Raising a WandTikTok & Instagram: @fatmascara, @jenn_edit, @jessicamatlinSubmit a "Raise A Wand" product recommendation and be featured on the show: email info@fatmascara.com or leave a voicemail at 646-481-8182
