Fat Mascara

There’s a new makeup line for men, but do cosmetics still need to be gendered? We discuss and then answer a listener question about how we create the podcast each week. Plus, lots of beauty news to talk about: The “Keurig of skincare” is coming this fall; Gucci Bloom launched a new campaign; perfumers re-created a 150-year-old fragrance discovered in a shipwreck; and researchers have figured out what goosebumps are good for. We also Raise A Wand to our current obsessions—and listen to a few of your favorites, too! -- Want more Fat Mascara?
