You know Barbie Ferreira, but just in case: Barbie is a model, actress and current face of Becca Cosmetics. She made headlines with her Aerie campaign in 2016 and quickly became a face of the body positivity movement. Barbie made her TV debut as Kat in Euphoria, one of the coolest shows on TV, and will appear in her feature film debut, Unpregnant on HBO Max. This fiery Sagittarius gets real about the plus-size fashion industry, her true feelings about the body positivity movement, makes great points as to what brands are really saying when they aren’t inclusive in sizing or shade ranges, and talks about the makeup process on Euphoria.

Today’s guest is Lesley Thornton, an esthetician, formulator, and founder of the clean and sustainable skincare brand KLUR. But before Lesley launched her own brand, she spent years working in different roles in beauty, from selling True Colors eyeshadow pigments at the mall to working on set as a professional makeup artist. Lesley has learned a lot about how the industry works, what it takes to formulate a quality skincare product, and how to run a beauty brand. As a Black beauty business owner, she also has advice for consumers on how we can continue to support Black-owned beauty businesses for years to come. Check out our episode to hear what ingredient is most underrated (hint: it helps support the regeneration of vitamin C), why we should stop demonizing physical exfoliation and why “non-toxic” doesn’t mean “natural.”Support the The Underground MuseumWatch our episodes!Shop our episodesInstagram: @glossangelspod | TikTok: @glossangelespodEmail: glossangelespodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

Amanda Montell is a writer, linguist, and author of the critically acclaimed book Wordslut: A Feminist Guide to Taking Back the English Language, which has earned praise from readers and critics alike, including publications like The New York Times, Time Magazine, and Harper's Bazaar. Amanda is currently developing Wordslut for television with FX, while working on her second book, Cultish—about the language of cults from Scientology to SoulCycle—slated for publication in June 2021 (which she gave us a sneak peek on). Amanda's other writing has been featured in Marie Claire, Glamour, Cosmopolitan, Nylon, Byrdie, and Who What Wear, where she formerly served as the Features & Beauty Editor. We marked this episode as explicit because of the converation, which is respectful but may be considered explicit to some.On this episode, Amanda dives deep into the somewhat problematic language we use in the beauty industry, advice for how we can redefine the way we talk about ourselves and our bodies, and why it's actually really progressive of us to say like so freaking much. You can follow Amanda on Instagram @amanda_montell and pick up your copy of Wordslut here. Watch our episodes!Shop our episodesInstagram: @glossangelspod | TikTok: @glossangelespodEmail: glossangelespodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.
