Now THIS was a model with could hang with! On Fat Mascara, she gets real about modeling, diversity, beauty, and trying to bring social accountability to fashion. And products, of course.

Before that, we swap spa stories (Jenn's Floating Lotus experience is pretty trippy). Then, a moment for Prince and Bowie: They had the balls to wear makeup but were still the hottest guys in the room. Then, we answer our first listener question—we love the engagement, guys. This one is about concealer—just in time for allergy season.
