Hey, Fat Mascara Family! We hope you and your family and friends are holding up okay, and that everyone’s trying to stay healthy, safe (and sane) during these unprecedented times. As we mentioned on our bonus episode, published March 21, we plan to keep the podcast going on its regular schedule, and we will be recording the top of the shows remotely (the interviews you’ll be hearing over the next few weeks were previously recorded). There’s a bit of a lag when we record via video, and our amazing production team at At Will Media is doing their best to edit these creatively, but if things ever sound stilted or weird, that’s why. That said, here’s what’s going on this week:
Plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Lara Devgan (@laradevganmd) answers your questions about tummy tucks, liposuction, firm jawlines, crepey necks, breast implants, and more. She also explains how to find a surgeon, cosmetic dermatologist, or nurse injector you trust. Before that, Jenn & Jess discuss who we actually wear makeup for, how the diet industrial complex has affected us, and our favorite movies, TV shows, and books for beauty inspiration.
Below, you’ll find links to the people, topics, and products mentioned in this episode. If you have any questions (or just want to say hi) reach out to us on Instagram, Twitter or via email (info@fatmascara.com). And please send us voice memos or recordings of your beauty questions and #RaiseAWand favorites so we can share them on the show!
