Here we are again—twice in one week! For our Thursday episode, we have a deep-dive interview with Drew Elliott, the new(ish) global creative director at MAC Cosmetics. Drew, formerly of Paper and America’s Next Top Model, has big ideas for the iconic brand. We ask him about how he plans to help make the company more diverse and inclusive, his thoughts on beauty collaborations, new product ideas, and how makeup and the beauty world influences pop culture (and vice versa). After the chat, we Raise a Wand.
Below you’ll find links to some of 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 email us voice memos of your beauty questions and Raise A Wand favorites so we can share them on the show. You can also leave us a voicemail to be featured on a future podcast (our phone number in the U.S. is at 646-481-8182).
