We’re wrapping up 2021 with the nicest (and naughtiest) moments in the beauty world this year. Pour a glass of your favorite beverage and settle in for our annual tradition, where we cheer the movements, products, people, and brands we loved—and jeer the news, trends, and shenanigans we’d rather not see in 2022.
Below you’ll find a list of 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 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).
