  • Kirbie drives me nuts

    I love Sara so much, but Kirbie comes across so celebrity-obsessed. Such a bootlicker and so high and mighty. Really making me question whether or not I listen to this podcast anymore

    Updating to add that Kirbie is a total mean girl in Instagram comments. Unfollowing for the trash behavior

  • Downhill?

    I’ve listened weekly for YEARS, typically skipping the interview eps. But the Tuesday pods seem to be getting shorter and more sponsored. I didn’t catch a disclosure (may have missed it) but a recent episode HAD to be an ad for Rhode…it was 15 minutes of talking up their new launches. I get wary anytime this starts happening because the unbiased journalism stops showing up and the pod loses my trust.

  • There’s no such thing as a “beauty journalist”………

    Calling yourself a journalist when you gossip about the least important things on earth, like lip gloss and makeup, is straight up embarrassing…….

  • Yyyeeeessss

    Sara and Kirbie- please never stop doing the damn thing. I 1000% agree that beauty and current events / politics are related. Also, it's YOUR SHOW BE WHO YOU ARE! You two helped me make it through the pandemic- you have been advocates for women and evidence based skin care and beauty information from day dot. I trust you and your content! Most of all, your conversations and work-wife hood uplift and inspire me. XO A stan for life, -Jennifer

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Gucci Westman on Makeup After 40, Nicole Kidman and the Foundation She Scrapped
Q: What is Gucci's philosophy on aging and makeup when working with high-profile clients?
Her approach centers on empowering the wearer by enhancing natural features and skin health, adapting techniques to fit each person's age and facial changes, and avoiding a one-size-fits-all look.
Cheryl Burke on DWTS Beauty Secrets, Aging in Public and Her Filipino Identity
Q: What was it like balancing critique and performance when you guest-judged, and how did you approach giving feedback?
She explains that her approach was to prepare in advance, study the remaining dances, and focus on constructive critiques that couples could actually apply in the studio, not just on the TV screen.
Cheryl Burke on DWTS Beauty Secrets, Aging in Public and Her Filipino Identity
Q: How did you figure out what beauty means to you after leaving the show?
Cheryl describes moving from the heavy, learned-on-TV beauty routines to embracing her natural skin and freckles, supported by a process of self-discovery and prioritizing comfort and authenticity over past expectations.
Tower 28 Founder Amy Liu on Copycats, the FaceGuard Fallout, and Its First Traditional Foundation
Q: What was the original mission of Tower 28 and how has it evolved with the new foundation?

Mario Dedivanovic Is Still Shaping How We Do Makeup
Q: What's your current mix of top five tools or products in your professional kit?
Hard to pick just five because there are many essentials, but the conversation highlighted core items like Master Mattes, Soft Sculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer, and a reliable lip product—the mix varies between work kit and personal kit.
