Ep. 580: Bye for Now

This classic from the FM archives is our most popular interview ever. In it, skincare expert Caroline Hirons explains the right order to apply products and tells us how she really feels about “clean” beauty, INCI lists, the Environmental Working Group (EWG), the beauty-industry patriarchy, myths about pores, acid solutions, hyaluronic acid, and more. The interview originally aired in 2020. We’ll be back next week with a new and very special episode!<ul><li> Episode recap: <a href="https://www.fatmascara.com/blog/caroline-hirons" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">fatmascara.com/blog/caroline-hirons</a></li><li>Products mentioned in this episode: <a href="https://shopmy.us/collections/1703125" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">shopmy.us/collections/1703125</a></li><li>Sponsor links & discount codes: <a href="https://www.fatmascara.com/sponsors" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">fatmascara.com/sponsors</a></li><li>Private Facebook Group: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/301355990240321/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fat Mascara Raising a Wand</a></li><li>TikTok & Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/fatmascara/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@fatmascara</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jenn_edit/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@jenn_edit</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jessicamatlin/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@jessicamatlin</a> + contributors <a href="https://www.instagram.com/garrettmunce/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@garrettmunce</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/missjulee/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@missjulee</a></li><li>Submit a "Raise A Wand" product recommendation: text us or leave a voicemail at <a href="tel:1646-481-8182" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">646-481-8182</a> or email <a href="mailto:info@fatmascara.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">info@fatmascara.com</a></li></ul> <hr> Hosted on Acast.
