Jennifer Sullivan & Jessica Matlin
About this episode
We reveal the year’s biggest moments in beauty culture, and what we loved, hated, and (in some cases) still aren’t sure about. Let’s discuss how beauty influencers affect girlhood, the age of Ozempic, celebrities without makeup, the year of fragrance, stunt perfumes, Barbie-mania, the slowdown of VC funding in beauty, brands that are getting weird, people who leave mean product reviews, the real cost of doing beauty work, and so much more. Happy New Year, everyone!
