Ep. 128: Fat Mascara co-host Jennifer G. Sullivan on staying curious yet cynical about beauty and what makes the perfect podcast guest

This week’s guest is New York-based Jennifer G. Sullivan, a beauty journalist with 20+ years experience and the co-host of one of the biggest beauty podcasts EVER, Fat Mascara. Alongside Jessica Matlin (Director of Beauty at luxury online retailer Moda Operandi) Jenn started Fat Mascara back in 2016. More than 400 episodes later they have this really balanced approach to discussing the beauty industry and it’s easy to see why the podcast is so popular. In this episode I get to flip the interview process around - after being on Fat Mascara myself in the past - and dive into Jenn’s beauty experiences and experiments. Of course I ask her about her favourite beauty products right now so stay tuned for that. Along the way we discuss everything from foreskins in Jenn’s favourite serum to travel, eighties influences and she also shares some personal insights into how the pandemic affected her family. I know you're going to enjoy this, and if I'm right, please rate and review the show anywhere you like to listen! Be sure to check out Jenn on Instagram as well as Fat Mascara and feel free to tag me when you're listening. See you next time.  Me co-hosting Fat Mascara with Jenn: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4bEHsFoeng6dfEWMtBeGsi?si=4d0a22de7ce444c9 Products mentioned (full list at charissekenion.co): Bioeffect EGF Serum: https://www.bioeffect.com/uk/products/egf-serum Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream: https://www.charlottetilbury.com/uk/product/charlottes-magic-cream Weleda Skin Food: https://www.weleda.co.uk/skin-food-30ml-106056 Naked Sundays SPF50 Collagen Glow 100% Mineral Perfecting Priming Lotion: https://nakedsundays.com/products/spf50-100-mineral-glow-collagen-sunscreen-naked-sundays?variant=39811783852196 Ultraviolette Queen Screen SPF50 Luminising Serum Skinscreen: https://ultraviolette.co.uk/products/queen-screen-spf50 Yves Saint Laurent Opium: https://www.theperfumeshop.com/yves-saint-laurent/opium/eau-de-toilette-for-her/p/33700EDTJU Guerlain Shalimar: https://www.guerlain.com/uk/en-uk/p/shalimar-eau-de-parfum-P011355.html Estee Lauder Pleasures: https://www.esteelauder.co.uk/product/12853/2094/product-catalog/fragrance/collections/pleasures/este-lauder-pleasures/eau-de-parfum-spray Thrive Causemetics Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara: https://thrivecausemetics.com/products/liquid-lash-extensions-mascara
