Fat Mascara

On this Newsroom edition of Fat Mascara, we're joined by Julia Bellary and Sasa Li of GlowJob, the podcast about beauty and business hosted by two beauty enthusiasts from the worlds of tech and finance. We discuss how the "bleph" quickly became the most popular (and possibly most casualized) plastic surgery procedure in the world, and how girlboss culture has come back tenfold: "building in public" seems to be not an option but an order if you want to stay competitive. (See: Scarlett Johansson's recently shuttered, well-respected brand, The Outset.) We also dig into one retail insider's theory that "the luxury customer does not exist."

Dana Capone (@thebeautylawyernyc) has a 360-degree view of the legal side of beauty, having worked with both major corporations and independent creators. (Full disclosure: She also works with Fat Mascara.) Her passion is helping people advocate for themselves, which she says is a muscle you can strengthen with every difficult conversation. In this episode, she explains her "Velvet Hammer" method for negotiating without being labeled "difficult," tips for protecting your product name, where AI fits into legal matters, how to go into business with a friend while protecting your relationship, and more. (Note: This podcast is for educational and entertainment purposes only. Nothing discussed should be construed as legal advice, nor does it create an attorney-client relationship. Laws and circumstances vary, and you should consult your own attorney regarding your specific situation.)

Katie shares how a single Instagram question sparked the idea for her brand, KJH.Brand, now in Sephora and, until recently, entirely self-funded. (“It's quite scary,” she says of taking on investment.) We also get into why education is at the heart of everything she makes, her pet peeve about the term “self-taught,” the A-list founder group chat that keeps her sane, what it's like building a business with her husband, Tarek, and what interests her beyond beauty.
