Noble Panacea’s Céline Talabaza on Efficacy, Innovation, and the Next Big Conversation in Skincare
Noble Panacea CEO and co-creator Céline Talabaza has seen it all in skincare. After years at some of beauty's most respected companies, she was skeptical when first asked to build a brand around a new technology, until she learned it came from Nobel Prize–winning chemist Sir Fraser Stoddart and saw the real innovation behind it. On this episode, she explains why delivery systems matter just as much as star ingredients, makes the case for single-dose packaging, and shares what it takes to be a luxury product right now.More from Fat MascaraInstagram: @fatmascara @jessicamatlinShop the products mentioned on Fat Mascara: https://shopmy.us/shop/fatmascaraPrivate Facebook Group: Fat Mascara Raising a WandSubmit a Raise a Wand product recommendation, guest suggestion, or just say hello: info@fatmascara.comProduction for this Podcast Provided by Redd Rock MusicIG: @reddrockmusic www.reddrockmusic.com Hosted on Acast.

Newsroom: GlowJob on How the Bleph Became the Biggest Procedure in the World, How Girlboss Culture Crushed The Outset, and Why Everyone Loves Touchland
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."More from Fat MascaraInstagram: @fatmascara @jessicamatlinShop the products mentioned on Fat Mascara: https://shopmy.us/shop/fatmascaraPrivate Facebook Group: Fat Mascara Raising a WandSubmit a Raise a Wand product recommendation, guest suggestion, or just say hello: info@fatmascara.comProduction for this Podcast Provided by Redd Rock MusicIG: @reddrockmusic www.reddrockmusic.com Hosted on Acast.

Makeup Artist Katie Jane Hughes Talks Investment, Working with Your Husband, the Founder Group Chats that Save Her Life, Her Top Skincare Tip, and More

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.More from Fat MascaraInstagram: @fatmascara @jessicamatlinShop the products mentioned on Fat Mascara: https://shopmy.us/shop/fatmascaraPrivate Facebook Group: Fat Mascara Raising a WandSubmit a Raise a Wand product recommendation, guest suggestion, or just say hello: info@fatmascara.comProduction for this Podcast Provided by Redd Rock MusicIG: @reddrockmusicwww.reddrockmusic.com Hosted on Acast.
