| 0:00.0 | Hello, everyone. Welcome to Fat Mascara. I'm Jen Sullivan and I'm Darien Simone Harvin. |
| 0:13.0 | You're like, who's this person? Hi Darien. Welcome, welcome. So yeah, that's not Jess |
| 0:18.8 | Matlin. I have a guest co-host as week. I'm so excited to have you on the show and talk all about |
| 0:23.8 | your career, beauty, pop culture, everything. Thank you for coming. Thank you for having me. I'm |
| 0:31.5 | excited too. I'm a big fan of the pod. I'm a listener, so it's great just to be here and to be |
| 0:37.8 | in conversation with you. See, this is, this is like mutual appreciation society because I'm a |
| 0:43.5 | subscriber to your newsletter, Beauty IRL. Oh, I should get a little background on you. So before we |
| 0:48.9 | get into that, you're a beauty reporter. You've written for the New York Times, Teen Vogue, The Cut, |

| 1:25.5 | really just clicked with me while I was kind of going through my career and I was just thinking about |
| 1:30.8 | changes and new things I wanted to do in media. And I was like, why don't I bring my journalism |
| 1:37.2 | expertise and what I've learned about audiences and the news and reporting into the beauty world. |
| 1:44.5 | And so as much as I report for New York Times, whatever it may be, a lore on these topics, |
| 1:52.8 | I also really like to curate beauty news, which beauty news that is at the intersection of politics |
| 1:58.1 | and pop culture. Yes, I love that tagline. When I first read a newsletter, I was like, |
| 2:03.3 | oh, that's good. You know when someone else writes something really good and you're like, I'm |
| 2:06.9 | jealous. I feel like I finally nailed it. I feel like I'm like, I finally have my little tagline, |
| 2:13.7 | like people get what I do. So it's really, really great in that sense. But it's really just this idea |
