Co-hosts and longtime beauty journalists Kirbie Johnson and Sara Tan give their perspective on all things makeup, skincare, and wellness at the intersection of pop culture and entertainment. Experts in the field and friends IRL, they pull back the curtain on trends, treatments and popular products — all the things you're likely searching or watching on TikTok. (They'd know — they've spent 10 years creating and optimizing editorial content for mainstream digital beauty publishers.) Tuesday episodes reveal the most notable beauty headlines with informed takes while Friday episodes feature guests from experts in the industry to celebrity spokespeople, including Hailey Bieber, Halsey, Selena Gomez; Dr. Jason Diamond, Danessa Myricks, Mario Dedivanovic, The Lipstick Lesbians and more.

    Spencer Hedges on Choosing to Get a Facelift, Fatherhood, and Mental Health
    Mar 27 2026

    This week, we’re joined by Spencer Hedges — aka Painted by Spencer — the self-taught Cuban-American makeup artist turned global beauty creator known for his incredible before-and-afters and beautiful, cinematic content. Spencer shares how he went from moving to LA at 16 to building a multi-platform empire. We talk about high-production content in a lo-fi era, the influence of his Cuban heritage, and what he’s learned from teaching masterclasses around the world. Spencer also opens up about becoming a father through IVF, getting candid about his mental health, and yes… a recent “refresh.” Plus, we end with rapid-fire takes on makeup musts and misses.

    We Met Jacob Elordi & Michael B. Jordan… Plus Cardi B’s Brand Launch and Scentbird Founder Drama
    Mar 24 2026

    We’re recapping our very memorable night with L’Oréal Groupe at the Night Before the Oscars— where Kirbie met her future husband Jacob Elordi (it’s official), and Sara reunited with longtime boyfriend Michael B. Jordan and also met her new boo Hudson Williams. A big night for the group!!!


    Then, we get into the news: RetailBoss dropped the most-visited beauty sites (and somehow Scentbird made the list?!), Cardi B is entering the beauty space (as she should), and we’re unpacking the Gen Z pout — why everyone suddenly looks like they’re softly pouting at all times and how to achieve it if you dare.

    Plus, we dive into the growing trend of beauty-themed kids’ parties and bat mitzvahs, from Rhode-inspired events to LoveShackFancy aesthetics — and why classic themes like Paris and Hollywood are being replaced.
