Speaker 1: It was a beautiful week, so ready for the weekend,
Speaker 1: and I've got the perfect way to usher it in.
Speaker 1: We are going to pop off on all the week's
Speaker 1: beauty and style trends today. We're talking about a celebrities
Speaker 1: hack for plumping your lips, the natural way, the sunburned
Speaker 1: makeup trend that's taking over the internet, that one needs
Speaker 1: some explanation, and the bold approach to summer handbags hint
Speaker 1: hint might make you hungry.
Speaker 2: Okay, but before we talk trends, we want to spotlight
Speaker 2: our favorite moment of the week. Brought to you by
Speaker 2: our friends at BMW.
Speaker 1: Yes, the spotlight of the week is going to a
Speaker 1: woman who is giving us eternal sunshine. We want to
Speaker 1: give a big birthday shout out to miss Ariana Grande.
Speaker 2: Ooh more life. She turned thirty one on Wednesday, and
Speaker 2: to celebrate, she gave us a little throwback video on
Speaker 2: Instagram of her singing as a kid. So in this
Speaker 2: really adorable video, she must be like two or three
Speaker 2: years old, and she's prancing around in what looks like
Speaker 2: it could be the entrance to her house, and she's
Speaker 2: showing off that signature Ariana belting. She's even doing the
Speaker 2: hand jive movement from Grease.
Speaker 1: This video is so cute. If you haven't seen it,
Speaker 1: you got to go check it out. And a lot
Speaker 1: of other celebrities are joining in the celebration of this
Speaker 1: viral moment too. Our own Reese Witherspoon commented, oh yes,
Speaker 1: please never lose this energy, and Ariana Grande's costar from
Speaker 1: the upcoming Wicked film, Cynthia Revo, said, happy birthday, my
Speaker 1: sweet sister. I love their dynamic total friendship goals between
Speaker 1: Cynthia and Ariana.
Speaker 2: Yes, I totally agree. She's getting ready for the release
Speaker 2: of the brand new Wicked movie out this fall, and
Speaker 2: Ari has had quite the year. She released new music
Speaker 2: and some really dope music videos to go along with it.
Speaker 2: Her teens in her twenties are full of major milestones.
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see what Ari does in her thirties.
Speaker 1: I mean, Danielle, your mom did tell us that you
Speaker 1: are an unclaimed pop star. I mean she confirmed this
Speaker 1: on the show when we talked to her on Mother's Day.
Speaker 1: So where are your singing videos? Huh? Where are they?
Speaker 2: First of all, her word was unclaimed. My word has failed.
Speaker 2: Those videos are buried deep in the basement. They will
Speaker 2: never see the light of day. You're just gonna have
Speaker 2: to keep watching Ariana's videos instead. They are much better.
Speaker 2: So happy birthday, Ari.
Speaker 1: All right, y'all, it's time to pop off officially, so
Speaker 1: let's bring in Andrea Lavinhal. She's the beauty and style
Speaker 1: director at People Magazine, a suburban mom of two, and
Speaker 1: an overall good time girlye. Andrea, Welcome to the bright Side.
Speaker 1: Welcome Andrea, Thank you for having me so, Andrea, you
Speaker 1: have been at People for over a decade.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: You do interviews, you write and edit stories, you wear
Speaker 1: many hats. You even test beauty products as well. I
Speaker 1: do so in your time at people, is there a
Speaker 1: trend that has completely captured you, that has gotten you
Speaker 1: in a choke hold, or maybe one that you're happy
Speaker 1: to see go?
Speaker 3: Oh god.
Speaker 4: I feel like there's so many celebrity beauty trends that
Speaker 4: like come and go, especially ones we see on TikTok.
Speaker 4: Right now, we can talk about some trends I'm loving.
Speaker 4: I'm loving that everybody's wearing linen vest sets. I don't
Speaker 4: know if you guys have been seeing this. We just
Speaker 4: covered it in the magazine, and I said, it kind
Speaker 4: of makes me feel like everyone has like a business
Speaker 4: meeting on a yacht. It's that like I have some
Speaker 4: paperwork to sign, but it's in the Amalfi Coast, and
Speaker 4: I like that.
Speaker 2: I like that too. Would you wear one?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 4: I wore one the other day in front of all
Speaker 4: my Greenwich mom friends and I was like, does anyone
Speaker 4: have any paperwork for me to sign? I'll sit on
Speaker 4: a raft in the pool.
Speaker 1: Just like.
Speaker 3: But it's a very wearable trend.
Speaker 4: So I like things when I see celebrities wearing things
Speaker 4: that like real people can and should wear, because that's
Speaker 4: not always the case.
Speaker 1: As the beauty and style director at People Magazine, I
Speaker 1: imagine you do have to keep an eye out for accessibility,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, and relatability, you know, because you want to
Speaker 1: keep your audience in mind. So what is the people
Speaker 1: formula to identifying a trend or trend setters?
Speaker 4: So a celebrity trend, I say it comes in threes,
Speaker 4: like deaths, right, Like if three celebrities cut bangs, we
Speaker 4: have a trend on our heads. Oh if three celebrities
Speaker 4: wear a striped button down shirt, which recently happened, we
Speaker 4: have a trend, you know, like we the season it's happening.
Speaker 4: But then again, like you said, like what is the
Speaker 4: trend for our reader? So I just use myself Basically,
Speaker 4: I feel like I am the reader. My friends people
Speaker 4: I know, would I tell them to wear that? If
Speaker 4: I saw them at back to school night wearing that?
Speaker 4: Would I think they've lost their minds? Or would it
Speaker 4: be like she looks great? You know, it's it's something
Speaker 4: that like we have to wear in our real lives
Speaker 4: as grown women.
Speaker 2: Do trends start with the celebrity or is it if
Speaker 2: we backtrack a little bit, is it their stylist, or
Speaker 2: is it even one step further the designers who send
Speaker 2: things down the runway the season before. I can't ever
Speaker 2: pinpoint who starts these things.
Speaker 3: That's a really good question.
Speaker 4: I would say, I'm always going to just invoke double
Speaker 4: Warus Prada, the Cerulean blue speech of it all. I
Speaker 4: do think it starts mostly with the designers, because those
Speaker 4: are the clothes that we see celebrities wear before the
Speaker 4: rest of us have any access to them. But then
Speaker 4: to your point, it's how the stylists style them and
Speaker 4: who they're putting them on that matters. So you know
Speaker 4: when you saw that Valentino saturated Valentino pink happen, that
Speaker 4: started on the runway and then you saw like Anne
Speaker 4: Hathaway and a million other celebrities wearing it, and then
Speaker 4: we all were wearing pink.
Speaker 3: For a while.
Speaker 2: Well, we think that you are so funny. We were
Speaker 2: looking at your Instagram and you do this series called
Speaker 2: Supermarket Conversations, So you basically start with something like Chris
Speaker 2: at Trader Joe's. It feels like some are out there,
Speaker 2: and then you'll launch into this mini op ed and
Speaker 2: it's so hilarious. What was the inspiration behind these.
Speaker 4: I think that it was during COVID that I posted
Speaker 4: the first version of this. I think I was like
Speaker 4: kind of losing my mind. There wasn't a lot of
Speaker 4: interpersonal chitchat right, Like you were missing that day to
Speaker 4: day chitchat. And as someone who loves to talk and
Speaker 4: talks two people and then immediately regrets what I said,
Speaker 4: like I didn't have that. So when you could go
Speaker 4: to a supermarket or a CVS or whatever, I was
Speaker 4: so desperate for small talk. In my I would start
Speaker 4: saying things, but then in my head, I'd also have
Speaker 4: all these things going. And I always joke that my
Speaker 4: Instagram's like a diary. I'm like begging everyone to read,
Speaker 4: as opposed to putting a on it and being like
Speaker 4: keep out. And then people would be like, oh my god,
Speaker 4: this is like how I think. Like so many people
Speaker 4: are like I think, like this weird stream of consciousness
Speaker 4: and some of those things I do say.
Speaker 3: Summer in my.
Speaker 2: Head, Andrea, tell us what's on your radar right now.
Speaker 4: Other than linen vest sets, which become my whole personality
Speaker 4: this summer exactly.
Speaker 2: Well, at least through this week. Trends cycle through very
Speaker 2: quickly nowadays.
Speaker 4: They do, and I'm like worried that come fall, I'm
Speaker 4: going to have this like closet of like breezy linen
Speaker 4: sets that never see the light of day again. I also,
Speaker 4: you know, I didn't mean to start something, but I
Speaker 4: think I did when I think I posted on Instagram
Speaker 4: that I'm concerned about the future of mesh flats. They
Speaker 4: have like taken over the feet of women across the country.
Speaker 4: Where you guys stand on this, please as too like
Speaker 4: plugged in very like on trend women, Where do you stand?
Speaker 2: I am not a trends person usually, like I like
Speaker 2: stuff that kind of withstands moments in time. I like
Speaker 2: the mesh flats. I do almost bought a pair. I
Speaker 2: really really like them. I think they're cool looking. I
Speaker 2: just am not usually a flat girl because I'm five
Speaker 2: to one, so I'm debating whether or not I can rocket.
Speaker 1: What I like about this new era of mesh flats
Speaker 1: is that it feels like an elevated rebirth of the
Speaker 1: mesh flats that I grew up with as a millennial,
Speaker 1: which were the ones that you bought at the beauty store. Yes,
Speaker 1: were you know, very lightweight, very cheaply made, and they
Speaker 1: were like foush. They were like four bucks. You could
Speaker 1: get a multi pack, different colors. They had the little
Speaker 1: clusters of sequin flowers.
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, yes, you got an appliquet on them,
Speaker 4: but now.
Speaker 1: You know we've got options. They are beautiful braided flats.
Speaker 1: I have my eye on this pair of frey to
Speaker 1: Salvador flats. They're really cute.
Speaker 2: Who is not the first time that Simone has brought
Speaker 2: up the freight of Salvador flats. I can tell you
Speaker 2: really want them.
Speaker 1: I need to just get them. I don't know what
Speaker 1: I'm waiting for, but yeah, I'm here for it. I'm
Speaker 1: here for the new version of the mesh flat.
Speaker 4: So I you know, they came out like last year
Speaker 4: you saw the high Fashion the Row. They were alaya
Speaker 4: like you were seeing these very expensive versions of sheer shoes,
Speaker 4: and then every brand started like producing them, and this
Speaker 4: summer they're inescapable.
Speaker 3: But I was like, I'm worried about their future.
Speaker 4: I don't know that they have lung jevity, and I'm
Speaker 4: worried that again comes September, We're going to look back
Speaker 4: on our mesh flat moment and really be concerned. Like, look,
Speaker 4: back at trends, you were like handkerchief tops and low
Speaker 4: rise gens, but even sooner like this one has like
Speaker 4: a three month window right now.
Speaker 3: But I don't know.
Speaker 2: Okay, even though I feel like we started, I'm just
Speaker 2: going to reiterate that we are going to pop off today.
Speaker 2: And so we're talking summer fashion trends, and every summer
Speaker 2: it seems like there's something specific. I remember last summer
Speaker 2: we saw the rise in baggy clothes, and I remember
Speaker 2: it because I loved it. I love baggy clothes, which
Speaker 2: is probably how I don't dress for men. But this
Speaker 2: year we're seeing high wasted pants and cottage core and
Speaker 2: making news about summer fashion this week is Chrissy Teagan,
Speaker 2: who I think it's actually Chrissy Tigan, but it's forever
Speaker 2: Chrissy Tegan in my mind.
Speaker 1: I can.
Speaker 2: She told People magazine that at thirty eight years old,
Speaker 2: she's focused on dressing in a way that matches her maturity,
Speaker 2: and she says, quote keeping things chic. But here's what's
Speaker 2: out to me. She said she's been reflecting on where
Speaker 2: she buys her clothes lately and questioning if certain things
Speaker 2: are too young for her. Now, I sort of felt
Speaker 2: like a way about this when I read it, because
Speaker 2: I don't know if there's such a thing as dressing
Speaker 2: for your age. I think that's kind of an antiquated thought.
Speaker 3: Am I wrong?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 4: I mean personally, I was surprised to hear her at
Speaker 4: her age feel that she has aged out of certain
Speaker 4: brands or websites or whatever. I thought that that was
Speaker 4: an antiquated thing, like miniskirts forever. You know, bikinis till
Speaker 4: death totally, it's an official motto bikini's till death, especially
Speaker 4: when you're.
Speaker 3: Chrissy Teague and Tigan.
Speaker 4: Yes, where it all, but I do understand having that
Speaker 4: moment of pause. So we go to a lot of
Speaker 4: theme parties here in Greenwich. It's another conversation for a
Speaker 4: different popping off, I suppose. And the dress for a
Speaker 4: recent fortieth I went to was to wear the thing
Speaker 4: in your closet that you wanted to wear but it's weird,
Speaker 4: which is a very long and vague dress code. I
Speaker 4: chose a cutout bodysuit with a chain tie neck that
Speaker 4: I purchased on the real reel, meant to return, missed
Speaker 4: the return window and had to live with.
Speaker 3: So I'm like that's my item.
Speaker 4: I went to dinner beforehand with my husband in said bodysuit,
Speaker 4: and he just kept looking at me and not in
Speaker 4: the way like wow, you look good, but like a
Speaker 4: little like is everything okay?
Speaker 3: And I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 4: I felt like I was his secret girlfriend having dinner
Speaker 4: with the husband. It didn't feel like it went with
Speaker 4: my age, my vibe, but I wore it.
Speaker 3: I'll never wear it again.
Speaker 4: So while I said one thing about there is no
Speaker 4: such thing as dressing for age, I do think you
Speaker 4: come to a point where certain things maybe aren't.
Speaker 3: They don't feel like you and you don't feel like them.
Speaker 2: But is that style or is that age?
Speaker 4: I don't know if any forty four year olds Mom
Speaker 4: and Greenwach should be wearing the bodysuit I was wearing, So.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go put both or that one.
Speaker 1: We had Rachel Zoe on the show and she said
Speaker 1: that she doesn't believe that there's any such thing as
Speaker 1: dressing for your age. I do think generally speaking that's true.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm thirty six years old. I'm wearing a
Speaker 1: crop top right now. I'm not going to stop wearing
Speaker 1: crops should and high waisted pants. I will always love
Speaker 1: that combination. However, will you find me in your local
Speaker 1: Brandy Melville No. Will you find me in urban outfitters
Speaker 1: buying something that's not in the home to course section. No,
Speaker 1: because I just know that I have aged out of
Speaker 1: certain stores for the most part. Maybe there are exceptions.
Speaker 1: So I think it's more about being selective and curating
Speaker 1: where you're shopping from. I think you can do that
Speaker 1: with like maturity and elegance and grace, And I also
Speaker 1: think that you can adapt some of the trends that
Speaker 1: are being worn by a younger generation and just like
Speaker 1: make it work for your body. I think at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, it's about your body more than
Speaker 1: anything else. Your body, your confidence, and your vibe. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I agree with you. But what's funny is,
Speaker 1: as I was like nodding, I'm like, yeah, she's so right.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I was just wearing a set, like a
Speaker 1: matching set. Apparently this is all I do at the beach,
Speaker 1: and this other mom was like, oh my god, that's
Speaker 1: so cute as a jay cribin. I was like, it's
Speaker 1: from Airy, So like if you go into Airy, like
Speaker 1: it's you and the Sephora tweens right, like when they're
Speaker 1: not like ransacking Sephora, they're in there buying. But they
Speaker 1: have the best like poolside beachside matching sets, and they're
Speaker 1: so affordable that I love finding stuff like that at
Speaker 1: those stores.
Speaker 4: Abercrombie. I never wear Abercrombie. The first time around. They
Speaker 4: weren't speaking to me. They didn't want me in those genes.
Speaker 4: Now they've got some really cute stuff. So it's like
Speaker 4: here I am, all of a sudden, in my forties
Speaker 4: wearing Abercrombie.
Speaker 3: Very odd. Never saw that coming.
Speaker 2: First of all, Andrea, I love that you mentioned Airy.
Speaker 2: I wear a ton of Airy. I love their clothes
Speaker 2: so cute, so cute, and so soft and comfortable. But
Speaker 2: here's what has happened to me. As I've gotten older,
Speaker 2: I wear more clothes. And it's not like a decision
Speaker 2: based on my age. It's that I think I've learned
Speaker 2: that more clothes is chicer. Like when I was in college,
Speaker 2: I wore I was so naked. I wore like body
Speaker 2: con dresses and high heels. I dressed like Snookie Like
Speaker 2: I was like, I thought that was cool, Like that
Speaker 2: bodysuit you're talking about eighteen year old Danielle would have
Speaker 2: loved that body suit.
Speaker 1: Okay, we're gonna hit pause on popping off and go
Speaker 1: to a quick break, but we'll be right back. Don't
Speaker 1: go anywhere. We're back talking beauty and style trends with
Speaker 1: People's Andrea Labenthal. Okay, Danielle, I think our next fashion
Speaker 1: trend might be right up your alley because your sweet
Speaker 1: Midwestern self has said that Ketchup can go with just
Speaker 1: about everything they can. I need to find out whether
Speaker 1: you think that holds true when it comes to a handbag.
Speaker 1: Are we familiar with condiment cotur.
Speaker 2: Ladies, I'm not tell me about this.
Speaker 1: Okay, let me educate you. So, Hines Ketchup is partnering
Speaker 1: with Kate Spade and releasing limited edition Heines Ketchup clothing,
Speaker 1: which they say their marketing department says is just in
Speaker 1: time for the New York summer barbecue season. So let
Speaker 1: me paint a picture for you. This isn't just red clothing.
Speaker 1: These are actual clothing items with the Hines logo on it.
Speaker 1: The collection includes purses that look exactly like those white
Speaker 1: ketchup packets that you will find at McDonald's. They even
Speaker 1: have a little bit of red fake ketchup coming out
Speaker 1: the side, and there's a chain that allows you to
Speaker 1: actually turn this aesthetic into a purse and wear it
Speaker 1: across your body. There are actually loafers with ketchup packets
Speaker 1: adorned on them, because everyone needs those in their closet.
Speaker 1: It's got the tote, We've got the clutch, We've got
Speaker 1: like the other clutch. We have options. There's a white
Speaker 1: cross body purse with a three D design of ketchup
Speaker 1: spilling out of the torn packet. There's a tomato red
Speaker 1: tote with the Hindz logo complete with tear here ketchup
Speaker 1: packet details. Andrea, what do we think? Are we about
Speaker 1: to see this at themed parties across Greenwich, Connecticut?
Speaker 4: So the Katesby team pitched this to me h for coverage,
Speaker 4: and I am not gonna lie. At first, I was like,
Speaker 4: this felt like one of those silly brands like April
Speaker 4: Foles moments, because brands have done that where they're like, yes,
Speaker 4: it's a lip bomb, but now it's ranch flavored, and
Speaker 4: you're like real fake I don't know, but no, it's
Speaker 4: very real. And I had to remind myself I was
Speaker 4: coming from a very anti ketchup standpoint, and that is
Speaker 4: an unpopular opinion. I have been accused of being a
Speaker 4: communist in my household for not liking ketchup. I don't
Speaker 4: like the smell, I don't like the taste. I don't
Speaker 4: like anything about it. So when I get a ketchup
Speaker 4: forward pitch like this, this is a tough one for
Speaker 4: me to put on my journalist a objective hat, right,
Speaker 4: because it's an automatic no.
Speaker 1: I think maybe the larger question here is, Danielle, how
Speaker 1: do you feel about kitchy food and BEV images on purses,
Speaker 1: on accessories? Is it ready for the club or for
Speaker 1: the dinner party? What do we think personally?
Speaker 2: A hard no, it's not my style. I'm like, I
Speaker 2: like everything that's sort of like minimalistic, and i'd say
Speaker 2: like a little bit timeless. It's tough for me to
Speaker 2: have kitchy anything. What I will say is the stats
Speaker 2: are against me because these collabs do really well. They're
Speaker 2: incredibly profitable, like we've seen dunkin Donuts inspired makeup.
Speaker 4: I actually went into TikTok to check out some gals
Speaker 4: who had purchased Yes, I love including you know, the
Speaker 4: cross body guys. With the aforementioned swiggle of ketchup. It's
Speaker 4: three hundred and ninety eight dollars. So we're not talking like,
Speaker 4: you know, a casual tote here. The tote bag is
Speaker 4: three seventy. The girls who have purchased this on TikTok
Speaker 4: one said she needed this more than she needs air.
Speaker 4: There are super fans among us, whether they are Kate
Speaker 4: Spade super fans or ketchup. I didn't get that deep,
Speaker 4: but they they are so excited about this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so there is that's an audience.
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, there's a bookstore in New York called
Speaker 2: the Strand Bookstore, and there's a Bottega bag that they
Speaker 2: made with in collaboration with the Strand Bookstore that I
Speaker 2: cannot afford, and yet I look at it on eBay,
Speaker 2: I'd say twice a year. So like, there are certain
Speaker 2: collabs that I'm here for. I guess Hines is just
Speaker 2: not my thing. Okay, while we're on the topic of
Speaker 2: food and Hathaway, she's a little bit of a hacker.
Speaker 2: Do you guys remember a few years ago when she
Speaker 2: did that thing with the cupcake on the Kelly Clarkson Show.
Speaker 1: Yes, Yeah, it was genius.
Speaker 2: She changed the way I eat cupcakes. She basically cut
Speaker 2: it in half. She cuts the top off and flips
Speaker 2: it over so that the frosting is in the middle,
Speaker 2: and she almost makes like a mud pie like cupcake thing.
Speaker 3: I loved it.
Speaker 2: Now she's giving us another hack, and I want us
Speaker 2: to try it to see if we like it as
Speaker 2: much as this cupcake one. It's reminiscent of when people
Speaker 2: put Snapple bottles like their lips and Snapple bottles to
Speaker 2: get the Kylie Jenner lip.
Speaker 4: It's as if she doesn't know that like lip plumpers
Speaker 4: exist or other things. This feels like we're living in
Speaker 4: like the Bridger Tin downtin Abbey era and like all
Speaker 4: we have is a hairpin, or we're in prison.
Speaker 1: We love a Victorian beauty experiment. I actually like that. She's,
Speaker 1: you know, presenting another option to injectables because maybe they're
Speaker 1: not for everybody. And this is this is half the price.
Speaker 3: That's a good point.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 4: So we're all poking. Okay, okay, So we're poking to
Speaker 4: stimulate blood flow.
Speaker 1: So here's what you do. You grab your hair pin
Speaker 1: and you take the pointy side and you just kind
Speaker 1: of massage and gently poke. I guess it's around where
Speaker 1: your skin actually meets the lip tissue.
Speaker 3: I just hope I don't poke the filler out of
Speaker 3: my lift.
Speaker 2: It's just a tiny I have to tell you. This
Speaker 2: does not feel good and I'm not sure it's working.
Speaker 1: You know, I have a great idea. We could just
Speaker 1: buy a lip plumping lip gloss.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. This feels very prison Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna stick with her cupcake hac over
Speaker 2: this one. This one's not for me.
Speaker 3: I vote no.
Speaker 4: How about you, guys, I think you could get a
Speaker 4: better If you want something that's like a Households mcg
Speaker 4: ivory item, I would take like a very soft toothbrush
Speaker 4: to stimulate the blood flow to your lips.
Speaker 2: That's a way better idea. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean, I've seen the first generation of lip plumpers,
Speaker 4: which contains either peppermint oil or cinnamon to irritate your
Speaker 4: lip tissue. So while yes, your lips were plumper looking,
Speaker 4: they also were on fire. And now they use like
Speaker 4: hyaluronic acid and other like plumping ingredients that are more gentle.
Speaker 3: This is just like this is like medieval.
Speaker 1: Speaking of medieval, presentations of the body. I've got another
Speaker 1: trend that we need to discuss. So this is another
Speaker 1: People pop off. Andrea. People Magazine says more celebrities have
Speaker 1: been leaning towards going natural with body hair and skipping
Speaker 1: on grooming, and this is actually something that I've heard
Speaker 1: about for a little while. Now Here are some of
Speaker 1: the celebrities who are calling this a vibe. Emma Corn,
Speaker 1: who played the young Princess Diana from The Crown. She
Speaker 1: says she's showing off her grown out arm hair on
Speaker 1: the cover of the June July issue of Harper's Bizarre Models.
Speaker 1: Ashley Graham, Emily Radikowski, and musicians Madonna and Halsey were
Speaker 1: also noted as being fans of letting it all grow
Speaker 1: out in the past. So I think that this is
Speaker 1: definitely a rejection of some of the beauty standards that
Speaker 1: women have been held to. You know, we are expected
Speaker 1: to always be perfectly groomed, perfectly manicured, like naked mole rats,
Speaker 1: not have any hair on our bodies at all, And
Speaker 1: these women are saying, you know what, I'm tired of
Speaker 1: doing that and I'm gonna let it grow out. I
Speaker 1: support it. I think that everybody's got to do what
Speaker 1: you want to do. It makes you feel good. I
Speaker 1: will say that as a mom who doesn't always have
Speaker 1: a lot of time to do in everything, shower, sometimes
Speaker 1: the leg hair it gets a little long. Okay, you know,
Speaker 1: sometimes the body hair gets a little long, because that's
Speaker 1: just not the most important thing in my life. You know,
Speaker 1: I have other priorities.
Speaker 2: Leg hair is different from armpit hair, though, or like
Speaker 2: I suffer from a mustache and like, I'm not letting
Speaker 2: that grow. I've seen some women who do, like, and
Speaker 2: you are totally right to each their own because part
Speaker 2: of beauty and trends. You know, we're joking about all this,
Speaker 2: but at the core of it is really that they
Speaker 2: make you feel good and are an expression of who
Speaker 2: you are. And so if growing out your body hair
Speaker 2: is an expression of you, then all the power to you.
Speaker 2: But it is not for me. I am a naked
Speaker 2: mole rat kind of girly.
Speaker 3: I think that.
Speaker 4: It's great that you like the mustache of it all. Like, yeah,
Speaker 4: I think that that's very brave to share names. You
Speaker 4: want to say like none of us are hairless, or
Speaker 4: as you get older, I will tell you as.
Speaker 3: Somebody a little bit older than you.
Speaker 4: You will find hair in places that you didn't know
Speaker 4: it was possible, like water in a desert.
Speaker 3: Who knew?
Speaker 2: Is it the random chin hair for you?
Speaker 1: Because chin?
Speaker 3: Forget it?
Speaker 4: I mean, I tell everyone keep a tweezer in your
Speaker 4: car because there is no better light than the pickup
Speaker 4: line light. And if you see another mom picking her
Speaker 4: chin hair, you wave to her and you salute her
Speaker 4: for her work. Okay, you never feel embarrassed. You empower
Speaker 4: each other to get that hair while you can. But
Speaker 4: body hair under arm legs wherever you want it to grow, sure,
Speaker 4: personal choice, Let it grow whatever you want to do.
Speaker 1: Whenever we start to question these universally held beauty standards,
Speaker 1: I always think it's interesting to go back in time
Speaker 1: a little bit and look through the history and see
Speaker 1: when they really became widely accepted. So I thought this
Speaker 1: was interesting. Back in the nineteen hundreds, most women didn't
Speaker 1: really care about having body hair under their armpits or
Speaker 1: on their legs. But then advertisers really started to make
Speaker 1: a big deal out of it and started to draw
Speaker 1: attention to hair in our armpits in about nineteen fifteen,
Speaker 1: and then by the nineteen fifties, having clean shaven legs
Speaker 1: became very normal and mainstream. So you know, everybody adopts
Speaker 1: these standards for different reasons. But I always think it's
Speaker 1: interesting to figure out, Okay, why are we doing this?
Speaker 1: Was there a big marketing push behind this? Was there
Speaker 1: big hair removal behind this?
Speaker 2: So I got laser hair removal because of capitalism, that's
Speaker 2: what you're telling me.
Speaker 4: Yes, Because some men in a boardroom in the nineteen
Speaker 4: fifties it was like, you know what, what can we
Speaker 4: get women to spend money on?
Speaker 3: Next?
Speaker 4: Right, Like, let's tell them they're hideous, willed debeasts and
Speaker 4: see if we can get them to remove nearly all
Speaker 4: their body hair. And as somebody who moved to New
Speaker 4: York City at the height of the Brazilian bikini wax
Speaker 4: and completely bear and J's sisters and all of that,
Speaker 4: Like that.
Speaker 3: Was the vibe.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean when I tell you I've been towards
Speaker 4: some stuff in places I don't think you should.
Speaker 2: Andrea, we are having so much fun with you, but
Speaker 2: we need to take a quick break. Stick with us,
Speaker 2: and we're back to pop an off with Andrea Labenthal. Okay,
Speaker 2: last one for everybody. There's this new makeup trend surging
Speaker 2: across TikTok. It's called this sunburn makeup trend. So basically,
Speaker 2: you use exaggerated highlights around your eyes and heavier blush
Speaker 2: on your cheeks, so it gives the impression that you've
Speaker 2: been out in the sun. But some of the extreme
Speaker 2: versions look like you have that raccoon I when you
Speaker 2: have your sunglasses on and you get a little burned.
Speaker 2: I also call it like the skiing I you know,
Speaker 2: like your goggle tan. But the more subtle version of
Speaker 2: this I actually think is really cute. It just gives
Speaker 2: your cheeks that extra glow. I've seen celebs like Sabrina
Speaker 2: Carpenter get on board with this. Have you tried this?
Speaker 4: So I was very intrigued, and I get sent a
Speaker 4: ton of beauty products because it's my job to test them.
Speaker 4: So I grabbed the appropriately named E Cosmetics sun Blush.
Speaker 3: It's new.
Speaker 4: I got in there, I went like double down way
Speaker 4: more than I would put and I have to say,
Speaker 4: I think it looks really cute. It made it reminded
Speaker 4: me like blush makes you look good, like healthy, you know,
Speaker 4: brings some brightness and extra blush never a bad thing.
Speaker 3: Now when you start to go into like.
Speaker 4: I fell asleep, you know, in the sun at the
Speaker 4: beach territory, it's not as.
Speaker 3: Cute, but like a little bit of a flush.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I like it. This is so funny
Speaker 1: to me because everything that's old is new again for me.
Speaker 1: This is one of the beauty trends that I grew
Speaker 1: up seeing in magazines. I feel like the Victoria's Secret
Speaker 1: models of the nineties really popular as this look like
Speaker 1: Giselle Boonchin, Tyra Banks. I mean, they all were doing
Speaker 1: those editorials on the beach where their skin was super
Speaker 1: glowy and they had a lot of blush under their eyes.
Speaker 1: And I think the trick is you have to continue
Speaker 1: it over the bridge of the nose, so it's almost
Speaker 1: like you're doing a stripe on the yes from temple
Speaker 1: to temple. There's there's this other trend too right now
Speaker 1: in terms of blush called sunset blush, and it's where
Speaker 1: you create a gradient effect by blending two different shades
Speaker 1: of blush, like a peach and a pink, so that
Speaker 1: you get this ombre as you swipe the blush up
Speaker 1: on your face.
Speaker 2: It's true artistry, guys. This is like painters using colors.
Speaker 2: That's a lot of work for me. I don't know,
Speaker 2: but I do like the first one I like. I
Speaker 2: agree with Andrew. I feel like it just gives you.
Speaker 2: She's still nobody comes still blushing. She's been putting on
Speaker 2: blush for the last two minutes, so you obviously like it.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 4: I was trying to think, like, with all this blush,
Speaker 4: who do I look like? And then Simone said Giselle
Speaker 4: and I was like, exactly, yes, now I look like her?
Speaker 4: But I do I have to say I'm inspired. I
Speaker 4: would like do this more often. It's a reminder to
Speaker 4: put on more blush when it's out, just a bit more,
Speaker 4: just a bit, however you look at it, sunburn blush
Speaker 4: is better than a sunburn.
Speaker 1: So I think this is a healthier trend for us
Speaker 1: to be aiming for. I will say, in terms of
Speaker 1: creating a glowy summer face, I got my makeup done
Speaker 1: for an event the other day with my friend Ray Dawn,
Speaker 1: who's been doing my makeup for years, and she showed
Speaker 1: me this hack that changed the game for me. She
Speaker 1: put on liquid highlighter underneath the foundation and then put
Speaker 1: the foundation on top contour everything, but it gave me
Speaker 1: this subtle all overglow. I don't know, maybe every one's
Speaker 1: been doing this for a while, but I just put
Speaker 1: two and two together and I really like the way
Speaker 1: that it looked.
Speaker 3: That is what we call in the biz, a lit
Speaker 3: from within glow.
Speaker 1: Thank you and wonderful. There's a name for it.
Speaker 4: I mean, every again thanks to the TikTok and our
Speaker 4: appetite for trends. Next week it's going to be put
Speaker 4: the illuminator over, under, inside, outside, all around.
Speaker 3: Dad stands up.
Speaker 2: I thought that was called underpainting because Mary Phillips really
Speaker 2: made that popular.
Speaker 4: Underpainting has to do also with like doing your contour
Speaker 4: and your concealer underneath your foundation.
Speaker 3: I have never been able to master that. I blame
Speaker 3: it on my children.
Speaker 4: You need time, you need patients, you need to be alone,
Speaker 4: and as Simone knows, it's not happening.
Speaker 1: I need the ten minute beauty trend TikTok. Send me
Speaker 1: your ten minute beauty tips, because that's all I have. Yeah, Andrea,
Speaker 1: I just had an idea. We did a segment on
Speaker 1: our favorite drugstore beauty proput okay quick before we go,
Speaker 1: could you share what your favorites are because maybe Danielle
Speaker 1: and I need to add those to her shopping cart. Okay.
Speaker 4: Number one and the most boring but longest standing is
Speaker 4: Dove body wash. I ride or die for Dove body Wash.
Speaker 4: Nothing smells better, nothing leaves my skin softer. Drugstore Mescara
Speaker 4: all the way. If I'm buying with my own money,
Speaker 4: I'm buying any Loreal Paris any Maybelein Mescara. I'm not
Speaker 4: spending money on a big, expensive, fancish, fancy Mescara. Maybelein
Speaker 4: Age Rewinds Concealer one of the best I've ever used.
Speaker 4: It has this like little foam spongy applicator. I don't
Speaker 4: know what it is. It's like very creamy, it's easy
Speaker 4: to blend. I've been using it for years. It's one
Speaker 4: of my absolute faves. So I think that's that's most
Speaker 4: of it. But I think drugstore beauty products are like
Speaker 4: just as good sometimes if not better than the really
Speaker 4: expensive stuff.
Speaker 2: Andrea, thanks for popping off with us today. This was
Speaker 2: so much fun. Thank you guys.
Speaker 4: And really, I'm so glad that I discovered this blush
Speaker 4: trend because the Giselle and me really needed it.
Speaker 2: You know, Yeah, I agree, I think you're going to
Speaker 2: be blushing for the next few hours.
Speaker 1: I think I do.
