16. Reporting the Dews featuring Darian Harvin

Wherein the fellas embarrassingly ask beauty reporter Darian Harvin to womansplain the cultural weight of last week’s Brandy vs Monica battle on Verzus before walking them through the nuances of reporting, curating and editing beauty stories during uncertain times and within an ever-changing creator landscape. We also chat the beauty industry’s response to police brutality, Fenty Skin, men’s skincare lines, hair’s role in our post-Covid lives , as well as the importance of actively working to better include trans voices into beauty conversations. Subscribe to her newsletter, Beauty IRL, at http://darian.substack.com and follow her on instagram at @Darian to tune into her IGTV series, Beauty Headlines, a weekly update of what's going on in the beauty industry and how it affects you — even when you don't realize it.
