Consider this podcast a masterclass in makeup brushes—even if you’re a makeup artist, we promise you’ll learn something new! Anisa Telwar Kaicker’s company, Anisa International, has been manufacturing brushes for top beauty brands since 1992, and its innovations in cruelty-free fibers have helped to make the industry more ethical. Anisa is also the founder of Anisa Beauty, her own line of responsibly made vegan makeup tools. In this episode, she explains the art of brush making, its cultural heritage, and all the variables that affect a brush’s performance, including the diameter and texture of the bristles, the shape of the head, the glue in the ferrule, even the length and weight of the handle. Use code FATMASCARA50 for 50% off: anisabeauty.comProducts mentioned in this episode: shopmy.us/collections/576982Episode recap with links: fatmascara.com/blog/anisaSponsor links & discount codes: fatmascara.com/sponsorsPrivate Facebook Group: Fat Mascara Raising a WandTikTok & Instagram: @fatmascara, @jenn_edit, @jessicamatlinSubmit a "Raise A Wand" product recommendation: email info@fatmascara.com or text us or leave a voicemail at 646-481-8182

Photographer and host Amanda de Cadenet has made a career of passing the figurative and literal mic to women, letting them share their stories and shape their own images.
