Before she stepped down as CEO, before she was a mom, and before she led Glossier through three more rounds of funding and a $1.2 billion valuation, Emily Weiss came to the Fat Mascara studio to talk about a gray logo sweatshirt and her plans for world domination. In this refreshing interview (originally recorded in 2017), she opens up in a way we haven’t seen in a long time, talking about her favorite mascara (perhaps the one that inspired Glossier Lash Slick, which launched in 2018?); the Arm & Hammer deodorant she buys in bulk; and what it was like to turn a scrappy blog into a beauty behemoth. We’re publishing this now, as a “Best of FM” interview, so you can listen before our upcoming interview with Marisa Meltzer, author of the forthcoming Glossier exposé, Glossy: Ambition, Beauty, and the Inside Story of Emily Weiss's Glossier.
