First up, beauty news correspondents Cass and Mollie are unpacking the fascinating science behind the red-hair gene, the "cosmeticorexia" investigation taking over Italy, and why we don't have to say goodbye to Pat McGrath Labs just yet. Then, Leigh and Kelly dive into the ultimate "MacGyver" beauty hacks. Whether you’re stuck in a hotel with only shampoo or trying to figure out how to make your highlighter look more natural, we’ve got a workaround for everything. Plus, we answer a listener's SOS on how to achieve flawless coverage without the "cakey" finish that can often age the skin.
