Introducing: Masked and Answered
Our newest beauty show.

Drum roll, please...Introducing the inaugural episode of Masked and Answered, Marie Claire's newest show hosted by yours truly. In Masked and Answered, we'll be reviewing the latest and greatest face masks and talking all things beauty. If you're also a fan of face mask 'n chill time, join us every Wednesday and Saturday on MC's YouTube channel to hear celebs, influencers, and more share their beauty routines—while masking of course.
In this episode, I'm joined by Marie Claire's associate beauty and health editor, Taylore Glynn. We review GlamGlow's Gravity Mud Firming Mask ($59), answer readers' skincare questions, and share our top products for combatting things like acne, dry and flaky skin, T-zone troubles, "party chin," and more. Ever wondered which face oil is best for oily skin? Or, which lip mask can actually withstand winter woes and keep your lips super supple and moisturized throughout this season? We share our tried-and-true products in this episode.
We start off by applying this mask, which claims to visibly lift, firm, and tighten the skin using targeted ingredients. Bonus: it sparkles, so it's certainly selfie-friendly. Then, we get into answering readers' skincare questions. Go put on your go-to mask of the moment, sit back, and watch us dish out skincare advice.
