ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Makeup Molly’s “Babe Cave”: The Five-Minute Mom Face and the Journey Behind It
Our take on NPR's Little Desk Concert, but a podcast discussion in the babe cave!
In a special on-location episode filmed in Makeup Molly’s studio “the babe cave,” the hosts mirror an NPR Tiny Desk-style setup while Molly applies a “five-minute mom face” makeover and shares her story. Molly specializes in clean beauty products (non-GMO, vegan, paraben- and gluten-free, European standards) and discusses her professional milestones, including selling $140,000 in a year, completing 85 non-repeat models, and ranking top 10 in the U.S., before choosing better balance and more presence with her kids. She describes a difficult relationship with her mother and how a friend’s lipstick advice led her to start her business days before her mother died. Molly also shares her health journey, including gastric sleeve surgery, losing 110 pounds, and ongoing side effects. She demos products like CCTM, brows, one-shadow eye, mascara, lipstick-as-blush, bronzer, and translucent loose powder.
