413: Unfiltered Beauty Talk with Byrdie’s Hallie Gould: Skincare, Surgery & Industry Secrets

Hallie Gould is GM and editor-in-chief of the online beauty publication Byrdie. She joins the show for a fun and candid deep dive into the beauty and wellness world from both sides of the industry. We get into skincare routines and Hallie’s specific go-to products, how aging, hormones, and breakouts change the way we approach maintenance, and the instant-gratification treatments she actually thinks are worth it. Hallie pulls back the curtain on what really happens behind the scenes at media outlets—how editors vet products they recommend, what celebrity disclosures about surgery mean for readers, and which trends are here to stay. We also talk hair hacks, the crossover of beauty and wellness, and embracing our 40s with confidence—complete with Eva Longoria and Salma Hayek aging-goals inspo. Plus, Hallie shares her experience with treatments like Softwave and PRF, and walks us through her makeup routine for that effortless dewy glow.
