Listen to the full episode here:

[Joey] On Lighting in Your Bedroom

“Lighting is one of the main things. Dimmers are amazing if you can afford them. If you can’t, amber light bulbs are your best friend. They make you look sunkissed. It gives you a sunkissed glow. It is the most forgiving light ever. All you have to do is put amber lighting in your lamps. Do not use overhead lighting – You’ll feel like you’re having sex at Target, and it gives you all the wrong shadows.” Molly mentions how she likes having sex with the light off. Joey explains, “Men are a very visual species. Dim the lights a little and say, ‘Tonight I’m freak nasty and you can see me a little bit.’ 5 watts ain’t too much. I also love tea-light candles. They’re inexpensive, you can put them everywhere, and use them once…hopefully.”

[Joey] On Exfoliating

“We need to get over our hair insecurity – we’re all hairy, just go to Silverlake. I am pro-body hair. Live your life. And when it comes to body care you have to be patient with everything. You can’t be lazy about it. Steam your skin, exfoliate your skin, use a body cleanser with scrub gloves or a loofah. Those really work. Dry brushing also works. Take it a step further by putting on that yummy body lotion, and don’t forget the bottom of your feet to take it up another level.”

“The more confident you are, the more you can take it up a level.”

[Joey] On Tanning / Body Glow

“So I have a tanning bag. Self-tanner is MAJOR because it gives you that vibe without doing anything. I love Miami Gorgeous Tanning Water. It dries very fast and gives you that touch of glow.”

[Joey] On Self Care & Beauty

“We’re all different for a reason. It’s really an internal journey and there’s a lot of healing that needs to happen. Listen, we have to be ourselves. Authenticity is the key to the life of your dreams.” 

[Joey] On A Better Than Bare 5-Minute Face

Molly asks Joey to share with us the perfect undone/done look. “I’ll give you the hook up 5-minute face. You want to look fresh. You want to be touchable and kissable. You want to be hot, but in a way of I wake up like this…even if it’s a lie. People think they’re supposed to walk around like a perfect Instagram filter, but men want real.”

“You start by spot concealing. I love the Kevyn Aucoin Spot Corrector. You want to apply this with a tiny brush and let sit and then dab it in. For mascara, I love the Merit tubing mascara. If you’re going to get freak nasty this mascara is perfect. It doesn’t bleed and make you look like a raccoon. I love the Makeup By Mario – brow blade dirty blonde for brows, and the Fenty Beauty Cheeks Out Cream Blush. I love to layer cream and then go in with a powder blush. And for lips, I love the Pat McGrath Labs Divine Blush + Glow Trio.”
