Christian Dior Parfums I am a superstitious person. This is thanks in large part to my mom, who raised me with a throw-salt-over-my-shoulder mentality. My friends often make fun of me for telling them to knock on wood—and then following up with “no, really, do it”—when they say something that no one would like to

I have never seen a more beautiful vessel for hand cream in my life. But beyond the exquisite, sculptural, refillable container, the formula within it is also worthy of some fangirling. Powered by retinol, panthenol, and colloidal oatmeal (one of Dr. Liu’s favorite ingredients for soothing sensitive skin), the hand cream works to not only

Fresh off the Guts tour in November, Olivia Rodrigo posted an Instagram video donning her signature combat boots, a bright red lip, and a bold silver eye look. She shouted into a purple megaphone, her signature prop, announcing: “I’m the f****** new face of Lancôme!” Since then, we’ve been eagerly waiting for Rodrigo’s next move.

If you prefer a thinner texture, the Posh Balm is your girl. Although it contains rich ingredients like murumuru seed butter, because it comes in stick form, it’s not going to feel as gloopy as ones that are in a tube. It’s a harder texture, and you have to sort of “break the seal” when

My calendar is currently jam-packed—for instance, this winter, I’m flying to the West Coast for a wedding, and immediately after that I’m jetting off to Paris. Before I travel, I like my skin to be in tip-top shape, so there’s one less thing for me to worry about when I’m on the move. One of

An age-old saying goes, “Show me your friends, and I’ll tell you who you are.” At ELLE.com, however, we’re inclined to believe that your shopping cart reveals far more than your social circle ever could (horoscopes come close, but we’ll leave that to The AstroTwins). Allow us to offer an upgrade: “What you buy speaks

Step aside, strawberry girls, a new “it” food is taking over the beauty world. First, it was glazed donut nails and latte makeup. Then, it was blueberry milk nails. Now, the cherry cola aesthetic has popped up as the latest in a long line of food-themed beauty trends. This one in particular highlights a cozy

There’s something different about how we look these days. Faces used to practically have logos: forehead by Botox, lips by Juvederm, and cheeks by Restylane. Now, you can’t exactly figure out what people are getting done. Is it that new fish thing? Some sort of newfangled facelift? If work is being done, it’s subtle. Sotto

Those dealing with oily skin or acne, come hither—this toner pad is about to save your day. The toner contains BHAs and AHAs that fight excess sebum, blackheads, and breakouts, and it even has allantoin, which helps loosen up dead skin cells and makes them easier to remove. A few uses later, you’re bound to

With this ludicrously capacious bag in your suitcase, you won’t need to lug around multiple tiny pouches of your skin care, makeup, or body care. The middle compartment is large enough to hold full-sized items, or, if you prefer to separate your beauty routines, you can place each pouch, it can also hold multiple smaller

If there was a Museum of Makeup, MAC Spice would sit somewhere between Cleopatra’s eyeliner and Kylie Jenner’s lip kits. MAC Spice is one of the most well-known lip liner shades of all time, and in the ’90s, the color was synonymous with supermodels. Cindy Crawford recently said that the shade was one of her

Zendaya doesn’t miss a beat on the red carpets of Hollywood’s favorite ceremonies. Most times, the question isn’t whether the actress will serve a jaw-dropping look—that’s to be expected—but, rather, will she even show up? For the 2025 Golden Globes, where she was nominated for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture

After 28 years, Isabella Rossellini made her grand return to the Golden Globes last night, celebrating her nomination as Sister Agnes in Conclave. As this was her first Golden Globes appearance since 1997, it was fitting for her to don a show-stopping look. Rossellini wore a spectacular custom ensemble by Dolce and Gabbana. The dress

Welcome to Last Drop, where you can discover the newest and buzziest beauty launches hitting shelves near you. Merit Flush Balm When Merit debuted a blush in the shade Bespoke within its limited-edition holiday blush set, I squealed a little inside.

2024 was the year of the tinted lip balm—it felt like every brand came out with their own version, and we loved them all. As a result, many of us put down our bolder lipsticks and went with my-lips-but-better products that enhanced our own lip colors rather than hide them. Amy Adams, Zoë Saldaña, and

It goes without saying that 2024 was a banner year for Demi Moore. After her mesmerizing role in the horror film The Substance, all eyes have been on the 62-year-old actress. That was also true on the red carpet at the Golden Globes tonight, where Moore opted for classic beauty to complement her custom gold

When it comes to skin care, I live by the phrase, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” I have my skin care routine down to a science—at night, I double cleanse, follow up with retinol, and top everything off with eye cream and moisturizer. In the morning, I opt for vitamin C, moisturizer, and

Now that we’re in the thick of winter, it’s time to substitute summer makeup staples for full-coverage formulas. While trends like warm brown color palettes or smoky eye looks are mainstays in our beauty rotation, lighter hues and glittery accents are quickly emerging as winter staples. If the runways or TikTok are any indication, anticipation

According to Dr. Reider, when shopping for a light therapy lamp, you should “look for a full spectrum visible light source with at least 10,000 lux,” he says. This one from Carex has that and more, including a glare-resistant screen and an adjustable angled stand. The light is powerful enough that you’re able to sit
