We’re two days away from the Super Bowl of award season—the Oscars! However, when we see celebrities on the red carpet on Sunday, weeks of prep will have led up to their camera-ready looks. The key to great makeup is great skin—and stars know that it can’t be ignored. “From the moment of nomination, to

Not only does that mean warmer weather and spring flowers, but it also signals the start of spring beauty trends. While we’re looking forward to trying out the season’s best makeup and hair trends, we’re

Your name may not be Taylor Alison Swift, but you’ve gone through some eras, especially when it comes to scents. Let’s recall your personal Fragrance Eras Tour: Your teenage years, puzzling over whether you wanted to smell “clean” or “fresh.” Then the “School Dance Scents” era. Maybe you had a “Sure, I’ll Sample the Perfume

Can I place my foot next to yours?” Keith scooched his chair closer to mine, untied his blue suede Oxford, and slowly moved his socked foot next to mine. I wanted to worry about my dry, old pedicure with a few hairy toes, but my body wouldn’t let me because all I felt was “ahhhhhhhhhh,”

“It’s actually quite stressful to constantly be thinking about the way you look instead of using that time to prepare for an interview,” 26-year-old Sirayah Shiraz from London tells me on the phone before heading to a press conference. Shiraz has worked in sports journalism for over five years but has been in front of

As the pioneer of luxury aesthetic dentistry, it makes sense that Dr. Michael Apa, DDS, is always looking toward the future.

Once upon a TikTok, “the soft life” became a thing. It began with Nigerian influencers like Sisi Yemmie sharing their tips on self-care and nourishment, then blew up to include shopping guides for face oils, think pieces for Black female liberation, and, of course, dating advice. The gist of the #softlife is simple: Reframe the

To say that I’m a skin-care enthusiast is putting it very lightly. As a kid, I remember being enamored with my grandmother’s collection of beauty potions. As I got older, while others my age were throwing their cash at typical teenage fare, I would save all my dollars for fancily packaged cleansers and creams. I’ve

When my mother’s water broke, she didn’t panic, nor did she immediately head to the hospital. Instead, she sat at her vanity and began to carefully apply her Fashion Fair makeup (at the time, one of the few options available to Black women). For my mom, looking her best was not just a sense of

When it comes to plumping your lips to their maximum potential, there are multiple paths you can take.

Or, you could go the non-invasive route, using a needle-free method to

When you’re walking through the aisles of your local The Vitamin Shoppe, what are you looking for? Maybe something that can make your body resilient and your skin look smoother?

The New York Fashion Week fall/winter 2024 circuit left me with a palpable craving for fall. No, I’m not coveting preppy polos and pumpkin chai candles—at least not yet. This time, I’m dreaming of gilded eyelids and hair tattoos. I never thought I’d see the day I’d be hoarding tiny gold leaves and hairspray, but

Set in a makeshift event space in the Tuileries gardens decorated by Indian artist Shakuntala Kulkarni, Dior kicked off Paris Fashion Week on Tuesday with the premiere of its Fall/Winter ‘24/25 Ready to Wear collection.

Growing up as a person of color, discovering beauty products that resonated with me was far from a walk in the park. From finding the right shade in a range to connecting with a brand that actually honored my needs, there was a lot to consider as an Asian beauty consumer. However, in recent years,

Marinated makeup. Blueberry milk nails. Spider lashes. These three beauty trends all have one thing in common—Dua Lipa. The singer, songwriter, and actress helped propel them into the mainstream beauty stratosphere and all over our TikTok feeds. “The marinated makeup look is my every day; I love that. Spider lashes is a good ‘night out’

Milan is bustling for fashion week, but Julia Garner is not phased. The Ozarks actress is wearing her eye patches and enjoying a cup of coffee. Garner enjoys Milan during this time, not only for the fashion, but mainly for the people. She enjoys seeing what she describes as her “Gucci family,” which includes campaign

“Nothing is by chance,” said Lynsey Alexander, Prada Global Creative Director. Choice drives makeup and beauty, and at Prada’s Fall 2024 show, a lot of decisions went into the deceptively simple makeup look. During the brand’s initial tests, a lot of words were thrown out as inspiration: “30s, 40s, 60s, it was late 19th century,

Whether you’re deep into culinary or you’re a hair care obsessive, surely you’ve heard of grapeseed oil. Believe it or not, it’s likely lurking in your skincare collection right now.

Rachel Martino knows how to throw a party. It’s a skill she’s honed as the founder of Dream Loft Studios, an events space and photo studio in Brooklyn that turns two this year. To celebrate the milestone, she’s—of course—throwing a disco-themed fête in the space. “I have a great team to lean on, and we

During a recent meditation session, my deep lower-belly breaths and silent prayers into the dark abyss behind my eyelids were suddenly interrupted by “Eye of the Tiger” lyrics blasting loudly in the back of my mind: “Rising up, back on the streets. Did my time, took my chances…” I welcomed this sonic intrusion on my

Over the past few years, eye shadow has rarely made it onto my face. Because I work from home, I’ve been sticking to makeup basics like concealer and brow gel. But now that I’m venturing out more and more often—setting up shop at cafés, attending work-related events—eye shadow is making a comeback in my rotation.
