At the age of 10, she became involved with gangs in her hometown of Compton. And when she was in her early 20s, while homeless and pregnant, her son Demetrius tragically passed away just days before his third birthday. After his passing, she “became a member of the walking dead,” Raines says. “I couldn’t face myself in the mirror.” She started wearing makeup to mask her pain. “If I drew my eyebrows high enough, nobody could tell I was frowning,” she says. “If my eyes were red from applying eyeliner, no one would know I’d actually been crying.” She suffered for years with anxiety and panic attacks; finally, Raines’s twin sister pulled her aside and told her that her son wouldn’t have wanted her to live like this.

It was the motivation Raines needed to make a change. She was inspired to join a volunteer group with her local church, where she helped put together bags of food for the homeless. While she was handing out food, women would compliment Raines’s makeup. “I’d respond: ‘You want me to do your hair and makeup? Because I can; I’m a ‘hood stylist,’” she laughs. Aside from understanding that beauty practices can provide a confidence boost, Raines also knows the power of caring, gentle touch. “Women on the streets are touched violently and without consent every day,” she says. “Imagine someone saying to them ‘Let me wash your hair.’” Indeed, Beauty 2 The Streetz’s website reads “The lack of a home does not mean a lack of humanity.”

So in 2015, Raines loaded up on the mini mascaras she’d bought with her Sephora Beauty Insider Rewards, along with dollar-store lashes and lash glue, and began travelling to L.A.’s Skid Row weekly to hand them out. Once she’d exhausted all her cash, rewards and free samples, she turned to her social media followers (5,000 at the time) to ask for donations. They delivered — and never stopped. Today, Beauty 2 The Streetz has over six million followers between Instagram and TikTok, and brands like Thrive Causemetics, Unilever, Haus Labs and Fenty Beauty have all donated to the non-profit. In 2021, Raines was named CNN’s Hero of the Year.

“Beauty can be external, but it can also be an internal form of CPR.”

Raines still has her critics, though. She has been called a “clout chaser” for sharing her good deeds online and accused of recording the homeless without their consent. “Everywhere I go, I tell the community what I’m doing,” she clarifies. “If they don’t want to be filmed, they don’t have to be.” Ultimately, she isn’t fazed by detractors. “I know my heart,” she says. Raines also fields constant questions about why the unhoused community needs beauty products at all. “When you take a shower and wash your hair, you feel better,” she says. “There are husbands and wives sleeping in tents together. We provide soap and hair products so they can smell good. They don’t have to look like what they’ve been through.”

Raines sees her former self in the unhoused populations she serves. “They’re asking to see a different version of themselves — I did that, too,” she says. “I know how empowering beauty is. If hair and makeup can get someone to a place where they respect themselves and feel dignified, then let me give them that. Beauty can be external, but it can also be an internal form of CPR.”

How does rosemary oil for hair growth work?

Rosemary oil for hair growth is not a proven fix-all product, but some evidence has found it successful. “Studies show that rosemary oil can help micro-capillary perfusion, meaning it can support blood flow in the tiny capillaries where it’s applied,” explains Geeta Yadav, a board-certified dermatologist and founder of Facet Dermatology in Toronto.

In other words, increasing the blood flow to your hair follicles can support healthier growth.

Rosemary oil also has an antioxidant characteristic that may protect hair from environmental aggressors, such as UV radiation and pollution. “Rosemary oil comes from the Rosmarinus officinalis plant, with potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects,” explains Monica Li, a Vancouver-based double board-certified dermatologist.

These anti-inflammatory components can help to foster a healthy scalp for hair growth (and keep symptoms like itchy scalp at bay).

Who can use rosemary oil?

This ingredient can be used on all hair types, whether your locks are thick or thin; colour-treated or natural. However, if you have sensitive skin, it might cause irritation, Li and Yadav warn.

To avoid a sore scalp, they advise patch testing a small area — like the wrist or behind the ears — before using it on your head. After two to three days of use, you’ll see if your skin tolerates it.

“There is no scientific data on the safety of rosemary oil on those who are pregnant or breastfeeding,” Li adds, noting that these individuals should avoid it.

How to use rosemary oil for hair growth at home

Good news: there are lots of ways to incorporate it into your routine. If you’re looking to avoid adding another step to your regimen, opt for a shampoo that uses the ingredient. And if you buy it in its purest form, be sure to mix it with a carrier oil like coconut, argon or avocado oil before applying.

Yadav suggests using about five drops mixed with at least one teaspoon of carrier oil.

“To get the best results, you should apply it directly to your scalp,” says Yadav. She advises putting it on after a shower and massaging it in for about 10 minutes. This part of the process is crucial because the massage will work to help promote blood circulation. “Regular scalp massage can also widen the hair follicles, which supports thicker hair.”

Rinsing is optional, but Li suggests doing so, as concentrated rosemary oil may irritate the scalp. To ensure you’re not rinsing the hard-working ingredients away, be sure you’ve left it in for at least 10-15 minutes. Most of all, before using any product, defer to the instructions on the packaging—every formula is unique.

How often should you use rosemary oil?

Consistency is key — especially at the beginning. “Ingredients supporting hair growth should be applied daily for best results, ideally twice a day,” says Yadav. “You could stretch it to every other day, especially after you start to see results, but the follicles need support to strengthen.”

Remember — if you don’t see results right away, that’s normal. “It takes at least five to six months of regular use of a rosemary oil-containing hair care product to see its effects,” says Li. “Be patient.”

A post shared by Hero Cosmetics Canada (@herocosmetics_ca)

This week on Instagram, Hero Cosmetics announced that their newest global brand ambassador is none other than TikTok’s resident it-girl, Alix Earle. If you know Earle, then you’ll know that her transparency about acne on the clock app has helped her to amass a colossal following of over six million to date. It’s no surprise, then, that this partnership with Hero Cosmetics (behind the viral Mighty Patch pimple patches) is Earle’s latest beauty and business venture.

“As someone who has openly struggled with acne since middle school, I know how emotionally frustrating and defeating it can feel when you can’t find a product that works,” shares the TikTok star in a press statement. “I’m so proud to work with a brand like Hero that promotes skin positivity and confidence.”

Luckily, we have the solution. Investing in one of the best concealer brushes can prevent the aforementioned scenarios. Below, we’ve rounded up our faves, based on shape, size and composition.

With the right one, you’ll have the confidence to sport a new foundation with your flawless concealer.

What to look for in the best concealer brushes

Remember when certain beauty products would include a brush? Yeah, those days are gone. And so, the hunt for the perfect concealer brush begins. “Usually for concealer, a synthetic bristle brush is best for blending and applying cream products,” says makeup artist Sabrina Rinaldi. “Something that is the size of the tip of your finger is a general guide for [brush] size.”

Before we get into the nitty gritty of concealer brushes, to ensure your concealer stays in place, Rinaldi suggests setting it with a loose powder. The type of concealer brush depends on the look you’re going for.

For a night out, using “a soft fluffy brush lightly [will] set concealer,” says Rinaldi. However, if you’re headed into your 9-5, “a flat stiff synthetic brush helps [concealer] set longer as it presses the powder into the skin.”

That said, for some beauty pros, using their fingers to apply concealer is the way to go. “My preferred method is to use my fingers. I find the heat from the fingers helps blend the product into the skin,” explains Rinaldi. “Using your fourth finger is perfect as it will apply the least amount of pressure.”

The post The Best Concealer Brushes for Every Type of Skin appeared first on FASHION Magazine.

Last year, vanilla perfumes went viral, niche scents were on the rise and old fave fragrances were reimagined. So far this year, perfumers like YSL and Ellis Brooklyn have translated fashion trends to fragrance, bottling up the colours du jour (read: red and peach) and presenting new ways to wear them. Others like Armani and Viktor & Rolf have revamped their signature scents. Suffice it to say, we’ll be spoiled by choice with an influx of new fragrances to shop from as the months roll on.

Follow along as we break down the best new perfumes that’ll define 2024.

Dior New Look

New year, New Look! Inspired by Christian’s Dior iconic New Look silhouette from 1947, this amber-scented, unisex eau de parfum finds the perfect balance between freshness and sensuality. Featuring enigmatic notes of aldehyde and frankincense, this scent redefines what it means to smell like amber.

“True to Christian Dior who wanted his fragrances to be an olfactory mirror of his couture, I strove to retain this perfect symbiosis between fashion and fragrance with incredible daring,” says Francis Kurkdjian, creative director of parfums Dior on the brand’s website. “I wanted to create a fragrance that echoes the spirit, nuances and essence of the New Look today.”

Taking inspiration from this lip look by Marika D’Auteil, a bold neon pout will give you the confidence to finally take yourself out on that solo date you’ve been considering.

If you’re booked for a blind date (exciting!), soft peach glam is the safe bet that reads effortlessly flawless.

If spending the night at home and ordering in with your S.O. is more your vibe, we’ve got you covered. A messy updo of tousled curls like Whitney Peak’s is the low effort look with high payoff to try for an at-home Valentine’s Day date. Add a healthy helping of highlighter and a matte nude lip and you’re all set. Just because you may be staying in doesn’t mean you can’t get a little dolled up!

For a V-day walk or picnic in the park, might we suggest thinking pink? Not only does soft pink glam emit a playful aura well-suited to a daytime date, but its light pigment allows for multi-use on the eyes, cheeks and lips to create a monochromatic look that is both cost and time efficient — because you’ve got a date to get to! Pair the monochromatic Valentine’s Day makeup look with your hair centre-parted and smoothed into a ponytail to let your gorgeous face take centre stage.

Obviously we had our eyes peeled for Ms. Swift, who unsurprisingly showed up in a red lip — which isn’t just her signature lip colour, but also one of the Kansas City Chiefs’ colours. So, obviously. But she had another unexpected beauty trick up her sleeve, too. More on that below.

TayTay’s BFF, Blake Lively, attended the game in big, beautiful, bouncy curls (didn’t we tell you big hair was having a moment?), while Hailey Bieber debuted darker locks that already have a cutesy TikTok name (“chocolate syrup hair“— consider this our petition to bring back the good ol’, reliable word “brown”).

From Taylor Swift to Lady Gaga, these were our favourite celeb beauty looks at the 2024 Super Bowl.

Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift paired her red lipstick with a high ponytail that featured an accent braid along the side, and brow-skimming bangs. This is the singer’s second big appearance this month wearing an accent braid, so we can’t help but wonder: is this some kind of Easter egg, Swifties?

Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga’s makeup artist Sarah Tanno created a beautiful rhinestone look for the star, that was a throwback to Gaga’s 2017 Super Bowl performance look. A makeup slay and a nostalgic moment? Definitely one of our fave celeb Super Bowl beauty moments this year.

Blake Lively and Ice Spice

Lana Del Rey

Donning her signature voluminous retro blowout, thick cat eye liner and matte nude lip in a mirror selfie on her Instagram Story, Lana Del Rey perfectly demonstrated that Super Bowl beauty can still be totally glam..

A post shared by Dyson Hair Pro (@dysonhairpro)

Attention: Dyson’s newest hair innovation has arrived! The Supersonic r™, available exclusively for hair stylists, is a cutting-edge tool is Dyson’s smallest, lightest and most precise launch yet.

The arrival of the ergonomically designed Supersonic r™ seeks to resolve an industry-wide issue observed in a years-long Dyson survey — stylists developing strain-related injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome as a result of styling up to 16 clients a day, constantly adapting the angle of their wrists and arms as they style. Sized down by 30 per cent in size and 20 per cent in weight, this little wonder allows for styles that can dry faster, smoother, and free of frizz without causing heat damage to the client’s hair, or injuries to the stylist themselves.

Equipped with three airflow settings, four heat modes (including a cold shot!), and an assortment of attachments, there’s no style that can’t be pulled off with this dryer.

Nivea’s Luminous630 line is live

Good news, Canada — Nivea’s internationally beloved Luminous360 collection has finally hit Canadian shelves. A game-changer for stubborn dark spots, we promise this one was worth the wait.

Throughout 10 years of research and development, Nivea’s team of experts was able to sift through over 50,000 ingredients in search of the right molecule to help address and prevent the look of dark spots. It was molecule #630 (hence the name) that led to the discovery of the patented Luminous630 ingredient that lives within this skincare collection. The magic of this ingredient lies within its ability to regulate tyrosinase (an enzyme in the skin that causes melanin production), therefore balancing pigmentation and reducing the appearance of dark spots.

Whether you pick up the Advanced Serum, Even Tone Cream or Anti-Dark Circles Eye Cream, prepare to be blown away by the results.

The post Milk Makeup Just Dropped the Coolest Lip and Cheek Tints + More Beauty News appeared first on FASHION Magazine.

Though slicked-back buns have been all the rage for some time, we can’t help but wonder if more va-va-voom volume is on the way. If you look to the gravity-defying styles recently worn by A-listers like Miley Cyrus and Julia Roberts, plus a runway full of Marc Jacobs models, the answer is a powerful “yes.”

A post shared by Bob Recine (@bobrecine)

At this month’s 2024 Grammys, Miley Cyrus took to the stage flaunting a larger-than-life mullet like only she can. The pop diva’s brunette tresses, lightened up by heavy-handed highlights, were back-combed and tousled into a full-of-body hairdo, bringing to mind visions of her godmother and country legend Dolly Parton and her signature peroxide blonde bouffant. It would appear that Parton’s rumoured “the higher the hair, the closer to God” philosophy runs deep in this family, indeed.

Bob Recine, Cyrus’ hairstylist of eight years, cited “a punk, Raquel Welch from the ’70s” as his inspiration for the look in an interview with Byrdie. “We wanted it dry and big through teasing, but not like the old way where it would be coiffed. We wanted it to be a little messy where you could see some of the teasing,” he shared.

On Instagram, Recine broke down the technique and products used to create the Flowers singer’s “sexy bounce” look, crediting the Nexus XXL Volume Hairspray as the product that held the look together through her red carpet walk, a rockstar performance and multiple costume changes

For British Vogue’s February issue, Julia Roberts appeared on the cover with a flawlessly executed blowout that gives body. The Pretty Woman star’s natural ringlets were stretched and shaped into big-barrelled curls full of volume, taking us back to the ’80s when the star caught her first big break in Mystic Pizza (1988).

In the high fashion realm, Marc Jacobs sent models sauntering down his Spring 2024 runway with puffed-up, full-lace human hair wigs sourced by renowned hairstylist Duffy. “The shape is a suggestion of that late ’60s, early ’70s disco moment,” shared the stylist with Coveteur. Pinned to the mood board backstage were images of Diana Ross and fellow members of The Supremes, who, like many other Black women, serve as icons of these era-defining updos.

One flip through a history book and you’ll find illustrations of men and women from the 16th and 17th centuries in particular wearing sky-high wigs as status symbols that could hardly fit through a doorframe today. And even further back, depictions of Ancient Egyptians adorned with wigs that exuded major volume. More recently in the 20th century, styles like the beehive and the bouffant of the ’60s and ’70s also favoured volume.

During the 1960s, the rise of big hair emerged from years of pared-back wartime styles, alongside the invention of the roller and lacquer spray. In the following decade, the 1970s saw freedom of expression via hair — partly thanks to the women’s rights movement — which led to styles that grew exponentially in size, from blowouts to afros.

A post shared by Donna Summer (@officialdonnasummer)

No matter the decade, celebrities have proved time after time that big hair can be interpreted in myriad ways. Just look to Jane Fonda as Barbarella, Priscilla Presley, Donna Summer or Tina Turner for vintage variations of the style. Stars like SZA and Solange serve as present-day big-haired icons with their unapologetically voluminous cascades of curls, with Cyrus and Roberts joining the “bigger is better” ranks.

As for how we non-celebs can tackle the trend, many of us were born with naturally “big” hair that takes up space and volume all on our own, and we can carry on flaunting it business as usual (if we so choose to), and call on the aid of hot tools and hair spray when we really want to pump up the volume.

Though it’s making a comeback now, having big hair hasn’t always been viewed as trendy or desirable, and it’s a delight to witness the “big hair, don’t care” attitude catch on en masse once again. Fortunately, TikTok is also brimming with tutorials on how to achieve huge hair no matter your natural texture, including videos directly inspired by the hair seen on the Marc Jacobs runway.

So, what does the return of big hair mean in 2024? Is this just the cyclical nature of trends? Or is there something more to it? Much like the revival of messy mob wife makeup in place of the “clean girl” look, perhaps the renaissance of the bouffant marks a rebellion against slicked-backed styles and more polished manes. On the other hand, it could be as simple as a mass suffering from, dare we say, flat hair fatigue — and a yearning to be more out there with our hair choices.

With Julia, Miley and Marc Jacobs leading the way, we’ll all be onto bigger and better (hair) in no time.

Finding a foundation that doesn’t emphasize flakiness or texture can be tricky. After all, walking around with a patchy layer of makeup is not cute. Prevent that ever-annoying scenario by knowing which foundation to use. We’ve found the best foundation for dry skin, evaluating each one on ingredients, finish and shade range.

With the right fit, you’ll have the courage to sport your beautiful base with an easy-to-follow eyeshadow tutorial.

What to look for in the best foundation for dry skin

Before you put any makeup for dry skin on your pretty little face, it’s important to take steps to ensure you find the right one for your skin. “Customers with dry skin should be shopping for foundations that contain humectants,” explains Stacey Heintzman, owner of Gingery Esthetic in Sola Salons.

“These ingredients help draw more moisture to the skin, so it maintains hydration. Look for are hyaluronic acid and aloe vera.”

When applying foundation, avoid formulas that settle into fine lines. “If your skin isn’t properly hydrated before application and you’ve picked the wrong foundation, it will look flakey and give the effect of looking older,” says Heintzman.

“When you moisturize before your makeup application, you’re plumping the skin with emollients and ceramides to smooth out the skin for a perfect makeup application.”

For best results, Heintzman suggests a solid skincare routine before applying foundation. “Hydrate your skin and allow the products to penetrate before makeup application and when applying your liquid-based foundations use a wet beauty sponge, this helps your skin to look dewy.”

An SPF-loaded moisturizer makes your skincare and self-tanner apply more smoothly and makes for one less product to lug around in your fave toiletry bag. Allow us to introduce you to the Bioré UV Aqua Rich Moisturizer, an international fave for which we’re making space on our skincare shelf.

What is Bioré UV Aqua Rich?

It’s a sunscreen, it’s a moisturizer and it’s invisible! The Bioré UV Aqua Rich SPF 50 Moisturizing Sunscreen is designed to help protect your face from UV rays and moisturize, without clogging pores or feeling heavy.

Infused with hydrating hyaluronic acid — a skincare hero ingredient known to moisturize — and the brand’s micro-defense technology that forms an invisible waterproof shield against UV damage, the hybrid skincare product absorbs in an instant and disappears into all skin tones, leaving no white cast.

Expertly formulated to deliver sheer, breathable protection, this dermatologist-tested sunscreen is oil-free and formulated for sensitive skin. And truly, we’ve yet to see or hear of a breakout from this goes-on-clear formula.

The product is developed from Bioré Japan’s water-based sunscreens, which are known for their fresh textures and invisible clean protection. It’s no surprise the product has gained a cult-like following, quickly becoming a bestseller in Asia — now, the brand finally brought it to North America!

Features we love:

• Formulated for sensitive skin
• SPF 50 sun protection
• Leaves no white cast or greasy feeling
• Innovative technology
• Works well under makeup
• Travel-friendly and carry-on approved by TSA
• No-fuss packaging
• Oil-free and won’t clog pores
• Affordable price point
• Doubles as a makeup primer when you’re in a pinch
• Dermatologist-tested
• Vegan and cruelty-free formula

How to use Bioré UV Aqua Rich

Whether you suffer from dry skin or are working to combat oiliness, the Bioré UV Aqua Rich is a must-have for beauty lovers.

The SPF 50 moisturizer-sunscreen is lightweight, applies easily and absorbs instantly to hydrate and protect your skin from pesky UV rays — leaving no trace of a white cast.

Thanks to its smooth, lightweight texture and non-greasy feeling, this product is perfect for layering under makeup, without pilling or streaking. Does it get any better? It does — with easy-to-use packaging, plus eight hours of obvious moisture, the innovative hybrid product has received countless rave reviews online, and we get it.

Our commerce director, Bryce Gruber, notes how smooth and velvety it is to apply. “I put about two to three good-sized drops on my entire face and neck after my regular moisturizer each morning. It’s so perfectly smooth that it allows me to skip makeup primers most days. I love it — especially because it never clogs my pores.”

The best Biore Aqua Rich reviews

“I have oily skin and this moisturizer is so good. Light enough to not leave me greasy but moisturizing enough to leave me hydrated,” explains verified Amazon purchaser and five-star reviewer, Ani. “On days when I feel dryer, I’ll add two drops of face oil and my skin feels so good. [It] wears well under makeup too.”

“This is the most amazing moisturizer I’ve ever used — it feels like splashing water on my face. And I am super picky about moisturizers. Most [moisturizers] feel heavy and suffocating, not this one,” notes Z, a verified Amazon purchaser who is obsessed with the product.

“This one stands up to its ‘weightless’ name! Plus the SPF is a must-have for me. Well done, Bioré Aqua Rich. If you’re uncertain whether to purchase, buy it — you’ll be glad you did.”

“It feels like [a] serum when it’s applied on your skin,” says Miz. L, a verified purchaser on Amazon. “It has great protection and your skin stays moisturized but not greasy at all. I will definitely reorder again.”

“Picture kilometers of orange tree fields,” says perfumer Delphine Jelk over a video call. “The sky is blue, the sun is shining, and there’s a freshness in the air.” Jelk is describing the inspiration behind her latest creation, Guerlain’s Neroli Plein Sud. “One second, let me get something.” She reemerges on-screen with a travel diary from her time in Morocco. The notebook is filled with dried plants, sketches, and fabric swatches that inspired the luxe new fragrance. “I went to fashion design school before getting into perfumery, so I design fragrances exactly like I’d design clothes, starting with mood boards filled with colors, words, and pictures.

Néroli Plein Sud is born out of a collaboration with Antone de Saint Exupéry Youth Foundation, in honour of the beloved author of The Little Prince and Southern Mail (the latter which directly inspired the fragrance). To bring the latest addition to Guerlain’s L’Art & La Matière collection to life, Jelk combined neroli—an essential oil produced from the blossom of an orange tree–with turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon. At once crisp, spicy, and warm, she describes the scent as a “fresh breeze blowing over the hot sand of the Sahara [desert].”

This sweetheart season we’ve got our eye on a couple of loved-up nail looks that merge manicure trends of the moment with classic Valentine’s Day nail colours of flirty pink, romantic red, and soft lavender shades. Swoon!

From velvet-textured and heart-shaped nail designs to flashy chrome tips, we present five Valentine’s Day manicures you’re bound to fall head over heels for. Plus, the products you’ll need to recreate them at home.

Try a pink velvet manicure

A post shared by Aistė Haas (@heygreatnails)

Velvet nails ooze luxury, and once you catch a glimpse of their shimmering allure, it’s hard to look away. This heart-shaped, candy-pink manicure puts a Valentine’s Day spin on the velvet texture trend that is 100 percent worth recreating ahead of the big day on February 14th.

The trick that makes these multi-dimensional nails so attractive (literally!) is using a magnet over magnetic nail polish to create that textured illusion. Taking the look one step further, nail artist Aiste Haas uses a twisted paperclip attached to a magnet to create heart shapes on the sides of each nail. Ooh la la!

OPI’s “La Paz-itively Hot” polish is bursting with microscopic flecks of glitter that’ll channel velvet vibes without the need for a magnet. What’s more, this Long-Wear Lacquer allows for up to 11 days of gel-like wear with a high gloss finish.

Crunched for time? Play with press-ons! These velvet-textured, sugar pink-shaded nails by Kiss in the “West Coast” design are exactly what this look calls for.

Wear heart-shaped French tips

A post shared by Lake county nail tech 🤍 (@nailzbydaisies)

Why wear your heart on your sleeve this V-Day when you can wear them on your fingertips? We adore the way this ombré manicure reimagines French tips and stays true to the lovey-dovey colour codes of the season.

Taking your French tip up three-quarters of the nail, create two rounded half-circle shapes at the top of your design to form the “heart” shape. For the ombré effect, opt for a different polish on each nail that ranges from lightest to darkest within the same colour family. If you can’t decide between wearing soft pink, flirty fuchsia or deep magenta polish, why not wear them all at once?

For the lightest shade in this nail look, seek out a pastel shade of pink. With its subtle yet sweet appeal, Sally Hansen’s “Tickled Pink” polish will surely do the trick.

For your darkest polish, try Essie’s “Bahama Mama.” Somewhere between purple and magenta, this glossy shade will make the perfect finishing touch on your pinky nail.

Paint a red jelly set

A post shared by Alison • nailsbyalsn (@nailsbyalsn)

You can always rely on a romantic red manicure to set the Valentine’s Day mood — but this year, it may be time to try a new way to wear this on-trend colour. Our suggestion? A jelly-textured set of rouge tips.

You can shop an already-made jelly-textured polish if you like, or you can get experimental by mixing a standard red polish and a clear top coat — which are great products to keep in your nail polish stash for other looks, too — to make a DIY jelly concoction. All you’ll need to do is mix a drop of your top coat in with a few drops of your red polish, and there you have it!

A highly pigmented, eye-catching shade of rouge is essential for a DIY red jelly polish. Essie Expressie’s “Seize the Minute” is just what you’ll need. And it’s as easy on the wallet as it is on the eyes.

To give your red polish more of a translucent finish, reach for a clear-coloured top coat like this one by OPI. It’ll also help lock in your lacquer with a protective coating so it won’t chip.

Opt for micro hearts

A post shared by Syd • nailsbysmf (@nailsbysmf)

Cliché as they may be, hearts will forever be on trend come Valetine’s Day. This year, try a manicure that features micro-sized hearts around the perimeter of your nails for a dainty look.

With their scaled-down size and scattered placement, these mini hearts remind us of handwritten love notes speckled with cutesy doodles you may have once drawn for a crush (or hoped to receive).  Adoreable!

Pick up this sheet of mini nail stickers to avoid the hassle of hand drawing your micro hearts yourself. Love notes, roses, pink hearts, red hearts, it’s all here.

Do lavender chrome

A post shared by Vivian Marie (@vivianmariewong)

Pinks and reds make up classic Valentine’s Day colour palettes — but purple is not to be overlooked! Case in point: the shimmery lavender manicure above.

Though we’ve just entered 2024, the chrome craze seems to be showing no signs of slowing down just yet. When paired with a pastel purple polish, this trendy lacquer topper gives off an iridescent hue that’ll have your V-Day date totally mesmerized.

Eliminating the need to purchase a lavender polish and a chrome powder separately, this “Violet Voltage” polish by Essence is a two-in-one steal. Plus, it’s under five dollars!

The post Valentine’s Day Nail Art You’ll Fall in Love With appeared first on FASHION Magazine.

Come date night, the colour of your nails can say a lot about how you feel without the need for words. Flirtatious feelings are ripe for pink. A playful mood calls for purple, while sexy vibes mean classic red. Think of painting your nails as a fun way to drop subtle hints for your date this Valentine’s Day.

Valentine’s Day nail colour trends to try in 2024

You can truly never go wrong with sugary pink shades, romantic reds, and even pastel purples for V-Day manicures. That said, opting for unorthodox shades of these traditional Valentine’s Day colours — say, a vibrant magenta in place of a pastel pink, or a deep burgundy instead of a true red — allows for a little more experimentation, while still being on theme.

Consider shape and length as well. Almond nails are the style of the moment, but stiletto and coffin-shaped nails have a sexier edge that may feel better suited to this time of year.

Glossy is always gorgeous, but we’d be remiss not to mention the chrome craze still going on since Hailey Bieber popularized the trend in 2022. More recently, jelly nails with translucent finishes and a sheer coat of colour are a coveted look. Lest we forget glitter, which is always a good idea for special occasions like Valentine’s Day.

Update: After living a bare skin life for months, Pamela Anderson has acquired vegan skincare brand, Sonsie. Along with her sons Brandon and Dylan, the former FASHION cover star is now the proud owner of the cruelty-free line that was first founded in June by influencer Marie von Behrens-Felip. “Pamela has a deep passion for inner-wellbeing, a unique perspective on beauty, and is one of the earliest advocates for vegan & cruelty free formulations around the world,” shared the brand in an Instagram post announcing the news. We love this journey for Pam!

Forget the beauty and style trends forecasted for the 2024 year at Paris Fashion Week — FASHION’s October 2023 cover star Pamela Anderson is making headlines for going fresh-faced and makeup-free at the season’s biggest runway shows.

“I didn’t come to Paris Fashion Week and think, ‘Oh I’m not going to wear any makeup!'” shared Anderson in a Vogue France get-ready-with-me video ahead of the Vivienne Westwood Spring 2024 show where she used a base of DIY rose oil in place of foundation. “I don’t know, something just kind of came over me and I was dressing in these beautiful clothes and I thought, ‘I don’t want to compete with the clothes,” she told the publication. “I’m not trying to be the prettiest girl in the room.’ I feel like it’s just freedom. It’s like a relief.”

A newfound sense of self-assurance is something Pamela Anderson discussed in her October 2023 interview with FASHION. “For me, this is a period to get to know who I am,” she told fashion news director Annika Lautens. “It’s a powerful time, and I feel really good in my own skin.”

The empowerment of feeling comfortable in her own skin no doubt translated to her time on set; the Canadian icon was photographed for FASHION’s pages wearing subtle makeup, allowing her natural beauty to shine.

Paris Fashion Week — the last of the big four weeks, following New York City, London, and Milan—is considered to be the crème de la crème of fashion month. It churns out the grandest displays of opulence. The street style is impeccable. The glam is top-notch, and it’s the perfect excuse to indulge in over-the-top makeup and hairstyles.

For Anderson, it instead ended up serving as the ultimate stage to make a major no-makeup statement as she embarked on what she described on Instagram as “an adventure in Paris with fresh eyes.” From The Row to Isabel Marant and Victoria Beckham, the Canadian queen was a radiant beauty as she took on the City of Lights in a public display of makeup-free self-love, miles from her signature ’90s glam.

Since the release of the Pam & Tommy mini-series in 2022 and Anderson’s own tell-all Pamela, A Love Story documentary on Netflix earlier this year, we’ve been living in the era of the “Pam-aissance.” Having Anderson back on our screens has inspired a wave of kohl-rimmed eyes adorned with smokey eyeshadow and pencil-thin brows. And the beauty community is still longing to perfect that nude-lipped Pamela pout.

When asked about vintage Pam beauty looks going viral on TikTok, Anderson told FASHION: “I think it’s funny,” revealing that her sons, Brandon Thomas and Dylan Jagger Lee, first brought the trend to her attention. “When you start hearing that your image is on different mood boards, it’s pretty surreal. But it also shows that I marched to the beat of my own drum.”

The aforementioned nude lipstick look was a signature Anderson beauty look that emerged during the ’90s under the creative guidance and mastery of the late Alexis Vogel, her go-to makeup artist at the time.

Vogel, who passed away from breast cancer in 2019, both birthed Anderson’s iconic glam and is now part of the reason that the actress began to embrace going makeup-free. “She was the best. And since then, I just felt, without Alexis, it’s just been better for me not to wear makeup,” Anderson told Elle in an interview this summer.

A post shared by Jamie Lee Curtis (@jamieleecurtis)

Actress Jamie Lee Curtis took to Instagram to share her support for Anderson and praise her new look, which she described as an act of courage and rebellion. “The natural beauty revolution has officially begun!” she writes in the caption of her post. “@Pamelaanderson in the middle of fashion week with so many pressures and postures […] and this woman showed up and claimed her seat at the table with nothing on her face.”

Challenging Curtis’ caption, the top-liked comment of the post reads, “I think that rather than applauding women wearing no makeup, we should be applauding that she seems to have found her comfort zone and seems to be embracing what that is for her age.”

Like other celebrities, like Alicia Keys who decided to ditch makeup altogether in 2016 and Kim Kardashian who attended Balenciaga’s Spring 2017 show bare-faced during Paris Fashion Week that same year, Anderson’s makeup-free outings have contributed to a movement with a more mature perspective that brings the beauty industry’s fixation on youth into the conversation. “I like to say the word ‘life-ing’ instead of ‘age-ing’. Chasing youth is just futile,” she told i-D outside of the Victoria Beckham Spring 2024 show.

In today’s digital age, we also have to consider the no-makeup movement that has long existed on Instagram via the make-up-free selfie. As recently as last month, Selena Gomez shared a bare-faced snap with her 430 million followers. A makeup-free selfie also holds the power to make a bold beauty statement, especially when it comes from celebrities we’re used to seeing all dolled up. Not to mention the ongoing battle against faceless hate comments that may come along with it.

To quote Anderson from her Vogue France segment: “You kind of have to challenge beauty sometimes, you know. If we all chase youth or we’re chasing our idea of what beauty is in fashion magazines and everything, we’re only going to be disappointed or maybe a little bit sad. So, I feel like this is it.”

Watch below for more on why Anderson’s makeup-free moments at Paris Fashion Week were so powerful.

With just a few drops, hair oil has the power to transform even the thirstiest tresses. And don’t worry if the words “hair” and “oil” in the same sentence cause a little trepidation; we’re sharing why everyone needs a good hair oil on their bathroom shelf, regardless of hair type.

What to look for in the best hair oil

Like most hair products, finding the right hair oil for you is an entirely personal process that depends on your goal. This ranges based on your hair type. The one thing we can agree on across the board? The use of a hair oil is a surefire way to elevate the average hair routine — but don’t just take our word for it.

“With over two decades of experience as a hairstylist, I have personally witnessed how consistently using a high-quality hair oil can drastically improve your hair’s health,” says Toronto salon owner and founder of haircare brand THIC, Morgan Tully. “It prevents breakage caused by heat styling, harsh chemical processes and environmental factors which often lead to issues like dryness, frizz and breakage.”

Tully reminds us that a “one size fits all” approach does not apply to choosing hair oils. To begin your quest for the right hair oil, she suggests narrowing down what you’d like your oil to do for your hair. For example, if you’re seeking an oil that specifically boosts moisture and shine, that may differ from an oil with featured heat-protectant qualities.

Start small if you’ve been steering clear of hair oils for fear of making your hair look greasy or weighed down.

“Take a few drops and massage through the mid to ends of your hair first. If it makes a noticeable difference right away but doesn’t feel heavy, add a few more drops and work your way up.”

Tully’s final pro tip? Always test new products on wash day! (Before you suds up, of course.) That way, if you’re not loving the results, you can restart your routine with a head of freshly washed hair. And if you’re fighting an oily scalp on a non-wash day, there’s nothing a little dry shampoo can’t fix, she assures.

How we chose the best hair oils

We looked at a variety of factors when choosing the best hair oil options for every type of hair. We considered ingredients (and their ability to nourish hair without harming or weighing it down), overall value and ease of use. Availability was also important for us, because finding a great hair oil is only as good as your ability to access it.

Evaluation criteria

We sought out hair oils with active antioxidants, easy-to-use pump dispensers or droppers and velvety formulas. We excluded anything that felt too heavy, sticky or cumbersome. If the oil had us running for a shower, it didn’t make the list.

Our preference went to lightweight formulas that nourished strands without clogging follicles or leaving a greasy texture behind.

Though typical pulse points for body sprays and perfumes include the wrists, neck and even behind the knees, who doesn’t want hair that also smells delicious?

A post shared by PHLUR (@phlur)

As many of us can likely recall from memory (you never forget the scent of Victoria’s Secret or Bath and Body Works body mists), body sprays were everything in the late ’90s and early aughts. Much like other Y2K trends having a resurgence (lookin’ at you, indie sleaze), we’re thrilled to report that these lightweight sprays are making a comeback, and hair mists are coming along with them.

With a lower concentration of fragrance oils than perfume, body mists are light enough to layer, so they can be used to create unique-to-you scent concoctions. And they’re more affordable, which allows consumers to purchase more scents to play with. Modern hair mist perfumes often double as body sprays, and they’re beloved for many of the same reasons. What’s more, they’ve got the added benefit of ingredients that treat hair concerns, like dryness and dullness, with each spray.

Even if we have to squeeze our way through a sea of “10-year-olds at Sephora” looking for the Sol de Janeiro shelf, many of us are craving a nostalgic hit (er, spritz) of fragranced body and hair mists. Ahead, six of the best-smelling hair mist perfumes and where to buy them. Good luck out there.

Rare Beauty Find Comfort Body and Hair Fragrance Mist

With revitalizing notes of lemon zest, violet and vetiver, this newly launched hair mist from Rare Beauty’s Find Comfort collection is like a pick-me-up in a bottle.

Though it can also be used as a body mist, the reparative niacinamide and biotin ingredients within its formula target hair strands, to keep your tresses looking softer, shinier, and stronger.

Byredo Gypsy Water

If you already love Byredo and its selection of signature scents, why not match your favourite fragrance with a hair perfume? Our pick goes to the pine needle, sandalwood and amber-scented Gypsy Water spray.

Thanks to a uniquely developed silicone and polymer concoction, this hair perfume will nourish your mane and leave behind a luminous sheen. Who wouldn’t want to wear head-to-toe Byredo?

Phlur Vanilla Skin

Judging by the influx of vanilla fragrances that have been released as of late, it appears the beauty community can’t get enough of this classic and creamy scent. In the category of hair mist perfume, we’ve been eyeing Vanilla Skin by Phlur.

Noted with sugar crystals, cashmere wood and, of course, vanilla, this hair and body mist is a gourmand fragrance lover’s fantasy.

Moroccanoil Brumes du Maroc

Moroccanoil’s Brumes du Maroc fuses the best of the brand’s iconic haircare ingredients with its signature spicy amber scent to deliver a must-have hair and body fragrance mist. A nourishing blend of argan oil and vitamin E keeps both the skin and hair moisturized and hydrated.

Plus, the UV absorber within the mist protects hair against damage caused by sun exposure.

Rumoured to have once been Rihanna’s signature scent, Kilian Paris’ Love, Don’t Be Shy perfume is also available as a hair mist. Featuring the same unmistakable orange blossom and marshmallow sugar accord notes as the OG perfume, this hydrating hair mist is simply irresistible.

In all honesty, a stamp of approval from RiRi is all the convincing we need to shop this scent.

The post The Allure of Hair Mist Perfumes and Where to Shop Them appeared first on FASHION Magazine.

Back in 2018, I actually wrote a story for FASHION about the cultural obsession surrounding sleep — or more precisely, getting the most and best sleep possible. I didn’t get it. “Like a child passionately avoiding nap time,” I wrote (side note: this is suddenly a triggering analogy because I now have my own toddler and the thought of a skipped nap is bone-chilling), “I will happily be awakened any time, anyplace […] I welcome any interruptions from the — pardon the pun — snoozefest that is slumber.”

I know what you’re thinking: Now that I’m a parent, don’t I feel sooo silly for once implying that sleep was boring? Nope. As it turns out, I’m less interested in sleep than ever before. Instead, I’ve become utterly obsessed with milking every second of free time I get. Between working full-time (and then some), walking the dog, daycare pickup and the absolute chaos that is weeknight evenings with a toddler (IYKYK), when everyone’s finally fed and asleep, the last thing I want to do is call the day quits. Not when there are hours of TikTok to finally be consumed, reality TV to be binged, creepy domestic thrillers to be read, late-night existential crises to be had, and so on and so forth.

So as you can imagine, my lengthy evening to-do list doesn’t leave me with a ton of time for a comprehensive beauty routine. But I do want to disguise the fact that I’m a sleep-indifferent monster, which means that over the years, I’ve found the quickest, most effective beauty products that work while you sleep, so I don’t have to spend my precious evenings primping and priming.

Without further ado, you can shop my picks for the absolute best beauty products that work while you sleep, so you can get back to your own pressing evening activities, whatever they may be. See ya on the dark side!

The post 10 Overnight Beauty Products That Work While You Sleep appeared first on FASHION Magazine.

After dropping hints on Instagram earlier this week, Revlon has finally announced the name of its newest Revlon global brand ambassador: Madelyn Cline. You know the 26-year-old actress from her roles as Sarah Cameron on Netflix’s Outer Banks series, and Whiskey in the 2022 Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery film.

Fans go gaga over her beauty routine videos on YouTube, courtesy of publications like Vogue and Allure, perhaps hoping to learn *exactly* how she achieves her signature pout — and now we can’t wait to watch her play with even more makeup in this new role.

“Makeup is a tool I use to feel more creative and confident, whether I’m on set, the red carpet, and just every day — and with this partnership, I’m thrilled to be able to inspire other women to live boldly and feel empowered,” shares Cline in a press statement. As the newest face of the brand, she joins the likes of fellow Revlon ambassadors Ashley Graham and Megan Thee Stallion. Dream team!

What’s more, the wand of this mascara features a two-sided silicon brush designed to elongate lashes from root to tip and keep them lifted for up to 12 hours. On one side of the brush, curved, short bristles add texture, while the longer bristles on the other side help to curl.

Dermalogica unveils a collagen-preserving serum

As we age, the level of collagen (the protein responsible for skin elasticity and support) production in our skin naturally decreases, and external factors like pollution and sun exposure can also contribute to collagen degradation. Fortunately for us, Dermalogica’s latest skincare innovation, the Pro-Collagen Banking Serum, is here to save the day.

Fuelled by amino acids, which are known as the building blocks of protein, this lightweight serum visibly plumps up the skin while keeping it protected. In addition, it encourages collagen production and helps preserve this powerful protein in our skin at the same time.

The post Madelyn Cline Is the New Face of Revlon + More Beauty News appeared first on FASHION Magazine.

Succinctly put by FASHION’s Natalie Michie, the mob wife aesthetic is “everything 2023 minimalism is not.” Sartorially, it’s defined by floor-length faux furs, bold animal prints, and oversized sunglasses that cover most of the face — because a mafia wife never knows who’s watching. Naturally, there’s an equally extra makeup look to match. And given the rise of trends like “indie sleaze,” it’s actually not that surprising.

The very antithesis of the fresh-faced, “clean girl” look that dominated 2023, characterized by Hailey Bieber-esque glossy lips, a rosy flush and slicked-back buns, grunge-inspired makeup looks are poised to overthrow minimalist makeup trends in 2024. With a mutual appreciation for excessive strokes of eyeliner and hair with body, both the mob wife and indie sleaze aesthetics are decidedly darker, with an admirable air of carelessness that mainstream beauty hasn’t embraced in a while.

Let’s examine the women of The Sopranos — who are the quintessential mafia wife models — for telltale signs of the mob wife beauty aesthetic. French manicures à la Carmela Soprano (Edie Falco) with tips so long they click and clack with every gesture. Brown-lined lips, sultry smoked-out eyes and overly coiffed hair in the style of Adriana La Cerva (Drea de Matteo). There’s a certain sense of, “don’t f**ck with me, or I’ll call my husband,” about it all.

These women would roll their eyes at the mere thought of stepping out sans eyeliner, or a wash of grey eyeshadow, at the very least. They’re probably convinced that the first drag of a cigarette feels better if they’ve got a “lip” (likely a moody mauve or a deep rouge) on. They’re always put together and wouldn’t be caught dead with limp hair that lacked volume, but they don’t take themselves as seriously as a clean girl makeup devotee might.

A post shared by Sharon Stone (@sharonstone)

Elsewhere in the cinematic universe of mob wives, you can draw inspiration from Casino’s Ginger McKenna (Sharon Stone) and her full-on lashes, Elvira Hancock’s (Michelle Pfeiffer) ultra-thin brows in Scarface, or Karen Hill’s (Lorraine Bracco) always-big brunette bouffant in Goodfellas. Modern “mob wives” may modernize the trend with almond-shaped French tips, hair curled with high-tech Dyson machines, or of-the-moment makeup like winged liner, but the overarching “IDGAF” attitude persists.

A post shared by Indie Sleaze (@indiesleaze)

Also on the grunge-glam spectrum lies the indie sleaze aesthetic. In 2021, TikTok’s resident trend forecaster, Mandy Lee, predicted the return of this trend, noting that some of the key characteristics of the era (which ran roughly from the early 2000s to early 2010s) were  “provocative advertisements,” “amateur style flash photography,” and “opulent displays of clubbing.” No TikTok, just Tumblr.

The @indiesleaze Instagram account (above) brilliantly sums up the era with photos of real-life club goers — including icons of the day like Katy Perry and Ke$ha — as well as snapshots from raunchy American Apparel ads and stills of Brittany Murphy in Spun. “Documenting the decadence of the mid-late aughts and the indie sleaze party scene that died in 2021,” reads the account’s Instagram bio.

A post shared by Gabbriette B (@gabbriette)

As for makeup, indie sleaze glam is characterized by deliberately dishevelled hair, traces of glitter here and there, and smudgy kohl-rimmed eyes. Appearance-wise, these would be your Gabbriettes. Your Effy Stonems from Skins. Your Venetia Cattons from Saltburn. A party animal meets rockstar groupie, if you will.

And while we’re on the subject of Saltburn, we may have the 2023 film to thank for speeding up the revival of this mid-aughts aesthetic. Throughout the movie, Venetia remains in a perpetual state of day-after glam, which is precisely what the indie sleaze aesthetic calls for. Her undone, dark roots peak through a head full of bottle-blonde hair, and her blackest black liner appears well lived in.

In real life, falling asleep with your makeup on or failing to execute a flawless smokey eye can indeed result in peak indie sleaze glam. The more carelessly your makeup is applied, the better.

A post shared by Saltburn (@saltburnfilm)

While the mob wife and indie sleaze looks are distinct aesthetics, they are united in their departure from the sleek, minimalist makeup that has dominated in recent year. Between them, there’s a shared admiration for almost deliberate messiness that’s frankly refreshing after years of pursuing perfection (read: clean girl glam and quiet luxury). A person can only take so much barely-there makeup before they reach for ultra-black pencil liners and overdo their glam in a fit of rebellious rage.

Though minimalist makeup gives the illusion of being low-effort, slicked-back buns and glassy skin require far more maintenance than you may assume. Sometimes, it’s easier to embrace chaos and lean into a little grunge. Don’t let mean mugged scowls from mobsters and their wives fool you, you might even have fun. (Just don’t sleep in your makeup.)

Luckily, you can prevent that ever-annoying scenario if you know which foundation to use. We’ve found the best foundation for oily skin, based on ingredients, finish and shade range. With the right fit, you’ll have the confidence to sport the best black lipstick with your flawless base!

What to look for in the best foundation for oily skin

Before you put any foundation on your pretty little face, it’s important to take steps to ensure you don’t end up looking greasy. “Understanding your skin is the first step to choosing the right foundation shade,” explains Gisaura Laporte, owner of Hair and Makeup By Gisaura in Sola Salons.

“If you have oily skin, use a powder foundation or an oil-free liquid one. These contain powders that absorb oil, leaving a smooth, matte finish. Mineral foundations work well on oily skin because the dry particles absorb moisture, preventing shine.”

Laporte takes extra steps when applying foundation for people with oily skin. “Use a matte primer before the foundation,” she says. “This creates a layer that keeps the oil from breaking through.”

In the end, a solid skincare routine does wonders for makeup application. “If you have oily skin, following a daily skincare routine is the best way to reduce breakouts and control shine. Cleansing, toning and moisturizing both morning and night are key ingredients to your daily skincare routine.”

Summer brought us saccharine-shaded pastel polishes, fall channelled vampy vibes, and winter is simply playing it cool. The trendiest colours of the season both embrace the icy mood of the moment and go against the grain with dashes of vibrant colour (hint: red is going nowhere).

Ahead, we round up seven of the coolest colours to wear on your winter nails, plus where to shop nail polishes to get the look.

Go for gold

If you’re more of a gold gal than silver, opt for an aureate-hued manicure to help warm up the winter months. Just as chrome was on trend all 2023 long, we suspect gold nails may be on the rise in 2024.

Any polish that can match all your jewellery, whether it be gold or silver, is a total plus. We’re not afraid of mixing metals around here, and you shouldn’t be either! Who can resist the pull of glittery, golden fingertips?

Is there anything more chic than saying, “It’s ‘Phénix’ by Chanel,” when onlookers ask what sparkling gold polish you’re wearing on your nails? Doubt it.

Brrr! It’s cold in here. Or is it just these frosted blue fingertips? For the long winter ahead, we encourage you to take the ice-blue plunge and sport a set of wintry azure nails.

Not to be confused with summer’s blueberry milk nails, this glacial hue is a little darker in shade and not quite as vibrant. Think winter blues, but the good kind.

Gucci’s “Lucy Baby Blue” nail polish is positively cool and ultra-glossy. With a single swipe, you’ll already be impressed by this polish’s colour payoff and ability to smooth out imperfections and ridges on your nails.

If you can’t escape the winter chill, embrace it by painting your nails a chic shade of grey. With its icy, edgy undertone, wintertime calls for subdued shades like this one.

Though it may seem dull or drab to some, the possibilities for grey-hued polishes alone are endless. Your grey can read anywhere from a near-blue hue to a warmer-toned “greige” — each shade is more elevated than the last.

Give in to grey, why don’t you? Start by shopping a neutral shade like this one from OPI called “Dawn of a New Grey.” Formulated with 75 per cent naturally derived ingredients, you can feel good about flaunting this polish.

Velvety, sugar plum shades of polish are the perfect way to mimic the moody atmosphere of winter without going all the way to the dark side. Consider these deep-hued berry tones winter’s more sophisticated answer to the blueberry milk nails that dominated nail trends this summer.

Perhaps they’re our sign that food-inspired beauty trends (hello, latte makeup and glazed donut nails!) will continue to live on in the new year.

Hermès’ 24-shade collection of nail enamels boasts a luxurious array of rich-toned and long-wearing nail lacquers. This “89 Violet Byzantine” polish was practically made for winter wear.

Reflect the glow of the snow sure to come this winter with a set of soft nails. Much like the neutral clothing hanging in our closets, a neutral manicure can easily be dressed up or toned down.

A solid neutral polish makes an immaculate base for ornamental rhinestones as we countdown to the holidays, and New Year’s Eve party-approved shimmer and glitter shades. Or, if you like to keep things simple, it’s a tried and true hue that looks elevated all on its own. Ranging anywhere from milky pinks to sheer wintry whites, the keyword to keep in mind here is: bright!

For a soft, sheer hint of colour that finds the perfect medium between pink and white, opt for Essie’s “Marshmallow.” Keep it sheer with one to two coats, or build it up to an opaque shade by adding more layers.

Where sheer pink shades are concerned, there’s hardly a polish more coveted than OPI’s “Bubble Bath.” After all, it’s one half of the formula popularized by #beautytok that combines with the brand’s “Funny Bunny” polish to create the *ultimate* neutral nail colour.

Chrome is where the heart is

From futuristic silver shades to soft vanilla chrome, this colour trend popularized by Hailey Bieber’s glazed donut nails of last summer shows no signs of stopping during the winter months.

With its glistening, icy appeal, the metallic hue of silver chrome polish feels festive enough for soirée season, yet cool and understated enough to last the length of winter while still being wearable.

A chrome powder is typically required for this widely sought-after chrome look, but Londontown’s Lackur Enhanced Colour polish in the shade “Dishy Splendour” allows you to cheat your way to silver chrome. With its highly pigmented and long-lasting formula, it’s the only product you’ll need to recreate this colour.

What is ILIA Face Base Milk?

ILIA’s The Base Face Milk breaks away from ordinary skincare products, striking the perfect balance between a traditional moisturizer and a light essence. With each use, the hydrating face product provides a lightweight, potent and calming boost of moisture to instantly hydrate and reduce redness.

Smoother skin texture and a stronger skin barrier are among the top ILIA Face Base review call-outs.

The lightweight and versatile formula is designed to be flexible in your routine — after cleansing, use the face milk as your moisturizer to lock in hydration, or under a cream when your skin needs some extra love. Better yet, the product comes in a sleek glass bottle that looks oh-so-chic in your medicine cabinet.

With a powerful combination of ingredients including hyaluronic acid, prickly pear flower extract and plant-based squalane, this practical yet effective product simplifies our skincare routine — and we’re eternally grateful.

Features we love:

• Lightweight, versatile formula
• Suitable for all skin types
• Sleek packaging
• Reduces redness
• Soothes skin texture
• Safe for sensitive skin
• Vegan and cruelty-free
• Fragrance-free
• Designed to layer below ILIA Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40

How to use ILIA Face Base Milk

Lightweight and easy to layer, the Face Base Milk formula works for all skin types and molds to your daily skincare routine, here’s the breakdown:

• If you have oily skin, use it like a lightweight moisturizer as your final step
• Those with dry skin should layer it underneath a moisturizer for an extra boost of hydration
• If you have sensitive skin, apply it before your actives for extra skin barrier support

For the best application, give the bottle two to three shakes into your palms, rub them together and gently press into the skin.

The face milk is the perfect prep step before any ILIA complexion product, but works seamlessly with all brands of foundation and makeup as a first layer. Better yet, you can go makeup-free and show off your supple skin!

Blunt cut, shaggy, micro-cropped, we don’t discriminate! This timeless hairstyle is shaping up (get it?) to be the biggest haircut trend of the year. Just look to the 2024 Golden Globes where the red carpet was illuminated with film and television stars rocking bob after bob. From Emma Stone’s red-hot retro lob to Ayo Edibiri’s flipped-out ends, who knew there were so many ways to work this short and chic style?

Read on as we break down the best ways to wear bob cuts, and how to style them.

The retro lob

A post shared by Rachel Goodwin (@rachelgoodwinmakeup)

Much like flared pants remind us of the ’70s, a longer bob (lob) haircut complete with flipped-out ends has a retro feel that anyone with shorter hair should be running to replicate.

Take Emma Stone for example, who accepted her Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy Motion Picture award at the 2024 Golden Globes flaunting a blunt copper crop with flipped-out ends. Stone’s stylist Mara Roszak used products from her haircare line, Rōz, to give the Poor Things actress lifted roots and a long-lasting hold to ensure her flared ends didn’t fall flat during the show.

The side-parted micro-bob

Never underestimate how switching up your part can give you a whole new look. Case in point: Cailee Spaeny’s side-parted micro bob at the 2024 Golden Globes was quite the departure from the bouffant wigs she wore as the leading lady in Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla.

With a side-swept soft curl and the remainder of her hair tucked behind her ear, the Golden Globe-nominated actress looked elegant as ever with this hairdo sculpted by Kiley Fitzgerald.

The “Rachel” 2.0

Remember Rachel Green’s layered lob from Friends? At this month’s Golden Globes, Jennifer Aniston revived her character’s signature haircut with a “Rachel 2.0” crop.

If you want your stylist to recreate this ’90s-esque cut, take notes from Aniston’s stylist Chris McMillan, who described the look as having a “soft blunt perimeter for the length and invisible layers throughout” on Instagram. He then went on to list the products used to prep for this style, which included a shampoo, conditioner, hair paste and oil from Lolavie — the haircare line Aniston launched in 2021.

Flipped-out ends

A post shared by Miles Jeffries (@milesjeffrieshair)

Think super-cropped bobs are too short to be styled? Think again! Pair this length with flicked ends for chic, cool-girl vibes.

On the 2024 Golden Globes red carpet, Golden Globe winner Ayo Edebiri (The Bear) sported a middle-parted nano-bob styled by Miles Jeffries with flipped-out ends. To test this look out for yourself, all you’ll need to do is straighten your hair with a flat iron as usual — but flip the outwards, instead of making one completely straight pass.

The Roaring ’20s crop

A post shared by Naoko Sofia Patrizia Scintu (@naokoscintu)

Adding a little curvature to your bob cut with soft finger waves and C-curls is a surefire way to instantly elevate your look. Past Lives actress Greta Lee’s 2024 Golden Globes hairdo, styled by Jenny Cho, was fully giving Roaring ’20s Gatsby girl, and we adored it. Not one hair was out of place, and it was an absolute high-gloss masterpiece.

If you ask us, this Jazz age-inspired style will forever stand the test of time.

The lived-in bob

Keeping up with a bob can feel like a lot of maintenance at times, but if worn the right way, you can use the slept-in, tousled look to your advantage. Just ask America Ferrera!

In an interview with Byrdie, hairstylist Aviva Perea revealed that her goal for the Barbie actress’s 2024 Golden Globes look was something that appeared “a little more lived in,” as though Ferrera had styled her hair the previous day. To achieve this effortless-looking style, Perea went in with a flat iron and created slight flicks and bends.

The full-of-body bob

A post shared by SherriAnn Cole (@therealritabee)

Bobs can be big, bouncy, and full of body, too. At Sunday’s Golden Globes, Sheryl Lee Ralph perfectly demonstrated how to give a bob a boost of volume.

Ralph opted for a dramatic side part and a cascade of lush curls styled by SherriAnn Cole for her red carpet look. For a sultry touch, the Abbott Elementary star’s bang was swept just over her eye.

The middle part crop

A post shared by Jenny Cho (@jennychohair)

Partial to a sharp middle part? Try emulating Maestro actress Carey Mulligan’s chic hairdo from this year’s Golden Globes. Also styled by Jenny Cho, it’s a hairdo minimalists will love.

To get this look, Mulligan’s bob was styled using an assortment of Briogeo products and tools, such as the Don’t Despair, Repair! leave-in treatment and the Vegan Boar Bristle Brush. To incorporate that classic glamour feel (which matched her 1949-inspired Schiaparelli dress), her chin-length hair was flipped under at the ends.

The old Hollywood lob

When your hair hits lob length, you may be at a loss for which look to try next. May we suggest going for an old Hollywood style? It should have a deep side part and an exaggerated S-wave to emphasize that silver screen-worthy vibe.

True to her signature look, Naomi Watts was a vision of timeless beauty at the 2024 Golden Globes with her own vintage-inspired lob, which playfully incorporated a mixture of both curled and straightened strands. Marki Shkreli, who has also styled Charlize Theron and Lily Collins’ hair, was the artist behind the look. What’s a red carpet without at least one nod to old Hollywood?

The post 2024 Is the Year of the Bob Haircut — Just Ask These Celebs appeared first on FASHION Magazine.

While smudge-proof formulas require a lot of scrubbing to remove — which is harsh on the eyes and even more harsh on the lashes — the best tubing mascara can amp up your makeup game without irritation.

What is tubing mascara, anyway?

Smudging and flaking are two words you don’t want to be associated with your mascara. While regular mascaras are made with waxes and silicones, tubing mascaras are made with water-soluble polymers that create flexible tubes around each lash.

Instead of coating your lashes with thick layers of waterproof mascara, tubing mascara easily wraps each lash in water-resistant, tube-like polymers (almost like a little cap that washes off). It sounds weird, but these tubes make your lashes look good and stay that way for hours.

The result? A flawless finish that’s easy to remove!

What to look for in the best tubing mascara

The phenomenon of tubing mascara has dominated social media, and rightfully so. “Tubing mascara forms a water-resistant shield around your lashes. No more panda eyes even if you break a sweat, cry, or even run in the rain,” explains Gisaura Laporte, owner of Hair and Makeup By Gisaura in Sola Salons.

“The fascination is in the removal process. You don’t need a makeup remover, just warm water. It’s smudge-proof, long-lasting, no clumping and gentle on lashes.”

But, what’s the difference between traditional and tubing mascara? “Look at the ingredients and if they mention anything like propanediol, 10 dimethicone, polysilicon-11, cera alba, or glyceryl stearate, those are polymers, and that indeed is a tubing mascara,” says Laporte.

She recommends using tubing mascara in combination with a lash primer because it contains fibres that wrap around every single lash. This helps to disguise the whiteness of the primer formula, but it will add extra length, too. Hot tip: Tubing mascaras also tend to be longer lasting than traditional mascaras.

“If you are looking for a mascara that can provide long wear, smudge resistance, and easy application, I highly suggest trying a tubing formula. I get so many compliments. People think that they are false lashes!”
