It's all about the details — at least when it comes to our rainbow beauty roundup here. Aside from lookin' and feelin' fine, by purchasing any of these, you'll also be actively participating in benefiting multiple projects, foundations, and organizations providing help and care to the LGBTQA+ population — since part (and, in some cases, all) of the proceeds will be donated to this cause. Grab your sunscreen and let's go!
Gracing this article's cover, we kick off the list with a new line of highlighting compacts by Gwen Stefani, available in 3 variants. Ranging from subtle satin to holographic brilliance, these shimmering powders, with their velvety formula, seamlessly melt into the skin, diffusing light for a luminous highlight that can be worn on the face, body, or eyes.
Staying protected from the sun's effects is a must, but that sun-kissed look — also kind of a must. Our grandmas might have spent hours offering their faces to scorching rays to get all sun-sculpted, but thankfully, we know better now — and can get the desired results way quicker and safer.
When it comes to beauty, a high price doesn't always mean that a specific product will be welcomed by our skin; sometimes our skin will prefer a different formula, and if it happens to come at half the price (or even less) as the luxury option — oh, the joy of a newly discovered gem! These foundations here prove just that. They may not come with hefty price tags, but they deliver results that can rival even the most luxurious options out there.
The Met Gala is known for its extravagant and experimental fashion and beauty looks and for being the perfect place to flaunt drama. Seeing how this year the theme honored the controversial legacy of Karl Lagerfeld, this year's event did not disappoint — in both, drama and high style. From intricate hairdos and striking makeup choices to being defiant of Karl Lagerfeld's aesthetic and taste, the stars definitely took to making a statement with their presence and fashion and makeup choices.
Do you find the smell and sight of cherry blossoms optimistic and alluring? Does it make you feel impatient as you remember biting into those first, succulent fruits of the season (especially since they're Whole30-friendly)? That burst of taste and smell of cherries that is so mesmerizing to some is only the surface. The glorious cherry tree has a lot more to give than that. In the beauty industry, both wild and sweet cherries are used for an array of benefits they have on our skin and hair. Here's which parts of the cherry trees are used and what it is that makes them a hero among natural skincare ingredients.
No reason to ditch your trusted black eyeliner, but if neon, bright and bold eyeliners, eye pencils, and mascaras are something you normally never wear, you might end up having more fun with them than you expected. Neon eye makeup can be applied as a statement detail, if you're going for a trendy look, or in any other way you may discover appeals to you when you look in the mirror during play. However, do play, and here's why. Neon makeup tends to serve more the "makeup purpose of makeup" i.e. it's more about the artistic and striking decorative approach, and less about using makeup " to just look alive and presentable these days, girl!" purpose. Neon makeup wants to be seen standing out.
Festival season is upon us, and with it comes the challenge of keeping our beauty game strong amidst the dancing, the elements, and the crowds. Whether a Coachella veteran or a first-timer, it's important to have some tricks up our sleeve to keep the long days and late nights all about laughter, movement and beauty, and less about hair, skincare, or makeup malfunctions.
It may be official Self-Care Day today, but by now, we all know the importance of having those regularly, regardless of how wide or narrow the intervals are between them. Once again, we are facing the importance of consistency and the big power within
This is a lightweight, transfer-proof and a crease-free illuminating concealer. Thanks to brightening pigments, pearls and energizing ingredients, the under eye area will look lifted and refreshed, and will feel comfortable at the same time. Available in 15 shades.
Girls will be girls, and will always be asking other girls about mascaras, OK? Oh, ChatGPT is totally a she, as I did also ask about its gender preference when I refer to it in the future (ask her yourself — hint, hint — it's up to us to choose). Now, back to the 10 best mascaras of all time.
Blessed be multipurpose makeup products! Not only do lip+cheek sticks and balms provide an even-hued, balanced look, but they also make us, if not gorg, then at least presentable — in a matter of minutes. They also make touching-up not an issue, since we can just dip and dab from a single product.
Enhancing the overall look and shape of lips continues to be an obsession of ours — lips are, after all, the (literal) gateway of expression! An abundance of lip treatments, both needle-involving and add-to-cart ones, and lip coloring products, speak of our desire to express ourselves via lips as capriciously and comfortably as we want to, when we want to. They remain a weapon (bullet lipstick, anyone?), and it's no wonder we want to embellish our trusted weapon.
Try to learn about an Aries woman and you'll discover that, among other traits, the energetic Aries likes to make her presence known, loves self-conquering and requires quality and as less fuss as possible. Translate that into makeup language: the less demanding a product is to use, the better. Aries women would like a finished look (and for it to be achieved quickly), so multipurpose makeup products would be something they would most often reach for.

If you like your makeup to be served vegan, you happen to be in the right place right now. Looking to February 28th, the National Vegan Lipstick Day, we couldn't pass up the opportunity to present you with some utterly delicious vegan lipstick newness; well...perhaps not delicious in the gourmet sense of the word, but most certainly vegan-inclusive.
Transitional care, i.e. skin and hair care in between seasons, may get a little frustrating from time to time: we could feel like we have just gotten used to a new routine, finally found and provided what our skin needs, and then it starts to feel like it's time to re-adjust, all too quickly. Luckily, plum oil could be that "just right" transitional partner to us.
To honor and celebrate Black History Month, we've put together a list of emerging, newly launched, as well as some long-standing Black-owned beauty businesses you should know about — because you're going to be obsessed! We can safely assume you are very familiar with Rihanna's brand, as well as that of Pat McGrath (both featured often on our pages, among others), so we wanted to introduce you to some that may be new to you and just as deserving of your (money and) attention.
The Grammys happened! The Grammy awards fall into the kind of awards ceremony where high fashion and beauty tend to be (or are encouraged to be) to be accentuated by edgy. That's always been welcome, and Grammys are, traditionally now, one of the best places for celebs to rock the experimental, very extroverted and fierce couture.
A warm welcome, at the same time, to a beauty brand launch so fresh, it's still sizzling. We are richer by a collection of nutritiously balanced and clinically responsive products created to make taking care of our skin as intuitive as eating a well-balanced diet.
