Do you remember the last time you played dress–up? Maybe it was when you were a little kid. For others, like me, you might find yourself playing dress up whenever you go shopping and come home with new clothes or beauty products. Experimenting with your look in the comfort of your own home is not

In Charlotte Tilbury’s world, everyone is a darling—emphasis on the “ah,” mouth drawn open like you’re applying lipstick, and “liiiiing,” trilled like it’s three syllables. Her longtime clients, Penélope Cruz and Amal Clooney? Darlings, obviously. A bronzed cater waiter circulating with champagne that she promises we will imbibe together after our interview? A darling. A

If Mother Earth could speak right now, she’d probably start aggressively rapping the karaoke edition of “Hot in Herre” by Nelly, because these rising temperatures are no joke. Hotter temperatures don’t just have a profound effect on the Earth—they can also wreak havoc on our skin. According to data collected by the Environmental Protection Agency,

Emily Ratajowksi is used to having her name on everyone’s lips—but when was the last time we knew what was on hers? The New York City-based It Girl has that midas touch—so it’s no surprise she’s currently an Hourglass Cosmetics ambassador. This year, the brand launched a series of matte lipsticks, confirming that matte is

If you’ve made your way to skin care TikTok by now, you’ve seen dermatologists and skin care lovers buzzing about vitamin C. The latest in the sequence of viral hero ingredients, vitamin C is best known for helping to fight dark spots and boost collagen production to keep your skin looking plump and smooth. “Vitamin

“I own my power.” That’s the affirmation Alicia Keys chose for her Broadway debut. No—the 15-time Grammy winner will not be on stage, but the play is inspired by her life growing up in NYC, set to her popular music (and new songs, too). “I like to choose an affirmation that speaks to my vibe

Entering an artist’s world through their music is one thing, but a greater intimacy forms when an artist grants access to the most sacred parts of their life, especially an area that’s a common sore spot for many consumers: haircare. In February, Beyoncé launched Cécred, an extension of the lessons learned from her first job

While there are a lot of life changes that come with having a child, aging faster usually isn’t on any expecting mom’s bingo card, but according to research, it can happen. A new study, published April 8 in The Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences found that pregnancy can accelerate aging in young women. Researchers

Ann Caruso was busy. Her career in the fashion industry had taken off. She was a contributing fashion editor at Harper’s BAZAAR, a stylist doing ad campaigns and fashion shows and dressing celebrities, and a brand consultant. She didn’t have time for breast cancer. “I was in a place in my life where I was

Ever since I was 14, whiteheads have taken up residence around my mouth and along my jawline once a month, like clockwork, right as my period is about to start. I’ve experimented with countless acne remedies over the years, from questionable DIY spot treatments to harsh face scrubs and while some of them have helped

Call it the weariness from early Spring showers or just the cozy camaraderie I share with my coworkers, I found myself in the middle of our cubicles confessing a beauty secret akin to a pope stepping into a confessional to divulge his sins. As the words slipped from my lips, there was an audible gasp

“You look preeclamptic,” my friend told me as I greeted her. I was 34 weeks pregnant, and it had been a rough pregnancy. Between the demands of my job as a hand surgeon and mother to a toddler, preeclampsia was the last thing I wanted to worry about. I already had a period of bedrest

It girl. An elusive and nuanced phrase yet an easily recognizable face. To say there’s a recipe for what makes someone “it” means you’re not paying attention. “It” can’t just be anyone; it’s a term bestowed by collective perception, not self-prescribed. The formula is as complex to crack as the TikTok algorithm, but the hallmarks

I don’t identify as a morning person, but my skin does. During the first hour I’m awake, my complexion truly beams. Redness? Gone. Texture? Smooth. Lines? Barely visible. This is not a phenomenon that’s unique to me, it’s science—skin repairs itself overnight. But thanks to gravity and exposure to the elements and well, life, this

We’ve heard the stories of tweens wreaking havoc in Sephora stores and racking up $800 carts full of beauty products. But many of the products in those Sephora bags do not necessarily improve their skin and can damage the skin barrier. When you are under the age of 13—even if you are dealing with acne,

Michaela Jaé Rodriguez pops up on the screen for our Zoom call looking fabulous as ever, and she is the embodiment of pink. Her metallic blazer, her shiny eyeshadow (Charlotte Tilbury Luxury Palette in Pillow Talk), and her glossy lip combo—all pink.

There’s a $65 candle inspired by a unique feeling (and it’s not love). Scented with bamboo and thyme blossom, it’s meant to capture the euphoric sensation of arriving home after a long day and flinging off your bra—move over, Baies, it’s all about Braless. That elusive feeling is difficult enough to evoke in a candle,

Battling acne can be an isolating experience, especially when everyone else around you seems to have perfect skin without even trying. Chances are we all know that person who washes their face in the shower with body wash, yet has had maybe one pimple in their life. The beauty of social media is finding community

There’s no such thing as spoiling yourself too much. I’m a profound believer in buying myself a little treat here and there, but the only thing better than going out to a store to buy myself a present is finding one on my doorstep after a long day of work, just dying for me to

As a longtime seeker and sometimes finder, over the years, I’ve met with all matter of energy healers, past-life readers, and mediums. If it exists beyond the 3D, take me there. One place I never expected to uncover the secrets of the universe: within the Courier-font pages of declassified CIA documents, circa 1983. Buckle up—I’ll
