Emma McIntyreGetty Images Tracee Ellis Ross is the epitome of classic style. She has followed in the footsteps of her trendsetting mother, Diana Ross, and become one to watch on the red carpet for epic beauty and hair looks. Whether she’s donning ultra-long cornrows or wearing her natural curls fully out (her “favorite style,” she

Gwyneth Paltrow does not play around when it comes to skincare. The 49-year-old actress and Goop mogul cherishes her skincare routine—and we can see why. Her complexion is always radiant whenever she appears on the red carpet, and the actress recently shared one of the products she swears by to prep her skin before all

I’ll admit it, I have two major weaknesses. (1) A good deal (I’m a bargain shopper at heart), and (2) TikTok. So when, during my late-night scrolling, I came across multiple TikTok-ers claiming they had found a budget-friendly, multi-purpose hair dryer brush called the Elecsop 5 in 1 Hair Blower Brush Hairdryer that delivered the

Christie Brinkley does not play around when it comes to her beauty routine—and who could blame her. She’s the epitome of timeless beauty. The former supermodel and actress is known for her gorgeous makeup looks and flawless complexion, and fans are always eager to find out what beauty products she uses. Fortunately for us, the

Some much welcome good news: The House of Representatives has passed the CROWN Act, a bill that ensures hair traits historically associated with ethnicity are protected at work and in schools. The House Judiciary announced the decision via Twitter on Friday, writing, “BREAKING: @HouseDemocrats have PASSED the #CROWNAct, a critically important civil rights bill that

If you’ve ventured out to see The Batman in recent weeks, you know just how great Zoë Kravitz is as Catwoman. While her performance is in a constant replay in my mind, her beauty looks from the film have now taken over. After all, when Pat McGrath is behind Kravitz’s looks for the role, there’s

When faced with the scenario of being stranded on a remote desert island, you’d probably whittle your beauty routine down to the absolute must-haves. What products can you not survive without? I pose the question to Ariana Grande, an unlikely candidate for an indefinite stay in the wilderness, via Zoom, even though she could have

With TikTok making beauty products go viral every other day, it seems that more and more products are being released in the hope of becoming the next big thing. From the Karla Cosmetics Shadow Potion gel eye shadow, a long-wearing multichrome eye-shadow gel, to the Fenty Beauty Fenty Icon semi-matte refillable lipstick set, a creamy,

America’s Next Top Model contestant, Winnie Harlow, has not only grown to be one of fashion’s top models, but also spends her days as an activist, influencer, and beauty entrepreneur.

Rosdiana CiaravoloGetty Images For a long time, the hair-conscious have been bombarded with an ingredient list of absolute no-nos, scaring us into avoiding products with ingredients like sulfates and silicones. A lot of this is left over from the ’90s and late ’00s, when we learned about routines like the Curly Girl Method, which lists

Icon Semi-Matte Refillable Lipstick FENTY BEAUTY by Rihanna ulta.com $20.00 There is a digital graveyard full of folks that lie in Rihanna’s wake. Rest In Power Piers Morgan, Kendall Jenner, Celebuzz, and especially you, Fishy Poom Poom. However, the Badgal, soon-to-be Badmom, promises we haven’t seen anything yet when it compares to the defense she’ll

RB/Bauer-GriffinGetty Images Amanda Seyfried is uncanny as Elizabeth Holmes in Hulu’s The Dropout. Her voice, her movements, and, of course, her beauty looks are so perfectly upsetting. From the haphazard bun to the slightly crazed look in the eye, it’s a show that’s making us all impatiently wait for the next episode. One of the

As we’re officially hitting year two of the pandemic, complaining about maskne feels a little passé. But it’s still true–wearing cloth and medical face masks for hours on end is just not great for our skin. It’s warm and moist under there, which is the ideal breeding ground for bacteria, which leads to acne and

Neutrogena believes that beauty begins with healthy skin. The brand has always helmed innovation in skin science and sun safety, setting a high bar for products that deliver. But putting great skincare on shelves isn’t enough. They realized that the lack of credible educational materials and access to dermatologists prevents more than half of the

Rosdiana CiaravoloGetty Images Along with becoming poreless, acne-free, and impeccably chiseled, one of my forever skincare goals is to have enviably glowy skin. I’m not talking about highlighters or skin-smoothing foundations, either (though they are great hacks for the impatient); I want that natural lit-from-within, reflective, looks-great-without-makeup sheen. My lack of a glow is especially

When the OG scrubs (aka physical exfoliators) arrived in the ’80s and ’90s, they were wildly popular. Remember St. Ives Apricot Scrub? Sure, some of those skin smoothers felt like sandpaper, but the results were instant and addictive: A single sloughing session could leave skin noticeably softer, smoother, and more radiant. The problem was that

Jan Welters/Trunk Archive When I lost all my hair in my twenties (thanks to cancer and chemo), I held out hope that it would grow back thick and curly, the way it had been before I’d gotten sick. But that’s not what happened. Instead, the new growth came in wavy, with a tendency to fall

In a quest to fill the Lexi Howard–sized hole in my heart since Euphoria’s season two finale, I’ve gone down a Maude Apatow rabbit hole. Recently to Vogue, the 24-year-old actress shared the skincare products that helped prevent breakouts while on the set of the hit HBO show. One of those is none other than

No matter how extensive or streamlined your skincare routine, the most important and not-to-be-missed step is wearing sunscreen. Every. Single. Day. Skin tone and type aside, protecting your exterior from harmful sun rays is an absolute must. But it’s no secret that finding formulas that don’t look like a chalky mess isn’t always the easiest

News flash: Shaving is no longer relegated to your underarms, bikini line, and legs—people are shaving their faces now. It’s called dermaplaning, and the procedure is usually performed in-office by a dermatologist or esthetician using a tool called a scalpel. While regular facials may not be as frequent, what hasn’t ceased, are the vellus hairs

Amazon has long been our go-to online retailer for pretty much everything: fashion, home goods, general must-haves—and, of course, for all our beauty needs. Well today, they’re launching their very own beauty brand called Amazon Aware. The environmental impact of every product they’ve created in the collection is top of mind. Each item has been

Caroline Tompkins / Refinery29 for Getty ImagesGetty Images We can all shamelessly admit that we’ve succumbed to a viral TikTok beauty hack or product during our daily doom-scroll through the app. Perhaps it was adding liquid chlorophyll to your water when TikTok said the ingredient would help manage your acne. We’ve since learned that there’s

It’s utterly impossible to not fangirl hard over Gwen Stefani. Only a few minutes into a Zoom call, she appeared from the other side of a black square posing with her long checkerboard nails in double peace signs framing her sharp winged liner. I felt like I was catching up with an old friend. We’d

Rosdiana CiaravoloGetty Images As the proud owner of substantially damaged hair, courtesy of a bucket-full of bleach and some nimbly-wielded hot tools, I’m always on the hunt for a treatment that will restore my locks to their virginal, damage-free state. I’ve come to accept that no miracle cure will zipper-up my split ends or un-fry

If you didn’t recognize Kendall Jenner on the Prada Fall Winter Ready-to-Wear runway, we don’t blame you. The model debuted a dramatic hair transformation similar to the one her c0-supermodel and friend Gigi Hadid made just last year—she’s now a redhead. While Hadid openly said her inspiration was Netflix’s The Queen’s Gambit, Jenner’s shade of

Artwork by Yelena Yemchuk To this day, I find it hard to tell the story of how I got sick. All I can say is that in my twenties and thirties, I got very ill very slowly. When I was 21, I began to experience strange neurological sensations, including vertigo when I walked up and

In the wise words of Champagne Papi, it’s almost the season of “wearing less and going out more,” and for many, increasing temperatures also marks the start of warm-weather grooming: Bare legs for mini skirts and dresses, baby-smooth bikini area for all the high-cut, booty-baring, Huji-filtered swimsuit photos, and stubble-free armpits for sleeveless tops. As

RiRi can’t stop making headlines. Whether she’s announcing her pregnancy in the chicest way possible or redefining pregnancy style at an event for her incredible perfume, it seems like Rihanna has been having a better 2022 than anybody else. And the good news can’t stop coming. Still no word on an album, but the singer
