When I was in college in the late aughts, you could find me trolling the department stores along the Magnificent Mile in Chicago. One of my stops was always the Armani beauty counter to get free samples of the brand’s Luminous Silk Foundation. I relied on the lightweight foundation to give my skin a satiny

Axelle/Bauer-GriffinGetty Images In a brand new video with skincare YouTuber Hyram Yarbo, Hailey Bieber delved deep into her favorite skincare products that help her achieve her signature glow, beautifully contoured features, and wide-awake, bright under-eyes. In the video, she reveals one of her hero products: the BeautyStat Universal C Eye Perfector, which retails for $65

It’s difficult to imagine what life was like before Doniella Davy’s “Euphoria makeup” became part of the beauty lexicon. Simple eyeliner strokes took a backseat to intricate line art that extends beyond the crease; rhinestones pepper just about every makeup look as much as faux freckles once did, and iridescent eyeshadows are no longer relegated

Rouge à Lèvres Satin Lipstick Gucci sephora.com $42.00 Alessandro Michele is all about maximalism, and his latest collection for Gucci bit off about as much as a person can possibly chew. The Italian house’s resort 2023 collection was an ode to “cosmogonies,” or the theory related to how the universe started—you know, the little things.

Sunnies Face “When is Sunnies Face launching in the U.S.?” is a DM I get a lot. As a Filipino American beauty editor and content creator, I’ve been sent products from the Philippines-based makeup brand and fallen in love from 8,500 miles away. Word of mouth has traveled far: I know of many friends who’ve

Considering her title, it likely comes as no surprise that taking care of her skin—from head to toe—is the crux of ELLE beauty editor Margaux Anbouba’s morning routine. After hitting the snooze button and relaxing with her fluffy cat Fondue in bed, she starts her AM skincare routine. To combat morning puffiness, she uses a

Even via Zoom, anticipation is high when Pat McGrath appears onscreen to introduce her latest game-changing product, telling a group of editors that it’s something she’s “used backstage on many models.” No, it’s not an eye-catching makeup palette or a pigmented lipstick. At long last, the muva of makeup is expanding into an entirely new

Being a beauty editor comes with its perks (hello, seemingly endless product samples), but trying to find calm between market meetings, press events, unboxing and testing products, and actually sitting down to write and edit make for busy days. That’s why Elle Beauty Editor Margaux Anbouba makes it a point to begin each and every

For Sylvie Chantecaille, founder of the eponymous botanical skincare and makeup brand, Chantecaille, roses intertwine generations. As a little girl growing up in France, she and her mother spent hours caring for the roses in their garden. “I woke up to the scent of roses every morning,” she says. You could say it was her

David M. BenettGetty Images I’ve loved Naomi Campbell since the ’90s. Her sculpted face and silky straight hair are imprinted in my mind when I think about my introduction to fashion. As a child her influence on me knew no bounds, whether it was her ‘Got Milk?’ ad that made me solely drink 1% or

There was a lot to unpack this past first Monday in May. It was nearly impossible to be a person with an iPhone (especially a female-identifying one who works in fashion) without getting whiplash toggling between articles about red carpet looks and Roe v. Wade leaks. Within seconds, we found ourselves grappling with the fact

Arturo Holmes/MG22Getty Images Sydney Sweeney sashayed onto the Met Gala red carpet—after being stuck in NYC traffic, which doesn’t care about your celebrity status—donning an all-white Tory Burch convertible ensemble that allowed her glam team to creatively execute the night’s “Gilded Glamour” theme, especially around her doe eyes. The Euphoria actress’s beauty squad included celebrity

The great poet Sylvia Plath once wrote, “My face I know not. One day ugly as a frog the mirror blurts it back.” I feel you, girl. While many people channeled their anxiety into canning and puzzles during the pandemic, I took it out on my face. Some call it facial dysmorphia, but I call

MADAM by Madam C.J. Walker I spent most of my adult life with a mid-length to-short razor-cut bob, with and without extensions and sometimes relaxed. A few years ago, I decided that I’d not only outgrown that look, but the way I styled it, which was compromising the health of my strands. So I decided

With so many different hair coloring products available on the market, it can be impossible to know what you actually need. People with dyed hair know dyeing involves either a double or single process (lightening or bleaching, if needed, followed by the actual pigment). When you are in between salon visits, there are various professional

Olivia Malone/ Trunk Archive As the story goes, Empress Joséphine haunted the halls of her home, Château de Malmaison, long after she’d departed—as a smell, not a specter. Her scent, which Napoleon famously asked her to preserve by not bathing, was reportedly a musky perfume she wore like a diaphanous second skin, and it lingered…and

The girls (and expensive houses I wished I lived in!) are back. Selling Sunset season 5 is finally streaming on Netflix, and if you’re ready for the drama, you’ll want to tune in ASAP. Season 5 follows Heather and Tarek Ra El Moussa’s wedding, Christine Quinn finding a friend in the newest realtor, Chelsea Lazkani,

I was eight years old the first time I pulled out a hair. Lying on my parents’ green couch, I watched my hand rise toward my face and settle on my right eyebrow. I fingered the silky soft hairs. One was shorter, pricklier than the others. I pinched it between my thumb and index finger.

I’ve been a champion hair shedder for as long as I can remember. A small girl with a disproportionately large mop of hair, I recall repeatedly breaking my mom’s fine-tooth combs and meekly asking my dad if he could snake the drain. Again. And while stylists would often tell me how lucky I was to

To help you achieve the perfect no-makeup-makeup look—just in time for summer—Hermès Beauty

The final day of my recent trip to Los Angeles was reserved for a stroll around Venice Beach. A sweaty surfer dude with long, flowing golden locks skated in circles as my nose began tingling with the aromas of the popular strip. The initial notes were provided by the strong incense candles being sold by

Legendary fashion brand Off-White, which visionary Virgil Abloh led until his passing in November of 2021, just made its first foray into the beauty world, launching four genderless fragrances. The new beauty line, called “Paperwork” is a collection “(re)imagined as an innovative toolkit designed to celebrate diversity and inspire self-expression; it invites all human beings

Rosdiana CiaravoloGetty Images For skincare junkies, some ingredients might start sounding familiar: Hyaluronic acid for hydration, vitamin C for brightness, and salicylic acid for acne. But if you’ve been reading ingredient lists lately, you’ll know that there’s a new player in the game: squalane. It seems like overnight, it’s everywhere, from your serums to your

For the first time, Glossier is launching a curated set with their new brand partner, the one and only Olivia Rodrigo. The Grammy Award-winning singer has been a fan of the Y2K beauty brand for some time now–she’s the one who first showed the world Ultralip, after all–and now she’s getting the chance to be
