7 Cute & Actually Wearable Makeup Trends To Try In 2025
From red blush to the “cinnamon girl” aesthetic, TikTok was the driving force behind countless viral makeup trends in 2024. It was the year we ditched foundation in favor of using only concealer, embraced Eras Tour makeup, and saw the return of all things blue. That’s not to mention the hundreds of sell-out products. Refy’s Lash Sculpt and Rhode’s Pocket Blush were on everyone’s shopping lists, Rhode’s so much so that diehard fans stood in line for up to seven hours to enter the brand’s L...

And if the title of this article wasn’t a dead giveaway, today we’re here to review one of those rare shining sta...
A Dental Student By Day, A Beauty Girly By Night: This Is How Makeup Fuels Her Creativity
For some, a lipstick is just a lipstick. But for others, it’s a source of strength, creativity, and expression. In our series Power Faces, we’ll explore the relationship between strong women and the makeup they choose to wear — or not. In partnership with NYX, our latest subject is Sunny Poudel, a Nepalese American beauty content creator and dental student. This story was told to Fawnia Soo Hoo and edited for length and clarity. When I moved halfway across the world from Nepal to Falls Chu...
15 e.l.f. Products That Aren’t Viral Yet (But Totally Should Be)
There’s nothing quite like discovering a beauty product so good, it becomes an instant staple in your routine. But when that new find also happens to be affordable? That’s the kind of joy that makes us want to shout it from the mountaintops (or, more realistically, share it with the group chat). And, when it comes to budget-friendly beauty that never skimps on quality, there is no one out here doing it like e.l.f. Cosmetics.You’re probably already familiar with a few e.l.f. products that have...

I Got Baby Brows, A Subtle Alternative To Lamination — & I’m A Convert
The beauty industry has a clever knack for taking popular treatments and cuteifying them for the masses by stitching on one small word: baby. In the past few years we’ve seen baby Botox (using fewer units of Botox to smooth lines without the “frozen” effect), baby balayage (a hair-coloring technique that bleaches smaller sections of hair for a more natural, blended look) and baby lip filler (injecting a minimal dose of hyaluronic acid to plump lips undetectably). One thing they all ha...

7 Brides Share Their Biggest Wedding Day Hair & Makeup Regrets
From choosing the caterers to avoiding family feuds while writing up the seating plan, weddings can be a pressure-cooker experience. For brides especially, there’s often an expectation to look your very best. Phrases like “you, but better” are unavoidable when it comes to choosing a hair and makeup artist (or brushing up on DIY tips if you’re giving things a go yourself).But hair and makeup is largely personal.

The Hype Is Real: These 2 Products Gave Me Fuller-Looking Lips
For as long as I can remember, my lips have been a source of insecurity. My upper lip is visibly thinner than my lower, and while it’s probably not as noticeable to others as it is to me, my Cupid’s bow is slightly uneven. My awareness of this lack of volume and symmetry dates back to childhood, when I would spend hours poring over the full and flawless lips of the ‘90s supermodels that graced my mother’s magazines — a fixation that led to a failed middle school attempt at wearing lip line...
