More than 50 percent of women will experience noticeable hair loss in their lifetime—a change that can affect much more than their appearance.

After being diagnosed with a rare form

Glossier rolled out its latest complexion launch, the Stretch Fluid Foundation, with 32 shades and four different undertones. In addition, they are updating their cult-loved Stretch Balm Concealer in a matching 32 shades. Glossier has had quite a year—first, stepping outside their minimalistic approach with G-suit, moveable matte lipsticks in bold hues. The dedication to

In the pursuit of glowing, smooth skin, there’s one ingredient that comes up over and over: retinol. The family of ingredients is still the most-studied anti-aging ingredient on the market for a reason: “Retinol helps stimulate collagen production, enhances cell turnover, strengthens the skin to improve the appearance of wrinkles and evens pigmentation,” says Josh

In 2023, body hair is a choice. For me, I’ve chosen to go totally hairless on my arms (I think some sort of PTSD from major teasing as a child) but choose to have armpit hair—at least, that’s the state of affairs for today. For those who are a little more firm in their body

Our homes are our sanctuaries — places we crawl back to every night to exhale. While they’ve always been sacred, home became an even bigger priority during the pandemic when we all found ourselves confined behind closed doors — hidden from the world. Overnight, many prioritized making it a sanctuary with a sense of urgency.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had oily, acne-prone skin. Over the past year, I’ve finally been able to get my breakouts under control with a combination of prescription oral (spironolactone) and topical (tretinoin) treatments. Despite my complexion’s predisposition to greasiness, the tretinoin has led to dryness and light peeling, so I’ve been

It started off like any other day until Sarah Jessica Parker—or “SJ” as she prefers—tells me to “go read a book” instead of worry about aging. We’re meeting to discuss her partnership with RoC Skincare, the science-backed Parisian brand responsible for the actress, producer, and designer’s incredible skin. For the second year in a row,

Dip nails are a real treat, especially considering that most dip powder manicures last three to four weeks. However, when the inevitable day arises, and your dip powder nails have grown out, leaving you in need of their removal, you may wonder, how exactly? Dip powder nails are made of several layers of finely-milled powder,

Following in the footsteps of glazed donut skin, latte eyes, and just-ate-cherries lips, Hailey Bieber’s strawberry makeup is the latest food-themed beauty trend to take over TikTok, amassing over 3.6 billion views in just a few weeks. The makeup trend draws inspiration from the much-loved summer fruit, emphasizing strawberry-flavored and -scented products and a berry-centric

If you take a plane to Paris, then a train to Brest, then a bus to Le Conquet, then a boat to Ouessant, you’ll end up at the edge of the world. Take a bike up a hill and through some grassy fields and finally—finally!—you’ll find yourself in the natural habitat of the Ouessant black

STOP! Put down the comedone extractor. I get it, you want that embarrassing, monstrous trapped-under-the-skin volcano of a zit to go away… like now. But take some advice from somebody who has had many blind pimples and popped a few… that’s not how to do it. Instead, I’ve asked three skin experts: board certified cosmetic

MERIT’s latest beauty launch further proves its minimalist mission. This time, the focus is on the eyes. They are rejecting the 50-shade palette and releasing one pot pigments, called ‘solo shadows’ in 8 matte shades, including four neutrals—Brun (deep brown), MidCentury (warm brown), Vachetta (warm beige), Studio (cool taupe) and four statement shades—Nelson (soft grey),

My 13-year-old daughter, Mia, is learning all the typical middle school stuff, her schooldays taken up by the ho-hum of algebraic equations, cell division, and research papers about historical events. But ask her about the hydrating properties of hyaluronic acid, how kojic acid can help brighten skin, or how color theory can camouflage under-eye circles—and

Sofia Richie Grainge has always been an It-girl. Following her destination wedding to husband Elliott Grainge, fanfare around her wedding makeup by celebrity makeup artist Pati Dubroff brought a new wave of attention to the soft glam favored by Richie Grainge. “I just feel most confident when my skin and hair are healthy,” she tells

Angelina Jolie has sent me a movie. It starts with a steady pan across a cluster of conical plants resembling Marge Simpson’s beehive, an azure sky behind it, and the sound of gently trickling water. A few bees dip in and out of frame, and the camera slowly zooms in on one particularly fat specimen,

Ah, TikTok, the home of everything we hold dear—celebrity gossip, dating advice, try-on hauls, and innovative beauty trends. After hours of mindless doom scrolling, one trend has caught our attention: ombré concealer. With nearly six million views and counting, #ombreundereyes is here to stay, and honestly, we aren’t surprised. From ombré hair to ombré nails,

While Tarte Cosmetics may be known for their larger than life #trippinwithtarte influencer trips, the brand has always focused on giving back—whether it’s honoring health care workers by inviting them to Tarte offices for a gifting suite or ‘Tarte Loves Teachers’ where in 2022, the brand spent $50,000 to clear teachers’ wish lists. However, founder

In the ever-evolving world of scalp health, pumpkin seed oil for hair has emerged as one ingredient users claim dramatically improves density, length, and growth rate of hair. Now rivaling rosemary oil and rice water for the new “it” product, we’re left wondering if pumpkin seed oil can really cause visible hair growth. Pumpkin seed

I’ve impulsively cut my hair more times than I can count. Whenever something minor happened, I would rush to the nearest salon and ask them to do their best. And after the initial thrill wore off, I’d find myself in a “what have I done” fugue state, desperately searching the internet for tips on how

Rebecca Faria has sculpted some of the world’s most familiar bodies in preparation for their highest-profile moments: she was on hand for Sofia Richie’s wedding weekend, prepped Kim Kardashian for the Met Gala, and snatched Jennifer Aniston for her Allure cover. Her expertise? Lymphatic drainage massage, or the practice of coaxing excess water and toxins

Forget the Renaissance visuals—Beyoncé’s focus seems to be on building her beauty empire little by little. Just months after announcing the launch of a hair care line (with no release date yet!), on Wednesday, July 19, curious fans found a dark, cryptic website with an announcement that the singer will be soon releasing an Eau

Summer provides the excuse to shake things up, step outside of our comfort zone, and welcome in a little newness.
