I’ve been really focused on finding products that feel good for my skin, while still giving me the glow and coverage I want. Transparently, I’m also just not the kind of person who wants to switch to a completely new routine every week. I’ve spent a lot of time researching clean brands, trying products, and really curating what works for me so I can fin…

For (and from) the girl who doesn’t really wear makeup.

Hey, Glams!

Business of Fashion ran a piece this week calling lilac beauty's new nude, and the number under the headline is the interesting part. Fresha, the booking marketplace a lot of salons run on, reported searches for purple makeup up 229 percent in a month. The color came off the Fall/Winter 2026 runways at Carolina Herrera, Balenciaga and Khaite, and Pat Mc…

Joji Tani died on February 10. His family put out the announcement on August 16, six months later, and most of the horror and makeup world found out then. He was 69. Most of us knew him as Screaming Mad George.

Berkleigh Mezzanotte is a sports reporter and broadcaster originally from Maryland but grew up in Florence, South Carolina. “I’ve always had sports in my life. My dad and grandfather both played baseball, so sports were very much a part of my family growing up. I played softball myself from eighth grade through my freshman year of college, so I’ve alway…

An American Werewolf in London opened on August 21, 1981, and forty-five years later it still settles arguments about my trade. John Landis wrote and directed it, David Naughton and Griffin Dunne carried it, and Rick Baker built the makeup FX that made it famous. The reason it still matters isn't nostalgia. The reason: the Academy had no competitive Bes…

After years of researching the beauty rituals of history’s most beautiful ancient princesses, I thought it would be fun to make you a cheatsheet of not only the best ones, but also the ones that kept recurring across different princesses’ routines around the world & are now backed by modern science.

Growing up in the 90s, I had a very different introduction to makeup than my 25 year old daughter who was a teenager in the era of YouTube tutorials.

There’s one question I get asked more than literally anything else: “what’s in your kit?”

Netflix ran an ending-explainer on The Last House on August 11, and buried under the mythology talk is a production note worth reading twice. Production designer Kevin Jenkins told Tudum the tank came first. “We knew we were going to put this in a tank,” he said, “so one of the early conversations that Louis and I had was we wanted to do a practical cre…

Andrea Brändli is 29 years old and originally from Kloten, Switzerland. Sports have always been a huge part of her life. Growing up, she did figure skating and horseback riding alongside ice hockey before eventually deciding to focus on hockey fully.

What Is Target Beauty Studio?

Cosmo readers have really strong opinions about their favorite beauty products. It was one of the first things I learned when I became Cosmo’s beauty editor four years ago, just before we launched our first-ever Readers’ Choice Beauty Awards in 2022. Every year, we put out a massive survey for readers to vote on and pick their favorite products. It’s so…

I will be the first one to say that the beauty industry is a deeply double-edged sword. On one hand, it literally got started by ads to encourage women to feel bad about themselves so that they could get a good husband.

Whether I’m heading to an overnight stay or a two-week getaway, you’d never know it by my packing habits.

There is a particular kind of liberal feminist rhetoric that insists women’s choices must always be treated as completely autonomous. “I do it for myself, not men” has become the ultimate trump card. The woman who gets fillers, wears uncomfortable shoes, spends hours doing her hair, gets cosmetic surgery, or meticulously performs femininity is expected …

Lynski traces her own creativity back to a few specific threads: the first time she saw her own face transformed by makeup, the powerful women she grew up around in 1990s Latvia, and her enduring love of the colour red. These have shaped how she approaches image-making ever since, treating it as a form of transformation, moving fluidly between physical …

As someone with fair, cool toned skin, I’m not buying into the idea that we can all start with the same neutral canvas.

I wasn’t planning on having this sale be the subject of this week’s post, but as I began diving into ULTA’s 21+ Days of Beauty Event (which started on the 28th) I realized there are so many items on there that I’ve tried and have opinions about. So here we go!

Aside from my morning skincare routine, if there’s one thing that makes me feel like me every day, it’s taking five minutes (or less!) to apply a little bit of makeup. Nothing major - just a few products to pick me up and help me face the day.
