June 24, 2021 at 06:00AM I have a confession to make: While I’m more than happy to press expensive moisturisers or luxurious eye shadow palettes into the hands of friends and family, when it comes to makeup brushes, I’m something of a hoarder. Yes, despite being basically unskilled in the art of

June 22, 2021 at 06:00AM As a beauty editor there is nothing that gets my heart racing more than hearing the news that a particularly buzzy beauty brand is crossing the Atlantic to arrive on UK soil. With much-hyped names like Glossier and Drunk Elephant leading the way, there’s no doubt that accessibility to international beauty brands has come

June 10, 2021 at 08:00AM “Benjamin Buttoning.” Ageing backwards. Stopping time. If there’s one effect or buzzword that elicits the same visceral reaction from beauty editors, skincare experts, and customers alike, it’s anything with the term anti-ageing in it. The truth of the matter is this: There’s no miracle cream, gel, serum

June 09, 2021 at 06:00AM At last, summer has arrived and while the return of sunnier days usually has me ditching the contents of my makeup bag in favour of tinted moisturisers and lip balms, the easing of lockdown restrictions means that I’m actually raring to play with new products this season. In fact, after

June 02, 2021 at 08:00AM If you’ve ever had someone say to your face, “You look tired,” you know how irksome and annoying it can be. The phrase might seem well-meaning and empathetic, but I already feel exhausted, so I don’t need extra confirmation from an outside source. Yeah, I’m tired.

May 23, 2021 at 08:00AM Anyone who knows me will tell you that my makeup skills are lacking. I only managed to do my first-ever successful winged liner last year, and I have absolutely no idea where half the products I own are actually supposed to be applied. However, while I might not be

May 23, 2021 at 06:30AM When it comes to natural-looking, understated makeup, French girls know exactly what they’re doing. And considering the country’s centuries-old ties with cosmetics and makeup, it’s no wonder. While the rest of the world has spent the past ten years learning how to contour, create a cut-crease

May 22, 2021 at 06:00AM The last calendar year has changed a lot about our beauty practices. From co-signing more low-maintenance hair choices to adopting mask-friendly makeup and carrying out more at-home beauty treatments than ever before, we’ve amended every aspect of our hair, makeup, skincare, and nail routines to suit our socially distanced

May 18, 2021 at 06:00AM Black culture has informed and inspired the beauty space for decades—a fact that we need to celebrate and sustain. Now and forever. That’s why supporting the Black community and Black-owned businesses is important right now and going forwards. There is a need and an opportunity to supply

May 15, 2021 at 06:00AM As many of us continue to work from home, the reality is we’re seeing our own faces a lot more. Even if you’re a mostly camera-off kind of queen (I applaud you!), there are still so many instances where showing your face is a must.

May 12, 2021 at 06:00AM Out of all of the things we’ve had to forgo recently, the one beauty ritual I’ve missed the most is without a doubt applying makeup every morning. On any normal day, I’d say that I take no great joy out of applying my makeup. In fact, I’d

May 09, 2021 at 06:53AM Confession: I have a bit of an ambivalent relationship with beauty. Having worked in magazine journalism for around 8 years, I’ve been exposed to the inner workings of this lucrative industry, and even now, as I watch it from the safety of my fashion bubble, it can feel

May 09, 2021 at 06:00AM These days, the mark of a truly iconic beauty brand is some level of TikTok fame. From prestige picks to affordable drugstore ones, the makeup community on the popular app wastes no time identifying its favourite products, sharing the good news, and promptly causing said products to

May 05, 2021 at 06:00AM If you’ve ever wanted to know what’s really inside the makeup bags of the most stylish women in the industry, you’re in luck. We’ve created a new column—Inside My Makeup Bag—to uncover the beauty products our fashion friends genuinely keep in their daily rotation and how

April 28, 2021 at 06:02AM Is it just us, or is applying heavy makeup the last thing you want to do at the moment? Not only it time-consuming, but it seems wasteful to use up our makeup reserves when we’re not venturing out as much as we normally would be. But what
