The Best Beauty Moments of 2022 - See Photos
None of us wished to face it. But it needed to occur someday. Serena Williams introduced this yr not that she was retiring (there are few individuals to whom that phrase applies much less) however “evolving away from tennis” to focus on different pursuits. Hundreds of thousands can keep in mind the actual thrill of seeing her take the courtroom at Wimbledon, Roland-Garros, or the Australian Open.
Jessica Alba Home Interview: Bonding Over Face Masks and Bubble Baths
For our June/July issue’s Where the Heart Is portfolio, celebrities and beauty pros share portraits and thoughts while staying at home during the pandemic. Alba (above) is in Los Angeles with her husband, producer Cash Warren, and their three kids, Hayes, Honor, and Haven Warren (above, from left). As told to David DeNicolo. This is kind of all day, every day for us now — in our PJs. This time, as weird and hard and scary as it is for adults, the kids are so happy to have our undivided attention.
Model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley on Red Lipstick, Exercise, and Family
For our June/July issue's Where the Heart Is portfolio, celebrities, and beauty pros share portraits and thoughts while staying at home during the pandemic. Huntington-Whiteley (above) is in Los Angeles with her partner, actor Jason Statham, and their son, Jack. As told to David DeNicolo. I wanted to throw on a red lip [for this photo] because I felt it was bright and happy. I hadn't really worn any makeup for the last three weeks being in isolation. And then I just did a smudgy eye.
Ariana Grande Got a Dramatic New Haircut, and It Looks Stunning
The day has finally come Arianators: Ariana Grande has bid farewell to her long, brunette hair. Perhaps taking her own song, "Thank U, Next" to heart, the pop star has seemingly moved onto the next phase of her life — and did so by sharing a selfie that showed her with shorter hair. Ariana revealed the new shoulder-length haircut (and a bunny-face Instagram filter) to fans on social media.
This Is What Holiday Season Looks Like for Genderqueer Beauty Brand Fluide
Fluide Beauty is helping us reimagine the way we define family, just in time for the most family-centric time of year. On November 13, the brand — which prides itself on aligning closely with LGBTQIA+ rights — released its "Chosen Family" campaign to celebrate the communities people have chosen for themselves. "For Fluide’s first holiday season, we’re going all out to celebrate the people we love.
How Lemonhead LA Changed the Way Adults Use Glitter
At the bottom of the mini backpack I carry with me everywhere, you'll always find a little pot of Lemonhead LA's Houdini Spacepaste, a holographic lavender glitter gel. At any given moment, I'm ready to top my friends' cheekbones with shimmer or show off my favorite beauty product.
Michelle Obama Just Wore Her Natural Curls for the First Time — on the Cover of a Magazine
Stop my heart: Michelle Obama just showed off her natural curls on the cover of a print magazine for the very first time ever. Debuted today, the former First Lady appears on the December/January cover of Essence with her coils on full display. The look was paired with neutral makeup and a white statement suit, allowing her megawatt smile and stunning ringlets to take center stage.
Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle Are Totally Twining With These Matching Updos
It was an updo kind of night for Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton, who celebrated Prince Charles’s 70th birthday in nearly-identical hairstyles. The royal dynamic duo traded their signature hairstyles — Middleton’s wavy blowout and Markle’s messy bun — for something slightly more polished by way of French twists. Middleton's version was slightly more intricate, with coils expertly pinned up the back, while Meghan opted for a simple-yet-chic style with her hair tucked behind her ear.
This is TK and Cipriana Quann's Favorite Foundation Right Now
Normally when we take you behind the scenes of a celebrity getting ready for a big event, it's a very crowded experience. You have the person attending the event, their makeup artist, their hairstylist, their stylist (all of whom probably have at least one assistant) and maybe a manicurist (if they haven't had a chance to head to the nail salon the day before). Not the case with the Quann sisters.
Sunday Riley's Holiday Gift Set Is So Exclusive, Only 1,000 People Will Get to Buy It
Few skin-care brands enjoy the level of dedicated fandom quite like Sunday Riley. The Houston, Texas-based brand is behind many Sephora best-sellers, and any new launch almost always results in metaphorically endless wait lists. And speaking of newness, Sunday Riley's forthcoming set is one that even we, as seasoned beauty editors, weren't prepared for. (More on this in a second.) You may have heard of a little-known product of called Good Genes.
Caroline Wozniacki on the U.S. Open, Competing Against Serena & Life on Fisher Island
After a crippling injury, Caroline Wozniacki could’ve easily given up. But that’s not her style. Instead, the blond stunner rose up the ranks, fell in love and turned into an inspiration to the world.
An Exclusive Look At The World's Most Luxurious Airline's Newest Model
To dream of flying is one thing. But to dream while flying is rare. Dreaming requires a blissful letting go. How do you do that while crammed in a metal tube with hundreds of other humans breathing recirculated air and hurtling through the sky? Yet, for the first time, I did.
Singapore Airlines New First Class Suites - Ultra Luxurious First Class Travel
There’s a kind of luxury arms race going on in the sky. The suites of Singapore Airlines—private, individual pods with indulgent finishes—have been the gold standard of first class air travel for the better part of a decade. Other carriers begin to catch up, offering their own suites or whole “apartments,” vintage champagne, caviar courses, branded amenity kits, even showers and lounges. Now Singapore has an answer.
How Fresh Makes Its Umbrian Clay Purifying Mask
It’s pretty safe to say that the average story about skincare products doesn’t begin with a quote from Mahatma Gandhi. But there is nothing average about Fresh Umbrian Clay. For the founders of the company, Lev Glazman and Alina Roytberg, bringing this ancient ingredient to market and tailoring it to today’s needs has been a kind of spiritual journey, one that has led them back many times to one of the most beautiful and mythic places on earth: Umbria, the green heart of Italy.
Zoë Kravitz Isn't Afraid to Talk About Identity Politics
This month we’ll see another facet in Rough Night, a broad physical comedy about a bachelorette party in Miami gone absurdly off the rails, also starring Scarlett Johansson and Kate McKinnon. “I had so much fun,” she says. “Kate is genius. It’s hard not to laugh in every scene with her. There was definitely this idea behind doing the movie that it’s our turn to do a film like The Hangover where male characters get rowdy and dirty and outrageous.
Brigitte Macron & Emmanuel Macron Love Story - Brigitte Trogneux's Age Difference With the French President
When free-trade centrist Emmanuel Macron defeated far-right nationalist Marine Le Pen last night to become the next president of France, most of Europe (and many here) breathed a huge sigh of relief. Macron is young (39), handsome, undogmatic, a Trump critic and an FOB (friend of Barack). The conventional wisdom seemed to be that it was unmitigated good news that the third largest nuclear arsenal in the world will not be controlled by an anti-immigrant, Putin-loving wing nut.
How Alicia Keys Defines Beauty Is Not How You'd Think
Although our February cover star may be partially responsible for the rise of the #NoMakeup movement from an outside view, Alicia Keys defines beauty in ways that far surpass a hashtag. Here, she answers everything you wanted to know—how she maintains her flawless complexion, beauty lessons she's learned, and even her guilty pleasure. But first, that face. What is your regular skin-care routine?
The Unofficial Style Timeline of Alicia Keys
From a breakout singer with tomboy chic style to embracing a more natural look today, we chart how Alicia Keys style has evolved throughout the years.
Here's How Alicia Keys Actually Feels About Makeup
I decided to ask friends and acquaintances their opinion of Alicia Keys. Polls conducted only among your friends have no real scientific value. You’re basically just surveying a landscape of your own opinions. That’s a lesson we all learned last November. But knowing that I was going to ignore science altogether (hey, I should be writing schoolbooks in Texas! Or environmental policy in the new administration...), I decided to ask them anyway.
5 (Kinda Effortless) Ways to Lose Fat Fast, According to Dermatologists
Efficacious or not, there's lots of ways we've answered the age old, oft-Googled question, "How to lose body fat?" We've banned fat from dinner. We battle to keep it off our stomachs (and thighs). We even avoid clothing that possibly approximates the look of it. But is fat all bad? New science and procedures are making it easier than ever to get rid of fat—or in some cases, use it to our advantage. Fat.
The Trials and Triumphs of Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher
The sad news of Carrie Fisher’s death was compounded this week by the shock of her mother, Hollywood legend Debbie Reynolds, passing away just one day later. If you read it in a script, or saw it in a movie, the medium that defined both, you wouldn’t believe it. Being the daughter of a movie star “was hard for Carrie,” Reynolds told Oprah in an epic 2011 interview with the pair. “In school her teacher would call her Debbie.
Princess Leia Buns: the Iconic Hairstyle's Feminist Legacy
“I’d like to wear my old hairstyle again—but with white hair; I think that would be funny,” Carrie Fisher told TV Guide in 2014. And who could doubt the object of her amusement, those storied side-slung Princess Leia buns? In her long career, Fisher knew how to write and deliver a punch line. She also knew how to wear one, with a sly feminist twist.
Amanda Seyfried Talks Hormonal Acne, Shoulder-Length Hair and Braces
Amanda Seyfried, our November 2016 cover star , lets Allure into her beauty corner. Check out what the Cle? de Peau spokeswoman had to say about all things pretty—and not so pretty, too. When did you cut your hair to its new shoulder length? Last summer. Orlando Pita did it for a Cle? de Peau campaign. What he did was magic. Since then, Garren has cut it, too. Did you ever have skin problems? Fuck yeah. Eczema on my face. It came back a few years ago. I think it was anxiety. My skin is amazing now.
Amanda Seyfried on Her Mental Health, Her Dog, and Those Eyes
On my way to interview Amanda Seyfried, two hours north of Manhattan and two worlds away, there's a quiet hamlet in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains called Stone Ridge. The names of the country roads—Sawkill, Cottekill, Shivertown—seem to be lifted right out of a Washington Irving story. In fact, the writer’s most famous character, Rip Van Winkle, set off on his mysterious day trip not far from this spot.
The Beyoncé Effect
Scientists can try to measure, philosophers to explain, but only poets can understand the magic of Beyoncé's influence on music, dance, fashion, beauty—and pretty much everything else. It's a benign kind of sorcery, and the entire world is drunk in love. The origin of trends can be as divisive a riddle as the origin of species. On the one hand, there are the creationists, who only want to know who did what first (a fact almost always in dispute).
Jessica Alba September 2016 Allure
Enthusiasm is infectious, unstoppable, a primal force of nature. Kind of like malaria. Those of us born with a natural immunity to it are called pessimists—or journalists. (The terms are pretty much interchangeable.) We are adept at spotting the canker in the rose, to paraphrase Shakespeare, and truth be told, we strain to see it even when it's not there.
Jessica Alba Interview Beauty Products
Alba knows what women want in their makeup bags because she knows what she wants: products that do what they say, beautiful colors, safe ingredients, and a reasonable price tag. It's hard to argue with that message—or the bountiful charm of the messenger. What's the first thing you do at your sink in the morning? "Brush my teeth." What has been your most surprising—happily surprising—beauty discovery?
Celebrity Trends: allure.com
The origin of trends can be as divisive a riddle as the origin of species. On the one hand, there are the creationists, who only want to know who did what first (a fact almost always in dispute). On the other hand, there are the evolutionists, who believe that anything that rises to the top of the pop-culture consciousness has passed through a dynamic process of mutation and natural selection.
