Skincare and makeup routines are simpler, focusing on fewer products that deliver effective results without overly complex steps.

Jennifer Lopez Wears Castlecore Nails on European Tour
Europa Press via Getty Images/Ricardo Rubio Jennifer Lopez kicked off her return to touring by embracing “castlecore” nails — a maximalist, medieval-inspired manicure trend that’s been gaining traction all year.
