Although I love my arsenal of tinted lip balms and lip oils, I miss sporting a bolder, pigmented lip that doesn’t require me to reapply constantly. Without a flush of color, my lips look washed out, and it’s not a good look. I’m that person who has to halt a selfie to apply a lip product before the photo opp, and I carry at least three different…

Black Women Athletes Are Changing Beauty Ideals in Olympics
Professional athletics and beauty have never been mutually exclusive. Whether it’s the bright lipstick and long nails worn by the iconic track star Florence Griffith Joyner or the glamorous and long-wearing makeup seen on WNBA players, athletes have always found ways to express themselves through hair, clothing, and accessories — to an extent. Unfortunately, complete freedom of this kind of expression isn’t always granted to Black athletes, especially if they are Black women. For years, the appearance of Black women athletes has been under surveillance and picked apart by the public: being a “palatable” Black person has been a means for survival for centuries. Enslaved women would be forced to…

Tattoo Cover-Ups: Ideas, Cost, and Scar Solutions
Tattoos can be really great: they allow you to express yourself, honor someone or something special, or represent who you are as a person. Tattoos can also go wrong. Ever made a hasty decision on a design you ended up not liking, seen an artist that was less qualified than you realized, or (most common of all) gotten a tattoo for or with someone who’s no longer in your life? That’s where tattoo cover-ups come in. Laser tattoo removal is one option for getting rid of unwanted ink, but it can be expensive, not to mention painful. Instead, many people opt to simply have their tattoo covered by a new…

Beauty Shopping Addictions Explained by a Psychologist
There is a trend going around on TikTok aptly named “underconsumption-core.” In these videos, influencers discuss how they either plan to or are actively cutting back on their spending, particularly as it pertains to fashion and beauty. For the latter category, people are going as far as starting “project pans,” where they set aside a particular number of products every month, in hopes of using them enough that they start to see the bottom of the makeup’s container. “I don’t think there’s anyone who has a ton of makeup that’s happy with the amount of product that they have,” TikToker Elysia Berman, who is on a no-buy, where she doesn’t…
