Though the first Monday in May has come and gone, there was one trend on the Met Gala red carpet that has continued to stand the test of time: hair jewelry. From Venus Williams’s bejeweled bun to Taraji P. Henson’s gorgeous, floral-accented updo, the hairstyles on the carpet were as dazzling as the gowns. Since then, hair jewelry has continued to bubble up on red carpets and street style aficionados alike, and it’s only expected to get more popular as people continue looking for ways to embrace maximalist aesthetics. “Hair…

If you buy something through our links, we may earn commission. If you’ve spent any time on TikTok in the last few months, you’ve probably watched someone get a color analysis. The trend has been all over social media lately, and recently, I’ve been hard pressed to log into the app without seeing at least one person testing it out. For those unfamiliar, color analysis is essentially just “analyzing” what colors are the most flattering on you by taking into account your hair color, eye color, and your >skin tone and undertone.…

Lala Fitriani’s Journey to Loving Her Hair
I was born in Indonesia and lived there most of my life. In my country, curly hair wasn’t celebrated — in fact, people revered bone-straight styles and still do to this day. So being born with a more wavy texture made me feel like something was inherently wrong with me. I thought my hair was just a frizzier version of everyone else’s so I hated it for a long time. This constant negativity about my natural waves impacted my confidence. Because of this, I started getting keratin treatments. Essentially it was kind of like a perm that kept my hair straight for six months at a time. I did this…

Period-Piece Hair and Makeup Is Unrealistic
You don’t have to be an expert to point out some of the glaring hair and makeup inaccuracies in period films and TV shows. While plenty of historically correct period pieces exist, those with unrealistic beauty choices are hard to ignore. In fact, there seem to be a handful of inaccuracies that pop up again and again — namely, actors looking too polished and “pretty” in situations where it doesn’t make sense. First, it’s worth noting that in some cases, “incorrect” period hair and makeup are done purposefully. Netflix’s hit series “Bridgerton,” for example, has been criticized for its historical inaccuracies, but the show presents a fictionalized version of the…

If you buy something through our links, we may earn commission. I’m a big advocate for wearing sunscreen every. damn. day., but I will also be the first to admit that some formulas simply aren’t enjoyable to apply. The sweet spot is finding an SPF that protects your skin and is something you look forward to putting on, and the new Supergoop Daily Dose Bioretinol + Mineral SPF 40 ($45, originally $48) hits that mark for me. You’re probably well aware of the brand Supergoop and at least one of its many…

Experts Explain How Fragrance Helps Mental Health
Beauty has long been a form of escapism. Whether it’s reading magazines to find out which products celebrities love, watching your favorite content creator do a “Get Ready With Me,” or playing with your favorite makeup just for fun, the transformative effects of being creative with beauty products are unparalleled. Still, there’s one sector of the beauty industry that has proven to have an impact on mental wellbeing but doesn’t get the shine that it truly deserves: perfume. “Fragrance can play a surprisingly positive role in our wellness routines,” says Tasha Bailey, a psychotherapist and the author of “Real Talk: Lessons From Therapy On Healing & Self-Love.” “It can give…

You’ve probably already caught “The Kardashians” clip of Scott Disick recognizing Kim Kardashian’s Skims nipple bra on Khloé and immediately inquiring, “Do you have the new nipple bra on?” “Of course,” Khloé replies. “These are Kim’s nipples on my body.” Naturally, I adopted that very same phrase when I headed out the door with my partner for brunch wearing the one and only Skims Ultimate Nipple Push-Up Bra ($64) in Clay. “These are Kim Kardashian’s nipples on my body!” I shouted with glee as I stood on the sidewalk requesting…

PS Photography | Marisa Petrarca When I find a handbag I love, I wear it constantly, sometimes until I’m teetering on the brink of growing tired of it. To change things up every now and then, I make it a mission to hyper-focus on just one designer handbag per season. During the winter, my trusty companion was the Coach Pillow Tabby Shoulder Bag 20, which featured squishy quilting that made me feel cozy just looking at it. When spring came, my obsession shifted to my beloved Staud Leather Moon Bag,…
