Products and Reviews

Kim Kardashian is releasing foundation for your body

Kim Kardashian is launching the new KKW Body Collection, complete with the Skin Perfecting Body Shimmer, Loose Shimmer Powder for Face & Body, Body Brush, and Skin Perfecting Body Make Up Foundation.

Kim Kardashian wants you to start wearing foundation on your body

Kim Kardashian wants you to start using foundation on your body. Yep, that’s right. KKW Beauty’s latest collection is one targeted at the legs, arms, and everywhere else, with the aim to “blur imperfections, enhance skin tone, and provide a flawless finish for any look.”

Kim Kardashian is coming out with a new KKW foundation — and it’s for your body

You can buy everything individually or buy the Skin Perfecting Body Foundation & Brush Duo for $64, the Skin Perfecting Body Shimmer Trio for $100, the Shimmer Powder for Face & Body Trio for $74, and the Complete Body Shimmer & Brush Collection for $200. So set those reminders for June 21 at noon PST, because that’s when the collection drops on kkwbeauty.com.

Pat McGrath enters the foundation game with 36 shades

Described as her “secret to runway radiance,” it’s the first release in the new Pat McGrath complexion trio, which also includes the Sublime Perfection Primer and Setting Powder.

Pat McGrath is about to launch the ultimate foundation system

As Mcgrath told a group of beauty editors that the foundation, primer, and setting powder are a return to this “lab” concept, and she’s dubbed it Skin Fetish: Sublime Perfection The System. In other words, it’s “a foundation system that will enable you to do exactly what we do,” McGrath explains. “Prime, prep, and perfect.”

Pat McGrath just dropped a major new lipstick line

Pat McGrath Labs just launched nine brand-new shades of her disco-ready BlitzTrance lipstick at Selfridges, and the formula has been tweaked to deliver a smoother, creamier finish.

Drunk Elephant just reformulated its best-selling Lala Retro Whipped Moisturizer

“I believe there is always room for improvement,” the brand’s founder, Tiffany Masterson, tells Allure. “When it occurred to me that ceramides needed a more prominent place in my line, I decided to add them to a product that was already great instead of making a whole new product. I didn’t know I could like it [Lala Whipped Retro Cream] more, but I do.”

We put Glossier’s Boy Brow and Brow Flick head to head to see which one creates fuller brows

Glossier just added another essential to its family of makeup and skin care. The Brow Flick ($18) is an eyebrow pen with a brush tip. It dispenses a pigmented ink, making it easy to create fuller, more defined brows with just gentle flicks of your wrist.

Glossier’s latest launch will give you the thicc brows of your dreams

Boy Brow came out four years ago (feel old yet?) and is meant to refine brows rather than add more depth to sparse areas like this new product does. However, the duo work together to give you the complete brow package.

We tried Glossier’s new brow pen, and it’s as good as microblading

“It goes on thin so you can create realistic-looking strokes. And even when I did accidentally go heavy-handed, it’s easy to smudge off. Don’t get it twisted, though: It stays put—all day—after you let it dry.”

Glossier’s new Brow Flick pen creates the look of fuller eyebrows

“I think it’s really important to use it with the pen pointing down and only use the tip of the pen,” Hughes says, adding remarkably realistic marks both below and above her natural brow shape. “If you do it like this, you’ll get really nice, feathery strokes.”

Glossier’s newest product Brow Flick is here

The key ingredients are copolymers, a combination of three water-resistant film formers that make the formula longwearing and superfine pigments, sheer pigmentation for a natural “hair-like” finish.

We put Kylie Jenner’s face wash to the white towel test

“I had low expectations for the Foaming Face Wash, considering Kylie didn’t even properly wash her face in the video, but I was pleasantly surprised.”

Three beauty experts weigh in on what they think of Kylie Skin

A beauty editor tried the collection for two straight weeks and enlisted the help of dermatologists Dhaval Bhanusali, MD, and cosmetic chemist Ni’kita Wilson for their thoughts on each Kylie Skin product.

BH Cosmetics just launched a space-themed makeup collection

The collection was announced earlier this week on the brand’s Instagram and includes two standout products: the Stellar Lash Mascara and the Stellar Collision 17 Eye Shadow and Highlight Palette.

This tool means never making a makeup mess on the back of your hand ever again

The Makeup Hand Palette, by a brand called MakeupBoxLdn, isn’t a palette in the way we so often think of them in the context of beauty these days. Instead of being a set of color-filled pans, it’s more like the old-school definition of a palette — the slab artists use to hold globules of their chosen paint colors.

Skincare and Beauty

Dangerous skin bleaching has become a public health crisis. Corporate marketing lies behind it.

In the past several years, multinational corporations have heavily marketed the idea that lighter skin leads to more prosperity. As a result, dangerous skin bleaching has become a public health crisis, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). In response, the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) recently passed a resolution recommending a regional ban on cosmetics with hydroquinone, a skin-bleaching agent — a ban that looks likely to pass.

Women bypass the gatekeepers of the beauty industry in an era of social media and inclusivity

Why does liking your body — and hating “wellness culture” — still seem so radical?

Bronzers is still a beauty category that is not inclusive for women of color, and we need to talk about it

With all the talks of inclusivity in the beauty industry, I was very confident in my ability to do so. Instead, I was left frustrated, confused, and in search of answers. With all the extensive foundation launches, why haven’t brands put the same energy into making inclusivity an all-around effort?

Celebrities and Interviews

What’s really going on with Jaclyn Hill’s lipsticks?

Here’s everything that has transpired with the controversy.

Jaclyn Hill cosmetics customers are reporting lipsticks with hair and mold in them

On May 30, a collection of nude lipsticks, created by Jaclyn, officially launched to the public, Buzzfeed reported/ Almost immediately, customers took to social media, informing Jaclyn that their lipsticks weren’t arriving as expected.

How Jaclyn Hill’s lipstick scandal could transform the YouTube make-up industry forever

The release of YouTuber Jaclyn Hill’s first lipstick collection sparked outrage across the Internet. Sirena Bergman asks if this will sound the death knell for influencer collaborations.

Jaclyn hill released a Youtube video addressing reports of hair found in her lipstick

In a statement emailed to Teen Vogue from a Jaclyn Cosmetics spokesperson, they confirmed that products “are made with cosmetic industry-standard, FDA compliant ingredients and are produced in an OTC (Over the Counter) compliant factory that is registered with the FDA, providing high degrees of safety standards and rigorous testing. The issues reported over the last several days are related to irregularities in the manufacturing process which are being fixed and do not impact the ingredients, formula, or safety of our products.”

Jojo Siwa issues statement after her Claire’s makeup set was recalled over asbestos concerns

“I just wanted to let you guys know the situation,” JoJo continued. “Thank you for understanding, because it is serious to me, and it means a lot to me. It is my name, my brand, and it is my face — quite literally.”

Jojo Siwa speaks out about her Claire’s makeup set recalled over asbestos concerns

“Claire’s stands behind the safety of this item and all other Claire’s cosmetic items, as such small trace amounts are considered acceptable under European and Canadian cosmetic safety regulations…In addition, last year Claire’s moved to talc-free cosmetic manufacturing to prevent any further concerns about talc contamination. Claire’s also supports increased FDA oversight of personal care products. We will provide a full refund to any customers who purchased the product.”

How Marc Jacobs makes beauty products that turn into cult-favorites

“I love playing with makeup and color, but we’re not stage makeup,” Jacobs tells InStyle of his brand. “We’re a beauty line that you use to create a look, but you as an individual still comes through.”

How Pat McGrath revolutionized the beauty industry

Her experience of coming up in an industry with little representation to relate to or products that worked for her skin tone shaped her guiding principle to create makeup that not only connects with women and men of all shapes, sizes, and genders but to create makeup that empowers the individual.

Supermodel Cindy Crawford calls out ageist trolls who shame her for modelling at 53

“I remember some snarky person on Instagram – there seem to be a lot of those – posted something like, ‘Ah, why are you still doing those at your age?’” Crawford recalled.

Did Pat Mcgrath just miss the mark big time?

McGrath’s small shade range feels like a slap to the face—so why isn’t anyone talking about it? Could it be that no one wants to go after one of the biggest names in beauty, or is it because we’re in a “pick and choose” callout culture?

Creating Emma Chamberlain, the most interesting girl on Youtube

Chamberlain recalls her first few videos—a failed attempt to be a serious beauty vlogger; something with fidget spinners—with a laugh. “Honestly, I was posting videos just to have something to do,” she says. “At the time, yes, it felt like it was for nothing.” The videos got “50 views, max,” she says.

Filipino Actress Janine Tugonon On Hollywood’s Asian Representation

“My first struggle when I moved here was with modeling. Yes, they liked my beauty, but in general, if [brands] get Asian representation, it’s usually [someone who is] Chinese, Japanese, or Korean. Some [models] have darker skin tones, but I feel like [brands] got used to Asians with lighter skin tones. So a lot of the Pacific Islanders, the Asians down in the islands who have darker skin tones, are still not globally known or widely used [in campaigns]”

Lola Lorenzo Mizrahi: ‘I was the first trans Somali makeup artist people saw’

Lola’s is a story of a rising talent in the Somalian beauty industry met with cultural intolerance, transphobia, hate crime and yet transcendence.

This makeup artist says a bride refused to hire her unless she “changes her mind about being gay”

On Wednesday, June 12, Texas-based makeup artist Kristian Cardenas posted screenshots to her Facebook profile in which a bride-to-be is seen showing interest in her services, only to then ask if she’s gay and derogatorily explain why she won’t be hiring her.

This bride told a wedding guest to cover her tattoos and dye her hair a natural color

“Hey so with my wedding, I wanted to ask if you could please make sure your tattoos are covered & and could you maybe fix your hair up so it’s a natural [color]? We’ve put a lot of work into our theme and I’m sorry but your look clashes with it.”

In many African tribes, braided hairstyles were a unique way to identify each tribe. Because of the time it would take people would often take the time to socialize. It began with the elders braiding their children, then the children would watch and learn from them. The tradition of bonding was carried on for generations and quickly made its way across the world. I am honored to share this bonding experience with my own daughter and add another generation of historic traditions.”

Lauren Conrad reveals exactly how she applies her signature winged eyeliner

“To wing the liner out, angle your line towards the end of your eyebrow.” In other words, start your wing in the outer corner of your eye and aim as if you’re going to draw it to meet the outer point of your brow — but don’t actually draw it all the way up. “I tend to stop my wing where my crease ends.”

The Gen Z Celebrities who are trailblazing a new beauty standard

Now more than ever, Gen Z-ers are showcasing their unedited and natural selves on their main feeds, trailblazing a radical new standard for beauty that pushes to celebrate — rather than conceal — flaws and differences.

“It’s crazy how fast we put a ballet together,” Erica tells Teen Vogue, noting that though the company is New York City–based, it tours nationally and internationally throughout the year. “We really start cramming for the spring season in April, and then we’re still rehearsing once it starts in May, because we have nine different productions in the eight weeks we perform.”

Rachel Brosnahan’s skin is like the eclipse: almost too beautiful, too otherworldly to behold, and can cause some serious damage (to, err, my own personal self-esteem) if you look too closely.
