Acid exfoliators come in wide varieties and strengths—some are quite intense and need to be incorporated into your routine slowly (glycolic acid, I’m looking at you) and others are gentle enough to be used on the most sensitive skin types. Ultimately, though, they all have the same goal: to slough away dead skin cells and…
Anyone with curly hair will know that not all hairdressers are created equal. Finding the ideal haircut for your hair type and texture can be particularly tricky when it’s not pin straight, so it pays to know a thing or two about haircuts for curly hair before sitting down in the salon chair. “From coils…
I’ve never been one to fake tan regularly, but one thing I have always committed to is using a tanning mist several times a week. Even when the rest of my body is pale and dull, a few spritzes of a liquid tan across my face works small miracles. It’s the one step that always…
Concealer certainly isn’t the most exciting makeup category, and I’ve never really been blown away by one before. However, most of us wear it in our everyday routines, and so the search for the best concealer is something that many take very seriously. When I got my hands on the new MAC Studio Fix 36HR…
If you’re caught between a bob and longer lengths, the collarbone-skimming ‘clavi cut’ makes that in-between phase feel entirely deliberate. Skimming the collarbone (or clavicle), it’s become the go-to look for that cool-but-undone finish flooding TikTok—and on the red carpet, too. From Kim Kardashian’s almost-grunge take and Kirsten Dunst’s softer, vintage version to Victoria Beckham’s…
Once upon a time, natural beauty was ultimately defined by what it left out. Parabens, silicones, sulphates—entire routines were built around avoidance, rather than performance. For those seeking a particular lifestyle like veganism, side-stepping certain ingredients made sense and was a testament to an industry trying to be as inclusive as possible. But for a…
The bob has been circling back into favour for a while now, but this season it’s had a subtle, grown-up upgrade. The contoured bob, as seen on Gigi Hadid and Grace Abrams, is less rigid than its classic predecessors and far more tailored; this is the cut fashion insiders are gravitating towards. Think soft shape,…
I always thought I was pretty on top of things when it came to my skincare. After all, as a beauty writer, I get to test huge amounts of new skincare products day in, day out. So I didn’t expect a new addition, especially one I’d previously deemed unnecessary, to completely revolutionise my routine and…
If sunscreen isn’t already a non-negotiable in your skincare routine, then let spring’s arrival be your sign, with the (hopefully) sunnier days meaning we’ll all be shedding our winter layers and spending some more time outdoors. And that means that SPF isn’t optional, it’s essential to keeping your skin healthy and protected in the brighter…
Traditionally, fragrance has been what I’d describe as an olfactory coat—overpowering, a statement piece, announcing your arrival and presence in a room before you’ve even muttered a word. But that is beginning to shift, and one country leading this change in how we wear scent is South Korea. K-beauty has already redefined the global beauty…
