Instagram@adrianalima via Ysa Perez In a world where many models claim their beauty secret involves “just drinking a lot of water,” and that they love “eating a burger once in a while,” it’s refreshing when someone like Adriana Lima heads to Instagram to get candid about all the measures she takes, sharing sweaty selfies after

Lana Condor used New York Fashion Week as an excuse to debut a brand new hairstyle. Condor showed up at Prabal Gurung’s fall/winter 2019 fashion show on Sunday with new blunt bangs framing her face. The fringe makes her look almost unrecognizable: Getty ImagesMichael Stewart Condor’s signature look before getting bangs was her wavy bob.

Instagram/@songofstyle via Sophia Li It’s time to dig up your stash of Goody because barrettes, the hair accessory from your childhood, are making a comeback. New York Fashion Week attendees have anointed them the “it” accessory to wear. From traditional snap clips (a trend we started seeing in 2018), to bejeweled worded clips that say

When Instagram first debuted in 2010, people welcomed the democratic, visual platform enthusiastically. Anyone who took pretty pictures could rise to fame. Any business with aesthetic branding could explode on e-commerce. For beauty brands, however, it’s become clear that mastering the platform is far more complex, involving a dizzying set of decisions before clicking “share.”

CHRIS COLLS Sun protection is a must for your skin and your hair. “Hair could be compared to a beautiful piece of fruit, having an outside ‘skin’ like the hair’s cuticle to protect it. Once the outside of either gets damaged, the inside loses its excellence,” says Kate Reid, editorial colorist and Design Director of

Cushnie Cushnie’s models walked the runway in monochromatic look, with the eyes, cheeks, and lips all in matching terra cotta. Makeup artist Grace Lee said she was inspired by a “’70s vibe” and used a mix of two lipstick shades—Maybelline’s Color Sensational Made for All Lipstick in Mauve for Me and Spice for Me—as eyeshadow

Don’t tell Ariana Grande, but the high ponytail is dead. At least, that’s the case according to New York Fashion Week Fall 2019. So far, we’ve seen countless runways shows with models in low ponies and it seems to signal that the tight, high, “snatched,” ponytail trend popularized by celebrity hair stylists like Chris Appleton

Art by Mia Feitel There’s an unspoken rule on dating apps that says if you don’t meet the person you’re talking to within a week, it’s never going to happen. Someone’s leaving tomorrow to go solo backpacking for the month but will hit you up when they’re back? Forget about it. You have to “figure

I am very, very particular about my eyebrows. I never let anyone touch them. Not makeup artists (I always ask to do my own). Not threaders. Not waxers. I tweeze them myself with a light hand. When a renowned celebrity brow shaper from LA was coming to New York recently, however, I decided to break

Backstage at Brandon Maxwell was the usual craziness: Frantic blow dries, speed-raced manicures, and makeup brushes brandished. Amidst it all, Bella Hadid had a novel way to zen out. We spotted her playing hairstylist to her childhood friend Ally Aflalo, slicking her thick, wavy hair into a runway-ready ponytail using a boar bristle brush and

Ariana Grande’s extra long, high ponytail has become such a signature look for her that it can practically be considered a fifth limb. She’s rarely seen not wearing one—and if she does have her hair down, it’s always straight and butt-length. In reality, underneath all the extensions and styling, her natural hair is actually short

Christian Siriano Lead hair stylist Justine Marjan had an innovative take on the low ponytail, adorning it with cascading silver chains. To secure the chains, she had a hidden cornrow going across the crown of the head so they could easily clip in. For extra shine, she used TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Shine Serum. TRESemmé Keratin

Kim Kardashian may be a makeup mogul, but it’s no secret she’s also a skincare junkie. She regularly documents her facials, talks about her favorite serums, and does full pro-level prep on her skin before any KKW Beauty products even hit her face. Last night, her makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic told us a little more

Courtesy Burt’s Bees Raise your hand if you’ve ever come to work after a trip, turned off your out-of-office message, then said to your cubicle neighbor: “I need a vacation from my vacation!” Yep, we’ve been there, too.

“What if instead of wanting to be perfect, we tried to be better?” asks Ruthie Friedlander. She’s talking about the fashion industry, but really, she could be talking about our daily lives—how we can constantly critique our bodies, our faces, our failures. As Friedlander—a former ELLE.com editor—knows, those damnations double down at Fashion Week. From
