1970s, ’80s and ’90s kids will recall that there was nothing more electrifying than the novelty of slipping on their mood ring each morning and watching its stone change hues before their very eyes. Today, Gen Z has discovered the wonder of colour-changing products via makeup — an extension of the customization trend that has permeated the beauty industry over the past several years. Colour-changing makeup products (typically lipstick and blush) are pH-activated and powered by a chemical reaction between the product’s ingredients and the wearer’s skin. What could be more customized than that?

RELATED: The Spring 2023 Beauty Trends to Wear Now

“pH is the measure of how acidic an environment is,” explains Alessandro Mendes, vice-president of research and innovation at Cosmetica Laboratories Inc. in Toronto. The level of acidity in anything, from our skin to a swimming pool, can be determined using the scientific scale of pH, which ranges from 0 to 14 (with 0 being the most acidic and 14 being the most basic). Healthy skin naturally stabilizes around the 5 to 5.5 mark.

What causes the colour-changing phenomenon in makeup products is the interaction between skin and an ingredient called bromo acid dye, a type of pigment commonly used in these products. The pH level of the skin that this dye is exposed to upon application determines the shade.

What causes the colour-changing phenomenon in makeup products is the interaction between skin and an ingredient called bromo acid dye.

“When you have a product that looks transparent or translucent in its packaging, for instance, it means that the level of pigment we can see with our eyes is very low,” says Mendes. “The reason we don’t see it until it’s applied is that the pH of the product is higher than the skin’s level of 5.5.” When the two come into contact, the pH levels react to each other, forming a shade that’s unique to the wearer.

Since the pH of everyone’s skin is generally around the same level, getting different hues from person to person relies on a few other factors, too. These include complexion shade, where on the face the product is applied (for example, the pH of the skin on our lips is higher than on the rest of our face) and even how dry or hydrated the skin is. While the differences in the shades and intensity of pH-adapting makeup from person to person may be subtle to the naked eye, as far as unique-to-each-wearer makeup goes, colour-changing products may just be customizable beauty’s final frontier.

Below, discover some of the hottest shade-changing lip products to join in on the fun.

Right in time for summer, Laneige has added these two new tropical flavours to their best-selling lip product lineup and we’re obsessed. To keep your pout hydrated all season long, these lip masks are formulated with a nourishing blend of berry fruit complex, smoothing Vitamin C, and moisturizing coconut oil that sounds like the perfect summer smoothie…for your lips, of course.

Featuring 24 hues that range from butter yellow to Barbie pink, this collection houses a shade of nail polish for every mood and moment imaginable. To create this colour palette and give each shade a sense of character, the French beauty brand honed in on the development of five main colour families. Whether you’re seeking colours that energize, soothe, bring joy, disrupt, or provide strength, these polishes allow you to express yourself and show your true colours however you see fit. In addition, the collection also includes a limited-edition manicure set that features two exclusive sheets of nail stickers full of iconic Chanel logos. Not a want, but a need.

In a world where mermaidcore is thriving, Maison Francis Kurkdjian is riding the wave. The beloved fragrance brand is expanding its Aqua fragrance line with the fourth launch within the collection— a fresh, new eau de parfum named Aqua Media Cologne forte. Aptly deriving its name from the Latin word for middle, Aqua Media represents the middle point between light and freshness. Its glimmering bottle is inspired by the shade of green that appears at the centre of a rainbow prism, brought on by a combination of water and sunlight. With key notes of Calabrian bergamot, verbena accord, and woody musks, this fragrance leaves behind a fresh, citrusy aroma fit for summertime.

This summer, our beauty goal is to channel pop-star energy. In other words, we need our makeup to be as transfer-, water-, and smudge-proof as Taylor Swift‘s Eras Tour glam.

RELATED: The Best New Face Sunscreens To Add to Your Summer Skin Routine

Though Swift hasn’t brought her highly-anticipated tour north of the border just yet, TikTok has given us front-row access to her concerts across the United States where her on-stage makeup has survived sweat and rain without a single budge. Her mascara? Fully intact. Her iconic red lip (which is reportedly Pat McGrath’s LiquiLUST Lipstick in Elson 4)? It doesn’t move. And with temperatures across Canada heating up as we’ve officially entered the month of June, we’re going to need our beauty routines to be on her level.

To help you get through the hot girl summer (literally) that lies ahead, we’ve rounded up 10 pool party-approved products designed to survive the heat so your makeup won’t melt away. Below, swipe through our top picks from waterproof mascaras to smudge-proof lippies we think you’ll love.

Sephora Canada invites you to immerse yourself in the world of Sephora Illumination, for one week only

This week in Toronto, local media and beauty influencers gathered to witness the unveiling of Sephora Canada’s new interactive installation: Sephora Illumination, powered by Colour iQ. Designed using over 140,000 shades of Canadian skin tones acquired through the use of Sephora’s Colour iQ technology, the installation aims to showcase the diversity of beauty across the country. Triggered by movement, Sephora Illumination displays thousands of animated skin-toned particles that swirl in mesmerizing formations to deliver a one-of-a-kind visual experience to each observer.

At the unveiling on May 24, beauty brand founders Danessa Myricks of her eponymous label and Basma Hameed of Basma Beauty engaged in an inspiring panel discussion about their paths to breaking into the beauty industry as women of colour. Both women — whose brands are available in Sephora — seek to cater to all skin tones and types in their product portfolios, making them and their work the perfect embodiment of the diversity reflected in the installation.

“The fact that somebody is recognizing that [all of] these skin tones exist is the first really big statement,” Myricks shared with FASHION on the power of the Colour iQ service that fuelled the instillation. “If I think about my journey through beauty and how much easier it would’ve been for me to just walk into a store where somebody could just scan me and tell me all of the things in the building that worked for me — I think that’s genius.”

If you’re in Toronto, you can head to 100 Bloor Street West (right across the street from the Sephora Canada store) between the hours of 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. from now until June 1 to check out the installation for yourself, at no cost. Plus, Sephora Canada advisors will be on-site providing Colour iQ shade matches (which are also available in Sephora stores) to all visitors. Run, don’t walk!

Saie Beauty Glow Sculpt is here

Combining everything we love about blush and highlighter into one conveniently refillable compact, Saie Beauty just dropped Glow Sculpt. Within this product, colourful bursts of blush meet smooth micro-pearl particles to deliver a weightless glow that has just the right amount of pigment. Available in five shades, you can play with colours across the spectrum from cool pinks to rich bronze shades in the same areas you’d apply your blush or highlight. Accompanying this launch is a brand-new dual-ended makeup brush called The Double Brush, which goes hand-in-hand with your new Glow Sculpt.

Glow Recipe launches a plumping lip gloss balm

Why choose between lip gloss and lip balm when you can have both? Glow Recipe’s latest Plum Plump Hyaluronic Gloss Balm is the best of both worlds. This lip-loving formula is formulated with antioxidant-rich ingredients like vitamin C packed kakadu plum, hydration hero hyaluronic acid, and soothing raspberry. Whether you use it as lip prep, a lip treatment, or on top of your favourite liner, this product will keep your lips juicy and glossy all day long.

The Cure Skincare releases its first-ever face and eye cream

Canadian beauty brand The Cure Skincare has an enticing product lineup full of clean, vegan, and genderless skincare made out east in Nova Scotia, and they’ve just added their first-ever face and eye cream to the collection. Harnessing the power of coffee seed extract at the base of its formula, this cream brightens skin while also drawing upon hyaluronic acid and the brand’s star Irish sea moss ingredients to help plump up, refine, and hydrate your complexion.

Grown Alchemist revamps an original formula

Since Grown Alchemist sought out to rework their original Detox Serum formula, the final outcome is a stronger, creamier new serum named the Skin Renewal Serum. Hydration levels and reparative benefits have been amped up thanks to hyaluronic acid and peptides, as well as five more active ingredients than the OG formula. A supercharging treat for our skin, this serum is clinically proven to strengthen the skin barrier by up to 27 per cent in just 12 hours, and 36 per cent in a month of use. We’re liking the sound of those numbers.

Cardea AuSet drops a floral face mask fit for spring

Flowers aren’t the only thing in bloom this month! Cardea AuSet just announced the release of a hydrating floral mask named Bloom that sounds like a spring skincare staple. Coming from a brand already known for its plant-based products, this face mask is a seamless addition to the collection. And what would a plant-powered face mask named Bloom be without a little rose oil? This star ingredient keeps the skin barrier nourished and looking radiant as a fresh flower.

To bang, or not to bang — that is always the question.

Bangs often get a bad rap. It’s easy to get scissor-happy and snip away at our fringe until it winds up too short…or in a regrettable bowl cut. You either love ’em or hate ’em, but there’s no denying a solid set of bangs when you spot them.

This summer, when it comes to bangs our vote is a resounding yes — and it appears that celebrities on the 2023 Cannes Film Festival red carpet, from Dua Lipa to Blackpink’s Rosé, are in agreement. At the star-studded two-week-long event, we’ve witnessed plenty of things worth mentioning: the return of exposed bras, Jennifer Lawrence in flip-flops, Elle Fanning in her slay era — and bangs. Lots and lots of bangs, of all kinds.

From chic micro-bangs to full-on fringes, we present to you the best bang hairstyles worn by your favourite stars at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.

Dua Lipa

A post shared by Pierre Mouton (@pierre__mouton)


For her Cannes debut, Dua Lipa walked the red carpet with jet-black, piece-y bangs that swept over her eyes and down all the way to her jawline. Stylist to the stars Rio Sreedharan sculpted Lipa’s cool-girl fringe as part of a deliberately undone French twist updo. When in Cannes, ’do as the French ’do, non?

Naomi Campbell

Naomi Campbell has never been one to shy away from a bang, and we’re grateful for it. This supermodel brought her signature black bangs to Cannes, and they were as blunt as ever, falling just beneath her eyebrows. The stylist responsible? Lorenzo Barcella, who often collaborates with Naomi to craft long lengths and avant-garde haircuts for major editorial moments.

Rosé

To mark her first time at the Cannes film festival, Blackpink’s Rosé unveiled a cutesy set of rose gold (ha!) tinted micro-bangs. In an Instagram post by the K-pop star, we get a behind-the-scenes look at hairstylist Lee Seon-Yeong at work during the application process of what appears to be a clip-in bang — which is the perfect alternative to taking the plunge and snipping away at your natural hair.

Sabrina Elba

A post shared by @jdebruynemakeup


Opting for a full-on and fanned-out fringe, Sabrina Elba wowed us with this bold look. Also styled by the aforementioned Sreedharan — whose expertise is clearly a hot commodity in Cannes — we loved the way Elba’s brow-grazing bangs transitioned into an elaborately crafted spiked-out bun. Sophisticated bangs in the front, party in the back.

Creative visionary Nadia Lee Cohen stepped out with a fiery fringe peeking through the hood of her slinky Saint Laurent gown. Behind the style, Gonn Kinoshita worked to shape Cohen’s copper hair into a baby bang and a face-framing curl. “76th Cannes but my first!” writes Cohen in another Instagram post. With hair this good, we’re sure it won’t be her last.

Gemma Chan

A post shared by Gemma Chan (@gemmachan)


This year at Cannes, international L’Oréal Paris hair artist and expert Stephane Lancien had a case of bang fever. His bang-wearing Cannes clientele included Aja Naomi King, Luma Grothe, and Gemma Chan. Chan was a ray of light on the red carpet in a white full-length Louis Vuitton gown that juxtaposed her choppy, forehead-covering bangs (which were also clip-ins!).

Grace Elizabeth

A post shared by Grace Elizabeth ♡ (@lovegrace_e)


With a tousled set of curly black bangs, former Victoria’s Secret model Grace Elizabeth was a vision of Old Hollywood beauty. For this hairstyle carried out by global hair artist Aleksandra Sasha Nesterchuk, the top model’s pixie cut was transformed by plucking out pieces at the front of the head and creating individual C-shaped curls. Forget Barbie, this look was giving Betty Boop.

With Sofia Richie Grainge’s wedding kicking things off and a slew of bride-coded looks coming out of the Met Gala earlier this month, we’re officially declaring bridal season in full swing!

From the moment a bride-to-be first slips on an engagement ring, there’s much work to be done. A date must be locked in, wedding venues must be secured, a dream dress has to be acquired, and so on and so forth. This includes, of course, planning your hair and makeup. In an effort to lighten your load, why not turn to TikTok to guide the way? After all, you already use the platform to pick up useful beauty tips and tricks. Why not use it to source bridal beauty inspo?

Ahead, we’ve rounded up six TikTok accounts at the intersection of #beautytok and #weddingtok to inspire your bridal beauty moment, from ethereal hair to elegant makeup this season.

The post Have You Spotted These Beauty Product Easter Eggs in <em>Succession</em>? appeared first on FASHION Magazine.

This article was originally published on April 12, 2023 and has been updated. 

Of all the things that Succession‘s Roy family does best — plotting, scheming, arguing, and being the absolute worst in the very best way — this fictional empire is particularly ace at displaying their wealth through acts of quiet luxury dressing. But a closer look at the beauty products they use proves that the concept of stealth wealth is not exclusive to their fashions.

RELATED: How to Achieve the Quiet Luxury Look On a Budget

In a recent scroll through TikTok, I stumbled upon a video from the @classofpalmbeach account where stylish subjects and socialites in the area are interviewed about their outfits. In the comments, one user writes, “It’s always fascinating to me how obvious it is when someone is rich… the glow lol.” Although the video was full of high-end fashion labels and stylistic details, what truly seemed to signify wealth to this commenter was the rich “glow” radiating through the screen.

It’s a luxury in and of itself to be unconcerned with common struggles like acne or split ends. For an affluent family like the Roys, thousand-dollar procedures and high-end skincare regimens will do all the work, so they can simply spend the dosh and be done with it. Skin that requires minimal makeup is the ultimate luxury, after all. There is no flashy symbol that suggests you’re wearing a $400 face cream, or a blaring signal that shows your hair has been styled with a product formulated by a celebrity stylist, yet there they are. There is only the rich glow.

To determine what it is that gives the Roys such an air of stealth wealth as it pertains to beauty, we’ve done a little sleuthing. We’ve observed and tracked down some of the high-end beauty products that appear in the background throughout the series.

A post shared by Succession (@succession)

Toward the end of the first episode of season 3, we find baby brother Roman (Kieran Culkin) pacing in a private airplane bathroom as he pleads for power over the phone with his father Logan (Brian Cox).  In the background, a treasure trove of luxury beauty products is stocked on the shelves. First, there’s a bottle of salon-worthy and widely coveted Olaplex — which we’ve deduced is likely the brand’s No. 6 Bond Smoother hair styling treatment (thanks to the signature copper stripe across the bottle). On the same shelf, we see what appears to be a green product box of Origins skincare — potentially from its Mega-Mushroom skincare made in collaboration with celebrity Dr. Andrew Weil, and formulated with traditional plants, mushrooms, and herbs to optimize skin health and reduce stress (which is much needed in this family).

A couple of clips later, the celebrity product sightings continue when a lineup of Ouai hair products (A-list hairstylist Jen Atkin’s line) comes into view. A trio of the brand’s Detox Shampoo, and what we presume to be their leave-in conditioner treatment and super dry shampoo are neatly arranged on the shelf, in such plain sight that Atkin herself pointed out the feature on her Instagram story writing, “I am dead!!!! I love this show so much!” The mere implication that there is even an option to shower and wash your hair on the plane — much less with a high-end collection of beauty products lining the shelves of the plane bathroom — is a subtle brag about wealth, and a luxury few can afford. So what if the flight is hardly long enough for a full hair and skin routine? The point isn’t whether or not they use them, just that they’re there.

Later on that season, in episode 3, we catch a glimpse of Kendall’s (Jeremy Strong) bathroom sink, where a casual $385 skincare product rests, proving one of two things. Number one: though Kendall may undergo periods of feeling like his life is in shambles (when he’s not on a power trip), there is always the option of ensuring that at the very least, he can keep his skin in check. Or two: that he can afford to disregard a $385 cream when his life is in said shambles. The product in question? Augustinus Bader’s aptly titled The Rich Cream or its lighter companion The Cream — but knowing Kendall, he likely opted for the former, solely because of its name. Either way, this product will run you almost four hundred dollars. In return you get its patented TFC8 (Trigger Factor Complex) technology which nourishes skin while supporting cellular renewal.

Loved by Hollywood’s elite (Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Aniston, Margot Robbie, etc), Augustinus Bader is the German label that oozes quiet luxury. It’s something of an “if you know, you know” brand — instantly identifiable by its cobalt blue and copper-bodied packaging, but only if you’re a skincare aficionado. Or part of the upper echelon who actually uses it. What’s more, the meeting that led to the success of this eponymous brand reportedly took place at a billionaire’s dinner party where Bader met a Paris-based investor named Charles Rosier, who would become co-founder of the brand. And we wouldn’t assume that Kendall would use anything less than a product founded by a fellow member of a billionaire’s circle.

As for billionaire scion and Roy sister Shiv (Sarah Snook), there’s been a recent uptick in the internet’s interest in her beauty routine. One writer surmised that she’d have to be a “Dr. Barabara Sturm girl”. In a viral Into The Gloss post where each character was compared to a beauty product, Shiv was assigned Clinique’s Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion. But alas, during season 4’s premiere episode, we’re placed in Shiv and Tom’s shared pre-divorce bedroom where an unmistakable tub of Tatcha’s $91 Dewy Skin Cream moisturizer is in clear view atop her dresser. As it turns out, Tatcha’s Japanese-inspired skincare line is Shiv’s brand of choice. This puts her in a class with real-life billionaire Kim Kardashian and former royalty Meghan Markle, who have been said to use these products. We think Shiv is a fitting addition to this crew. On the same dresser, a small silver tube sealed by a black lid that could possibly be a L’Occitane hand cream lies. Understated, yet still expensive, making it a suitable candidate for quiet luxury beauty.

In the penultimate episode of season four, the skincare saga continues. At the beginning of the episode, we see Roman reaching for a white tub of moisturizer. “A little dry,” he says before applying the cream. As Succession has the tendency to do, this lone moisturizer sparked a debate about what specific product he used. Beauty writer Kirbie Johnson and Dieux Skin co-founder Charlotte Palermino both took to Instagram with an initial hunch that it could be a La Mer moisturizer (likely The Soft Cream) because of the shape and material of the tub, the texture of the cream, and even the sound of the lid hitting the countertop. However, after posting her video, a follower who apparently worked on the set of the show DM’ed Palermino to inform her that it was in fact a Kiehl’s moisturizer (possibly The Ultra Facial Cream) used in the scene. Still, Johnson and a slew of Succession fans in the comments of each video remain skeptical. On one hand — like Palermino initially speculated — we’d probably expect Roman to use La Mer because of his “affinity for a certain demographic of women who tend to use La Mer” and because, well, it’s super expensive. On the other hand, if he’s this aware of his skin dryness, then Kiehl’s would be a solid fit. Either way, it’d make sense.

Is it a coincidence that some of these items are left in full view? Absolutely not. It all lends itself to the show’s obsession with stealth wealth. If you blink, you might miss it. But it’s there nonetheless. To shop the Roy beauty regimen, flip through the gallery below.

Situated in Antibes along the coastline of the French Riviera, Dior has unveiled a dreamy new destination spa inside the iconic Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc. A recent hotspot, you may also recognize this historic hotel as the site of the lavish Sofia Richie Grainge wedding that took place last month (we’re still not over it!). Nestled beneath Aleppo pine trees in the Cap-Eden-Roc gardens, there is a lush selection of sensorial experiences available at this Dior spa where treatment rooms overlook a century-old rose garden once dedicated to Queen Elizabeth II. Here, some of these lavish offerings include Hydrafacial powered treatments and four new customizable signature wellness rituals titled “Dioriginels” inspired by the four elements. From soothing stone massages to hydrotherapy treatments that ease muscular aches and pains, the brand is honing in on its holistic view of wellness and beauty. What’s more, an exclusive “Riviera Solar Glow” treatment that uses products from the Dior Solar range to help treat and protect the skin from sun exposure also awaits. Ooh, la la! 

Beyoncé teases a hair brand

A post shared by Beyoncé (@beyonce)

Attention Beyhive, this is not a drill! This week, Queen Bey took to Instagram to drop an exciting teaser that is bound to shake up the beauty industry. The first slide of her post shows Beyoncé curling her hair in glam, and the second is a throwback shot of young Bey in a salon chair with a fresh set of braids. “How many of y’all knew my first job was sweeping hair in my Mama’s salon?” reads a digital note in the third slide of her post. Bey further explains that her former band, Destiny’s Child, first got its start performing for clients while they got their hair done. It was in the salon, she shares, where she was exposed to entrepreneurial women of all sorts and witnessed the impact that nurturing and celebrating our hair can have on our souls. “Having learned so much on my hair journey, I’ve always dreamed of carrying on her legacy. I can’t wait for you to experience what I’ve created,” she writes and signs off with a heart and a capital ‘B.’ Haircare? Wigs? Hair tools? Whatever it is, we’re ready for it. And if her current blonde mane moments on her Renaissance world tour are any indication — we’re already sold.

Vichy Laboratoires Minéral 89 is now available in two new formats

We’re sure skincare enthusiasts are already familiar with Vichy Laboratoires’ iconic Minéral 89 serum — and if you’re a fan, then you’re in luck. The ultra-hydrating serum has now been formulated into a brand new Minéral 89 72H Boosting Cream formula. Conveniently created in three different textures with all skin types in mind, you can choose from the fragrance-free, light or rich formula options to add to your skincare routine. For a double dose of hydration, layer the OG serum (which is still available!) with the new cream and thank us later.

Beautycounter’s newest lipsticks make a statement

Nothing makes a makeup statement quite like a bold lip — and Beautycounter just dropped a collection full of lipsticks that’ll do just that. Developed in collaboration with celebrity makeup artist Christy Coleman, the newly launched Statement Maker Satin Lipsticks come in 14 highly pigmented shades from subdued nudes to vibrant hues sure to make their mark. Each lipstick is formulated with nourishing açai oils, shea, mango butter and plant-based waxes that leave lips as soft as they are pigmented. Housed in post-consumer recycled packaging, this angled lipstick tube also doubles as a lip liner when flipped over.

Serumize debuts a new line of products

Founded by Elizabeth Shabi, a certified medical aesthetician and former senior chemist, Serumize is a beauty brand that truly understands the inner workings of skincare. Aiming to bridge the gap between prescribed skincare treatments and daily skincare products, this Canadian label offers up formulas that go skin-deep to target skincare concerns — so you get the best results. And the proof is in its latest launches. While the Clear Fight Oil-free Moisturizer is a remedy for acne-prone skin that unclogs pores while leaving skin hydrated, the Peptide Quench Hydrating Moisturizer harnesses the power of hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and aloe to combat super dry skin. What’s more, another addition to the Clear Fight line comes by way of a daily foaming cleanser that removes pore-clogging debris and makeup dubbed the Clear Fight Clarifying Facial Cleanser. Talk about spoiled for choice!

Where do we go when we need a little beauty advice or inspiration these days? TikTok, of course! And when it comes to helpful beauty hacks, the app always delivers. Last month we unpacked curling lashes upside down (kind of) and using sunscreen to contour, but this time around we’re getting into hacking a blowout overnight, DIYing your own skincare tools and more.

Below, find five tips and tricks that have been approved by #beautytok to try out this month.

Hold your bangs in place with a little lash glue

@darekelly

i kept forgetting and accidentally tugging at it but perfect hack for windy sf weather #bangs #lashgluebangs #bangshack #hairhack

♬ girls like me don’t cry (sped up) – thuy

Bangs are all fun and games until the wind blows. With a single gust, your carefully cropped bangs are giving full access to your bare forehead. Maybe you should try gluing your fringe down. Hear us out. In a viral video posted by @darekelly, she makes a convincing case for this hack. All you’ll need is lash glue, which you likely already have stored in your makeup bag. Again, that’s lash glue! Any other types of glue can irritate your skin should be avoided. Begin by using a few dots of glue along the brow bone (or wherever your bangs end) and press your strands into place. This ensures everything is evenly fanned out across your forehead. And just like that, your bangs are wind-proof! But don’t just take our word for it, users in the comment section of this tutorial speculate that this trick is how K-Pop star Lisa of Blackpink keeps her signature blunt fringe intact on stage, through killer choreography and all.

Combat oily skin with a foundation and powder concoction

@vincent.ford

This powder hack works well to control oil if you have oily skin I used Laura Mercier Translucent Powder in Honey and Fenty Pro Filt’r Hydrating Foundation #oilyskin #makeuphack #matteskin #fyp

♬ original sound – Vincent Ford

Got oily skin? London-based makeup artist Vincent Ford posted this powder trick that’ll help combat an oily-looking base in just a few foolproof steps. Just mix a loose face powder of your choice with your favourite liquid foundation and blend with your hands before applying it to your face with your fingertips. The result? A more mattified face with a blurred finish that’ll help to control oil all day long.

DIY a facial roller with a deodorant bottle…?

We love us a good skincare tool, but we don’t always love the price tag. That said, allow us to introduce our next hack: a DIY facial roller made with something you probably already keep in your medicine cabinet. In a TikTok with a whopping 35 million views, @rose.friederike uses an empty rollerball deodorant to DIY a facial roller. First, she pries the ball out with a small pair of nail scissors and soaks both the bottle and the ball in soapy water to clean it out (we suggest doing a super thorough cleanse to ensure no harsh ingredients have been left behind). Next, she grabs her product of choice — which is aloe vera — and squeezes it into the bottle before popping the ball back in. To complete her creation, she adds a personalized “face mask & chill” sticker to the bottle for a fun touch.

Hack a curly blowout overnight

@itsamandaguido

Tutorial of how I achieved heatless overnight curls on my smoothed-out, curly hair using flexing rods and socks & poor joe has seen some crazy things when I go to bed lol he said: “at-least tell me the socks were clean” LOL #heatlesscurls

♬ Area Codes (Sped Up Version) – Kali & sped up nightcore

Hair that sets in your sleep? Yes, please! If you’ve still got a set of flexi-rod rollers knocking around from way back when, you may want to bring them back into your hair tool rotation for this heatless curl hack. A recent TikTok posted by Canadian curly girl Amanda Guido walks us through how to use flexi-rods to achieve voluminous, blown-out looking curls overnight. Starting off with smoothed-out hair, apply oil to the ends of your strands before you wrap them up for the night. Next, stuff a handful of flexirods into a clean sock to act as your first ‘curler’. Make a C-shaped part at the top of your head and roll your sock tool from the ends of your hair up until you meet the scalp. Then, lock your sock curler in place by bending the flexi-rod. Repeat these steps all around your head in medium-sized sections — and be sure to tuck your hair up into a satin bonnet before bed so you can sleep sweetly and dream about the gorgeous curls you’re about to wake up to.

Match your foundation perfectly every time with this trick

@nikkiajoy

How to match your foundation the RIGHT way!!👏🏼 I hope this makeup tip helps🥺 #makeup #beauty #makeupartist #makeuptips #foundationhack #foundationmatch

♬ Funny Song – Cavendish Music

Whether we’re adapting to a darker skin tone in the summer, a lighter shade in the winter, or simply trying to decide which undertone is the right one, it can be a struggle to find the perfect shade of foundation. You may have tried swatching on the back of your hand or directly on your face in-store, only to return home and discover it’s not a match. Turns out we may have been doing it wrong all along. Beauty guru Nikkia Joy took to TikTok to teach us how to find our best match. “What you want to do instead is match your foundation to the exposed skin on your neck and chest,” says Joy. Start with one swatch on the neck, and blend it out to see if it matches. Though it may not be the same shade as your face, the point is to ensure that your makeup seamlessly blends into your neck and chest so it looks most natural. One more pro tip from Joy? Let your swatch dry down to see its true colour before you make your decision, as some foundations have a tendency to oxidize.

With the arrival of Netflix’s Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, we’ve been once again swept up into a Bridgerton fantasyone in which the tale of Queen Charlotte’s ascension to the throne is accompanied by all the enchanting elements of pomp, pageantry, and risqué romance that we love about the original series. Only this time, the Queen and her natural hair help to propel the story in a way we hadn’t yet experienced in a period drama before.

This prequel winds back the clock and introduces us to a young Queen Charlotte (portrayed by India Amarteifio) and King George III (played by Corey Mylchreest), as the origin of their romance unfolds in six binge-worthy episodes. If you’ve seen any of the Bridgerton episodes, then you’re already acquainted with the gossip-loving Queen Charlotte and her sky-high wigs intricately interwoven with diamonds, pearls, and of course, crowns. Though when we first meet young Charlotte in episode one of the new series, she is not yet a Queen.

A post shared by Bridgerton (@bridgertonnetflix)


Set to marry the King, she arrives in England in the first episode with her natural curls pulled up into an updo, still visible beneath a blue satin headpiece. This textured updo remains for the majority of the episode — that is until her first run-in with her future husband George — who she is actively trying to escape at the time of their meeting — moments ahead of their wedding. Following a surprisingly warm first encounter in which the King leaves the decision to wed entirely in Charlotte’s hands (after having seen her attempt to climb a literal *wall* to escape her marital duty), the soon-to-be Queen is left with a newfound sense of agency. In one of her first power moves of the show, she abandons her former updo and arrives at the wedding ceremony with a perfectly picked out afro and defined curls around the perimeter of her face topped with a flower ornamented tiara. With that, she weds the King on her own terms — natural hair on full display.

The first season of Bridgerton, where Queen Charlotte rules over the ton at a much older age, is set in 1813 London. So we can surmise that Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story takes place during the latter half of the 1700s. Typically, when we think of other period piece dramas set around the same English Regency era, we envision women like Keira Knightley in Pride and Prejudice with elegant coiffures and Marie Antoinette-esque bouffants accompanied by forced curls. Bridgerton is known for its diversity and inclusion, and this limited series is no exception. Much like many of the characters of colour in the Bridgerverse, Queen Charlotte and her naturally textured tresses are a welcome anomaly in this genre. The decision to embrace her curls is not only a major statement about Black women and their hair in film, but it also helps us to understand the type of character Queen Charlotte will become. “We wanted to show the afro and its beauty,” says hair and makeup head of the new series Nic Collins in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “That was important. It’s her decision, it’s her choice. It’s like she’s just let her hair down and it sits in its glory.”

Despite Amarteifio (who has blown us away with her recent press tour hairstyles) having a full head of beautifully defined coils, it may surprise you to learn that every single hairstyle Queen Charlotte wears is a wig. Why then, would a show with such an adamant focus on embracing natural hair, not embrace its leading lady’s natural curls? As a curly girl myself, I take this as a sign of a hair team that is well-versed in the workings of textured hair — one that understands our hair is delicate and more prone to breakage. They are aware of the fact that our curls may not necessarily be able to withstand rigorous daily styling in the ways other hair types can. “If it’s not their natural hair, all characters are wearing wigs because we wanted to be cautious and not damage the lead’s natural hair,” Collins tells the Los Angeles Times. The use of wigs runs deeper than mere on-screen representation — is a careful consideration of the actors’ hair in real life, which is just as crucial.

As the show rolls on, we’re offered up a spectacular array of elaborate hairstyles that evolve as Queen Charlotte does. We observe her hair wrapped up before bed (as we natural-haired folks do), in ornate updos, and worn in an abundance of afros adorned with jewels and crowns that capture the regal essence of the show. Collins tells Netflix that the hair stylists used a collection of unorthodox tools like thin skewers and wire cages within the wigs to help create shape and convey various textures — because some of us can only dream of achieving hair that big and bodacious.

In the final episode, young Charlotte’s ‘fro is fuller than ever, and she is ready to reign as the mature monarch we all know her to be. Closing out the series having embraced all her kinks and coils, Queen Charlotte reminds us all that wearing a head full of curls is a crown in and of itself.

Expanding upon the high-tech universe of Dyson styling tools, the haircare innovator has unveiled the Dyson Airstrait — a wet-to-dry hair straightener here to revolutionize the way we blow dry and flat iron our multi-textured tresses forever.

RELATED: Everything You Need to Know About Airwrap, Dyson’s Game-Changing Styling Tool

On a balmy evening in NYC on May 11, brand founder Sir James Dyson presented his latest product innovation to an eager crowd of media, beauty enthusiasts and influencers. As a black cloth covering the mysterious machine was pulled back to reveal the brand-new hair straightener in all its sleek glory, the audience cheered and clapped with excitement, still unaware of what it was or what it even did yet. Why? Because with every groundbreaking announcement of Dyson hair tools, like the Supersonic hairdryer, the Corrale straightener, and the Airwrap multi-styler serving as evidence, the brand proves it’s constantly one-upping its own creations launch after launch. The arrival of the Airstrait — which comes as part of the brand’s £500m promise to expand its research and technology development in its beauty sphere — is no exception to that rule.

Photography Courtesy of Dyson

“Having a strong understanding of how to manipulate and realize the potential of powerful airflow is fundamental to the performance of Dyson AirstraitTM straightener,” shares Dyson in a press release. “This expertise, which we’ve gained over the last 25 years, is what has enabled us to deliver our first wet-to-dry straightened, with no hot plates, and no heat damage.” The aforementioned airflow is shot through two apertures on the arms of the machine, which are angled at 45 degrees and deliver a downward blast of air powerful enough to straighten strands while they dry.

Emma Sheldon, vice president of the hair care sector at Dyson explains that the name of this machine is derived from the word strait — meaning, a narrow passage of water that connects with larger bodies of water. “It’s a nod to the fact that you’re styling your hair from [a] wet [state],” she explains. This process is able to be successfully carried out by using optimum heat levels and directional airflow to avoid damaging the hair, which is naturally weakened when wet. To protect the hair, the Dyson Airstrait also uses Intelligent Heat Control to measure airflow temperatures up to 30 times per second in order to prevent heat damage. What’s more, this machine can be conveniently used in either a Wet, Dry or Cool mode with varying heat settings available.

Photography Courtesy of Dyson

To prove the Airstrait’s efficacy and ability to cater to all hair types, Dyson global styling ambassadors and celebrity hairstylists Matthew Collins and Irinel de Léon took to the stage to demonstrate how to use the tool on three different hair types. This inclusive capability was one that Collins considered when checking out the product near the end of its development.

“I was like, ‘is it going to work for all hair types?’ Because we all know with type three or four type hair — even within that type —  there’s a lot of different textures that react differently to heat,” the Canadian hairdresser tells FASHION.

The good news: The Airstrait does work for all hair types.

On a wet section of hair, the hairstylists wowed the crowd with the tool’s ability to straighten and smooth strands from wavy locks to kinks and coils with three passes. Collins explains that although coarser type four hair textures may not necessarily achieve a silk-press level result with the Airstrait, what it will do is minimize the amount of work by eliminating tedious round-brushing and blow drying. “All the type four [haired] girls that I’ve talked to about this are like, ‘Yeah I’m spending almost an hour to prepare my hair for my flat iron, and now you’ve just made that process a half hour.’ That’s a game changer.”

A post shared by Dyson Hair (@dysonhair)

While Collins says the Airstrait won’t necessarily replace all of our beloved styling tools, he tells FASHION it’s going to change the hairstyling game “a lot.” And while it’s not technically a professional tool, Collins says, “For me as a professional… secretly I’m keeping it in my kit.” (We suspect he may use the tool to style his high-profile clients like Mandy Moore and Sophia Bush.)

With the Airstrait being just one of 20 beauty products coming down the Dyson pipeline over the next four years, we can’t begin to imagine what other state-of-the-art tools could be coming next.

The Dyson Airstrait ($699.99) is available to shop in Canada right now.

Last summer, we couldn’t seem to escape the shimmering lure of Hailey Bieber‘s glazed donut nails. And just shy of one year later, there’s a new chrome nail craze on the rise that is just as sweet. Enter vanilla chrome nails, the creamy metallic manicure making us melt.

Not to be confused with the original glazed donut look, this new iteration of last year’s trend features a more off-white, vanilla-coloured undertone — hence, the name of the look — paired with a classic chrome top coat that gives off a pearlescent finish. By combining a neutral base with a pearly element of high shine, the result is a look that reads subtle yet glamorous. Call it a cross between quiet luxury and mermaidcore, if you will.

RELATED: These Celebrity-Approved Manicures Are Giving Us Major Spring Nail Inspo

Racking up nearly 100,000 likes on Instagram, it was nail artist Alexandra Teleki (a.k.a The Hot Blend) who posted the save-worthy snapshot of her vanilla chrome manicure back in March that has served as the main source of inspiration for the trend ever since. “This is a chrome twist, it is so subtle and beautiful!” comments one user beneath the viral post. “Omg I am obsessed,” writes a fellow nail tech. With her vanilla chrome look in high demand and over 500,000 curious followers on TikTok and Instagram to answer to, Teleki revealed her creative process on both platforms in a step-by-step tutorial right in time for spring and summer. The best part? You can recreate the look yourself at home — and it only requires a few simple steps.

@thehotblendofficial

Vanilla Chrome Nails at home🫶🍨✨🤍 All products are listed in my bio (Amazon Storefront) also linked some similar products so you can recreate this look at home😊 I hope you enjoy the tutorial! Let me know in the comments if you have any questions 💅 #diynails #vanillachromenails #glazeddonutnails #chromenails #nails

♬ original sound – The Hot Blend

As seen in her viral TikTok (which has accumulated over six million on the app so far), Teleki begins by painting each nail with a coat of The GelBottle’s Love Letter polish to create a creamy vanilla-coloured base. To lock it in, she then swipes a layer of Extreme Shine Top Coat on top of the off-white polish. As for the pearlescent pièce de résistance, each nail is then buffed with a white pearl chrome powder to create that shimmery, reflective finish. Lastly, she cleans up the look by brushing away any excess powder surrounding the nails, and reveals a fresh spring-ready vanilla chrome mani. It’s as simple as that!

Loving the look of this manicure trend? Keep scrolling for more pearly inspiration — including two new ways to further simplify your at-home chrome manis that’ll change your nail game forever.

Try a French vanilla

If you’re already into the vanilla trend, might we suggest a vanilla Française? And why not save yourself some time by going the press-on route? These French Glaze press-ons by Canadian beauty brand Quickies are gorgeous, easy to apply, and right on trend.

Go for a pink pearl mani

Strawberry chrome nails, anyone? Try opting for a layer of translucent pink polish over your cream shade before adding your chrome powder to create a soft pink pearl look that is subtle yet chic.

Get the look with a glaze pen

A post shared by Salon Perfect (@salonperfect)

Using this convenient Glazing Powder Pen by Salon Perfect, all you’ll need is a single swipe of the gel polish included on one side of the pen followed by a buff of chrome powder on the other to achieve the chrome look overtop bare nails or coloured polish.

Try soft spring shades

Giving in to pastels for spring? As you should! Elevate the classic chrome look with a multicoloured pattern by swapping out the neutral base shade with any combination of your favourite springy pastels. Baby blue, candy floss pink, sweet lilac — the choice is yours.

Make it abstract

If you’re feeling experimental, follow Teleki’s lead and take the classic vanilla chrome manicure to new heights with this abstract design on a few accent nails for a little extra fun.

We don’t know about you, but we’ve been pleasantly surprised by this wave of warmth and sunshine we’ve been having in place of dreary April showers. Sure, it’s technically spring, but that fact that it also feels like spring? Groundbreaking. It also means that a slew of new sunscreen launches have arrived right on time.

We can all benefit from the protective properties that sunscreen offers, like helping to prevent sunburns, skin cancer, and premature signs of aging like wrinkles and fine lines. The SPF of our beloved sunscreens is an indicator of how well a sunscreen can protect against UVA and UVB rays, and we should be aiming to use products with a minimum SPF of 30.

Here’s the thing: We love sunscreen and all that it does for us, but finding one that blends well with our makeup and doesn’t leave behind a white cast or a greasy finish is no easy feat. It’s true that you should be applying sunscreen daily and all year round, but if you’ve neglected this step during the winter months or haven’t found a sunscreen that works for you, allow us to introduce 12 new SPF-packed products we think you’ll love. From multifunctional creams to dewy serums, there’s a face sunscreen here for everyone.

Fresh off a total rebrand, Radford Beauty has entered a new era of stripped-down skincare. The Canadian brand aims to simplify skincare by cutting through the confusion. With often overcomplicated language and a constant shift in trends, it can be tricky to narrow down what your skin really needs — and what actually works. To remedy this overstimulation, skincare expert and brand founder Victoria Radford has relaunched Radford Beauty with a curated lineup of daily essentials made with clean, intentional and effective formulas. To help reset your skin and get your routine back on track, the new product portfolio now includes a skin-loving series of products ranging from a pH-balanced cleanser to a sheer tinted moisturizer, all housed in no-fuss, minimalist packaging so you can get the job done.

Sulwhasoo drops a brightening line

Need a little boost of brightness? The launch of Sulwhasoo’s Concentrated Ginseng Brightening line has arrived right on time. The collection, which includes a spot ampoule and a serum, boasts three illuminating hero ingredients. First, Sulwhasoo’s GinsenomicsTM technology uses a rare form of saponin (derived from the ginseng plant) within its Ginsenoside ingredient to power its anti-aging properties. Then, the patented MelasolvTM ingredient works to brighten the skin by targeting dark spots, ultimately revealing a clearer complexion that glows. And lastly, while white ginseng polysaccharides promote a radiant glow, they simultaneously keep the skin hydrated. How’s that for a brightness boost?

Supergoop!’s body sunscreen is now available in Canada

Canada, our wait is over — the Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen Body SPF 40 is here. Beauty enthusiasts are probably already obsessed with the O.G. Supergoop! facial sunscreen, but this body-focused iteration features a revamped formula and a couple of unique new ingredients you’re going to want to hear about. The Unseen Sunscreen Body offers up an easy-to-glide formula that is silkier than its facial counterpart, so it’s a breeze to apply all over the body. Plus, newly added olive leaf and fruit extracts team up with plant-derived emollients to reinforce the skin’s natural barrier and wrap the skin in a moisturizing layer of protection — without leaving behind a dreaded greasy finish.

Wildcraft launches an affordable brightening serum

On the skincare market, vitamin C serums can run you anywhere around $100 and upwards — but Wildcraft’s mission to design products priced under $45 makes their Brighten Vitamin C Face Serum a budget-friendly option that your skin will thank you for. To brighten and even out your skin tone, the serum is formulated with sodium ascorbyl phosphate (a stable, water-soluble vitamin C derivative), and uses both hyaluronic acid and sea algae to smooth the skin while fading stubborn dark spots. This Indigenous beauty brand also prides itself on creating plant-powered skincare — which is why this serum draws upon chamomile, green tea, and blossom honey ingredients to support a healthy skin barrier.

Paco Rabanne revamps its Fame fragrance for spring

Paco Rabanne’s irresistible Fame fragrance just got a springtime makeover. It’s the same floral fragrance you know and love with key notes of succulent mango and airy jasmine, only this time dressed up in a collector edition bottle doused in pink glitter. Dubbed Fame Blooming Pink, this limited-edition jewel bottle oozes luxury with its Paco Rabanne chainmail dress-inspired design in a new rosy hue. An absolute must-have for perfume collectors, it’ll add a playful pop of pink to any vanity.

If there’s one thing we can say about Florence Pugh, it’s that she’s fearless. Whether she’s playing the role of a polished 1950s housewife in the psychological thriller Don’t Worry Darling or the flower-crown-wearing lead in Midsommar, Pugh is unafraid to take on any character. And both on- and off-screen, she’s unafraid of trying new things with her hair.

RELATED: Florence Pugh Walked Her First Met Gala Red Carpet

In the trailer for her latest heartfelt film A Good Person, we see Pugh’s character, Allison, recklessly chopping away at her hair — which would typically be a wig, but the actress revealed in an interview with USA Today that it was actually her own hair being trimmed. “Everyone was really anxious that it was the only take we’d have, but I found it really liberating,” she shared.

This liberating haircut launched the stunning series of chic pixie cut and bob styles she’s worn since.

At the 95th Academy Awards earlier this month, Pugh’s hair — styled by her hairstylist of years, Peter Lux — was swept back into a sculptural ponytail that flowed up and forward to create micro-bangs using the ends of Pugh’s own hair, and then completed with a coquette-style black bow. It was everything we love about a classic Pugh ‘do: unexpected, intricate and innovative.

Even when Pugh isn’t donning an updo, Lux still styles and shapes every strand with purpose and intention. Rest assured this duo will always deliver hairstyles with an element of surprise. Below, browse our favourite recent Florence Pugh hair moments.

At the 2022 British Fashion Awards back in December, Pugh wore her blonde bob slicked back to perfection, with a subtle side part and flipped out ends. With a touch of the wet-look going on, Pugh’s vibe that evening was cool and effortless.

Pugh’s 2023 Emmy Awards hairstyle wasn’t merely a hairstyle — it was a masterpiece. In the front, we see micro bangs and a glimpse of what’s in the back: an abstract work involving twisting, tucking, and fanning, resulting in a gravity-defying ‘do.

At this month’s Valentino Fall 2023 show in Paris, Pugh’s modern mohawk stole the show. “Like…mohawk, pixie, swirly thingy, punk, greasy,” says Pugh of the look on Instagram.

From complex creations to effortless updos, there’s nothing that Pugh can’t pull off. See the loose swept-up look she wore for the British Academy of Film and Television screening of A Good Person in early March. Perfectly undone yet still glamorous.

While it’s clear that Pugh is partial to an updo, she can also serve with her hair down. Take this ‘do for instance, featuring a middle part and loose waves for a day of press.

For another screening of A Good Person, Pugh was once again on the coquette beauty train — this time with an OTT sparkling bow holding her side part in place. As for the rest of the style, Lux created subtle Hollywood waves and opted for a Pugh signature: a minor flip on the ends of her blonde bob.

The Met Gala proves time and time again to be a platform for dramatic transformations and shocking reveals (think: Lady Gaga’s campy costume changes in 2019, or Jessica Chastain‘s platinum blonde unveiling at this year’s Met ball). Pugh was no exception to this rule at the 2023 “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty”-themed event on May 1. Stepping out onto the Met Gala red carpet on May 1, Pugh debuted a fresh brunette buzz cut topped with a show-stopping feathered headpiece.

As we continue to keep an eye on Pugh and her sculptural hairdos (or lack thereof), we wonder what style she’ll dare to wear next.

While Met Gala themes can most easily be translated and identified through dress, beauty serves as another avenue for further creative expression. With some blatantly obvious tributes and some more subtle, the hair and makeup looks worn by this year’s Met Gala attendees reflected the “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” theme beautifully.

RELATED: Who Was Missing From the Met Gala?

Having left behind a legacy that’s both controversial and celebrated, there were endless possible references to be made at an event centred around the memory of Karl Lagerfeld’s impressive career. Though this designer was best known for fashion, his creative process was also closely intertwined with beauty, giving way to some of the “Karl-isms” we spotted on the glam scene at this year’s Met Gala.

From smokey eyes to bridal beauty and, of course, nods to Lagerfeld’s beloved cat Choupette, we break down how the 2023 Met Gala beauty trends that honoured the late Karl Lagerfeld and nailed the theme.

The significance of the smokey eye

A post shared by Emily Ratajkowski (@emrata)

When Met Gala attendees including Emily Ratajkowski, Keke Palmer, Kim Kardashian, and longtime Lagerfeld muse Cara Delevingne stepped out onto the Met carpet with slept-in smokey eyeshadow, we began to sense a trend. While this sultry eye look is a certified classic, it has deeper ties with Lagerfeld and his relationship to makeup. As a multi-hyphenate dabbling in photography, illustration and design, Lagerfeld’s artistic abilities stretched far beyond strictly clothing. Among various other mediums used to communicate texture in his drawings, Lagerfeld is known to have used eyeshadow.

In addition to using shadows for the sketches themselves, he always had a vision of how each model’s makeup would tie into his designs. “Karl was building a story with every collection, and there was no [disconnect’ between the makeup and the clothes,” shared Caroline Lebar, SVP of image and communications at Karl Lagerfeld, in a Vogue interview. “He had a vision of how she dressed. How she did her makeup. How she did her hair.” With this attention to detail, the creation of several makeup collections developed with big beauty players like Sephora and L’Oréal seemed to be a fitting extension of Lagerfeld’s creativity. Eyeshadow palettes packed with midnight blacks, sultry silvers and blendable browns proved to be the common thread throughout his makeup collections, mirroring Lagerfeld’s iconic monochrome look and the signature Chanel smokey eye — a recurring look that appeared on the runways of some of Lagerfeld’s most praised shows from the ’90s to the end of his career.

Fanciful felines

From Doja Cat’s sharpened claws and prosthetic snout to more subtle feline eyeliner flicks worn by stars like J.Lo and Vanessa Hudgens, one could argue that this year’s Met Gala beauty looks honoured Karl Lagerfeld’s blue-eyed Birman cat as much as the late designer himself. She’s a cover girl. She’s an Instagram icon. She’s essentially the heir to the Lagerfeld throne (and is reportedly set to inherit some of his millions). She is Choupette! As Lagerfeld’s feline companion and perhaps most prized possession, homages to Choupette and cat-inspired beauty looks were to be expected at this year’s Met Gala — and they did not disappoint.

After cat-sitting Choupette (whose name translates to “cute girl” in French) for French model and muse Baptiste Giabiconi in 2011, Lagerfeld was so fond of the cat and their time together that he decided to keep her. “There is no marriage, yet, for human beings and animals… I never thought I would fall in love like this with a cat,” he told CNN in 2013. In the years since, this fluffy feline has become as synonymous with Lagerfeld as his signature white ponytail and black sunglasses. When Choupette revealed on Instagram that she would not be walking the Met carpet — despite her eagerly anticipated attendance — we had to rely on celebrities and the power of makeup to channel her feline energy. And they sure did.

Pearls, pearls, pearls!

A post shared by Taylour Chanel (@taylourchanel)

Channeling Lagerfeld’s Chanel era, we observed pearls galore draped over gowns and hanging from the necks of Met Gala guests — and upon close inspection, pearl details were also worked into some of the best beauty looks of the night. Alton Mason (who was the first Black male model to walk in a Chanel show) accessorized his look with a single pearl at the inner corner of each eye, Gigi Hadid opted for an undereye placement of her micro pearls, and Lil Nas X was bedecked in pearls from head to toe, all nodding to the house of Chanel where pearls remain one of the brand’s most notable symbols. Coco Chanel famously stated that “A woman should have ropes and ropes of pearls,” a mantra which Lagerfeld continued to follow when he began working at the French fashion house in the 1980s. Layered pearls were featured in Lagerfeld’s debut collection at Chanel in 1983, and this precious gemstone continued to appear throughout his collections until his final show in 2019.

The black bow

We may view hair bows as a coquettet beauty accessory now, but the black bow will forever be associated with Chanel. Like pearls, the bow was an accessory favoured by Coco Chanel that Lagerfeld continued to incorporate into his looks long after her death and right up until his own. Under Lagerfeld’s rule, the black bow was used on Chanel runways in a multitude of imaginative ways: classically tying a model’s hair back in the Fall 1986 show, as a headband during the Spring 1990 show, miniature and everywhere at the Autumn 2005 show, and as a bridal accessory on muse Cara Delevingne for the Métiers d’Art show in 2014. On the Met Gala red carpet, our FASHION’s Winter 2022 cover star Sydney Sweeney went big and bold with her black bow, while Karlie Kloss, Camilla Morrone and Billie Eilish also took on the black bow trend.

Bridal beauty

In true couture tradition, Lagerfeld was known to close his haute couture shows with a bridal look, many of which became his most beloved and best-known creations. From ’90s brides Claudia Schiffer, Linda Evangelista and Devon Aoki to modern muse brides like Lily-Rose Depp and Kendall Jenner, Lagerfeld’s nuptial looks pushed the envelope with designs that surpassed traditional notions of wedding attire. In his honour, bridal beauty was abundant on the stairs of The Met. Met Gala co-chair Penélope Cruz accessorized her hair with a dreamy bridal veil (which was part of a hooded gown plucked from the archives of Chanel’s 1998 Spring collection), Ava Max adorned a pearl-encrusted headpiece to complete her bridal look, and Alton Mason topped off his “groom” getup with a rhinestone encrusted veil overtop his cornrows.

In celebration of the brand’s four-year anniversary, UOMA Beauty has unveiled a new campaign inspiring us all to be our truest and most authentic selves. With a name that translates to “beautiful” in Nigeria’s Igbo language, this brand has been inspired by its own cultural heritage to rewrite the beauty industry’s rules regarding diversity and inclusivity. The “We See You” campaign captures a beautifully diverse array of faces, including models like Jasmine Saunders and Leomie Anderson. Each photo embraces a multicultural mix of beauty — because UOMA Beauty believes that skin colour is more than just a colour, it’s a representation of identity, history, and the way our pasts push us forward. With this campaign, the brand invites us all to consider looking at our varying skin tones with that same perspective.

Glossier unveils a new line of polished lip products

Inspired by all the best standout suits in our lives (think: birthday and business suits), Glossier‘s latest lip launch is a nine-piece collection of buttery smooth lip crèmes labelled G Suit. Softer than a liquid lipstick, these lippies are formulated with a nourishing blend of shea butter and black raspberry seed oil. The finish is a soft-focused, demi-matte look with a “petal-like” feel, thanks to its rose wax sicilia and orchid complex ingredients. Comfortable and chic, trust in this product to polish off any pout so you look instantly dressed up with a single swipe over the lips.

The Ordinary drops its third cleanser

There’s always something brewing in The Ordinary’s O. Lab, and the release of a new cleanser marks the brand’s fifth drop to come out of The O. Lab universe. Introducing the Glycolipid Cream Cleanser, a suitable-for-all-skin-types cleanser with a gentle foam-free cream texture. The plant-derived glycolipid cleansing agent is this product’s hero ingredient, allowing for a non-stripping cleanse that is still superb for makeup removal.

Céla by Celine Tadrissi has two new products packed with Canadian ingredients

Céla by Celine Tadrissi just dropped a Northern Facial collection inclusive of two new product offerings powered by Canadian ingredients. The Northern Face Oil was made in collaboration with Seneca’s Centre for Innovation in Life Sciences and features sustainably sourced red maple bark extract in its formula, which restores skin firmness by promoting collagen and elastin production. In addition, the Northern Eye Cream draws upon its leading bakuchiol (a natural retinol alternative) ingredient to reduce the appearance of ageing signs like wrinkles, fine lines, and dryness.

Evio Beauty adds a jelly cleanser to its EvioSkin line

The latest addition to Canadian brand Evio Beauty’s skincare line is a soothing facial cleanser dubbed the First Cleanse Jelly Cleanser. Designed to dissolve the day’s buildup of residue, this cleanser’s soap-free formula taps into the power of hyaluronic acid and antioxidant ingredients to help repair skin damage. At the same time, amino and omega fatty acids work gently to reduce redness and inflammation, while eucalyptus works to prevent and heal acne. You can preorder the cleanser as of April 28 through the Evio Beauty website.

As the internet continues to be enamoured with Sofia Richie‘s wedding, new details are emerging daily about the luxurious, South of France-situated soirée. And since FASHION detailed all the products used to create Richie’s bridal glam earlier this week, there’s been an update on the beauty front regarding the bride’s wedding day nails. Thanks to a TikTok posted by Richie’s nuptial nail artiste, we’ve got the low-down on how to recreate the Sofia Richie wedding nails and all the products you’ll need to do so.

A post shared by GEORGIA RAE (@raelondonnails)

While celebrity makeup artist Pati Dubroff was behind Richie’s timeless glam and hairstylist to the stars Kathleen Hair was responsible for her bridal bun, London-based manicurist Georgia Rae was the talented manicurist on nail duty. As a self-titled “minimal nail artist,” Rae’s expertise lent itself fittingly to Richie’s soft glamour wedding aesthetic.

 

This week, everyone from wedding guests to members of Richie’s glam squad have offered up a unique behind-the-scenes insight into the happenings of the Richie Grainge wedding, by way of elaborate beauty breakdowns and entertaining GRWM segments on TikTok. Posting the details of Richie’s rehearsal dinner and nuptial nails on the app, Rae is the latest to reveal her creative process — following other key wedding players like Dubroff and celebrity tan artist Isabel Alysa.

For both events, Rae prepped Richie’s nails using Navy Professional tools to create a clean, flawless base for the polishes to come. She then opted for a soft square shape (which she shares is Richie’s signature) to match the elegant mood of the wedding weekend. For the bride’s rehearsal dinner nails, Rae used a single coat of OPI’s beloved Funny Bunny polish to create a milky white manicure. “I decided to do one coat because it kind of allowed Sofia’s natural skin tone to come through and almost created a custom shade for her — which I loved,” shares Rae in her TikTok post. As for the big day, two coats of Bio Sculpture’s Sweet Candy Breath polish brought Richie’s official wedding manicure together for a look that whispers “quiet luxury gone bridal.”

To ensure that Richie’s hands were moisturized throughout the weekend (because, let’s be real, all eyes were on her and her ring), Rae sealed in each manicure with Chanel skincare for an extra layer of nourishment that wouldn’t leave behind an oily or greasy finish. I mean, what could be more luxurious than topping off your wedding mani with a little Chanel?

Through helpful hacks and clever tips, TikTok is endlessly inspiring us to use beauty products in unorthodox ways while educating us about how to do so in the process. Our latest fixation? Maximizing our self-tanner use with a couple of genius beauty hacks.

RELATED: The Best New Face Sunscreens To Add to Your Summer Skin Routine

We already love self-tanners for their bronzing capabilities, but we can get more use out of self-tanners than you might think. On TikTok, the #selftan hashtag has amassed more than one billion views across an infinite amount of videos — many of which include self-tanner tricks you didn’t even know you needed to try. From faking freckles to facial contouring, turns out self-tanners are indeed a multi-use product. Below, we unpack four self-tanner beauty tricks from TikTok and how to test drive them at home.

Chisel your cheeks

@abbybaffoe

Replying to @happiestnatalieonearth selftan face contour in depth tutorial 😙🫶🏼 #selftan #selftanner #selftanface #facecontouring #beautyhacks

♬ original sound – Abby Baffoe

Who knew self-tanner could be a secret contour weapon? Content creators on TikTok are using this bronzing trick to sculpt cheekbones and achieve a natural-looking facial contour. To get the look, you’ll want to apply a pump of your self-tanner to a tanning mitt that’ll act as a makeup palette and allow you to have more control over how much product you use. Then, using a makeup sponge, begin applying self-tanner to your cheeks, forehead, nose, and jawline as you would typically apply your bronzer or contour products. “My best advice would be to blend it out as much as you would blend out your contour because it’s going to be on our face, right? It’s going to be staying there for a few days,” says TikToker Abby Baffoe in a viral video sharing her self-tanner contour routine. Once the product has been evenly blended to your liking, allow it to sit for a few hours before you wash your face and reveal your new contour. You’ll be looking snatched for days.

Fake your freckles

If you love adding faux freckles to your makeup routine, a self-tanner can make it easier to achieve a more natural, semi-permanent freckled look. Depending on your desired end result, there are several techniques that you may want to test out. For all-over-the-face freckles, you can add your fake tanning product of choice to a spray bottle and do a couple of spritzes as you would with a setting spray — but don’t get too carried away. Once set and dry, dab your face with a towel to unveil a natural-looking layer of faux freckles. For a more localized look — say, a smattering of freckles over the nose — you’ll find that everyday beauty tools like tweezers, spoolies and toothbrushes can be used to flick or dab your self-tanner across the desired area and atop your makeup (or on a bare face if you’re going makeup-free). No matter your preference, each of these methods will give an abstract finish that looks much more authentic than hand drawing each freckle.

Line your lips

From overlining to using plumping glosses, there always seems to be a new way to hack our lips into looking larger and fuller. Well, here’s another one — lip contouring with self-tanner. This temporary trick allows you to define your lipline while leaving behind a naturally lined look with no filler needed. Using a small makeup brush, you’ll want to dip into your fake tan and trace the outline of your lips as you would with a lip liner pencil. (Hot tip: Extending the line ever so slightly beneath your lip will give an even more contoured effect.) After the tan has settled, your lips will be left with a darker outline, which will give the illusion of a fuller, naturally contoured pout.

Tint your brows

Love a bold brow? Allow a self-tanner brow tint job to be your next TikTok-inspired beauty venture. In one video on the app with over nine million views, TikTok user @tiktokteenagers documents her process while trying this hack — and in the second part of her video, she reveals successfully tinted brows that appear thicker and more thoroughly filled out. To recreate the look, grab a self-tanner in a shade that is most similar to your natural brow colour. Then, use an angled makeup brush to fill in your brows, emphasizing any areas that look particularly sparse. After you’ve cleaned up the edges with a Q-tip, use a spoolie to evenly disperse the product throughout the brow. After one hour, you may want to wipe away some of the product around the perimeter of your brow to avoid any harsh lines that may dry down too dark. Finally, after an additional two hours, wipe your brows with micellar water and observe your freshly tinted new look.

If you’re already a fan of U Beauty’s facial Resurfacing Compound, you’ll be delighted to know that it served as inspiration for the brand’s latest product, The Resurfacing Body Compound. The product is the result of two years of formulation and a staggering ten years of development, during which the breakthrough Siren Capsule technology was created. The result is this one-of-a-kind full-body treatment that exfoliates and aids the skin’s natural desquamation (creating, shedding, and replacing) process. Irregular textures are improved and skin is left feeling silky smooth. Sounds like a self-care staple to us — especially when we can expect to show a little more skin during the upcoming months.

Shiseido’s latest eye concentrate works on under-eyes and lashes

On the market for something that can remedy notoriously difficult-to-fade dark circles under the eye? Shiseido’s Ultimune Eye Power Infusing Eye Concentrate is at your service. This brightening serum features Heart Leaf Extract to help promote microcirculation and collagen production. It also reduces the appearance of dark circles. In a survey conducted by the brand, 100% of participants reported that their under-eye wrinkles and fine lines were less visible. What’s more, conditioning fruit extracts work to promote eyelash health and growth, too. Longer lashes and brighter under-eyes? It’s a win-win.

There’s a major animal testing update from the Canadian government

This week, the Canadian government doubled down on its commitment to banning cosmetic testing on animals across the country. The contents of the pending Budget Implementation Act were published in the government’s Notice of Ways and Means Motion. This included measures that will prohibit selling cosmetics that depend on new animal testing data to determine product safety. It will also prohibit false labelling as it pertains to testing cosmetics on animals. These measures are, of course, all in addition to the government’s proposal to ban animal testing for cosmetic products entirely. Wildlife advocates such as the Humane Society International/Canada, the Animal Alliance Canada, and Cruelty Free International have been working alongside the government for years to champion this cause. And so have cosmetic companies like Lush Cosmetics and The Body Shop. Since 1989, The Body Shop has been fighting to ban worldwide animal testing through admirable initiatives such as their global Forever Against Animal Testing campaign. With the introduction of this legislation, these brands officially become part of the team that contributed to this change in Canadian laws.

Laboratoire Dr Renaud drops a volumizing serum

This week, Quebec-based beauty brand Laboratoire Dr Renaud dropped an impressive new serum designed to smooth wrinkles and fine lines while simultaneously boosting hydration in the skin. And it’s all thanks to the introduction of an exclusive complex made up of four types of hyaluronic acid within its Innovhyal HA formulation. The INNOVHYALHA Volumizing HydraSerum utilizes this hyaluronic acid blend — which is intensified by niacinamide, ceramides, and skin-replenishing polysaccharides — to reduce signs of ageing (like wrinkles and lack of volume) that can stem from low levels of hyaluronic acid and dehydration in the skin. After use, you’re bound to be left with a plump, smooth, and more hydrated new complexion.

Along with blooming flowers, brighter days, and bluer skies, spring welcomes a high dose of candy-coloured inspiration by way of fresh fashion and beauty trends. Within the celebrity beauty circuit, spring-ready manicures are following suit.

RELATED: Why Not Try Alien Nails?

From Hailey Bieber‘s glow-in-the-dark green talons to Kourtney Kardashian’s cherry-speckled set, consider vibrant colour palettes and dainty floral nail designs your sign that spring has officially sprung. Below, we’ve got all the inspiration you need for your next appointment this season, cosigned by your favourite stars. Plus, we’re breaking down how pro manicurists like Zola Ganzorigt and Britney Tokyo achieved these looks, and how you can too.

Hailey Bieber’s glow-in-the-dark green set

As the pioneer of last year’s glazed donut manicure trend, we’re always curious about what Hailey Bieber will do next with her nails. Her most recent set? These neon green almond tips with 3D chrome detailing. On Instagram, Bieber’s nail tech Zola Ganzorigt revealed they cycled through 50 different shades of polish before landing on this custom glow-in-the-dark colour for a day of festival fun at Coachella. To achieve this slime green shade, Ganzorigt mixed OPI GelColor’s No Faux Yellow and Green Come True polishes with a base coat and a sprinkle of glow-in-the-dark powder. For the gold details, she then drew lines with OPI’s Suzi’s Slinging Mezcal gel polish before curing. She finished the look by rubbing the brand’s Chrome Effects Powder in the Gold Digger shade over each of the gold lines. Turns out these neon nails accessorized the Rhode founder’s pared-back festival attire perfectly.

Jennifer Lopez’s floral decal nails

Groundbreaking or not, we love to adorn ourselves and our nails with floral patterns for spring — much to the dismay of The Devil Wears Prada antagonist Miranda Priestly — but we just can’t seem to help it. Especially when celebrities like Jennifer Lopez debut dreamy flower-bedecked sets like this one crafted by Tom Bachik, inspiring us to do the same. Bachik labels Lopez “spring queen” in his Instagram caption, and we can totally see why. What says spring more than these blossoming tips?  To replicate her milk bath manicure, search through Amazon, Etsy, or your local beauty supply store to find a pack of miniature dried flower nail decals to your taste. Then, use a neutral shade of nude-pink polish as your base colour, and apply the flowers overtop. Lock it all in with a layer of top coat, and you’ve got yourself a J.Lo-inspired spring set.

Selena Gomez’s rainbow Skittles set

’Tis the season of candy-coloured palettes, and this snapshot of Selena Gomez posted by her go-to manicurist (also the aforementioned Bachik) earlier this month is right on trend. With this multi-coloured Skittles-inspired set, we can practically “taste the rainbow” through our screens. There’s some speculation from fans in Bachik’s comments over whether or not this photo may be a throwback to her “999” music video nails or a brand-new mani, but either way, the post comes at the perfect time for the spring season. If you’re indecisive when it comes to planning your manicures, these rainbow nails are your answer. All you’ll need is five bold shades of polish (or 10 if you really want that mix-and-match look) for each finger on one hand, then repeat the pattern on your other hand to get Gomez’s look. Sweet, right?

Gwen Stefani’s spring-bling talons

The maximalist version of J. Lo’s milk bath floral mani? This flower power set by celebrity nail artist Eri Ishizu on Gwen Stefani. Above, observe a mega-sized French manicure dotted with rhinestone flowers on XXL square tips that are so Stefani’s style (check her Instagram feed for lots of nail action if you don’t believe us). In Ishizu’s post, she shared that she used Aprés Nail’s Chaun Legend Square XX Long nails to achieve this ultra-long length. As for polish, she used the brand’s Fairy Wings shade as a base and Kunzite Light for the French tips. To recreate the rhinestone flowers yourself, any itty-bitty craft store bought gems can be used and placed on the nails in a flower formation — just use Ishizu’s photo as your guide.

Kourtney Kardashian’s mini cherry mani

A post shared by Kim Truong (@kimkimnails)

Kourtney Kardashian’s micro cherry mani is spring-ready and oh-so-cute. This intricate set was hand-painted by A-list manicurist Kim Truong — who has also been responsible for some of sisters Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner’s best nail looks over the years. It can be tricky to replicate such small details at home without the help of a pro, so try sending screenshots of Kourt’s cherry mani to your nail tech ahead of your next appointment to avoid the at-home hassle. Or, if you prefer taking more of a DIY approach to your nails, browse Etsy to find fruit-pattern nail art stickers perfectly suited for this set. Cherries? Lemons? Strawberries? The possibilities are endless.

Georgia May Jagger’s blue chrome claws

Thought chrome nails were passé? Think again. This spring, prepare to see more colourful takes on the chrome nail trend — like these mermaid blue chrome claws that Georgia May Jagger wore last weekend. L.A.-based artist Britney Tokyo, who is known for her boldly coloured, OTT manicures on celebrities from Paris Hilton to Christina Aguilera, is the manicurist behind Jagger’s aqua tips. To take an already cool blue chrome set to the next level like Georgia, apply rhinestone hearts courtesy of a craft store at the centre of each nail. Posing with this festival-approved set for her 1.3 million followers on Instagram, it’s clear that model Georgia May (daughter of Mick Jagger and supermodel Jerry Hall) inherited her parents’ cool charm.

TikTok and Instagram are brimming with bright ideas and new product innovations made to simplify and elevate our beauty regimens. Who doesn’t love a DIY moment or a little multi-purpose product action? Recently, we’ve stumbled upon five game-changing beauty hacks that are worth giving a shot, from curling lashes upside down (er, sort of) to contouring with sunscreen.

Ready to try these beauty tricks for yourself? Scroll on for all the details.

Get a flawlessly blended smokey eye by applying a dark base

When it comes to achieving the ultimate sultry smokey eye, there’s a fine line between a look that has a deliberately dishevelled edge and one that goes overboard with a little too much black eyeshadow. Typically, the shadows are placed over a light base of concealer (that matches our under-eyes) which makes every swipe of dark shadow pop in contrast — sometimes to our detriment when we’re trying to create a seamless blend. To help us find the perfect balance for a polished yet smoked-out look, we’re taking advice from Toronto-based makeup artist Kevin Kodra.

In his TikTok tutorial, Kodra recommends reaching for a concealer that is much darker than your usual under-eye shade and popping that on the lid to act as your base. “sThis is going to make blending that dark eyeshadow on your eyes way smoother. It’s going to add that transition to your eyes that’s going to make blending a dream,” says Kodra in the video. Set your concealer base with bronzer (instead of a lighter shade of powder), then proceed with your usual concoction of smokey eyeshadows, et voilà! You’ve got yourself a flawlessly blended eyeshadow look with a naturally smokey finish thanks to Kodra’s expertise.

Achieve your longest-looking lashes by…curling them upside down?

@audboos

Replying to @elisetferrell how I curl my lashes UPSIDE DOWN 🕷 #makeuptutorial #grwm #eyelashes

♬ original sound – audrey🛸

Want to take your eyelashes to next-level lengths? Curling your lashes upside down may just be the beauty hack for you — but it’s not exactly what it sounds like. In a viral video with seven million views, TikTok creator @audboos shows us how. Boos begins by flipping her lash curler upside down and over her eyelid, noting that you want to emphasize clamping the “mid-shaft to ends” of your lashes as opposed to the root. After straightening out your lashes with this upside-down technique, return to curling right side up at the root. Once your lashes have been curled to capacity, apply a few coats of your favourite mascara (Boos’s pick is Fenty Beauty’s Hella Thicc mascara) and witness your newly achieved lash length.

In her video, Boos compares her regularly curled lashes on one side to her upside-down technique on the other and the result is undeniably longer, wispier-looking lashes. “It’s insane, even if I load this [regularly curled] side up with mascara, it does not get as long as the one I curled upside down,” she tells her followers. Of course, you want to be safe and gentle giving this trick a try, but if you can successfully do so — we think this may change your lash game forever. No falsies necessary.

Contour with tinted sunscreen

A post shared by Carly Cardellino (@carlycardellino)

It feels like the internet is forever finding new ways to contour — but this is one hack we can get behind, especially as we settle into spring and ease into summer. On Instagram, beauty expert Carly Cardellino shows followers how to achieve a naturally contoured look using two different shades of tinted sunscreens (she uses Supergoop’s Glowscreen). You want to begin by using a shade that is closest to your complexion — the lighter of the two sunscreens you’ll need — as a highlighting base all over the face so that your skin is glowy and evenly protected. Then, apply your darker sunscreen to the areas where you would usually apply bronzer. For Cardellino, this means under the cheekbones, around the perimeter of the forehead, and along the jawline. Follow up by buffing and blending out the darker shade, and you’re left with a sculpted, luminous sunscreen contour look.

Volumize curly roots with this crisscross claw clip technique

@bali_curls

hack für mehr volumen im haaransatz ☺️ schon mal probiert?? #volume #morevolume #curlyhair #hairhavk #curlyroots

♬ original sound – Bali Curls

As a curly girl who loves a bit of volume myself, this hair hack had no doubt reached its target audience when it landed on my FYP. Racking up three million views and counting, this viral video by @bali_curls demonstrates how to add volume to the roots of curly hair with a single claw clip. As seen in the video, start with freshly styled hair following your usual curly hair routine, and begin to crisscross small pieces of hair (as gently as you can without disrupting your curls) at the top and centre of your head until you reach your forehead. Grab a claw clip to hold your overlapped pieces of hair in place until your hiar fully dries, and observe a voluminous cascade of curls upon unclipping your dry hair. Game-changer!

Give at-home nail art a try with paint markers

@sarahbetts

best life hack ever 💅 DIY nail art on a budget ✅ #nailart #diybeauty #dailyvlog #diyhack #diynails

♬ original sound – Sarah Betts

While we can all appreciate stunning salon nail art, it’s never as easy as it seems to recreate these looks at home. Hand-drawn nail art designs are trending once again (did anyone else obsess over nail art tutorials on YouTube years ago?), only this time, we don’t have to buy nail art pens. In a viral TikTok video by @sarahbetts, she reveals how Amazon-bought paint markers are a DIY lover’s new best friend when it comes to creating nail art. From seasonally-appropriate floral patterns to colourful French tips, practically any design you can dream up is possible to create using these markers on top of painted nails. After you’ve drawn on your desired design and let it dry down, coat your nails with a gel polish top coat and seal it all in beneath a LED/UV nail lamp light. It’s that simple! Now, if only we can find a hack for painting and doodling nail art designs with our non-dominant hand…

This article was originally published in January 2023 and has been updated.

With the announcement of this year’s Met Gala theme — “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” — and its corresponding (yet complicated) dress code, “In honour of Karl,” consider the buzz for the 2023 Met Gala fully underway.

The curiosity and speculation surrounding the looks to come and how the theme will translate onto the Met red carpet in May leaves us feeling nostalgic each year as we look to the past in search of clues. In my stroll down Met Gala memory lane, I found celebrity beauty looks to be equally as captivating as their fashion choices through the years.

Be it an 18th century bouffant reimagined in 2004 or nails dripping with “gilded glamour,” there’s nothing I appreciate more than a Met Gala look that’s completely committed to the theme and brief — a.k.a. do whatever is necessary to make the outfit, hair, makeup, and manicure a moment.

In anticipation of the 2023 Met Gala, we’ve gathered 10 of our favourite Met Gala beauty moments of all time.

Cher, 1985

Undisputedly a Met Gala icon, did you think this list would exist without Cher? In 1985, the >Believe singer looked every bit a glittering beauty with carved out cheekbones and hazy lavender eyeshadow at the “Costumes of Royal India”-themed Met Gala.

Naomi Campbell, 1995

Nothing says ’90s quite like chunky blonde highlights, brown-lined lips, and a brightly baked under eye. And who did it better than Naomi Campbell at the 1995 Met Gala? In her peak supermodel era, Campbell complemented her dazzling Versace gown with pure ’90s glam to attend the “Haute Couture”-themed Met ball.

Amber Valletta, 2004

In 2004, Amber Valletta gave us a historical how-to on baroque beauty with this bleached pompadour. A modern Marie Antoinette, Valletta was precisely on theme with this “dangerously” heightened hairdo for the “Dangerous Liaisons: Fashion and Furniture in the 18th Century”-themed event.

Sarah Jessica Parker, 2013

We can always rely on Sarah Jessica Parker for her continual commitment to Met Gala dress codes and dedication to doing anything in the name of a look. It was 2013 and the theme was “Punk: Chaos to Couture” when she paired a complex fishtail bun-meets-braid with a fanned headdress, made by haute couture milliner Phillip Treacy.

Lupita Nyong’o, 2016

Lupita Nyong’o’s 2016 Met Gala look will forever be remembered by this gravity-defying updo (literally). On the “Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology” Met Gala red carpet, Nyong’o revealed to André Leon Talley that her towering hair sculpted by hairstylist Vernon François (who also styled her shapely afro at the 2021 Met Gala), was partly inspired by the legendary Nina Simone.

Rihanna, 2017

For the “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between”-themed event in 2017, Rihanna proved herself a master of the “art of the in-between” and the art of Met Gala beauty. Painted by MUA Lora Arellano, RiRi’s Met makeup was the epitome of a statement look, with fuschia-flushed cheeks that melted into metallic pink eyeshadow accented by a bold berry lip.

Lily Collins, 2018

Photography by Getty Images

A real renaissance beauty gone rogue, Lily Collins challenged the notion of “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination” with her occult-inspired glamour. The look featured a gunmetal smokey eye and Swarovski crystals complete with a single red tear drop. “I’d been thinking about rubies and stigmata and these virginal tears, all the religious iconography that goes with the theme,” said celebrity MUA Fiona Styles, creator of the look, on this symbolic teardrop in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

Lady Gaga, 2019

Photography by Getty Images

As host of the 2019 Met Gala with the theme “Camp: Notes on Fashion,” Lady Gaga’s entrance was pure camp, complete with four jaw dropping outfit changes. Yet even throughout this theatrical display of couture, we couldn’t take our eyes off of her gold foil lashes and hot pink lip. Crafted by Sarah Tanno, an up-close look at Gaga’s glam reveals black and white graphic liner with under eye jewels, too.

Barbie Ferreira, 2021

Photography by Getty Images

Though it was only her first appearance at the Met Gala, Euphoria star Barbie Ferreira’s vintage glamour-inspired makeup for the “In America: The Lexicon of Fashion”-themed event will go down as one of our favourite beauty moments in Met history. Thin brows, a pop of purple eyeshadow and pearl accents resting at her middle part punctuated the roaring ’20s makeup look by Kali Kennedy.

Cardi B, 2022

Photography by Getty Images

On a busy Met Gala red carpet, it can be difficult to spot a manicure worth mentioning. But when we do, it’s because it’s truly a work of art. With her golden talons bedecked with silver chain detailing and a wrist chock-full of gold and silver jewels, Cardi B’s manicurist @MarieNailz nailed this look for the “Gilded Glamour” theme.

Hot off the Canadian launch of Hailey Bieber’s Rhode skincare line, the brand has just dropped a juicy new flavour of its best-selling Peptide Lip Treatment that’s sure to become a summertime staple. This limited-edition Passionfruit Jelly flavour has all the lip-loving properties we know and love from the OG treatments (thanks to moisturizing shea butter and plumping peptide ingredients) with a citrusy twist that feels like a “vacation for your lips.” (One that we could all use right about now after a long Canadian winter.) Perfectly suited for a sunlit getaway, the product smells of ripe passionfruit,  jasmine petals, and citrus-filled grapefruit. BRB, booking a direct flight to the tropics and bringing this lippie along for the ride.

Innisfree is revamping the retinol game

Korean beauty brand Innisfree is reimagining retinol with a collection of two new skincare products you’ll want to add to your medicine cabinet. The Retinol Cica Collection — inclusive of the Retinol Cica Moisture Recovery Serum and the Retinol Cica Patches — is powered by hero ingredients retinol (which smooths wrinkles and improves skin texture) and cica (aka tiger grass, known to soothe skin). This skincare duo is great for anyone who’s been on the fence about giving retinol a go. The lightweight serum is gentle enough for daily use by those who are new to retinol, and the patches are a soothing solution for treating troubled spots.

Tom Ford revamps an old favourite

Tom Ford’s original Grey Vetiver fragrance just got a bold upgrade. On the outside, the new Grey Vetiver Parfum captures the cool, masculine essence of the brand in a silver sleek flacon bottle. And inside, the fresh orange flower and rich saffron noted fragrance inspired by the sharpness of Tom Ford’s signature tailoring and styling is waiting to be spritzed.

Bioderma launches a sensitive-skin-approved defensive serum

Shopping for skincare can be a tedious process for those with sensitive skin, but Bioderma’s Sensibio range is filled with sensitive skin-friendly product offerings —including a new serum. The Defensive serum is the brand’s first long-lasting and soothing moisturizing concentrate, which seeks to target “inflamm’aging” — a combination of inflammation and signs of aging (such as fine lines and wrinkles) caused by external skin aggressors like UVA rays and pollution. By soothing, strengthening and hydrating the skin and its barrier with the aid of skin-loving ingredients like vitamin E, this gentle serum acts as a protectant against unwelcome inflamm’aging.

Fika Beauty releases a travel-sized beauty kit

Travel-sized beauty products are always a hot commodity during the spring and summer months. And if you’re in the market for new beauty minis to pack for your next trip, consider Fika Beauty’s latest launch. The Canadian clean beauty brand’s #Fikafresh Amenity Kits include a new carry-on approved shampoo, conditioner, and body wash —plus Fika’s hero all-in-one glow oil and grapefruit scrub products. What’s more, it comes with a chic pink travel case that’ll slip easily into your luggage with all of your essentials already stored inside.

There’s a lot going on in the world of hair on TikTok these days.

The slicked-back bun is the unofficial hairstyle du jour. Black cherry dye jobs have emerged as the colour of the season. And the rise of coquette beauty is pushing bow-bedecked hair tutorials onto our FYPs. But the latest hair trend to go viral is about much more than mere aesthetics. TikTok’s “hair theory” is about what your hairstyles say about you, and how they lead you to be perceived. So, let’s talk about it.

RELATED: How To Hack Your Way to Good Hair Days

@abbyroberts

literally different people lol

♬ original sound – ✰

Amassing a cool 70 million views, the #hairtheory hashtag generates an infinite stream of videos in which TikTok users seem to shape-shift before our eyes as they wear different hairstyles in each short clip — showcasing how switching up your hair can alter your overall appearance. A simple tucking of hair behind the ears allows for a full view of one’s true face shape, which can be missed by styles that typically cover the ears. Other videos reveal how flattering an out-of-character middle part can be on a serial side-part wearer. Pointing out the fact that your face changes when your hair does is stating the very obvious, but the “theory” aspect of this trend is less about the way these styles make you look, and is instead, all about perception.

Though the concept of hair theory is loosely defined on the app, the general consensus is that its deeper meaning explores how hair has the ability to change the way that others perceive you and even treat you. For example, a messy bun in the workplace may suggest that you’re more laidback, resulting in different treatment compared to someone who has, say, opted for a slicked-back style in the same setting. Or in athletic spaces, having your hair meticulously styled could have you wrongfully judged as less of a competitor.

Further unpacking this theory, TikTok user @burcibasi ‘s viral video (above) points to the psychological phenomenon of “enclothed cognition” which changes others’ behaviour towards you based on your clothing, and how this idea can be applied to hair. In the comments of the same video, one user weighs in on how the length of their hair plays into this theory, writing, “It’s so true though bc I have short hair and when I put my extensions in for a night out I’m treated sooooo differently.” Another user writes, “Curly girl, definitely treated different when it’s straight and told I look more sophisticated.” This is a narrative that also carries over to Twitter, where the hair theory discourse continues.

While the TikTok trend is focused on making hairstyle changes, users have also pointed to how different colours can affect their treatment in a “blondes have more fun and brunettes mean business” sort of way. In a TikTok video that has garnered nearly three million views, @sabrinasallum explains how her hair colour changes have affected her dating life (red nail theory, anyone?) and the way she was treated by men, citing that she went on the most dates as a blonde. “Now I just have my natural black hair and I feel like I don’t get nearly as much attention as I used to, but I’m OK with that because this is my natural hair colour. So, I would rather a guy accept me for this and know that he actually accepts me and who I am (rather) than accept blonde hair because it’s his kink.”

Here’s what we have to say about hair theory: it’s obvious that switching up your hairstyle will affect your overall appearance and there’s lots of hair inspo to be taken from the trend, but your hair does not define you. And the styles you choose to wear don’t either. Hair can be a fun form of creative expression that changes daily based on your mood or your outfit — so when it comes to hair, you do you. We can’t deny there’s truth to the idea that hair can affect the way you’re treated by others, and what this trend brings to light is that there’s a larger conversation to be had about why that is.

As a wise old internet meme once said, “I no longer wish to be perceived.” And we don’t, either.

What’s slick, sleek and chic all over? A slicked-back bun, of course.

Worn for decades in Black and brown communities, backed by seemingly every content creator on TikTok, and worn by trendsetting models like Bella Hadid, it’s clear that this slicked-back style has major staying power.

Its cleanliness gives off a polished look that everyone loves — hair that’s been styled but not overdone. It snatches the face for a naturally sculpted model-off-duty look. It’s simple enough to style. But there is a fair amount of personal preference and self-assessment that should come into play before you attempt a slicked-back bun. Ultimately, the success of this style is largely determined by the products you choose.

Sure, a brush and a holding product of some sort are the absolute bare necessities, but your dream slicked-back bun may be the result of a more personalized and involved concoction of products. Do you prefer the finish of a cream or gel? Does your hair type require products with extra hold? To mousse or not to mousse?

From must-have brushes to frizz-taming favourites, we’ve rounded up 10 of the best slicked-back bun essentials to help keep strands sleek and stray hairs in check without leaving behind a greasy finish or product build-up. Whether your hair is naturally straight or coiled, we’ve got you covered below.

Selena Gomez’s beloved Rare Beauty has an impressive lip product portfolio, featuring lipsticks, lip balms, and lip creams. But just this week, the brand launched lip oils that are already selling out because they’re that good. Introducing: Rare Beauty’s Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil. Inspired by the brand’s best-selling Soft Pinch Liquid Blushes, this innovative, non-sticky lip jelly is uniquely formulated to transform into a weightless tint. This is thanks to its inclusion of jojoba and sunflower seed oil in the formula. On Wednesday, Gomez uploaded a try-on TikTok showing off four of the eight shades that are now available to shop at Sephora Canada. We’re officially convinced that we need them all.

Dr.Jart+’s best-selling Cicapair Tiger Grass Camo Drops have just hit the Canadian market via Sephora Canada. This colour-corrector is designed to neutralize redness with its green-to-beige formula that blends into your skin’s natural complexion. The star ingredient, tiger grass, functions as an herbal remedy for healing. And the protective properties of mineral sunscreen shield the skin from damaging UV rays.

Everist and Bluebird Climate collaborate

Just ahead of Earth month, Toronto-based beauty brand, Everist, has partnered with software platform Bluebird Climate. Since Everist is focused on the creation of sustainable hair and body concentrates, this partnership seeks to track how these concentrates compare to standard water-filled haircare products. As it turns out, the Everist shampoo concentrate produces up to 77% less carbon emissions and 62% less waste than your average plastic-packaged shampoo. This is due to the product’s concentrated size, fully recyclable aluminum packaging, and plant-based formulation. What’s more, the brand now makes their concentrate tubes with 100%. post-consumer recycled (or post-industrial recycled) aluminum and has a new plastic-free aluminum tin format for its scoopable products. To learn more about this exciting partnership, head to the Everist site starting on April 1st.

Traditional spa treatments are always a treat, but there’s an emerging genre of spa-like sanctuaries that seek to deliver a deeper experience by putting mental health and well-being at the forefront of their services. Offering up calming hypnosis sessions, endorphin-boosting experiences, and restorative thermal treatments, these tranquil locales are not your average spas.

RELATED: A Guide to the Very Best Toronto Spas

From the west to the east coast, we’ve narrowed our selections down to five must-visit wellness spas across the country. Scroll on to slip into a state of pure bliss.

Four Seasons Hotel Toronto Wellness & Bio Bar

Located within the five-star spa at Four Seasons Hotel Toronto, the new Wellness & Bio Bar is now open to the public. Short for “biohacking” (the do-it-yourself biology that aims to improve one’s health and quality of life via various techniques and interventions) this bio bar is on a mission to address its guests’ health and wellness needs based on a four-pillar goal model. Whether you’re looking to improve your mental, physical, spiritual, or sexual well-being, rest assured there is a service available here to help you do so. Four Seasons Hotel Toronto is the first luxury hotel in the city to introduce touch therapy — a treatment for those living with cancer where specific skin conditions can be addressed to reduce pain and inflammation while strengthening the lymphatic system. Expecting mothers can benefit from the Mom-to-Be-treatments, which offer a soothing selection of massages designed for those in their second and third trimesters. Or, for an all-around wellness boost that improves sleep and calms the nerves, book a hypnosis appointment with renowned hypnotist Asad Mecci to unlock your full potential.

Mysa Nordic Spa

Out on the east coast, Prince Edward Island’s Mysa Nordic Spa is the first of its kind in the province. Situated on 18 acres of pure peace and serenity, this spa aims to help guests immerse themselves in nature, awaken the senses, and leave the experience feeling stress-free through acts of meditation, essential oil steaming, sauna sessions and more. Although, the must-do here is a run of the “thermal experience”. This spa is inspired by ancient Scandinavian rituals in which participants will alternate between moments of hot, cold, and rest temperatures to release tension and allow the body and mind to feel rested. At Mysa, guests can experience this practice as they cycle between baths and saunas for an invigorating and rejuvenating rush. On the sustainability front, Mysa also relies on a fully renewable woodchip boiler that produces optimum efficiency and emissions to power its spa facilities.

Unbounded Well

In Toronto, Unbounded Well is inviting guests to “take the plunge” in the name of somatic wellness. The cold plunge, that is. This is the city’s first outdoor wellness playground with offerings that include private, self-guided, and guided experiences focused on hot and cold therapy, breathing techniques, and movement. Guests can bounce between Scandinavian saunas, a geodesic breathwork studio, and, most notably, the cold plunge wells, to escape the hustle and bustle of the city  — all without needing to leave the downtown core. The Unbounded cold exposure method is well worth the chilling temperatures, with benefits of this treatment ranging from immune system boosts and improved cognitive function to accelerated recovery and somatic healing.

Circle Wellness Spas

Over on Canada’s west coast, Vancouver natives may already be aware of the Circle Wellness Spa in the heart of the city, but there’s a new Granville Island location set to open up shop soon that we’re excited about. This private thermal spa hosts hydrotherapy and heated stone treatments, fusing therapeutic concepts and ancient wellness rituals with top-tier technology from around the globe for the ultimate wellness experience. Inside the spa’s WelPod sauna, feel free to roam around the open-concept room and absorb its relaxing sound, light, and heat elements in this unique, multi-sensory space where guests come to find their flow and unwind the mind and body. Though the flagship location currently has a lengthy waitlist, the opening of a second spa will allow more room for eager visitors.

Förena Cité Thermale

Embark on a “journey to the frontier of water” at this spa nestled just outside of Montreal. Inspired by traditional Icelandic, Russian and German rituals, Förena Cité Thermale offers a culturally diverse array of massage and thermotherapy services designed to leave guests and their bodies feeling renewed. The “Förena experience” hones in on thermal cycles and thermotherapy, which benefits both the mind and body through the release of bodily toxins by sweating, boosts metabolism, and releases stress while inducing a state of deep relaxation through the release of endorphins during the water-based cycles. As for massages, each treatment is specialized and targets the needs of guests from mothers-to-be to those seeking to combat skin fatigue and pent-up stress.
