November 16, 2021 at 11:18AM When I first caught wind of the fact Harry Styles was launching a beauty brand, I had mixed feelings. Typically, I’m pretty against celebrity beauty brands because I don’t believe that the world of beauty needs any more products adding to it. If you’d have asked me five years ago what I imagined a Harry Styles beauty line would look like, I would have assumed it would be the sort of thing you’d pick up 3 for 2 in Boots at Christmas and that it would come with a free sticker book.But times have changed. It’s 2021, and Harry Styles is a style icon. A style icon with great nail polish game, might I add. So when a big box of product with accompanying merch (a sweater that has garnered a lot of interest on social media but sadly isn’t available to…

November 16, 2021 at 07:10AM Ariana Grande is a woman of many talents, from hitting whistle tones to writing songs that literally anyone can bop to. *Plays “Positions" on repeat.* Another of her more underrated talents is walking—not to mention singing and dancing—in heels that any normal person would break their ankle(s) in. Her latest pair, however, is arguably the "7 Rings” singer’s most impressive yet.Last week, while filming an episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,Grande wore a pair of pink-and-white sparkly platforms that had to be at least seven inches tall. The heels, which were secured with ankle straps adorned with the brand GCDS’s logo, first debuted at the brand’s S/S 22 runway show in Milan. With them, she wore a custom seashell-inspired minidress that featured a separate strapless bra top and a corset waist, an oversized blazer and a choker with a pink teardrop diamond pendant. Try to “Imagine” a better look—we’ll wait. Keep scrolling to see…

November 16, 2021 at 06:52AM The reservation is booked, you’ve already perused the online menu, and the date is firmly in your busy diary. The last thing you want to have to worry about is what to wear. Date-night outfits can cause all kinds of irrational (but totally justified) questions. Do you wear heels? Is it dressy or dressy-casual? Whether it’s a first date, a plan with your S.O. or a soirée with your closest friends, after-dark outfit planning is almost essential to ensure your night is stress-free. With so many trends to decipher, it can become a minefield. But there are some outfits influencers always wear to look effortless, be it a dress-and-boot combo (as worn by Karina of @styleidealist below), a black fail-safe midi dress or a great statement blazer. Rest assured that these six outfit equations below will solve your dressing dilemmas so you can get back…

November 16, 2021 at 06:30AM While there’s genuinely nothing I love more than sharing my favourite beauty finds with people—whether that’s through my writing here or in a flurry of WhatsApp messages with friends seeking a new moisturiser—I can’t deny that recommending a product always makes me feel a bit jittery. After all, I’m lucky enough to be sent lots of products to try as part of my job. While I’d never advocate for anything that I didn’t genuinely think was great, suggesting that somebody actually part with their hard-earned cash to buy it always makes me nervous because—let’s face it—beauty is incredibly personal. A certain cleanser that I’ve said is brilliant at soothing breakouts might truly work, but if my best friend only likes cream textures and I’ve suggested a gel formulation, then it’s unlikely that they’ll fall head over heels for it. Similarly, a specific shade of orange eye…

November 16, 2021 at 06:30AM Along with my stubborn dark circles, having thin hair is my biggest beauty nuisance. While having thin hair certainly has its perks (hello, super-speedy drying time), I personally struggle to get any lift or life into my limp, thin strands—and that makes styling it very difficult. Whereas thicker hair tends to have natural volume, my thin strands require time-consuming styling.Why time-consuming? Well, styling thin hair is no mean feat. Everything from hair spray to supposedly clever creams just seems to add weight, leaving things looking flat and limp in no time at all. As a result, I have spent many years trying to figure out ways to add lightweight volume to my thin hair without excessive use of styling products… or wasting an entire morning, for that matter.Sure, opting for a complementary cut helps, but I have found that…
