I’m a Beauty Editor With Oily Skin, and Even I Love These Cleansing Oils

February 10, 2022 at 06:00AM As someone who’s had oily, acne-prone skin for my entire adult life, I spent a huge number of years (no exaggeration) avoiding oily skincare products like the plague. Glow-boosting oils? No, thank you. Oil-infused cleansing balms? I’ll give it a miss. And my most hotly avoided product of them all? Cleansing oils. If you’re also a member of the oily skin brigade, then I know that you’ll understand where I’m coming from. When you spend all of your time trying to minimise oil production to prevent clogged pores and your makeup routine involves painstakingly applying powder to all the areas that you’re currently shining like a beacon from, then the thought of voluntarily applying more oil to your face feels counterproductive.However, a few years back, a rather lovely facialist recommended a cleansing oil to me during a treatment, explaining…

This TikToker Transforms Designer Dust Bags Into Chic Corsets

February 09, 2022 at 11:25PM If you’re planning to splurge on namebrand products like Burberry and Prada, don’t let the dust bags go to waste sitting in the back of your closet. Flexing her creativity, TikToker @shaleseatlanta, aka Shalese, made a habit of repurposing luxury bags from Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Gucci, and more into DIY corset tops that are so chic we may never throw another bag away again. “A lot of the dust bags that I’ve used are from pieces that I’ve had for a while and I just thought to repurpose them,” Shalese tells POPSUGAR. “I think the process of altering takes a little bit longer than actually making the piece.” Shalese picked up the basics of sewing at an after-school club in elementary school, but she recently took up the hobby again as a way to keep herself busy during…

Special Message from FASHION’s Editor-in-Chief

February 09, 2022 at 08:30PM You are unapologetic about who you are. And so are we. So FASHION has adopted a new tagline: Unapologetically Ourselves. We feel it reflects where we are now since transforming, two years ago, from a traditional women’s magazine to a brand for all ages, sizes, genders, ethnicities and orientations. Since then we have written about so many fascinating fashion and beauty lovers — from a guy who wears sequins to an 80-year-old woman with pink hair. We have featured people with a range of styles — from elegant to eccentric. And we’ve heard over and over again how emotionally and spiritually connected our subjects are to their fashion and beauty choices. So when our team gathered for an editorial conference a few months ago to discuss future story ideas, we realized that we are living in a new…

Kim Kardashian Wears High-Fashion Armor in Striking, Third “Vogue” Cover

February 09, 2022 at 06:50PM Kim Kardashian is embracing independence. Though headlines about her high-profile divorce and dating life abound, the reality star and billion-dollar entrepreneur is prioritizing herself. “My 40s are about being Team Me,” Kardashian said in a new “Vogue” cover story - her third in eight years. “I’m going to eat well. I’m going to work out. I’m going to have more fun, spend more time with my kids and the people who make me happy.” For the March 2022 cover, styled by fashion editor Carlos Nazario, Kardashian wears a watercolor dress with a sculptural, silver breastplate from Loewe’s spring 2022 collection. Save for several flash photography shots with Kardashian’s four children, the spread features muted tones, not unlike her monastic home. In other photos that evoke Cher, Nina Simone, and Cleopatra, Kardashian wears cutout gowns by Valentino and Balmain,…

Is Adele Engaged?

February 09, 2022 at 06:46PM After the emotionally exhausting and tearfully tumultuous few years Adele has had — as thoroughly documented on her new album 30 — the British singer deserves a win. And not just a few wins, ALL the wins. During last night’s Brit Awards, Adele did just that, taking home the night’s top prizes: Album of the Year, Song of the Year for “Easy on Me,” and Artist of the Year. The singer dedicated her awards to her son Angelo and her ex-husband Simon Konecki. ​​”I’d like to dedicate this award to my son. And to Simon, to his dad. This album was all of our journey, not just mine, and I’m very proud of myself for sticking to my guns and putting out an album that was about something so personal to me,” she said through tears. “‘Cause not…

J Lo’s Bridal Minidress Quite Literally Says “Marry Me”

February 09, 2022 at 05:15PM Jennifer Lopez was offering wedding-dress inspiration at her latest red carpet appearance. On Tuesday night, Lopez attended the premiere for her upcoming movie “Marry Me” with Ben Affleck by her side. Dressed by her stylists Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn, the actor-singer wore a playful, long-sleeved lace dress from Giambattista Valli, accessorizing with sparkly Jimmy Choo heels and a floral clutch. Affleck, on the other hand, wore a sleek black peacoat over his dark suit. The illustrious feminine silhouette is from the fashion house’s first-ever bridal collection - a fitting choice for the movie’s romantic theme. While we’ve seen Lopez in many white gowns and bridal-inspired creations - most recently in the “Marry Me” trailer wearing a bedazzled wedding dress - with Bennifer going so strong, it’s hard not to imagine her premiere look as inspiration for future…

February 09, 2022 at 04:15PM As those with mobility and accessibility needs know, mastering the skill (and sometimes strength) required to get the hair and makeup looks you long for without a few hacks here and there can feel like an unfair struggle. “There are so many people who don’t call themselves disabled or consider that they have accessibility needs, but they might have hand tremors from normal, daily tasks such as typing all the time or simply ageing,” says Bella Strange, a pro makeup artist, who along with expert hairstylist Susan Shipley, is appearing on Fashion Dis, a new show that features head-to-toe makeovers for those seeking adaptive solutions. We asked Strange and Shipley about the many face and the hair and makeup tools and formulas that can potentially make your daily beauty routine a lot more accessible. What are some common…

Balletcore is a Refined Take On Athleisure

February 09, 2022 at 04:05PM At a time when life feel less like the Nutcracker and more like Swan Lake, channeling the off-duty ballerina can feel like an elegant escape. Enter balletcore. For months, balletcore has been gaining traction on TikTok, the undeniable breeding ground for aesthetic subgenres. Comprised of leotards, wraps sweaters, turtle necks, shrugs, flared leggings, wrap tie skirts, ballet flats and tightly fitting coats, the feminine aesthetic might conjure an image of a ballerina draped in pearls, perfume and light pink hues en route to rehearsal. Balletcore is largely inspired by the 2010 dark thriller Black Swan, starring Natalie Portman as Nina Sayers opposite Mila Kunas as Lily. (A CliffsNotes guide: In a production of Swan Lake, Nina is overcome by the pressure of her competition with Lily and descends into madness.) But the relationship between the fashion industry and…
