The Cult Moisturisers Meghan Markle, Rosie HW, and J.Lo Actually Use

September 20, 2021 at 08:00AM A good cleanser might be the foundation of any successful skincare routine, but finding the right moisturiser can take your skin to the next level. While celebrities might have access to the very best facials and skincare experts in the business, there’s no doubt that most of the A-list have seriously good skin, and a lot of that will be down to the moisturiser they slather on daily.Although there are celebrity exceptions (Emma Stone reportedly loves olive oil, while Pixi Geldof swears by argan oil), a little bit of digging proved that basically all our favourite celebrities were loyal to one moisturiser. Ranging from £13 to £350, there’s a whole mix of price points and skincare solutions here, but keep scrolling for the very best moisturisers that the likes of Meghan Markle, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Victoria Beckham actually use.After Alexa’s favourite…

We’ll All Be Dyeing Our Hair These 5 Colours for Autumn, According to Stylists

September 20, 2021 at 08:00AM It isn’t just a change in season that autumn’s arrival marks—it’s a change in mindset too. For me, when it comes to beauty, the shift from summer to cooler climes has me instantly drifting towards hibernation mode and that means focusing on a more nourishing skincare routine (cleansing balms and hair masks are my current beauty BFFs), and embracing deeper hues in my makeup bag in the form of classic berry-toned lipsticks and grungier nail colours.When it comes to hair, though, along with the inevitable turn to the dark side, celebs and fashion girls have been stepping out in a spectrum of fresh colours for autumn 2021. My go-to hair salon, Muse of London, is taking inspiration from the kitchen cupboard with a spice rack-inspired menu of hair colours for autumn, from turmeric to paprika. While editorially we are…

J.Lo’s Outfit for Date Night With Ben Is Perfect If You’re Over Skinny Jeans

September 20, 2021 at 08:00AM How does Jennifer Lopez dress for a date night in Los Angeles? Well, for dinner with Ben Affleck at celebrity-favourite restaurant Craig’s, she kept it sleek and simple in a slim-fit tank top, high-waisted, wide-leg trousers, and some designer jewellery. (Oh, and don’t forget her best accessory of all: her ripped arms.)Wide-leg trousers are a fun trend to experiment with if you’ve been wearing your go-to skinny jeans to shreds lately. The pants are super comfortable and easy to wear yet look a lot more polished than denim, making them perfect for date night.

These Emmys Red Carpet Beauty Looks Were So Good We’re Still Recovering

September 20, 2021 at 07:50AM TV’s (and now streaming’s) biggest night is here—the Emmys. While last year’s show was mostly virtual, this one is in person, but it’s not exactly like past shows. The guest list is smaller, with just nominees and a certain number of guests, and there’s a limited red carpet.Even though it’s a smaller red carpet, hey, at least we get one! As we’ve seen with both the VMAs and Met Gala, everyone seems to be turning it up even more, perhaps to make up for lost time. We’re not mad about that. While we love to see what everyone’s wearing, we’re equally excited about the makeup looks. Granted, the Emmys might be a little bit more subdued than the VMAs and Met Gala, but there were some dramatic and showstopping beauty looks this year. Take a look at some of our…

September 20, 2021 at 06:09AM It’s Fashion Week season! Well, sort of. While some of the action is still taking place on a digital scale, this feels like the first time shows are going ahead with a semblance of normality about them since the start of the pandemic, and we think that’s worth celebrating.

No Lingerie Collection Is Complete Without These 7 Staples

September 20, 2021 at 06:05AM The vast majority of lingerie trends come and go, but knickers are for life, which is ironic seeing as they’re the underwear style that is constantly overlooked. Bras command most of the attention, likely because they can be styled in a way that makes them integral to your outfit—think a flash of lace underneath an unbuttoned blouse or simply on its own as your ensemble’s main focal point. However, as knickers are, for the most part, going to be covered up (sheer and naked dresses aside), they’re all too often forgotten about. It’s a shame because there are so many beautiful briefs out there.Now, though, lingerie brands are putting knickers back in the spotlight, making shopping for your smalls a more stylish endeavour than ever before. But do you know your Brazilian from your bikini? Your French from your…

These Are the Best Cleansers for Every Skin Type, According to Experts

September 20, 2021 at 06:00AM Ask any skin expert what the most important part of your skincare routine is, and hands down, you’ll find that the answer is always the same: cleanser. It’s no surprise, really. Cleansers are basically the cement that holds the rest of your products together. Get that first step wrong and the rest of your routine is likely to crumble. Not only do cleansers do the hard work of removing daily grime, pollution and makeup from your skin, but if you choose the right one, it can also do everything from sloughing away dead skin cells to calming breakouts. With so many cleansers out there, how do you really know which one is going to do the best job for your skin?To start with, it’s important to really understand your skin type—something which can be genuinely confusing to the…

The No Trousers Red Carpet Trend Jennifer Lopez and Meghan Markle Both Love

September 20, 2021 at 06:00AM I love a good suit. An alternative to the traditional cocktail dress, I love opting for tailored pieces for weddings and other formal events. However, come summertime, I’m a pretty big advocate for going trouser-less. This is why I’m such a fan of the trend that celebs like Dua Lipa and Jennifer Lopez just can’t stop wearing on the red carpet: the tuxedo dress.The perfect marriage of a suit and minidress, tuxedo dresses are essentially just elongated tuxedo jackets or blazers and are sometimes cinched at the waist. They’re a surefire way to look polished for any occasion. What I love most about them is their versatility. They look great paired with towering sandals or pumps, but they can just as easily be paired with any of 2021’s sneaker trends for a casual yet elevated look. Another styling tip? Many tuxedo…
