TikTok Isn’t Always Right—This Is Why You Shouldn’t Be Using Lube as Primer

November 10, 2021 at 06:30AM TikTok has blessed us with many great things: mouth-watering recipes, killer outfit transitions and a shedload of beauty hacks. However, as someone who has dedicated her entire career to helping people get the most out of their beauty products, I beg you not to put lubricant on your face. As a beauty editor, I don’t shy away from being outspoken on pointless viral hacks, but I must admit this is the first time I have actually felt compelled to dedicate an entire article to one. If you have been on TikTok at all over the past few months, there’s a high chance you will have seen many videos with TikTokers showcasing the beauty hack du jour—using lube as a skin-smoothing, pore-disguising makeup primer.Yes, you did read that correctly. TikTokers are prepping their skin for makeup by applying lubricant. And it’s…

These Coats Are So Warm They Feel Like Actual Duvets

November 10, 2021 at 06:00AM Approximately 10 minutes after it was announced about the lockdown back in November 2020, I started a hunt for a coat that could actually double as a duvet. If my life was going to be al fresco, I wanted to be cocooned in as much padding as possible. After a week of searching, I settled on an oversized puffer from Arket, which is made from recycled down and is quite possibly the warmest thing I’ve ever put on my body, and I have a feeling it will remain a staple for winter 2021. In my research, I’ve looked at every puffer coat on the internet, so I thought I’d share with you my rather extensive shortlist of coats, many of which are back in stock this season. If you have a higher budget, Moncler, Max Mara and Prada are the clear front runners, and unsurprisingly, I’ve found that Scandi brands really…

The Winter Staples to Invest In This Season

November 10, 2021 at 04:00AM When it comes to winter dressing, we’re all about making considered, investment purchases we can rely on to carry us through the season. Summer outfits may have all the fun and frivolity, yes, but prints and brights can date easily so it’s difficult to know what will survive into the next season. With autumn/winter you can always count on a palette of rich hues, creamy neutrals and interesting textures to feel not only appropriate but elevated. So you can be more confident committing to quality pieces you can pull out year after year. You can also rely on just a few key hero pieces to carry your whole winter wardrobe— that’s where buying less but better comes in.

The Crown Just Re-Created Princess Diana’s “Revenge Dress” With Scary Accuracy

November 09, 2021 at 05:44PM Filming is underway for The Crown’s fifth season, and the costumes promise to be second to none. Elizabeth Debicki, who you may remember from The Night Manager or The Great Gatsby, is set to play Princess Diana in her early 30s in the 1990s. (She takes over for Emma Corrin, who played the icon in the ‘80s.) Thanks to paparazzi images, we have a sneak peek of perhaps the royal’s most famous outfit, second to her wedding dress: her “revenge dress." But first, a little background. Princess Diana attended a gala at the famed Serpentine Gallery on June 29, 1994, wearing an off-the-shoulder black dress by Christina Stambolian, a Greek designer who established her brand in London. Earlier this same day, a documentary aired, in which Prince Charles admitted to having an affair during his marriage to Diana. The timing of the event, where the…

I Asked a Dermatologist How to De-Puff Eyes, and the Answers Really Work

November 09, 2021 at 08:00AM The skin around your eyes is very delicate and thin, so you want to be gentle with it. That means using the right products and avoiding rubbing, scratching, or pulling at the area. Because that area is so sensitive, you might also find yourself dealing with things like dark under-eye circles, dryness, and puffiness. The latter part is one thing I’ve been dealing with a lot lately, so I went to a dermatologist for some answers.In fact, puffy eyes are one of the most common concerns that patients bring to their dermatologists, says Kathleen S. Viscusi, MD, FAAD, FACMS, co-founder and partner at Dermatology and Surgery Specialists of North Atlanta (DESSNA). Treating puffy eyes is a bit more complicated than you would think. “Effectively addressing this concern for each patient is much more variable. Just as there isn’t…
