RELATED: How to Do “Ombré Concealer” and More Beauty Hacks I Learned on TikTok This Month

What’s not to love? Taking cues from Fall 2023 runways and our very own TikTok and Instagram feeds, we’ve settled on six colour trends you can expect to see painted on fingertips everywhere this autumn — including one classic Chanel polish making a comeback, two summer shades getting a fall makeover, and a whole lot more to choose from.

Commemorate fall’s arrival with a seasonally on-brand set of black cherry-coloured fingernails. Thanks to a TikTok video posted this month by vintage makeup enthusiast Erin Parsons, French fashion house Chanel’s best-selling “Vamp” (now Rouge Noir) nail varnish is due to spark an entire colour trend this season. As far as red-black polishes are concerned, Chanel’s is as iconic as it gets.

Since debuting on Chanel’s Fall 1994 runway, this shade has been spotted everywhere from Madonna’s music videos to our TikTok For You Pages. It’s always been a classic, but this fall we’re really feeling the pull of this moody shade.

Who said we have to ditch colour for fall? Instead, trade in your summer brights for opulent jewel-toned polishes. Think: emerald green, citrine yellow, and amethyst purple. These bejewelled beauties make for the perfect transitional shades from summer to fall — and fall to winter.

Go green with Sally Hansen’s Insta-Dri polish in the shade “C-hill Out.” This three-in-one base, colour, and top coat promises to be fully dry after a single coat in just 60 seconds. That’s one, and done.

The latte makeup look was everywhere this summer, and this autumn we’ll be taking the trend to our fingertips with coffee-coloured manicures. Mirroring all of the fall drinks we’ll be sipping, a manicure in the same brown-hued palette seems only right for this time of year. From creamy caramel tones to almost-black espresso shades, you can customize your next set of nails just as you would your favourite fall beverage. So, how do you take your coffee?

Essie’s quick drying Expressie polishes feature an angled brush that allows for easy application with both hands! Plus, there’s no need for a base or top coat here. Shop the shade “Take the Espresso” to really commit to that coffee-inspired look.

Some like it red hot

In case you haven’t heard, we’re in for a red-hot fall — and we’re not talking temperatures. On the Fall 2023 runways, labels like Prada, Bottega Veneta and Valentino forecasted an autumn season full of red garments and accessories. All you’ll need is a fiery manicure to match. Whether you prefer a classic shade of cherry or a sophisticated blood red to get in the Halloween spirit, there’s no right way to do red here. Remember the red nail theory? Put it to the test this season with your boldest red mani, if you dare.

From OPI’s “Classics” collection comes this “Big Apple Red” polish. It’s a totally timeless shade that could never go out of style, and it’s even got Hailey Bieber’s strawberry girl stamp of approval.

Gucci’s “Goldie Red” Vernis à Ongles Nail Polish is a little red luxury in a bottle. Pair this glossy nail lacquer with the brand’s matching lipstick to really lean into the red-on-red trend.

Deep navy

A post shared by OPI Australia (@opiaustralia)

Like latte makeup, the somewhat controversial “blueberry milk” nail trend of the summer is getting a fall-approved makeover. Enter: navy nails. This deep blue is dark enough to capture that moody essence of the season, yet understated enough to be worn with all of your favourite coats, sweaters, and cardigans. Why not do navy?

Londontown’s Lakur Enhanced Colour polishes provide a gel-like finish and wear, without needing to be cured by a UV/LED lamp. This chip-resistant nautical navy shade from the collection is right on trend.

’Tis the season of the witch — and nothing is witchier than a blackest-black set of onyx talons. Sleek, classic, and sexy, you can truly never go wrong with a jet-black manicure for fall. Though, we understand not everyone may be ready for Halloween just yet. If you’re looking for a more approachable take on an all-black mani, try playing with softer nail shapes and dainty designs with black accents instead.

With a “snap and it’s dry” promise, Revlon’s collection of vegan Ultra HD Snap polishes are perfect for a last minute black manicure. And because nail care is just as important as achieving that gorgeous glossy look, these polishes are over 78 per cent naturally derived.

What do Hailey Bieber, Ashley Graham, and Rosie Huntington-Whitely have in common? They’ve all got pro makeup artist Katie Jane Hughes to thank for some of their best glam looks to date. And this month, she’s sharing her expertise with the rest of us beauty enthusiasts via the launch of a new makeup brand, named KJH. Brand!

The Ordinary Unveils a B12-powered serum

In the world of skincare, vitamin B12 is a bit of a hidden gem. We’re sure you’re well aquainted with retinol, vitamin C and hyaluronic acid-powered products, but B12 is the underrated ingredient offering up skin barrier support by remedying dry skin and reducing the appearance of redness. It also happens to be the star ingredient within The Ordinary’s new Soothing & Barrier Support Serum. In addition to providing  sad skin with all of the aforementioned benefits, this soothing serum also has one more impressive selling point we’ve got to credit B12 for. Drumroll, please… It’s pink! That’s right, this vitamin imparts a stunning pink hue. We’re not saying beauty products work better when they’re pretty in pink, but it sure makes doing skincare feel like more fun.

It’s time to kiss dry lips goodbye, because Bobbi Brown Cosmetics just unveiled a collection of non-drying matte lipsticks that are not a want but a need. Available in 12 stunning shades from soft nudes like “Downtown Rose” to rich reds like “Red Carpet”, these skincare-infused Luxe Matte Lipsticks were made for lipstick wearers that love the look of a sophisticated matte lip, but not the feeling of dryness that typically comes along with it. A lip-loving concoction of hyaluronic acid and flower extracts within each lipstick keeps lips smooth, soft, and conditioned, while the mattified pigments provide up to 10 hours of “colour-true” wear. Colour us obsessed.

Olaplex’s newest conditioner is a blonde’s dream

ICYMI: We’re in for a “nepo blonde” coloured fall. In order to banish brassiness and keep your blonde (or grey!) hair bright this season, purple products like Olaplex’s No. 5P Blonde Enhancer Toning Conditioner are a must-have. Although, this just-dropped conditioner is not your average purple conditioner. This baby is brimming with micro-fine purple pigments that ensure a brighter blonde sans unwanted yellow tones. Plus it’s infused with Olaplex’s signature Bond Building Technology so your hair will feel just as nourished and healthy as it is bright.

Last year, Lady Gaga’s Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation nearly broke the internet when it dropped. One year later, its complexion companion, the Triclone Skin Tech Concealer has made its debut. Available in 31 weightless yet buildable shades spanning six shade families and four undertones, Haus Labs has literally got you covered.

Bringing you the best of both makeup and skincare, the powers of this product stretch far beyond just concealing. In addition to its blurring, de-puffing and brightening properties, this non-comedogenic concealer is also packed with skin-loving ingredients like fermented arnica to help reduce redness and irritation, plus a Bioferment 7 Complex that works to protect against environmental stressors.

Elizabeth Arden’s latest launch is a retinol powered must-have

Whether retinol is a regular in your skincare routine or you’re just getting started with it, we think you’ll love Elizabeth Arden’s Retinol + HPR Ceramide Rapid Skin-Renewing Water Cream. In addition to the retinol you know and love, this cream harnesses the power of HPR, a revolutionary retinoid that is ten times more potent than pure retinol.

As far as 2023 hair trends go, we’ve seen the rise of red hair and its many hues, have been on an endless pursuit to achieve the perfect slick back bun, and of course, we’ve seen a surge of blonde, too— courtesy of Barbie. This fall’s hair colour trend forecast includes but isn’t limited to: silky chocolate brown, nepo baby blonde, and cowgirl copper. Feeling like it’s about time to book your next hair appointment? Let these fall-ready hair colours serve as your inspiration.

Chocolate silk

A post shared by Jasmine Tookes (@jastookes)

As the moody atmosphere of the fall season sets in, is there any better time of year to be a glossy brunette? The universally gorgeous “chocolate silk” hair trend sure makes a case for going—or staying—dark this season. This rich shade of chocolate brown is able to remain relatively low maintenance due to its darker hue, while it still looks sophisticated and soft as silk. If you’re naturally brunette, booking a chocolate-coloured hair glaze treatment can help bring out that silky shine. Or, if you’ll be needing a full-on dye job, consider asking your hairstylist for a warm-toned dark brown shade with a subtle golden balayage for a bit of extra dimension, and more of a milk chocolate finish.

Nepo blonde

A post shared by Sofia Richie Grainge (@sofiarichiegrainge)

It costs to be blonde. No, really. Due to its expensive-looking (and truly expensive) glow, this trendy shade of bubbly blonde has earned itself the title of  “nepo blonde.”  You can’t tell exactly how many trips to the salon (or how much money), it may have taken to achieve this bombshell blonde, but the answer was probably a lot. Not to mention it has been spotted on real-life nepo babies like Lily-Rose Depp, Sofia Richie and Hailey Bieber. Nepo blonde seeks to bring that old money look to the rest of us.

“Very much moved on from Barbie blonde, now nepo blonde has a cleanness and clarity — but it’s still got shadows and dimensions through the hair,” shares celebrity hairstylist Tom Smith in a TikTok post. “This is all wrapped up in that quiet luxury, old money trend. So, this is actually utilizing foil work to get blonde all the way through your hair and then carefully shadowing different areas down and making sure that the condition is perfect.” The good news? Once you’ve committed to going nepo blonde, there are a ton of brass banishing hair products like purple shampoos and conditioners that’ll help us non-nepo babies stay bright and blonde on a budget.

Cowgirl copper

A post shared by Emily Ratajkowski (@emrata)

All year long, from the runways to the salon, we’ve been seeing red. And this fall calls for a particular shade of auburn now known as “cowgirl (or cowboy) copper”. Taking inspiration from the colours of the Wild West (think: rustic, worn-in leather) and current fashion trends like the return of cowboy boots, this copper shade lies at the intersection of red and brunette with a dash of bright blonde strung throughout. Loving this look already? Take notes (and screenshots!) from pros like Hair by Chrissy on TikTok who shared her *exact* cowboy copper formula with her millions of TikTok followers.

With Megan Fox taking the plunge and transforming her copper tresses into a “red velvet bob” earlier this week, we wonder if cowgirl copper is the last step for redheads before winter brings in even bolder, cherry-coloured shades for the holidays.

The new bronde

A post shared by Hailey Rhode Baldwin Bieber (@haileybieber)

As its name suggests, bronde is the colour trend that’s not quite brown, but not quite blonde either. Instead, it finds a happy medium so that you can truly have the best of both worlds. “The new bronde that we’re seeing for autumn is really inspired by what we’ve seen from ‘expensive brunette’ and ‘expensive blonde,'” shares hair expert Smith in another TikTok post. “It’s got that real finely woven, multitonal characteristic. But whats most interesting is rather than more caramelly auburn tones that we were seeing in bronde previously, this is shifting much more into the deeper golds.” With this more blonde-leaning bronde expected to trend this season, anyone who went Barbie blonde this summer can seamlessly transition to this shade next. “The previous bronde might have been more suited to natural brunettes or people who wore their hair quite dark but wanted to play with going a bit lighter. The new bronde is more about showing blondes what they could have if they were a little bit deeper,” says Smith.

The subtle money piece

A post shared by Neal Farinah (@nealfarinah)

If you’ve been wary of trying out the money piece hair trend from the ’90s that involves streaking face-framing pieces of hair with high-contrast highlights, this next trend may be the more to your taste. Introducing: subtle money pieces, a more approachable take on the statement style as seen on celebrities like Beyoncé this year. What truly separates this softer version from the OG is its intensity. Instead of that chunky highlighted look you may envision when you hear the words “money piece”, ask your stylist for subtle highlights that still shine around the perimeter of your face, but continue to melt into the rest of your hair to create a softer look. With Queen Bey as your inspo, you can’t go wrong.

The post Five Fall Hair Colours to Ask Your Hairstylist for This Season appeared first on FASHION Magazine.

Paying homage to one of the chicest addresses in all of Paris, Chanel Beauty has unveiled a stunning line of lipsticks named after 31 Rue Cambon — the birthplace of Chanel.

This exquisite collection boasts a 12-shade range taking colour cues from the brand’s heritage. Each bullet is infused with a smoothing oil drawn from the gardenia flower — which also lends itself to the scent of each lipstick — cultivated by the French fashion house itself. “At the Makeup Creation Studio, we not only drew on the Chanel heritage, but we also absorbed the atmosphere of the couture ateliers that provided a lot of inspiration — the colours of this lipstick are our interpretation of Creation at 31 Rue Cambon,” shares Nathalie Lasnet, director of the Chanel Makeup Creation Studio. “This new lipstick is the quintessence of our colour expertise.”

Shades like “Rouge 2.55” reflect the lining of an iconic Chanel purse, while colours like “Rouge Fétiche” are an ode to Madame Chanel herself, who wore crimson flannel ribbons of the same hue around her ankles. With a shade for every occasion, you can sift through this collection to find your ideal fit, as you would inside a Chanel closet.

“In the makeup Creation Studio, we also kept the Chanel spirit of creation in mind, thinking about the atmosphere in the ateliers, the extraordinary people that work there, their expertise, and their desire for excellence — it really is the pulse of the house,” says Lasnet. “The most striking point, is that Cambon is above all an exceptional place of life, creation, excellence and constant excitement, that looks resolutely to the future, and this is reflected in 31 Le Rouge.”

This launch also marks the first Chanel lipsticks to be housed in glass packaging, which were four years in the making under the creative guidance of a master Japanese glassmaker. On the outside, its faceted casing draws inspiration from the mirrors that line the staircase within the 31 Rue Cambon shop. Inside, glass meets metal to make for a refillable and interchangeable product.

“Gabrielle Chanel used to say, ‘Add more lipstick and attack.’ For us, lipstick is a statement — it embodies a woman’s choice to be whatever she wants to be,” says Lasnet. Armed with a 31 Le Rouge Lipstick in your handbag, you’ll truly feel like you can.

Bath & Body Works’ fall candle collection has arrived

It may not feel like fall outside quite yet, but Bath & Body Works‘ new candle collection is bringing the season of pumpkin spice and everything nice to the comfort of our homes. Everyone’s favourite three-wick candles have returned with an autumnal twist, now available in a delicious selection of new gourmand fragrances like “Apricot Green Fig” and “Praline Delight” — plus, fan-favourite scents like “White Pumpkin” and “Marshmallow Fireside”. If you ask us, it’s never too early to indulge in a little fall fragrance shopping.

Charlotte Tilbury drops a hydrating solution for dehydrated skin

Charlotte Tilbury’s best-selling Magic Cream just gained a sibling. The brand’s newest product offering is a total treat for thirsty skin. Formulated with the aid of world-renowned skincare scientists, we present to you: The Magic Water Cream. This gel-based moisturizer uses water lock technology to seal in 100 hours of hydration, while niacinamide and peptides reduce the appearance of pores in mere seconds. After a single month of use, expect to see skin that is clinically proven to be smoother and more balanced. No dehydration here.

Shiseido unveils a do-it-all balm

No matter the season, soothing balms are always a necessity. And Shiseido’s Waso Camellia Multi Relief SOS Balm is a dry skin saviour, indeed. Infused with camellia oil sourced from the brand’s home country of Japan, this multi-purpose balm can be used on the face, hair, and body to relieve dryness with results you can witness before your very eyes in only one day. What’s more, its slim, potted packaging makes it easy to take this balm on the go.

Kiehl’s is celebrating National Acne Positivity Day with a new spot treatment

The arrival of Kiehl’s Truly Targeted Acne-Clearing Solution comes right in time for National Acne Positivity Day, which just so happens to fall on September 1. This liquid spot treatment is formulated with 2% salicylic acid and 4% niacinamide to help prevent acne and reduce the size of stubborn spots, as well as the appearance of post-acne scarring. It’s practically a liquid pimple patch in a bottle — only this time it’s truly invisible.

To understand the magic of purple haircare for blonde babes, let’s get into a little bit of colour theory. On the colour wheel, you’ll find that yellow and purple are direct opposites — making them complementary colours. So, when a bright, cool-toned shade of blonde hair begins to fade or develops a warmer undertone after a few washes post-dye, purple pigment is needed to counteract those orange and yellow undertones that can make blonde hair look brassy. Essentially, purple hair products operate as toners to neutralize lighter colours like blonde, grey and silver (or even dark hair with blonde highlights!) and restore brightness.

If blondes get to incorporate gorgeous lilac-hued shampoos and deep violet conditioners into their haircare routines then perhaps they really do have more fun. Ahead, you’ll find 10 purple hair products that anyone with blonde hair needs to know and shop.

Dae Violet Hour Purple Shampoo

The key to this tone-correcting product is the violet pigments that enhance the depth and dimension of blonde, grey and even lightened brunette hair, while rich desert botanical ingredients like cactus flower extract strengthen hair strands and protect against breakage.

When Paco Rabanne dropped its first name to become ‘Rabanne’ at the start of the summer, we knew that more major changes were soon to follow. Now, two months into the brand’s new era of modern minimalism, Rabanne makes its first foray into the world of luxury beauty. Rabanne Makeup introduces a futuristic yet nostalgic collection of cosmetics: “Eyephoria,” for the eyes, “Rouge Rabanne,” for the lips, “Nudes,” for a luminous complexion, and “Arts Factory,” to satisfy your inner creative with a selection of unparalleled, art-inspired products.

When you’re talking about drying, cakey concealers that crease under the eye, leave Tower 28’s latest launch out of the conversation. Fusing the texture of a serum with the coverage of a traditional complexion product, the Swipe Serum Concealer provides a seamless stroke of medium, buildable coverage that reads like skin. Brought to life with the help of celebrity makeup artist Kirin Bhatty, this sensitive skin-safe concealer is packed with hyaluronic acid and centella asiatica leaf to ensure a smooth, hydrating application that doesn’t stick to dry patches. In addition, the lysine and amino acid that coats the pigments within this concealer promote collagen production and prevent dryness. Available in 20 shades, this launch is a must-have for those with dryer skin types.

Vichy’s newest night cream is a skincare dream

Nighttime is prime time for skincare to do its best work (it’s when all the magic happens!). This is exactly when you’ll want to apply Vichy’s new LiftActiv Collagen Specialist Night Cream—the PM counterpart to the bestselling LiftActiv Collagen Specialist Cream. Infused with hyaluronic acid, rice peptides and shea butter, this night cream repairs and regenerates your skin as you sleep, because the feeling of waking up to happy skin is truly unmatched. The hero ingredient here is resveratrol, which is an active ingredient that helps increase and strengthen the skin’s natural antioxidant defences while enhancing skin radiance and elasticity. BRB, going to dream about this one.

The post Rabanne’s First-Ever Makeup Collection Is Here + More Beauty News appeared first on FASHION Magazine.

One month I’m learning how to makeup-proof my sunglasses and channel supermodel energy using blush, the next I’m hacking hat hair and braids in a breeze — all thanks to TikTok, of course. This month, I’ve been fixated on game-changing makeup techniques like “ombré concealer” and “floating contour.” Plus, I finally learned how to fit all my curls into one claw clip. Who knew TikTok would be such a great teacher?

Below, we break down five must-know TikTok beauty hacks to try this month, and all the products you’ll need to carry them out successfully.

Change the way you do makeup with the “ombré concealer” technique

If there’s one TikTok trend I haven’t been able to escape lately, it’s ombré concealer. With every refresh of my For You Page, video clips of ultra-bright under eyes that seamlessly blend into playful pink cheekbones have certainly reached their target audience. Odds are your favourite #beautytok creators have given in to this technique, too. As you would imagine with a name like “ombré,” this trend involves creating a gradient combination of concealer and liquid blush under the eye for a luminous look that blends out flawlessly and all at once.

Perfectly executed by TikToker @makeupbytammi, this technique begins by building up your light to dark ombré pattern with your lightest concealer at the inner corner, followed by a slightly darker shade, a light-coloured liquid blush, and then your deepest blush on the outer corner. Then, blend the products together using a brush or beauty blender, moving from the inner corner outward, ensuring each section has been thoroughly diffused before moving on to the next. That way, you’ll achieve the seamless finish that makes this trick so impressive. Ombré away!

Saie Beauty’s selection of liquid Dew Blushes serves as the perfect ombré concealer option. Available in six shades from peachy pink to warm terracotta, all skin tones can find their blush blending match here.

Hack the claw clip look for curls

As a curly girl, I know all about the claw clip struggles we face. If you’ve got longer, thicker hair that just won’t seem to fit in the clip, it can feel like this trendy hair accessory simply isn’t for us. That is, until I stumbled upon the above TikTok video by creator @thelaurynicole in which she shares the secret to containing her curls with ease using one hair tie and one clip. First, she begins by pulling her hair into a low ponytail, but instead of pulling all of her curls through on the final loop, she creates a mini-bun and leaves the rest of her hair out. Next, she adds the claw clip on top of the bun and lets the excess curls flow out of it, giving the illusion of having used the clip in the traditional way. And there you have it, your claw clip has officially been curl-certified.

If you’ve always felt no claw clip could contain your thick curls, look no further than Kitsch’s Jumbo Bow hair clips. Made with recycled plastic, these salon-quality clips are as chic as they are practical.

Achieve a softly snatched look with “floating contour”

It’s easy to get carried away with contouring in search of sharp, chiselled cheekbones, but this month I’ve been convinced by celebrity makeup artist Melissa Murdick that less may very well be more. In a video the MUA posted to TikTok, she reveals a contouring technique being referred to on the app as “floating contour.” The makeup trick involves applying a dab of cream contour right into the hollow of the cheek, as opposed to a full stripe of product along the cheekbone. From there, you can gently blend both upwards and inwards along the cheekbone to create a more soft, naturally contoured look. “If you have a round face [or] if you’ve got a heart-shaped face, this is a much better contour spot for you because again it’s just not going to give you that stripe-y weird look,” shares Murdick. As the artist responsible for many of Selena Gomez‘s best glam looks as of late, we’ll take this advice in a heartbeat.

This dual-ended contour stick packs celebrity makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic’s signature contour technique into one convenient tube. On one end, you’ve got your creamy shaping stick. On the other, an angled brush to help you bring your “floating contour” look to life.

DIY your own French tip nail stickers

Freehanding your own French tips, or any nail design for that matter, is no easy feat. Instead, DIY nail hacks like this French tip sticker trick by TikTok user @.sooz make at-home manicures much easier to achieve. All you’ll need to do is paint a few thick swatches of white nail polish with a rounded edge onto to a palette — or any solid surface you don’t mind getting messy — and allow them to dry. Once dry, peel them off and cut the rounded side to your desired French tip look and length before adding the “sticker” to your nail. Melt the excess polish off using nail polish remover and a Q-Tip, and you’ve successfully completed this DIY. “Studies show that this hack has caused a decrease in frustration levels by 100% — that’s all the frustration gone, girl,” shares the creator at the end of her tutorial. Now let’s all breathe a collective sigh of relief.

Don’t let the name fool you, OPI’S Alpine Snow polish is a French tip must-have all year round. It’s a crisp bright white with a fast-drying formula that’ll give you up to seven days of wear.

Get the perfect inner corner eyeliner every time with this technique

Nothing adds a little sultry flair to a makeup look like an exaggerated inner corner. And not to be dramatic, but after learning this beauty trick posted by Canadian content creator @FRO (which racked up three million views, btw) you may never not do your eyeliner like this again. As demonstrated in her video, simply pinch either side of your nose to stretch the inner corner of your eyes to achieve an ultra-fine and precise swipe of eyeliner as you apply the product. When you release your nose, you’ll reveal a seductive eye look that only took a few seconds to create. Fast, and fierce.

Maybelline’s Hyper Easy Liquid Eyeliner is just that — a foolproof liquid liner that anyone can use. Plus, its flex tip applicator ensures there’ll be no skips or gaps as you’re drawing on your inner corner liner for this hack.

Is white eyeliner as deserving of a spot in your makeup kit as your beloved black liner? We’ll let you be the judge. Ahead, we break down six white eyeliner looks that even the skeptics will want to try. Plus, we’ve rounded the highly-pigmented products you can shop to help recreate them.

When in doubt, wing it out

A razor-sharp swipe of liquid eyeliner is traditionally done in black, but using a white liner for this look is just as captivating. If black winged liner gives you an edgy look, white liner has an ethereal quality that’s refreshing and flattering on all skin tones. As demonstrated in this TikTok by Alissa Janay, when both liners are layered next to one another the result is a high-contrast look that is sure to turn heads.

When drawing on a wing, the ease of a pointed liquid liner helps to ensure a sharp, precise flick. Urban Decay’s 24/7 Inks Easy Ergonomic Liquid Eyeliner Pen is easy enough for beginners to use and strong enough to last all day long. Just give it a shake, and it glides right on.

Enlarge the eyes

Looking to create the illusion of larger, wide-awake eyes (even if you’re already several coffees deep and still not wide awake)? White eyeliner is about to become your new best friend. Beloved by makeup artists for as long as we can remember, this classic trick involves using a white eyeliner pencil along the waterline and the inner corner of your eyes. By appearing to extend the natural whites of our eyes, white liner will make your peepers look larger, making you look more awake.

You can never go wrong with a pencil liner! A drugstore pick like this one by Annabelle is the only product you’ll need to recreate this look. Plus, it’s easy on the wallet and the eyes. Literally.

Heavenly highlights

Who said eyeliner could only be used on the eyes? In this TikTok, Toronto-based beauty guru Atosa Aghakhani shows us how a thick white eyeliner pencil can double as a highlighter. Taking the pencil along the inner corners of the eyes as well as the bridge and tip of the nose, this versatile product is able to illuminate the face in just a few strokes. Once blended out, you’ll be left with a subtle, heavenly glow. They’ll never know it’s just eyeliner.

Hailing from YouTube’s prime beauty guru era, the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in the shade “Milk” is considered the holy grail of white eyeliners. Whether used as an eyeshadow base, along the waterline, or for an instant highlight, this product can do no wrong. And it’s approved by Aghakhani; it’s the same product she uses in her TikTok.

Playful graphic designs

Where experimentation and white eyeliner are concerned, the limit to how creative you can get with these looks does not exist. The versatility of white liner means it can stand alone as its own graphic liner look, or it can be the finishing touch needed to complement a more colourful look. And the great thing about this product is that there truly is no right way to do it. Abstract shapes. Whimsical lines. Bold Designs. The choice is yours, but our current obsession is this look by TikTok creator @garancemurru.

For complete control over your white graphic liner, opt for an eyeliner in a pot that comes to life with a thin detail brush. This way, you can freehand your designs and really get creative. Kat Von D’s Super Pomade in the shade “White Out,” is a one-pot product that can be used as an eyeshadow, brow pomade, and eyeliner — perfectly suited for this look.

A subtle burst of brightness à la Beyoncé

A post shared by R O K A E L (@rokaelbeauty)

All eyes have been on Beyoncé since she embarked on her Renaissance World Tour earlier this spring. And if you’ve ever taken a closer look at her glam (guilty!), you’ll notice she kicked the tour off with a subtle dash of white eyeliner to bring her glam together, as confirmed by her makeup artist on the road, Rokael. In an Instagram carousel posted by the MUA, we got a close-up look at Bey’s liner look, which featured a pop of white eyeliner at the outer corner contrasting two sharp lines of black liner. If you’re still on the fence about white eyeliner, take a page out of Bey’s book and give this glam a try.

In order to have your white eyeliner pop in between two strokes of black eyeliner, you’re going to need an ultra-pigmented pencil. Enter Lady Gaga’s Haus Labs Optic Intensity Eco Gel Eyeliner Pencil in the shade “White Onyx Matte.” If white liner has two pop stars’ stamps of approval, it’s got ours too.

Get into “underliner”

A post shared by Dior Beauty Official (@diorbeauty)

As seen on the Dior Couture Spring Summer 2022 runway, the French fashion and beauty house took classic winged liner and gave it an editorial upgrade — and we haven’t stopped thinking about it since. “I took up the theme of signature makeup with an ‘underliner,’ this time in a pure vivid white, sharp line,” shared Peter Phillips, creative and image director for Dior Makeup, with Allure. The look is simpler than you’d think; all you’ll need is a white pencil liner along the waterline and a liquid liner tracing the under-eye and inner corner to get this runway-approved look.

Following Phillips’ advice, you’ll want Dior’s Diorshow On Stage Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in your makeup kit if you plan on “underlining,” any time soon. Its felt tip disperses a vivid blast of colour with a matte finish that won’t budge. No wonder the pros love it.

The post 6 White Eyeliner Looks You Need to Try ASAP appeared first on FASHION Magazine.

Oh, the bliss of at-home skincare rituals. To our beloved sheet masks, under eye patches and facial rollers: You’ve been a delight, but this year we’re due for an upgrade. Do-it-yourself skincare devices are calling and we must answer for the betterment of our self-care regimens — and faces.

Though we still love getting facials, the evolution of at-home skincare technology — think LED masks and microcurrent devices — is showing no sign of slowing down. These at-home and user-friendly devices give us the freedom to DIY many of the treatments traditionally reserved for trained professionals, allowing red and blue-lit LED face masks to target acne or hand-held tools charged by microcurrent to sculpt away at the hollows of our cheeks.

RELATED: This Luxe New Serum Marries Skincare and Psychology

At this intersection of beauty and technology, there are passionate advocates for these take-home tools like JJ Walsh, founder of Vancouver’s Formula Fig, the lush green-tiled beauty bar new to Toronto and Los Angeles. Walsh tells FASHION that Formula Fig’s skincare educators and experts encourage the use of these devices to expedite the healing of treatments carried out in the salon such as laser or nano-needling. And like many other beauty trends, says Walsh, the growth in take-home skincare tech is a byproduct of the pandemic.

A post shared by Formula Fig (@formulafig)

Walsh has labeled this at-home skincare tool phenomenon the “mimic clinic effect” — a recreation of treatments typically carried out in professional settings being used within the comfort of your own bathroom instead. Where self-care is concerned, comfort and convenience are major factors, so the ease of skincare devices that deliver impressive results at home make them worthy of becoming routine regulars. “Pairing these devices with highly active skincare [such as firming creams or lifting serums] in turn offers incredible results, quickly,” says Toronto-based facialist Vee Mistry. “With visible results, customers are more likely to remain dedicated to these tools.”

But the DIY skincare devices on the market are ever-changing, making it difficult to determine exactly what each one does, how it does it, and whether or not it works. The pros agree that the most popular and worthwhile tools on the market are those that use LED lights, microcurrent and cryotherapy. Read on we as unpack the science behind this trendy trio of DIY treatments and their skincare benefits.

LED light therapy

 

View this post on Instagram

 

A post shared by Omnilux (@omniluxled)

LED light therapy uses varying wavelengths of light, including red and blue light frequencies, to combat skin concerns including acne and inflammation. Red light treats the epidermis (the outermost layer of the skin), which absorbs said light and begins to stimulate collagen proteins. The more active collagen is in the skin, the more plump and smooth it appears, which means wrinkles and fine lines will be less visible. Blue light is aimed at the sebaceous glands (oil glands) located beneath the hair follicles which, when overactive, can cause oilier skin and acne. To remedy breakouts, blue light seeps into the skin and slows these overactive glands. Plus, it can also destroy acne-causing bacteria. “It improves skin tone and texture, reduces breakouts and flare-ups, and helps to overall firm and brighten,” says Walsh of LED light therapy, which she adds can also be used to stimulate healing after procedures such as laser.

Microcurrent

A post shared by NuFACE (@mynuface)

As for tech fuelled by microcurrent, what you’ll experience during use is a painless, repeated delivery of low-grade electrical currents that mimic the natural ionic flow of the body and awaken the facial muscles. Think of it as an at-home facelift of sorts, minus the whole surgical aspect. “By using a facial ‘workout’ device frequently and consistently, it stimulates facial muscles to help tone and lift, plus allows the products you apply afterward to work harder,” explains Walsh.

Cryotherapy

 

View this post on Instagram

 

A post shared by SKINBYVEE (@_skinbyvee_)

Cryotherapy is a soothing technique that constricts blood flow to calm the skin while regulating circulation and tightening pores. The anti-inflammatory at-home alternative to clinical cryo facials (where liquid nitrogen is involved) often requires the storing of your tools in a freezer. Freezing temperatures cause blood vessels to contract, so once your skin returns to its normal temperature these vessels dilate swiftly and increase the flow of blood and oxygen to the face. This rush promotes the appearance of brighter, tighter, glowing skin that is also less swollen. So, freezing your cryo tools is absolutely essential if you want to achieve the look of a true “frotox.”

Many of the devices available for at-home use target multiple skin concerns at once (which can limit your spending on several devices), like Mistry’s two-in-one facial tool that combines the benefits of cryotherapy with a gua sha. “Our own SkinByVee Gua Sha Cryo Sticks support in sculpting, lifting, cooling and soothing inflammation, leaving the skin more balanced and controlled, and [stimulate increased] collagen and elastin production.”

As you experiment with high-tech at-home skincare devices, remember we’re talking real technology here. That means there can be consequences for misuse, which is why Mistry recommends having a pro set up your tools and demonstrate how to best use them for optimal results. Not to mention, your skincare devices should be kept clean to avoid causing breakouts and introducing bacteria — especially if your tool exfoliates, abrades, or punctures the skin (think: microneedling derma rollers), Walsh warns. Consult with your aesthetician for advice about any devices that may conflict with health concerns or other procedures you’ve had. For example, if you’ve used Botox recently, Walsh advises waiting two weeks before picking up a microcurrent device.

Finally, experts warn against putting too much pressure on these tools to perform. “I always remind my clients that beauty tools and skincare are only one part of the jigsaw puzzle,” Mistry shares. “To get your best skin, you must focus on the organ as an entire entity — that means we must look at overall health, sleep, nutrition, using the correct skin care prescription and lastly, commitment. These are the important pieces for lasting results!”

For those of us not naturally blessed with even remotely red hair, the hue can be achieved with a hairstylist’s magic touch. To help you prepare for your appointment, salon owner and Redken Canada ambassador Max Gourgues shares everything you need to know about becoming a redhead.

What to know before you go red

Before booking your dye job, Gourgues encourages clients who frequently dye their hair to think twice. “Do not do this transformation if you regularly change hair colours. It is not a colour that’s easy to remove, so think about it before doing it,” he shares. “You can always go for a balayage technique and play around with the gloss formula to try red without changing your natural base.” And if you’ve considered tackling this transformation at home on your own, Gourgues strongly advises against it, as several factors including formulation, choice of shade, and application can affect the process. “It is always best to do this with a professional,” he insists.

Planning ahead

Once you’ve chosen a stylist, you’ll also want to book a consultation to assess your hair and chat about your goals. “If you start with a light (blonde) base, you will not only need to schedule the salon appointment accordingly, but also change your product routine (shampoo, conditioner, treatments, etc.),” Gourgues explains.  “If you start with a dark natural base, you can either go directly with permanent colours for a more natural effect. Want brighter results? You will have to lighten the hair first.” (The same goes for already coloured hair.) And depending on how your consultation goes, Gourgues tells FASHION that some clients may need to undergo “texture” preparation with a stylist — during which the hair will be treated before dyeing so that the colour can be absorbed evenly throughout the hair and give off the most shine.

Colour matching 101

Here’s Gourgues’s breakdown of how to find the best shade of red to complement your complexion. For those with peachy fair skin or freckles, you can pull off all shades of red! But Gourgues’ preference is a light Venetian copper hue that will illuminate your skin tone. Those with rosy complexions should opt for deep orange tones or orange-red shades, whereas auburn tints of reddish copper will work best with deeper skin tones.

Mane maintenance

The upkeep for a colourful head of ginger is no minor matter, but there are a few things you can do to ensure your ruby red locks look their best. Gourgues’ best advice for keeping your colour vibrant after you’ve gone red? Book a hair appointment every four to six weeks, during which a gloss can be applied to your hair to refresh the mids and ends. Between salon visits, you should also be mindful of how often you’re washing your hair. “The number of washes will affect how fast the colour fades,” says Gourgues. “To maximize hold, aim for a wash or two a week. Use a colour maintenance shampoo like Redken’s Color Extend Magnetics for each wash. Prioritize washes with cool water, use conditioner and masks to work on hair texture and shine.”

Now that you’re equipped for a total red hair transformation, go forth confidently with your newfound red hair knowledge and book that appointment you’ve been on the fence about. “If you’ve always been hesitant to try [red hair] or were waiting for a sign to do so, here it is,” says Gourgues. “Have fun, and let your stylist guide you!”

Bernadette Morra, Editor-in-Chief

“I keep a lot of moisturizing neutrals in various rooms around the house because I hate the feeling of dry lips. One of my faves is Brun Yachting, a limited edition shade from the Rouge Hermes spring ’23 collection. It’s just a hint of colour — like my own lips, only shinier.”

“My favourite bold lip colour is Charlotte Tilbury’s Limitless Lucky Lips in Red Wishes. The poppy hue really pops on Zoom calls and is an instant pick-me-up IRL. It’s also long-lasting and the slim tube fits anywhere, even in the tiniest evening clutch.”

Jennifer Berry, Digital Director

“I’m not much of a neutral lipstick girly, but when I do take a breather from my go-to Fenty Gloss Bomb or Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment and I want a subtle kiss of colour, I reach for the Charlotte Tilbury cult favourite, Pillow Talk. With the matching liner, it really gives the ‘your lips but poutier’ look that TikTok says it does.”

“By a conservative estimate, I own 70 red lipsticks. I get at least 10 compliments every time I wear this luscious medium-red shade by Givenchy, with a satin finish that isn’t the least bit drying. So naturally, I continue to reach for it — it’s just math.”

Souzan Michael Galway, Acting Beauty Director

“Normally my (totally arbitrary and based solely on preference) rule about lip products is to reach for a matte finish when I’m wearing red lipstick and go for a gloss when I’m wearing a nude shade. However, when the Armani Beauty Lip Maestro Satin Lipstick shades came out this past spring, all rules went out the window. I’m obsessed with shade Weekend Getaway, a really pretty and easy-to-wear nude/beige. The formula is described as a ‘watery vibrant lip colour inspired by the skin-on-skin satin feel.’ It’s a pretty wash of colour with a satin finish—so not quite matte but definitely not glossy, either—and the comfort of a balm. Perfect for everyday wear.”

“In the last ten years, I’ve come across maybe three red lipsticks—tops—that have totally won me over. You know, 10/10 no notes, etc. This Saie Beauty pick is on the list. I love the sleek black packaging, the sturdiness of the cap (it won’t fall off in your bag and ruin your purse lining — promise), and the finish, wear, and feel of the lipstick. I often reach for the shade Classic, a true red with blue undertones. These days, it seems like every product is described as buildable, but this one truly delivers. When you dab it on, you get a bright, sheer, popsicle-like stain. If you swipe it on, you’re left with a perfect red with a matte finish. And if you swipe it on some more (see: buildable!) you get a stunning burgundy shade that’s just as comfortable as it was two or three swipes ago. And while the colour isn’t completely smudge-proof, it fades evenly, so as the hours pass, the lipstick gradually transforms back into previous stages (burgundy>red>satin) rather than leaving you with a patchy mess.”

Lindsay Cooper, Production Editor

“My lips are naturally quite a bit darker than the rest of my complexion, so typical ‘nude’ shades tend to look a little chalky on me. Instead, I try to neutralize the natural shade of my lips (and make them cohesive with the rest of my makeup) by applying my cheek product to my lips as well, using a product like Milk Makeup’s Lip + Cheek Cream Blush. It’s subtle, but it prevents my lips from overpowering the rest of the look.”

Shop Now

“As a reformed matte-lipstick lover, my first question when trying any new lipstick is, ‘How will this make my lips feel?’ I’m no longer impressed by claims of waterproofness or hours of wear time — I’m looking for something that will make my lips look and feel happy, healthy, and hydrated, like this Lancôme Liquid Lipstick in the shade Rose Fugace.”

Lauren Knowles, Beauty Writer

“As a committed nude lipstick wearer through and through, my purse is home to anywhere from approximately two to five nude lip products at any given moment. And although they may all look the ‘same’ to the naked eye (they’re not!), I’ve got my go-tos. My ideal nude lipstick is soft beige in tone and pairs well with a brown liner — but also glides over lips like a balm while delivering a swipe of long-wearing colour like a classic lipstick. In other words, it’s Chanel’s Rouge Allure Luminous Intense Lip Colour in the shade 206 Illusion.”

“On the rare occasion that I do depart from my beloved nude lipsticks, I take it all the way to the dark side and opt for a vampy shade of deep, chocolate brown. As far as lipstick is concerned, MAC Cosmetics has never done me wrong with their creamy, full-coverage formulas and high colour payoff — which is why I love this matte Antique Velvet shade. And can we just take a moment for that iconic MAC vanilla lipstick scent?”

Natalie Michie, Digital Writer

“With nude peachy-pink tones, this everyday matte lipstick by Charlotte Tilbury in the shade Mrs. Kisses adds just the right amount of colour while staying subtle enough to wear on no-makeup days.”

“This NYX Cosmetics Soft Matte Lip Cream is my go-to for a night out because its rich, dark hue makes for a great evening look and it’s super long-lasting.”

Kayleen Dicuangco, Junior Designer + Photo Editor

“Glossier’s Ultralip High Shine Lipstick in Villa is the perfect everyday lipstick — a comfortable, hydrating formula that leaves the prettiest pink sheen.”

There’s been a buzz in the Beyhive this week, and it’s all because a new Beyoncé fragrance has been teased on the singer’s website. We may not have a name or a clear vision of what it looks like yet, but here’s what we do know: coming this November, fans who preorder this 50ML eau de parfum will be some of the first to get a whiff of this Beyonce.com exclusive fragrance — which has been described as a dreamy concoction of clementine, golden honey (duh!), rose absolute, and golden amber.

Spoiler alert: they’re all gorg.

Graydon Skincare drops a water-based serum that does it all

To keep skin plump and moisturized, it draws from the power of plant-based hyaluronic acid. And if that weren’t enough, peptides and plant-based collagen encourage skin plumpness while Vitamin-C-packed moringa protects the skin from environmental stressors. Is there anything this serum can’t do?

This season, we propose you skip the hot hair tools and buy yourself some extra time by going the air-dry route.

In a modern world full of famous faces and living legends, who would’ve thought that one of the beauty industry’s ultimate influencers would be a 12-inch doll? Since her debut in 1959, Barbie has served as a beauty icon and an inspiration to millions — with countless cosmetics collaborations to show for it. And when she’s not starring in beauty campaigns, she’s lent her good looks to celebrities like Beyoncé for Halloween costumes, and Kacey Musgraves for the Camp-themed Met Gala in 2019.

She is the moment. And this summer, she’s giving our makeup bags a Barbiecore makeover. Ahead of the release of Greta Gerwig’s mega-hyped Barbie film starring Margot Robbie, some of our favourite beauty brands have collaborated once more with the blonde beauty icon to release hot pink collections of makeup, skincare, hair accessories and more, to ensure we’re all living our best Barbie lives this summer.

You’ve seen her on the runway. You’ve seen her on billboards. You’ve seen her on TV. And beginning this fall, you’ll be seeing her front and centre in L’Oréal Paris makeup campaigns. She’s Kendall Jenner, and she’s just been unveiled as the beauty brand’s newest global ambassador!

In retrospect, our first hint that L’Oréal Paris’ new it girl could be the fifth member of the Kar-Jenner clan was practically hiding in plain sight. It was only a couple of months ago when Jenner’s makeup artist Mary Phillips revealed on Instagram that the model wore an exclusively L’Oréal Paris makeup look to this year’s Karl Lagerfeld-themed Met Gala, after all.

A post shared by L’Oréal Paris Official (@lorealparis)

As one of the biggest names in the modelling industry and one of the most famous faces of our generation (she’s only got a cool 350 million followers across her social media accounts), nothing less than a partnership with one of beauty’s biggest brands is to be expected. Where makeup is concerned, we’re used to seeing little sister Kylie Jenner — who solidified her position as a mega beauty mogul with the launch of Kylie Cosmetics in 2015 — or big sis Kim Kardashian — whose revamped KKW beauty line is due to make a comeback later this year — in the spotlight. Yet, here comes Kendall ushering in a new era of L’Oréal Paris.

“At any other time, Kendall Jenner might have been as successful as she is now, but her worth and her choices and her image might have been defined or even controlled by others. But nobody defines Kendall Jenner. She is the embodiment of everything Gen-Z stands for, owning her image, proudly growing in her self-worth, and inspiring others to do the same,” shares Delphine Viguier-Hovasse, L’Oréal Paris global president in a press release.

As a multi-hyphenate model and entrepreneur, Jenner has spent recent years developing an image outside of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, the television show that first introduced Jenner to the world at age 11. “Being in charge of my image is such a blessing. I have had so much fun, especially in the last two years since launching a brand of my own,” says Jenner in a statement announcing the collab. “I feel I am coming into my own womanhood more and more. I get my confidence in knowing my worth. And working hard for what I deserve.” With their synchronized embodiment of sisterhood, women’s empowerment and the brand’s self-worth ethos, this alignment feels like a seamless fit.

A post shared by Kendall (@kendalljenner)

From high-fashion campaign imagery to laidback vacation snaps, Jenner’s Instagram is bursting with It girl energy, and one thing we can glean from the glam shots she shares is that she takes a minimal approach when it comes to beauty. Chiselled cheeks, a nude pout, and a sultry eye are always built up over a fresh-faced base that reads like second skin. It’s no wonder then, that her current favourite L’Oréal Paris product provides that skin-like finish she seems to love.

“I have to say I love L’Oréal Paris makeup, especially the foundations. I think my favourite is Infallible Freshwear,” she shares. “It’s great to find makeup you can put on, that fits your skin, and that you don’t have to worry about — you can just face your day because you know it’s going to resist everything.”

Though Jenner may take a less-is-more approach to beauty, we’re sure that years of work in the modelling industry behind the scenes of runway shows and high-fashion campaigns are bound to have taught this model a lesson or two about makeup, straight from the very best sources in the business of beauty. Jenner’s catwalk career began at the age of 13, and now, at the age of 27, she is recognized as a modern “super” in the modelling world. Having walked in high fashion shows from Versace to Prada, this runway regular earned herself the title of 2018’s highest-paid model of the year at the age of 23 — a title she still maintained just last year. With countless moments in the makeup chair at the hands of makeup legends, what could’ve been better preparation for a role like this?

Jenner joins other beauty icons like Viola Davis, Andie Macdowell, Jane Fonda, Elle Fanning and Kate Winslet as the newest member of the L’Oréal Paris Global Ambassador sisterhood, where we’re sure she’ll thrive under this appointment. We’ll get our first look at Jenner in action in this new role this September, when she’s set to front a new makeup campaign.

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

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.

Thanks to the new Olaplex Volumizing Blow Dry Mist, your blowouts are in for a major upgrade. Powered by the brand’s patented Olaplex Bond Building Technology and bamboo extract, the new Volumizing Blow Dry Mist acts as a blowout booster that can be used on wet or dry hair to keep it protected from heat while simultaneously repairing strands as you style. After use, prepare to flaunt a head full of hair that’s enviably smooth and shiny.

Murad’s newest acne mask is here

To help us keep our skin in order, Murad is expanding its acne control collection with the introduction of the Rapid Relief Acne Sulfur Mask. They say that good things come in threes, and such is the case for this mask’s powerhouse blend of skin-clearing sulphur, exfoliating salicylic acid and hydrating Austrian peat extract.  In just three uses, this liquid clay mask has been clinically proven to minimize the size of pimples and reduce pore congestion, so you’re left with a clearer complexion overall. One more thing: This mask promises not to dry your skin out in the way that clay masks often have the tendency to do!

Beautycounter launches a plumping water cream

We’re pumped (or should we say, plumped?) about the arrival of Beautycounter’s Mighty Plump Ceramide Water Cream this week. With a ceramide-packed formula that plumps like filler and works like skincare, this weightless cream uses two types of hyaluronic acid to deliver a hydration boost and an instant plumping effect. Plus, it’s all stored in a recyclable glass jar that’ll look super chic on your bathroom counter until you’re done with it.

Verb drops a purple leave-in mist

It’s no secret that purple hair products are a blonde’s best friend. Working as a toner, the purple pigments help to neutralize yellow tones and brassiness so that you get a brighter, more balanced shade of blonde. And speaking of purple-hued haircare, New York-based haircare brand Verb has welcomed a new member to its purple product family, and it’s a must-have for those who rock blonde, silver, grey, or even highlighted hair. Introducing the Purple Leave-In Mist — a three-in-one toner, detangler, and hydrator made with açai extract and apple cider vinegar that boasts all of the colour-correcting benefits you’d expect and then some.

RELATED: 10 #PerfumeTok-Approved Scents to Shop Now

Last month, we were all about learning how to underpaint our makeup, Mary Phillips style, and whiten our teeth without aches and pains (even if you struggle with teeth sensitivity!). This month, we’re getting into DIY nail art, makeup-proofing our sunglasses and hacking hat hair. So without further ado, scroll on for the beauty hacks I’ve learned on TikTok this month.

Make your sunglasses makeup-proof

Let’s kick this month’s segment off with something short, sweet, and incredibly useful. We all know that wearing sunglasses over a freshly made-up face during a hot and sweaty summer can be a nightmare — but no longer! Racking up over two million views, this TikTok by @parmidarobateau demonstrates the quick hack that’s bound to change your summer for the best. To avoid having your makeup slide off the bridge of your nose and onto your sunglasses, tap into a translucent powder and press it onto the nose pads of your shades. The result? Sweat-proof, slip-free sunnies that don’t ruin your makeup. Finally!

As far as loose setting powders go, this one is a holy grail. Aside from being used for this sunglasses hack, the Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder sets makeup for up to 16 hours of wear with a flawless, oil-absorbing, matte finish. Available in three translucent shades, there’s something for everyone.

Get glowing with this butterfly technique

When professional makeup artists spill their best tips and tricks on TikTok, we listen. Celebrity MUA Lisa Eldridge shows us how to achieve glowy skin in just five seconds using what she calls the “butterfly” technique. Though Eldridge uses this method in between takes on set to bring a little glow back into her client’s faces, this hack is easy enough for anyone to try. All you’ll need to do is apply a liquid highlighter to the outer edge of your hands and press it over your cheekbones in a butterfly wing-shaped motion. To blend it out, tap it in with your fingertips. “What’s really great is that this [outer] part of your hand is the perfect shape just to fit into that [cheekbone] area,” she says in her video. “I believe that hands are often the best makeup tools.” Touché.

Get that “butterfly” technique glow with E.l.f Cosmetics’ Halo Glow Highlight Beauty Wand. From golden shades like “Champagne” to deep “Berry Radiant,” this product offers up a luminous pop of colour that’ll have you beaming like no other. Plus, its lightweight liquid formula makes it perfect for this hack.

Try these high-maintenance makeup tricks for low-maintenance results

When summertime rolls around, we don’t always feel like caking makeup on — but we still want to look snatched and keep our brows in check. So what do we do? We take notes from Canadian TikToker @tarasigari and the summer edition of her “high maintenance things to do in order to be low maintenance” series.

For her full-brow look, she lines her eyebrows with a lip balm (or Vaseline!) before applying a tint and letting it sit for just five minutes. You’ll be left with bomb brows that only took minutes — but last for up to *three* weeks. As for faking chiselled cheeks, Sigari applies self-tanner along her cheekbones, nose, and eyelids (a technique you may recognize from our TikTok-Approved self-tanner beauty tricks story) to get a longer-lasting contour. We can confidently say that sitting through one high-maintenance beauty session is worth having a summer full of low-maintenance makeup routines, indeed.

Ready to get your best brows? We’ve sourced Sigari’s go-to brow products! From the tint itself to the developer liquid and applicator brush, it’s all available in one convenient kit by Refectocil.

Buy it here: Refectocil Eyelash Eyebrow Tint Dye Kit, $44

Achieve the aura nail look with a sponge

Aura nails are everywhere this summer, and now they’re easier than ever to recreate at home. Forget an airbrush, you can achieve this ombre pattern using nothing but two polishes of your choice and a makeup sponge. Following TikTok user @glossytipped ‘s lead, begin by painting a circle onto the back side of your sponge with the lighter shade of your two polishes. Then, fill in the centre of the circle with your darker shade before pressing the sponge into your nail to reveal the “aura” design. Lastly, clean up the perimeter of your nail with nail polish remover and lock in your masterpiece with a swipe of top coat.

Loved the ocean ombre look from this TikTok? You can shop the same shades used in the video! For the turquoise outer ring, you’ll want to pick up OPI’s “I’m Yacht Leaving” polish. And for the inner ring, try “Charge It to Their Room” from the same OPI summer 2023 collection.

Buy it here: OPI Nail “I’m Yacht Leaving” Lacquer, $16

Hack hat hair with an elastic

Hair hack expert @mariaaiellohair strikes again with another viral video — this time walking us through how to avoid a face full of hair when wearing hats this summer. Using a single elastic, you’ll want to gather the face-framing pieces of hair from either side of your face into one ponytail, if you will, beneath your chin. Next, take that ponytail and flip it over your head like a headband to keep that hair out of your face before popping your hat on.

For styles that require discreet hair ties that you don’t necessarily want to be seen, Goody is our go-to. These ouchless elastics keep your hair secure and are easy to remove without doing any damage. And if you’ve got a lighter hair colour, you can also shop them in a clear shade!

Buy it here: Goody Ouchless Elastic Hair Ties, $4

Designed to cater to curls, Kerasilk’s latest launch is a wash-day must-have for textured tresses. Enter: the Curl Balm. Infused with biomimetic silk and carnauba wax, this conditioning curl cream activates and defines every kink and coil while taming frizz and keeping shrinkage at bay for up to 72 hours. That’s three whole good hair days, folks! And as a curly girl myself, I’d say this product’s “refined, controlled, beautified” mantra is one us curlyheads can get behind for sure.

Youth to the People’s Superfood Air-whip Moisture Cream just got an upgrade

Upgrade alert: Youth to the People’s Superfood Air-Whip Moisturizer is back and better with more hydration than ever. The revamped product is still packed with skin-loving ingredients like hyaluronic acid and a superfood blend of kale, spinach, and green tea — only this time hydration levels have been amped up to six times more than before and can last for up to 48 hours. What’s more, its gel-like texture makes it the perfect selection for a lightweight, summertime moisturizer.

Inkbox’s second nail art drop has arrived

Earlier this year, we were obsessed with Inkbox’s ability to bring its tattoo aesthetic to the world of nail art via nail strips. This week, the DIY tattoo brand announced the expansion of its first nail art collection with an additional eight patterns. Veering away from drop one’s edgier, tattoo-inspired designs, drop number two features fun and fashionable patterns like houndstooth and animal print. If there’s one thing we love, it’s a manicure made easy — and this is it.

Clinique

When it comes to skincare, the inclusion of SPF and moisturizers should be non-negotiables in our beauty regimens. Luckily, Clinique’s latest offering is a hybrid of both! The Moisture Surge SPF 28 Sheer Hydrator packs a glowy punch, while star ingredients like penetrative fermented aloe + HA Complex and provitamin D help stabilize hydration. In addition, the SPF 28 component filters up to 96% of UV rays and protects the skin from potential sun damage — which can manifest as newly developed or deepened dark spots, plus visible signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles.

At the age of 14, Ballerini wrote in a journal that she dreamed of becoming a CoverGirl. Now, one year into her role as the face of the brand, Ballerini is living proof that manifestation is real. Though she’s a frequent (and hilarious) TikTok user, the country-pop star says she hasn’t yet come across #manifestationtok — the side of TikTok flooded with manifestation mantras and affirmations — but truth be told, she doesn’t seem to need it.

This CoverGirl has always been firm in her belief that she’d be a makeup artist if she weren’t a musician, and now she’s doing it all. From living her makeup artist fantasy as her own makeup artist on tour to becoming a CoverGirl and country music icon, Ballerini is as intuitive as she is talented.

Before signing off to go get glammed up (or to go “Hannah Montana” as she calls it) for her next performance, Ballerini caught up with FASHION to chat all things makeup and manifestation.

You’ve said in the past that you’d be a makeup artist if you weren’t a singer. Why is that?

“I just always found it to be a creative outlet, even when I was super young and before I was technically allowed to wear it outside of the house. My mom would let me play in her makeup bag and it was always a form of expressing myself. And then when I got older, before prom, dances, homecoming games and stuff like that, I’d do my friends’ makeup and it just became one of my love languages, really.”

What is your “desert island” makeup product that you can’t live without?

“Mascara! It always makes me look awake. It’s like coffee for your eyeballs, you know? For the longest time I would experiment with different mascaras and I did eyelash extensions but then I was like, this is not great for my lashes. I want to find something that really works. I grew up with CoverGirl mascara. As I got older and learned how to do my own makeup (I do it on tour now and everything), it’s just become my staple, especially Cleantopia [mascara].”

We’ve heard you manifested becoming a CoverGirl by writing about it in a journal as a teenager. Have you manifested anything else in your life?

“Before I really knew what the term manifesting was, I’ve just always believed in being really intentional about your dreams, what you want to align with, and just working towards it. Obviously, that takes work but it also takes actively calling to you and for you. Since I was a little kid, I’ve always wanted to be a country singer. I’ve always wanted to be a CoverGirl. I’ve always wanted to drive a Jeep. I’ve always wanted to have a dog. Things like that I’ve always just put out there and worked towards.”

You only used CoverGirl products at the 2023 Grammy Awards. Why is it important for you to show young fans that great makeup products can be accessible and affordable?

“I like being able to show that CoverGirl makeup can go from being out and about, having a day of running errands, to being onstage. It can live throughout any part of your life.”

What was it like working with the legendary Dolly Parton?

“We rehearsed in Nashville before we went to Vegas for the show, and it was 9AM on the dot — she walked in wearing full Dolly Parton glam, band ready, greeted everyone by name and led the charge for that rehearsal. [It was amazing] watching the amount of respect she commanded from her team and how comfortable she was. She was Dolly from the second she walked in the door. She’s someone who could be late and could be whatever she wanted to be, but still is just everything you’d want her to be. Lovely, kind, smart, thoughtful, mindful.”

Speaking of early mornings: are you a morning or nighttime routine person?

“I am a gremlin in the mornings! Like genuinely until I have coffee and wash my face, I don’t classify myself as a person. It’s coffee first and then a very cold face wash. That will slowly help me come to life. So I don’t think I really enjoy [the routine] until it’s post-show, end of the day, taking off the glitter, foundation, and everything then really taking care of my skin. So the next day when I put it back on, I don’t have to cover anything up. It’s just time to play.”

Tropical floral tips

Give your springtime floral nails a seasonal makeover with this vacay-ready manicure. Summery shades of lime green, fiery tangerine, hot pink and Caribbean blue serve as the perfect base for colourfully contrasting floral details that pop. To add a bit of depth and dimension, try switching up the size and placement of your flower designs on each nail for a more abstract and unique-to-you look.

To nail this look, shop OPI’s “Me, Myself, and OPI,” collection. Shade’s like orange “Silicon Valley Girl,” and blue “NFTease Me,” will give you that summery burst of colour. Plus, its fast-drying formula makes last-minute mani’s a breeze.

Buy it here: OPI Lacquer Silicon Valley, $13

If you’re not quite ready to tackle drawing your own floral nail designs, then you need this set in your life! Makartt’s nail art foil sticker is equipped with all the floral add-ons you could ever need, and more. For best results, cure the foil transfer beneath a UV lamp (which you can also pick up from Makartt!).

It’s mermaidcore season, folks! That means it’s time to unleash your inner mermaid with these oyster shell-inspired nails. Elevate a standard blue manicure by introducing a layer of opalescent polish on top of a translucent jelly shade of aqua to create this velvety, aquatic-looking finish. We’re sure this look would get The Little Mermaid star Halle Bailey’s approval.

Want to get the jelly look without the gel? First, grab a blue polish like this one by L.A Colours. Then, mix a little polish together with a clear base coat to create that sheer finish. No gel needed!

Buy it here: L.A. Colours Craze Sea Siren Polish, $9 

To add that oceanic shimmer, top off your “jelly” shade with this pearlescent polish. This sheer shade makes the perfect final coat overtop any colour of your choice. What’s more, it’s chip free — so you can rest assured knowing your manicure will withstand any summer activity.

If you’ve been looking for a sign to hop on the aura nail trend, here it is! This rainbow-hued set is sure to radiate good vibes and positive energy, so you can feel confident that this summer will be a good one. Using a blush pink polish as the base, layer droplets of your favourite summertime shades to create the “aura” effect. To take the look one step further, incorporate colourful, miniature beads to add a three-dimensional element to your manicure.

Nail art brand Saviland offers up a collection of nail brushes that can be used for all sorts of designs. To recreate the aura trend, dip into your desired shade with the dotting tool included in the set. Then, add the droplet overtop your pink base shade.

Colour block French claws

For this mani, bring back two classic trends: French manicures and good ol’ colour blocking. If you can never decide on a single shade of polish, why settle for one when you can have them all? Pro tip: Draw inspiration from your summertime wardrobe palette; that way your manis will always match your look!

Loving this set’s matte finish? Give Sally Hansen’s Big Matte Top Coat a try. Sure you can shop a single matte-coloured polish, but this way you can mattify any colour you’d like — which makes achieving a uniform finish on a multicoloured look like this much easier.

Buy it here: Sally Hansen Big Matte Top Coat, $11

Achieve perfect French tips *every* time with a nail stamp. You’ve probably seen this tool on TikTok before, and we’re here to tell you it’s worth the hype. Simply add a swipe of polish onto the stamp, press the tip of your nail into it, and there you have it!

A summer sun set

Still loving spring pastels? Try mimicking a summer sunset with this ombré manicure. Instead of having your ombré pattern run top to bottom on each individual nail, opt for soft yellows, pinks, purples and blues to help create a sunrise-to-sunset (or vice versa) effect across all five nails on each hand. As the summer months roll on, feel free to swap your pastels out for bold neons for a tequila sunrise-inspired heatwave manicure.

For your sun set mani, opt for pastel polishes like this one by Essie. This butter-yellow shade serves as the perfect starting point for the gradient look! And with a name like “Sunny Business,” you’ll be right on track with summer nail trends.

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.

RELATED: Did Sofia Richie Grainge Just Bring Back the Side Part?

During our call, the grooming guru and fan favourite from Netflix’s Queer Eye illuminates my screen with their megawatt smile, abundance of curls, a pop of green eyeshadow, and a bubbly nature that radiates all the way from across the pond — and my laptop screen. Since FASHION last spoke with Van Ness, they’ve embarked on a new leg of his comedy tour, Queer Eye has returned for its seventh season, and JVN Hair has launched a Pride haircare set in collaboration with GLSEN. (Van Ness is non-binary and uses the pronouns “they,” “he,” and “she” interchangeably. We’re using “they” in this article.)

Needless to say, there was a lot to catch up on. Ahead, Van Ness spills it all.

On finding self-confidence through hair and hairstyling

“I’ve been behind the chair since I was 18. I’ve seen the transformation in clients when they make a change. I see that in the most reason season of Queer Eye, too. It’s like, wanting to change your hair in some way, asking for help, having the courage to try something new, saving your money to do it—there’s a lot of risk. I think when we take risks and it works out for us, that is a confidence-building exercise.”

On the genderless approach to creating JVN products

“I always felt really ostracized from beauty growing up because I was assigned male at birth and so I always had the idea that beauty, or expressing your beauty, was more of a female thing and not really for males. Also when it comes to my girlfriends, queer friends, non-binary friends, whether they’re really into beauty or not into it at all, they’re shamed either way. It’s like either you’re not femme enough or you’re too femme, or you’re too highly sexualized or not enough. There’s always this commentary on the way that you’re presenting yourself. I hate that. And I also hate the idea that men don’t feel comfortable enough to express their beauty or ask questions.”

A post shared by JVN Hair (@jvnhair)

“But when it comes to gender, men’s and women’s hair is pretty similar. Like, you put it under a microscope, you can’t tell if it’s a man’s hair or a woman’s hair. So I want people to not be afraid to express themselves and have the tools to achieve whatever look they want. That’s why I try to take gender out of haircare, because it’s already too much a part of everything else. I think that hair is for everyone.”

On balancing being a brand founder and not needing products to feel beautiful

“If you ever look at my Instagram stories you’ll see how I don’t mind being on camera with my hair not done, no makeup on. I feel really beautiful whether I’m fully camera-ready or not. I know that my beauty and my worth isn’t dependent upon how I look on the outside. That’s what I mean when I say, ‘You’re already beautiful and you’re already worth celebrating,’ whether or not you’re choosing to style your hair.”

A post shared by Jonathan Van Ness (@jvn)

“So if you are going to style your hair I want you to do it because you want to do it and because this is how you choose to express yourself. I think that’s where JVN hair comes in. I want to give you tools for you to express yourself.”

On what makes JVN Hair stand out

“I felt like there was an opportunity for me to make stuff that was inclusive of all hair types, works really well, and wasn’t like $500 by the time you got all the products you needed. And I know there are other products that are not as expensive as mine, but they don’t work as well. We really are proud of the price point that we were able to create and the variety of looks that you can achieve.”

“I do hope that transparency and positivity and inclusivity has helped the brand stand out, of course, but because I am kind of a snobby hairdresser in my heart, I hope it’s also because our formulas work really well. The way that we do everything is really about achieving your hair goal versus what your hair type is because, truthfully, so many things work on many hair types. I just want people to achieve their hair goals.”

On their current psoriasis scalp struggles

“I have a lot of dry flakes coming from my scalp which actually makes me feel insecure. It also is the itchiest on my scalp when I get psoriasis. My Pre Wash Scalp Oil really helps hydrate, gets the flakes out, and allows me to rub something soothing onto my head.”

“Just because I’ve been more confident and understand how to style my hair better doesn’t mean that there are not times where I still don’t feel 100% about my hair.”

On embracing wearing their hair down

“All the men in my family lost their hair at some point between the ages of 18 and 30. I don’t know how much longer I’m going to have my hair, so as long as I have my hairline, and as long as this Propecia is working — Imma have this hair long!”

On how beauty helped them explore their sexuality

“I remember dating guys and hiding my heels in a closet. Like I had all my heels, my wigs, and all my hair stuff in a hidden part of the closet because I didn’t want someone who I was dating to see that I always loved to wear heels and I liked to style my hair and I had all these mannequins because I wanted to style their hair. Beauty really helped me ultimately realize that it was more important to be true to myself than to have the validation of potential people who I was attracted to. I think it also helped me realize that anyone who’s going to love me or want to be with me should do it because they’re into the fullness of who I am — not this one shell of who I think you want me to be.”

On the importance of role models and getting into politics

“I think possibility models are really important for us, to see people like us and recognize aspects of ourselves and other people that are older than us. It gives you a possibility model of something that you could achieve. I had Rudy Galindo when I was little. He was the 1996 US men’s figure skating champion, he won nationals, and he was openly gay and openly HIV-positive. He was fearless, open, expressive and incredible. I loved him. I still love him now.”

“At the same time, I wish that we held our politicians to the same standard that we hold our public figures to. As soon as I get my bag together, I’m going to run for office, honey. I really am.”

On the idea of hair holding memories

“That is totally accurate. I know for me, if I’m going through something or I go through a loss or significant trauma, I remember everything that was going on at that time. I remember how I would style my hair and what I was doing clothing-wise. Everything reminds you of those sorts of eras and everything can become a reminder. So I think hair can totally hold onto memories and having a physical change to your look totally resets your relationship with the world. You feel different, and your hair hits you different. When you change the physical sensations that you have, I just feel like it shakes things up. Sometimes it’s more exciting to feel those differences than it is to sit with your grief, pain or whatever.”

RELATED: What’s With All the Recent Shake-Ups in the Fashion Industry?

You see, colour can become synonymous with a brand and establish a visual shorthand that is perhaps even more powerful than a logo. Observe: A bright orange is not simply orange; rather, it’s Hermès orange. A shocking pink is now Pink PP courtesy of Valentino, which elevated an ordinary shade to a trademark hue. With countless colour contributions from the industry trickling into the mainstream, it no longer takes a design aficionado to identify Tiffany Blue or Bottega green. Here, we delve into the cultural significance and fated origins of some of fashion’s favourite colours.

Hermès Orange

Nothing says orange like a citrus-hued Hermès box, but the iconic boîte wasn’t always this colour. In 1942, during the Second World War, a shortage of cream-coloured cardboard boxes meant that the French fashion house had to use whatever the supplier could provide for packaging. As it turned out, the boxes were orange. Although their size, their shape and even their shade have varied over the years — from a subdued rust orange circa 1945 to a vibrant tangerine reflective of the ’60s — the use of an orange hue has been consistent.

Valentino Pink PP

Pink is having a major fashion moment — and Valentino’s high-octane Pink PP is leading the pack. You’ll find this shade at the intersection of fuchsia and magenta, but it’s got its own fierce electricity. At Valentino’s Fall 2022 Ready-to-Wear show, 48 single-hued hot-pink ensembles were presented. The collection’s stream of monochromatic looks no doubt contributed to the rise of the Barbiecore trend, with celebrities from Zendaya to Florence Pugh following suit in head-to-toe pink Valentino attire.

This playful shade, made in collaboration with the Pantone Color Institute, was named “Pink PP” after the initials of Valentino’s current creative director, Pierpaolo Piccioli. “Pink PP is the result of research and a necessity; I just needed to put all my hopes and dreams and basically everything that makes me feel good into a colour,” Piccioli told British Vogue.

Off-White’s Industrial Yellow

After the late Virgil Abloh sent a construction-yellow “industrial belt” down the runway at the Off-White Fall 2016 menswear show, it swiftly became a street-style staple. The inspiration for this buzzy belt and its colour is clear from its name — visions of caution tape and construction-site signage come to mind. Off-White is also known for its love of workwear, and this distinctive cautionary-yellow shade has lent itself to a multitude of other creations throughout the years, including logos, clothing and footwear.

Bottega Green

One of former creative director Daniel Lee’s greatest contributions to Bottega Veneta (and fashion!) — alongside the coveted Pouch bag and Puddle boots — is Bottega green. For the Italian house’s Spring 2021 Ready-to-Wear show, the set was immersed in both emerald lighting and looks, and thus commenced the reign of the now celebrated colour — although it seems that Lee’s Bottega green itself may be a revival of a longtime favourite of the fashion house. A strikingly similar shade appears in the form of some folded fabric in the 1985 short film Bottega Veneta Industrial Videotape, directed by Andy Warhol — as well as on the exterior of the Bottega Veneta flagship store in Vienna, captured in Polaroid images 10 years later. Coincidence? I think not.

Tiffany Blue

The precise origin of Tiffany Blue — “a color so famous, it’s trademarked” — and why company founder Charles Lewis Tiffany decided to use it aren’t known for certain, but the historical significance of the colour turquoise in the 19th century might have been a contributing factor. (Tiffany & Co. was created in 1837.)

“Turquoise was a favourite of Victorian brides who gave their attendants a dove-shaped brooch of turquoise as a wedding day memento, which increased the color’s popularity,” offers the luxury jewellery retailer. Beyond using the shade for its boxes, Tiffany & Co. recently collaborated with Fendi for the 25th anniversary of its Baguette bag, made famous on Sex and the City by lead character Carrie Bradshaw. A Tiffany Blue Baguette, modelled on the arm of Bella Hadid, debuted on the catwalk during Fendi’s Resort 2023 show at New York Fashion Week.

Louboutin Red

A sexy stiletto with a rich rouge sole is instantly identifiable as the work of Christian Louboutin. It’s been reported that in 1993, after one year of business, Louboutin sought to create a shoe inspired by Warhol’s 1964 Flowers print series. It’s said he believed that the initial prototype (a pink stacked heel with a black sole) lacked the true pop-art essence of a Warhol piece, but an assistant painting her nails red nearby inspired the designer to paint the sole with her polish to make it pop.

Thus, the famed red bottom was born, and so it has remained — but it’s not without its imitators. Louboutin continues to fight legal battles the world over in an effort to protect its trademark sole, most recently securing a victory in a Beijing court over a competitor.
