I Tried Charlotte Tilbury’s Bestsellers & Here’s What’s Worth It
As I mentioned, I’m not really a foundation person (I prefer tinted moisturisers, which don’t cover my freckles and let my skin’s natural dewiness shine through). It takes a lot to win me over and the Airbrush Flawless Foundation is almost there. It has a matte finish but I’m glad to say it never makes me look or feel cakey. It’s very lightweight and hydrating, which is great for my dry skin, and it almost stands the test of time. Overall, it doesn’t budge much or transfer — I’ve worn this for a few months now, testing daily for sweaty commutes on London’s packed Tubes, out for dancing at concerts and for all-day, non-stop work events. So far, I haven’t found myself needing to touch up, apart from around the eyes where it can occasionally crease around my fine lines. I’ve needed a good quality, non-drying powder to try minimise this (I like the By Terry Hyaluronic Hydra-Powder, £20, and have also been loving Charlotte Tilbury’s own setting powder). For that extra dewy finish I prefer, I layer this over the Hollywood Flawless Filter for a more glowy look
Spiked Ballet Flats Are The Standout Shoe Of The Season, Thanks To Ganni
A staple of the brand’s Copenhagen Fashion Week show, the Ganni Buckle Ballet Flats, £295, became the centrepiece of the new collection, and they were paired with everything from metallic trousers to maxi dresses, checked co-ords and more. In fact, they proved so popular that the black shade is now almost all sold out, with white, red and snake styles slowly following suit. They’re even taking off on TikTok, with users showing off their styling of the new footwear find in videos such as this one, pairing them with wide-legs jeans and an oversized sweatshirt, and this one, completing the look with black trousers, a striped T-shirt and beige blazer.
Von Nachteule zu Morgenmensch – ich hab’s probiert
So früh aufzustehen bedeutet, dass ich mich durch die Arbeit quäle (Rechnungen schreiben, Transkribieren) und mich dann bei einem späteren Meeting und beim Zahnarzt um 15 Uhr entspannter fühle. Die Arbeit ist oft mit viel Panik verbunden – ich erhalte E-Mails von Redakteur:innen, die etwas für eine Reportage brauchen oder eine Bearbeitung zurückschicken, und das liegt oft an ihrem Zeitplan und nicht an meinem. Wenn ich früher aufstehe, kann ich das ausgleichen, indem ich mich bei ihnen melde, bevor sie an ihrem Schreibtisch sitzen. Es gibt mir ein Gefühl der Leichtigkeit, der Kontrolle und der Erleichterung, und es hat eine solche Wirkung, dass ich wirklich das Gefühl habe, ich möchte den Arbeitstag früher beginnen. Ich bin mit mir selbst und sogar mit meiner Arbeit zufriedener. Ich genieße es, Dinge von einer Liste abzuhaken, bevor die Hektik des Tages beginnt. Ich kann es gar nicht glauben, aber ich bin ernsthaft in diese Sache verwickelt.
I’m a Picky Beauty Editor, But These 4 New Products Impressed TF Out of Me
Maybe I’ve gotten pickier now that I’m a beauty editor, but it’s for a good reason. I used to be way less conscious about the skincare and makeup I was using on my face. Little did I know I was using pore-clogging products and questionable ingredients galore! Now that I’m a bit more educated, I’m a lot choosier about what I try, and it’s rare that I go berserk for a new brand or its launches. Polite Society, however, is the exception.
