Weg mit Lippenstift – Ich trage nur noch TikToks „Cherry-Cola“-Lippen

Ich versuche, meine Kosmetikprodukte aufzubrauchen, bevor ich mich nach neuen umsehe. Deshalb habe ich zum Morphe x Ashley Strong Lip Pencil in Gilded Spirit (14,99 € via Douglas) gegriffen, um diesen Look zu kreieren. Mit einem MAC Cosmetics Lip Pencil (17,79 € via Douglas) kannst du allerdings nichts falsch machen, denn die Farbpalette ist umfangreicher als bei anderen Marken. Eine Sache, die du beachten solltest, ist, dass deine Lippen ziemlich trocken werden, wenn du den Lipliner überall aufträgst. Bevor ich einen Lippenstift oder sogar einen Lippenstift auftrage, schmiere ich meine Lippen mit The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + PhytoCeramides (23,95 € via Sephora) ein. Das ist eine hervorragende Feuchtigkeitscreme, die ich fast jeden Tag für mein Gesicht benutze, aber ich habe auch festgestellt, dass sie ein noch besserer Lip Primer ist. read more

Why Gal-Dem’s Closure Feels “Too Close To Home” For Black Creatives

“I think [gal-dem’s closure] is sad. I think representation isn’t just seeing yourself in spaces — which if people haven’t noticed, is the new lazy tactic for diversity. ‘Look [here’s] a brown person —so we’ve done the thing now!’ Erm no, Mandy, Karen, Paul and Kent, we haven’t,” said Kevin Morosky, founder and chief creative officer of  POCC, a creative studio powered by Black and brown creatives. “Taking up space and being able to move the industry is part of the conversation and that’s what gal-dem was doing.” read more

I Stopped Wearing Foundation When I Found This Moisturiser

Though I can’t speak highly enough of my find, I know that £34 for 50ml can be pricy. If you’re on a budget, there are some good alternatives. Thank You Farmer Shimmer Sun Essence SPF30 is a little cheaper at £24 and the delicate pigment has a similar blurring effect to that of Glowscreen. Very moisturising, it’s great for skin on the drier side. You might also like to try Avène Very High Protection Cleanance Tinted SPF50+ Sun Cream, £17.50, which is great for darker skin and those who get breakouts regularly. If you feel like a splurge, also pick up Dr Sam’s Flawless Gossamer Untinted SPF 50, £35, which boasts a similar luminosity to Glowscreen without the barely there colour. Lastly, consultant dermatologist Dr Anjali Mahto can’t get enough of NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturiser SPF30 PA+++, £37, which is available in a number of different shades. The takeaway? Sunscreen is a must all year round. read more
