Barbie may have dominated 2023, but for fall 2024, Marc Jacobs is thinking about another kind of doll entirely. “We talked about paper dolls,” makeup artist Diane Kendal tells ELLE.com of her chats with the designer ahead of his runway show at the Park Avenue Armory tonight, which celebrated 40 years of his eponymous brand.

At the Magic Wand Barbershop in Baltimore, Maryland, there are only two rules: “Don’t touch the blinds, and don’t tell any lies,” says co-owner and barber Kevin Cooper. No one knows these rules better than my father. For decades, barbershops and salons have been safe havens in the Black community. The ritualistic journey, whether weekly

Jessie Inchauspé wants you to know that her recent book, The Glucose Goddess, isn’t about dieting. Nor is it about losing weight. “It’s about your mental health,” she says at the beginning of our call. I’m not convinced. For the unfamiliar, Inchauspé is known to her millions of followers as the Glucose Goddess. On Instagram,

Keeping up with all the beauty trends that flood the runways and social media can feel like a Sisyphean task—the world of beauty often moves at breakneck speed. However, the ELLE.com beauty team’s eagle eyes spotted a couple of beauty trends that you can expect to see throughout the rest of 2024. The hair, makeup,

Hair is a deeply personal experience. It’s a part of your identity and how you present yourself to the world, and the slightest change can either make you feel euphoric or send you spiraling (who hasn’t cried because of a bad haircut or coloring job?). Entrusting a stylist to deliver your desired results is a

Welcome to ELLE’s best spas of 2024. This is our inaugural guide to the best spas in the world, with each spa destination carefully selected, tested, and awarded by an ELLE editor.

It was an early August evening, and I was on the ferry to Montauk, away from the pounding humidity of New York City and toward the beach house of a man I’d just started seeing. I should have been savoring the anticipation of a romantic weekend away. Instead, I was crouching over a plug socket,

Growing up, I have very clear memories of my mother dabbing Agua de Colonia behind each of my ears. At the ripe age of five, I felt like the fanciest girl in kindergarten and looked forward to my mother scenting me every morning before boarding the school bus. As a Mexican child, wearing perfume aligned

Exosomes—the latest buzzword throughout the industry—with promises of combatting hair loss and improving the health of your skin. But what are they and more importantly, why is everyone talking about them? “Think of exosomes as little tiny, ‘prime’ packages coming to save the day. Each cell (mostly) in the human body secretes these packages filled

John Galliano’s Maison Margiela’s Spring/Summer 2024 Couture show stunned the world on Thursday night—and it was in no small part due to the makeup magic created by Pat McGrath herself. The models resembled perfect porcelain dolls with impossibly glowy skin, stunning eyeshadow, penciled-in brows, and bold lips, echoing the ‘20s look McGrath last crafted for

Today is the official launch of SKNN by Kim Makeup—a rebrand from KKW Beauty. And while one might think it was to drop the “W,” illustrating her shift from wife to an independent divorcee, for Kardashian, the change was more about leaning into what she likes, which is neutrals. “I would try new things for

For so long, vitamin C has been the most commonly used antioxidant for brightening, evening skin tone, and improving skin texture. As the celebrity of the skin care alphabet—vitamin A, otherwise known as retinol, is another—vitamin C serums show up in just about every skin care brand’s lineup, its letters typically plastered all over bright

It started with a text in my group chat (doesn’t it always?). “Wow, [acquaintance name redacted] looks pretty great nowadays. What do you think she got done?” someone wrote. A flurry of enthusiastic emojis came in reply, because speculating about beauty procedures in private is thrilling. This acquaintance looked lifted, but not stretched. Her cheeks

Mora Adeyi, a psychotherapist and adjunct professor at Columbia, said her face has changed a lot over the last three years. The 35-year-old told ELLE.com that when she looks at pictures of herself before 2020 and compares them to the woman she sees in the mirror today, she can’t help but notice the wear and

In the documentary Pamela, a Love Story, which debuted on Netflix nearly a year ago, Pamela Anderson appeared on camera sans her signature smokey eye, penciled-in brows, bronzed skin, and lined lips that every woman coveted in the 90s. Her stripped-down, fresh face went on to appear on multiple ad campaigns— including for The Laundress

Kylie Jenner gave everyone a taste of 2010s nostalgia with a new Instagram post on Tuesday, January 16. The multi-hyphenate entrepreneur appeared in cotton candy pink blush, a pinkish nude lip, and bubblegum pink hair to pull it all together, inspiring commenters to ask: is King Kylie back? For the uninitiated, King Kylie refers to

Dark spots are the bane of my existence. Despite working as a beauty editor for the last decade, with access to every snazzy new product that promises to even out skin tone, I still woke up in my early 30s with a complexion riddled with melasma. I’m also not the only one. A 2017 study

Hailey Bieber is the internet’s favorite muse. One decision is all it takes for her to inspire a new niche trend on TikTok. She coated her nails in a glossy, chrome finish and became the poster child for dewy, supple skin, adding “glazed donut nails” and “glazed donut skin” to the beauty lexicon; she barely

Kim Kardashian has proven to be a formidable entrepreneurial force in several industries, and beauty is no exception. In 2017, she managed to use the popularity of her signature contoured makeup look to launch KKW Beauty with its first product: the Crème Contour and Highlight Kit. The contour duo sold out immediately. And KKW Fragrance’s

Actress Jessica Chastain arrived on the red carpet at the 2023 Emmys in a neon green Gucci gown. However, throughout her attention-grabbing look, she hid a really big (and exciting) beauty easter egg, creating one of the night’s best Emmy Awards beauty looks . Celebrity makeup artist Kristofer Buckle utilized unreleased (and yet to be

Of all the common icebreaker games out there, perhaps the most dreadful is the hypothetical desert island game, and for me, this very question: What beauty products would you take if you were stranded on an island? It’s not that I don’t have an answer—I have quite a few, actually. For now, let’s put skin

“Ugly is attractive, ugly is exciting,” said designer Miuccia Prada in a 2013 interview. Famously known for wearing no makeup and starting every morning with a glass of hot water, and despite this (or perhaps because of it), Prada is one of the creatives behind an exciting new makeup and skin care line that launched
