Don’t you let anybody shame you about your makeup and/or appreciation of it: according to a study for CVS by psychologist Dr. Vivian Diller, having a beauty routine can save your life. (Gasp.) “Activities that allow us to take care of our personal beauty needs should not be viewed as ‘guilty pleasures,’” Diller explained. “These acts may […]

This autumn, we’ll have the option of dressing like boys again. If you do (and we’ve all been there), you’ll mention “tomboy” along the same names we’ve been bringing up since 2013. Names like Ruby Rose, Kendall Jenner, and anybody in high tops have religiously evoked the playful and androgynous spirit reserved for “relaxed” and/or […]

As a beauty writer, I get so many products that are labelled “anti-aging” and I am tired of it. I don’t know who made the decision to use it as a blanket term, but somehow that’s the only term ever used anymore. I imagine because it’s effective. Many women have become so frightened by society’s abhorrence of […]

The following is a stream of consciousness report of writer Kara Crabb’s first dabble with face waxing. Terror, humour and beauty transformations ensue. Do I even need to do this? Is it a statement if I don’t? Maybe I genuinely enjoy removing patches of hair off my body. Maybe I’m not so much conforming to […]

A photo posted by Mario Dedivanovic 👐 (@makeupbymario) on Jun 22, 2015 at 11:56am PDT A couple weeks ago, makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic posted a photo of a child decked out in makeup on Instagram, and people weren’t happy. “My future daughter #SoCute,” he captioned, inspiring a choir of commenters to remind him that children […]

If you’re at Cannes (congratulations), and you’re wearing flats (good choice), you will allegedly be turned away from the red carpet. The news materialized via Screen Daily, who reported that multiple women were turned away from the “Carol” red carpet for wearing inappropriate footwear, including women in their 50s and women with disabilities, who were […]

This year’s Met Gala theme was pretty straightforward: clothing optional. And while I’m lying to you (because the actual theme was China: Through the Looking Glass), several attendees still opted to forego traditional fabric and bask in the warm glow of cameras capturing their sheer and/or barely-there pieces. And to that I say: congratulations. (Because […]

A photo posted by Kylizzle (@kyliejenner) on Dec 16, 2014 at 1:06pm PST It’s come to this: in the wake of teens trying to blow up their lips to emulate Kylie Jenner, the 17-year-old has had to step in and ask that they stop. “I’m not here to try & encourage people/young girls to look like me […]

Joan's cheerleader A photo posted by Miley Cyrus (@mileycyrus) on Apr 18, 2015 at 10:53am PDT I’ve always had a pretty lax beauty routine, which is something I’ve always just assumed made me invariably cool. You know, kind of like a Prada girl who’s always “stepping out of the shower, putting on a really expensive […]

It might be the end of an E! network era. Thanks to a legacy of body shaming, the recent racism scandal, and what seems like the unwillingness to adapt to evolving social and comedic norms, E!’s Fashion Police looks like it’s about to commentate on that big red carpet in the sky. And that isn’t a bad thing. […]

Fashion Week has brought us endless street style photos with endless arrays of bold choices and colours, but despite what we’re seeing, Marc Jacobs thinks street style is on its way out. “What I see in the street now, doesn’t interest me,” the designer told reports in London last week. “I am so tired of […]

It’s a dark time for us mall-lovers. And no, I don’t mean those of you who “go to the mall” or “meet in front of it.” (How dare you!) I mean those of us whose entire youths are folded, like a gorgeous pair of American Eagle jeans, into mall culture. Those of us who spent […]
