Gomez chose to release a line of bodycare as an opportunity to showcase how important self-care is. “When you’re taking care of your body, mind, and soul, it’s all one,” Gomez said. “When you do take time to enjoy yourself and to find your little pockets and moments of peace, that’s something you should always be proud of.”
Find Comfort features four brand-new products: a body lotion, an aromatherapy pen, a fragrance mist, and a hand cream. Each product is packaged in purposefully made mauve vessels. (For instance, the hand cream container also doubles as a hand massager for pressure points.) “I find that this color was comforting to me personally,” Gomez said. “I wanted to do a reflection of Rare Beauty but give it its own original story.” Keep reading for a breakdown of each product.
If there’s one thing we know about Jennifer Garner, it’s that she’s mastered the art of looking incredible in no time at all—six minutes, if we’re being exact. In Vogue’s most recent Beauty Secrets video, Garner shared exactly how she does her entire, encompassing beauty routine in the least amount of time possible.
In just six minutes, Garner is able to do skincare, a full face of makeup, and even haircare and perfume. Her routine is simple—she opts for a stick foundation, cream face products that can be multi-taskers, and high-quality products that will last all day.
One product we couldn’t help but notice Garner reach for is the Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Bronzing Cream. This bronzer has long been a makeup artist favorite for its ability to add a natural-looking glow and a touch of warmth.
Garner says that during the pandemic, she had to do her own makeup for press, and that’s how she learned how to do her own makeup. “For example, I now know the importance of a bronzer,” she says. She starts by adding bronzer to her neck, then sweeping it on her cheeks and onto her eyelids. “Look who’s coming to life,” she says after she uses it.
If there’s one thing we know about Jennifer Lopez, it’s that she always serves major nail inspo. Last night, she showed up to the Elle Women in Hollywood event with what’s sure to be the season’s most copied manicure. Lopez wore a silver breastplate, a black skirt, and completed the whole ensemble with glitzy, squoval-shaped nails.
“We both agreed that a longer length was the way to go when receiving The Icon Award, so we went with a medium to long, tapered square-shaped look,” says celebrity nail artist Tom Bachik. “We wanted to complement Jen’s black and chrome dress by Grace Ling with a modern take on the classic nude. We chose CND’s Frostbite for the perfect champagne nude with an emerald iridescent shimmer for her hands, and CND’s Poison Plum, a deep, rich sparkly plum shade for her pedicure.”
The best part of JLo’s holiday party-ready manicure is that it couldn’t be easier to recreate at home. Keep reading for the exact nail products that Bachik used on Lopez. Bachik used the in-salon gel versions of each product, but they’re all available in normal polish for those hoping to recreate at home.
Though it’s only in its third year, the annual Academy Museum Gala has proved to be an event with major star power. Case in point? Last night’s attendees. The gala, which is held to raise money for the Academy Museum’s exhibitions, education initiatives, and public programming, featured longtime A-listers like Meryl Streep, Leonardo DiCaprio, and more.
Since the gala’s creative vision is helmed by Vogue‘s Lisa Love, it’s no surprise that fashion also plays a big part in the night. Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner made a splash on the red carpet together. Jenner wore a tight, sheer red gown by Fendi, while Bieber wore a sequined, holiday-ready black gown by Saint Laurent.
Jenner’s complemented the showstopping dress with loose, brushed-out curls and polished, monochromatic makeup. The result was totally timeless, and the good news is that every single product her makeup artist Mary Phillips used can easily be found at any drugstore. In fact, the most expensive product on Jenner’s face is $16, and nearly every single product used is currently on sale at Amazon. That’s because Phillips used exclusively L’Oréal Paris products, and we have the full breakdown below.
Keep reading for every makeup product used on Jenner, including the gel eyeliner Phillips repurposed for the most realistic-looking faux freckles.
The celebrity makeup artist and glam expert — who has worked with everyone from Gigi Hadid and Shay Mitchell to Camila Cabello and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and has his own cosmetics company — exclusively opened up to Us Weekly about his “unexpected” skincare secret: juicing.
Ta discovered the beauty benefits of juicing through his recent partnership with Pressed Juicery, which helped get him through New York Fashion Week earlier this year. “My favorite Pressed Juice is the Pressed Juicery 7-Day Simple Cleanse,” he told Us. “I love this because when I have a long week of being on set or at the office, I am not able to eat as healthy as I would like to. Starting my day with a bottle of Simple Cleanse allows my body to reset first thing in the morning.”
He continued, “Juicing is a great for clear skin because when you are putting goodness in your body, you really are renewing your skin from inside out. Simple Cleanse has 25 percent of your daily vitamin C in one bottle. What you put in your body is absolutely reflected in your skin.”
In addition to juicing, Ta dished on his favorite tips, trends and hacks.

What are your thoughts on TikTok giving every beauty trend a name?
“I absolutely love TikTok giving beauty trends a name because it encourages people to try new makeup products and techniques that they wouldn’t otherwise. People can then see what products/techniques work for their face, and which ones do not.”

What is your favorite makeup trend this year?
“My favorite makeup trend this year is the Strawberry Girl trend! I just launched a new Patrick Ta Beauty blush in the shade ‘She’s Wanted’ that gives you a beautiful berry effect. It looks like you’ve just come back from vacation with a natural all-over flush.”
What makeup on a client has been your favorite this year and why?
“My favorite makeup on a client this year was on Gigi Hadid for the NMACC Gala in Mumbai in April. I loved this look because I feel like it reflected the makeup that I love doing which is very bronzy. It also allowed me to travel and experience a new culture.”

What is your favorite makeup look to do?
“Skin and overall complexion are my favorite things to focus on when doing makeup. My preference really is doing a look where I focus on the skin and then do either a bold lip or bold eye.”
What would you say is the proper way to apply makeup? Foundation first?
“It really depends on the look. If I am doing a bold and smokey eye, I start with the eye and then do foundation. If I am doing more of a soft and natural eye, then I would start with the foundation.”
How has your own makeup technique evolved through the years?
“My makeup technique has evolved tremendously over the years. My career began at the MAC counter doing really heavy makeup and then I moved to Hollywood where I was working with models and actresses — then my technique became more natural. I then started working with more musicians/singers, which led back to bolder looks. Currently, I think my technique is now in the perfect in-between which is more everyday, red carpet makeup.”

For people who aren’t very familiar with doing their own makeup, what is the best way to start?
“The best way to start is to find earth tones colors that look best on you and accentuate your natural beauty. Just start from there.”

How often should we switch out our foundation, eyeshadows, beauty brushes?
“I think a Beauty Blender or beauty blender-like sponge is the most important makeup tool to swap out if you can’t clean it, or if it has rips or tears. I think that brushes can have a longer lifetime depending on how well you take care of them.”
Dr. Terry Dubrow and Dr. Paul Nassifgave Us Weekly the lowdown on TikTok beauty trends — sharing which ones are worth it and which to stay away from.
First up, Dubrow, 65, praised skin slugging, which is a way to lock in moisture by applying Vaseline or a thick layer of lotion to the skin before going to bed. “Skin slugging is extraordinarily effective,” Dubrow, 65, exclusively told Us. “It keeps all the moisture in your skin … allowing that to soak in and not be leached out on your sheets and your pillowcases.”
Although Dubrow recommended using a moisturizer instead of petroleum jelly, he asserted that the hack is “a good, good thing.” He continued, “You do it one time, you wake up in the morning, your skin’s gonna look better than it’s ever been.”
Next, the experts addressed one of the latest fads in Hollywood: buccal fat removal — a procedure that hollows out the cheeks for a slimmer appearance. Although the surgery may create a snatched look, Dubrow and Nassif, 61, are “not a fan” of it.
Let’s talk beauty! It’s a new year and that means it’s time to refresh your vanities. Give your skin, hair and body some extra love in 2023 by boosting your rotation with the latest buzzed-about products the best brands have to offer. Practicing self-care, however, can be a daunting task thanks to the many makeup […]
Nassif explained to Us, that buccal fat removal “makes you look old as you get older.” He warned, “It might be sculpted for the first few years, but especially as you get older, it’s gonna look horrible. So we want to tell everyone, don’t do that — unless you have a very [round] face shape.”
Dubrow added, “Do not do buccal fat excision. You will pay for it later.”
When asked if it’s safe to try the social media trend of slimming your nose by pinching it with clamps, Nassif disapproved. He noted, “From the functional standpoint and for the blood flow supply issues, I’m not a big fan of that.” However, manipulating the “thick skin” around the tip of the nose to make it look “smaller or for some photos” could be “cool to try.”

Shaving peach fuzz and dead skin cells off your face, however, got the green light from Dubrow and Nassif. They noted it’s a “very effective” way to exfoliate the skin and it allows “your skincare to penetrate better.”
When it comes to creating temporary dimples by placing bottle caps inside of your cheeks and sucking, the doctors think “it’s a little weird.” Dubrow told Us. “It’s no different than doing it with a filter. Just as long as it doesn’t cause any scarring or internal damage.”
TikTok fashion and beauty trends — and their quirky monikers — have taken over our feeds. With so many aesthetics trending on a daily basis, understanding the viral concepts can be a bit confusing — but fret not as Us Weekly is here to break them all down. Thank You!

Lastly, Dubrow added that using lube as a makeup primer is perfectly OK.
“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that,” he told Us, joking, “I think lube moisturizes down there, as well as it does up here.” He quipped, “Lube it up baby! While you’re there, you never know. It might motivate and stimulate other activities.”
If there’s one thing Anne Hathaway has down, it’s being able to look effortlessly glamorous. No matter the occasion, we can always count on Hathaway to show up looking polished but not overly done up. Last week, Hathaway channeled this uncomplicated aesthetic at a special screening for her new movie, Eileen, at the Whitby in New York City.
To celebrate the release of the highly anticipated psychological thriller, Hathaway wore a ’70s-inspired brown sleeveless sweaterdress with fringe. To match, celebrity hairstylist Orlando Pita styled her hair in loose, undone curls. According to Pita, the inspiration behind Hathaway’s look was “70s undone glamour.”
Pita also shared the step-by-step breakdown of how he styled Hathaway’s hair for the event. Luckily, it couldn’t be easier to try at home. The products also happen to be on sale at Amazon for Black Friday with a coupon, so it’s the perfect time to try out Hathaway’s look using the exact products Pita used on her.
If you’re among the one billion people on TikTok, chances are you probably spend much longer than you care to admit scrolling through the app. From beauty tips like the lip-gloss eyeshadow hack to easy and affordable recipes, there’s plenty to discover. You’re also likely to have seen content creators talking about TikTok Shop. Not only is the social media app full of weird and wonderful viral crazes, but it’s also a place where you can buy your favorite mascara.
Although you might have seen it popping up on your FYP, you might be a little skeptical about buying via the same app that took you down a rabbit hole about reincarnation (just us?). Still, it’s worth getting clued up about what it is and how to use it, especially if you’re a beauty fan. While there’s lots available through TikTok Shop, from tech to parenting goodies, it’s the beauty realm that has really taken off. From independent TikTok-famous beauty brands generating buzz to big-name retailers launching exclusive products, it’s time to have TikTok Shop on your radar.
What Is TikTok Shop?
TikTok shop allows users to buy products through the social media app. The e-commerce business launched in the US in September 2023 after massive growth in other markets (it launched in the UK in 2021 and saw a 295 percent increase in usage over the last 12 months).
Retailers and content creators with over 1,000 followers can recommend products and brands on their short-form videos, allowing followers to click on the shopping basket icon while watching the video to purchase the products mentioned.
There’s also the opportunity to shop curated products via the Showcase tab of a content creator or seller, which allows users to browse a list of products that can be purchased with a simple click. Plus, creators can go live, allowing followers to buy mentioned products in real time. Think of it as the social media version of a shopping TV channel.
Why Should I Use TikTok Shop?
First and foremost, it’s easy. Perhaps a little too easy. We’ve all been victims of a late-night TikTok scroll leading to a niche foundation arriving on your doorstep before you know it. But in our ever-busier lives, it’s a seamless, fuss-free shopping experience. It’s particularly handy if you’ve been frantically searching for the best holiday gifts, only to stumble across the Dyson Airwrap on your FYP.
There’s also the opportunity to see products being used on a diverse range of content creators. Particularly for the beauty community, it’s helpful to see products used on different skin tones and hair types, for example, helping you to make more of an informed purchase. Of course, it’s worth bearing in mind that content creators will earn a small commission from your purchase and may be getting paid by the brand to promote its products, so keep a lookout for hashtags and follow creators who you trust.
Plus, there are more brands that are set to offer exclusive deals and products on TikTok Shop. Maybelline launched its Lifter Plump gloss exclusively on the app in November, for example, so it’s worth keeping an eye out for viral products that you’re able to purchase while scrolling.
What Brands Use TikTok Shop?
There’s huge amounts of beauty brands available via TikTok Shop, and there’s set to be more in 2024. According to Cosmetify, Huda Beauty is the most popular makeup brand on the app and The Ordinary is the most popular skin-care brand, with products available to buy through the shop. There’s Gen Z brands like E.L.F. Cosmetics, which recently tapped TikTok-famous singer-songwriter Caity Baser to front its campaign, as well as smaller start-ups like Mallows Beauty.
Is TikTok Shop Legit?
Like with anything online, it pays to do your research. Sellers are vetted by the TikTok app, and fraudulent ads are removed as soon as possible, but sadly that doesn’t stop scams from happening. Check reviews of content sellers and make comparisons elsewhere.
All products bought on TikTok Shop should be new. TikTok itself doesn’t sell products, it facilitates the sale, so any issues need to be taken up with the seller directly. In general, TikTok Shop is safe to use, but it’s worth being mindful of authentic offers and being wary of any too-good-to-be-true offers.

TikTok shop ultimately allows users to buy products through the social media app. It launched in the UK in 2021 and has grown by a huge 295 percent in the last 12 months (to November 2023), so it’s on the rise and going nowhere.

Even American royalty isn’t immune to the color of the season. On Oct. 25, Malia Obama was spotted sans her signature goddess braids and with a new look altogether: red hair. As reported by the Daily Mail, the former first daughter was seen leaving a movie theater with a friend in Los Angeles with her hair styled in loose waves and a gorgeous brown-tinted red color. This is the same shade she wore her braids in, so it’s safe to say that Obama is a big fan of the hue. Striped trousers, a grey tank top, and a cream jacket pulled the rest of the look together, making it look more like she was walking a runway just hanging with friends.
Red has been unofficially dubbed the color of the season and celebrities have been having a field day with it. Megan Fox recently revealed her take on the trend with a new bob haircut and there has been renewed interest in Taylor Swift’s signature red lipstick over the past few weeks as she’s been photographed field-side supporting her new boyfriend, Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs. The color’s resurgence makes sense for a lot of reasons. Cooler tones tend to be complemented by deeper shades, so during the winter months when everything gets, well colder – including the hues in our wardrobes and makeup – it’s fitting that we reach for the bold shade for a pop of color.
Obama’s new look is perfect for people looking for red hair inspiration this fall and winter. If you’re on the hunt for your own version, make sure to Daily Mailtake her picture to your colorist.
Sometimes, I feel like no matter what, it’s really difficult for a fragrance to be truly unique. At the end of the day, a rose is a rose is a rose, after all. There’s only so much you can do to reinvent the wheel when it comes to fragrance—at a certain point, all of the raw ingredients available to you are the same.
That’s why the new Future Society fragrances piqued my interest. In the world of fragrance, they’re truly unique scents, and that’s because the brand is reaching far outside a fragrance’s normal purview. Future Society scents are made using DNA sequences found from extinct flowers.
For founder Jasmina Aganovic, using these extinct DNA sequences is all about using fragrance and biology in tandem with one another to tell a story. “This idea of taking a DNA-sequencing Jurassic Park–type thing with flowers rather than dinosaurs is sort of the origin of this,” she says. “[We] work together with the Harvard Herbarium to gather specimens of flowers that have been preserved and are now known to be extinct.”
These flowers aren’t being resurrected and reintroduced into the world. (Technology isn’t that advanced yet.) Instead, they’re given new life through fragrance. “The DNA is sort of like an instruction manual,” says Aganovic. “It’s sort of like 23andMe. If you’ve ever done 23andMe, you spit into a tube and it sends you all of this interesting information about yourself.”
After gathering information about each flower, Aganovic honed in on anything that gave her clues to how it might have smelled. “That started to give us a direction of the olfactive profile and the scent molecules that were encoded into this flower,” she says. From there, they figured out which scents were likely actually expressed by the flower and wound up with six scents you won’t smell anywhere else—each is a unique reconstruction of an extinct flower.
“In order to give an honest review of a celebrity-owned product, it is important to put aside your admiration for the celebrity and focus on the product’s performance itself,” Bravo continues. “This can be difficult for some people to do, which can make it hard to understand if someone loves the product because it is good, or if they love it simply because it is coming from their ride-or-die celebrity.” She also considers the difference in resources between celeb-owned brands and small, independent ones. This alone can help determine the quality of the product as well as a marketing approach.
“You know a celebrity-owned brand is good when people are talking so much about how good a product is that folks who aren’t as familiar with the brand don’t even know it is celebrity-owned,” she explains. Taking that into consideration, it’s worth questioning the continued relevance of celeb brands in the beauty space. As consumer demands change to push for improved inclusivity and accessibility, ideally, a brand’s response should echo those efforts. If this is the case, then with increased reach comes heightened familiarity (even more so for celebrity beauty brands).
I took a look at some of the jaw-dropping numbers some of our favorite celeb-owned beauty brands have hit over the past year thanks to their massive TikTok presence. Cosmetify’s TikTok Beauty Index, by October 2023, revealed that Rare Beauty hit 3.5 million followers (with 50.3 million video likes and with 7.7 billion hashtag views), making it the second most popular TikTok beauty brand behind Huda Beauty. That being said, it holds the highest following and likes of any celeb-owned beauty brand on the platform. But as we head into 2024, I’m wondering if this generation’s most beloved beauty brands will continue to keep up with the fast-paced trend cycle of the industry.
“One of my mutuals Heather Hurst shared a great analogy about fashion trends that I believe applies to beauty as well. Basically, imagine every beauty trend is on a conveyor belt that circles round and round,” Bravo continues. “You do not have to grab everything off of the conveyor belt all at once.” In other words, if you’re not drawn to a product, its popularity alone shouldn’t be enough to inspire a purchase. In its simplest form, her biggest beauty advice when it comes to the industry’s trend cycle is as follows: enjoy what interests you and don’t feel pressure to invest in the rest because when it comes to trend cycles, everything comes back around… eventually.
There’s a school of thought that I simply can’t subscribe to: the idea that you should never wear red lipstick on a date. As a red-lipstick devotee, I will wear red lipstick for any situation, including and not limited to a date. I do see the predicament, however—red lipstick is a bold choice, and it may not be ideal to end up with it smeared all over your (or your date’s) face.
At least one person agrees with me—Taylor Swift. This weekend, Swift and rumored boyfriend Travis Kelce stepped out for date night in New York City. For their Saturday-night date, Swift went with her signature red lipstick. If you were one of the many people in various comment sections talking about how you could never wear red lipstick on a date, I get it.
If there’s one thing we know about Ashley Graham, it’s that she’s going to have a flawless tan. That definitely rang true for her time at Paris Fashion Week. Before jetting off to the City of Lights, Graham got a tan from St. Tropez skin-finishing expert and celebrity tanner Sophie Evans using St. Tropez products.
Not only did Graham get the most flawless tan to go to Paris Fashion Week, but she also managed to maintain it while she was there. If you’ve ever tried maintaining a spray tan, you’ll know that is quite impressive. Graham is leaving Paris just as bronzed as when she arrived, and it’s thanks to a few key products that she uses for maintenance.
Luckily, I got the breakdown of every product Graham used for her “just got back from Bali” glow, including the products Evans used on her and the products she uses to maintain her glow. Keep reading for the breakdown.
This fashion week, one of the biggest beauty trends we saw was undoubtedly ribbons. So many different designers, from Christian Siriano to Collina Strada, had their models wearing ribbons laced through their hair. The fashion set quickly followed suit. The latest person to jump on the trend is Hailey Bieber, who shared a ballet-inspired beauty look and a sweet pink hair ribbon to match on TikTok.
In case you haven’t heard, red is the color of the season. We’re seeing red everywhere, from the runways to the streets. People are adding pops of red into their wardrobes with bags, shoes, and other statement clothing pieces. In the beauty world, red nails and red lipstick are taking centerstage, and “cowboy copper” hair is all over TikTok. Vibrant red hasn’t woven its way into hair color yet—that is, until now.
There are very few people who can make fire engine red hair look impossibly chic. One of those people? Megan Fox. Fox stepped out today sporting a new shade of bright red hair. Her stylist and colorist Dimitris Giannetos is dubbing the shade “red velvet.” It’s a sharp departure from her usual dark strands, but Fox pulls it off flawlessly (as she would with any hair color).
Right now, there’s one phrase on the fashion crowds’ lips—“Prada Beauty.“ No beauty launch has caused this much commotion in the fashion space in recent memory. It makes sense, as no one knows quite how to marry classic and modern together quite like Miuccia Prada, the queen of understated elegance meets eccentric style.
Now, Prada is taking that same sensibility into the beauty space. Prada Beauty is just debuted with their “Rethinking Beauty” campaign. The collection aims to feel both highly personal and accessible, with skincare and makeup that tap into the best of both minimalism and maximalism. There’s Prada Skin and Prada Color, and each perfectly encapsulates the heart of the iconic brand.
While Prada Beauty formally launches in the United States in January 2024, it looks like we’ve lucked out—some of the products are already available on the site. If you want to be the first to try the new lipsticks and eye palettes, you can. The eyeshadow palettes draw from Prada’s archival prints, while the lipsticks are inspired by the iconic Saffiano leather, which reinvents the idea of what matte lipstick looks like as we know it.
If there’s anyone who has mastered the art of minimal, fashion-forward makeup, it’s Sarah Jessica Parker. Whether you look to her iconic role as Carrie on Sex and the City or her role reprisal on And Just Like That, Parker is undoubtedly a fashion girl through and through, letting her makeup be the supporting character to her risk-taking outfits.
Last night at the premiere for season two of And Just Like That, however, we couldn’t stop staring at SJP’s makeup. Parker sported gunmetal eyeshadow, dewy skin, rosy cheeks, and high-gloss lids. Carrie Bradshaw would definitely approve.
To achieve this look, makeup artist, Elaine Offers, used an arsenal of Merit products. Offers used a bevy of cult-favorites from the brand, including their Flush Balm and Tinted Lip oil. Keep reading for the full product breakdown.
The Airstrait works differently than any other straightener you’ve come across, as it doesn’t rely on hot plates to smooth hair. Instead, the tool relies on the powerful airflow that Dyson is known for to dry and straighten hair without any heat damage. In fact, the highest temperature you can set the Airstrait to is 285 degrees Fahrenheit, which is much lower than most hot tools.
“Having a strong understanding of how to manipulate and realize the potential of powerful airflow is fundamental to the performance of the Dyson Airstrait straightener,” James Dyson, Founder and Chief Engineer, shared in a press release. “This expertise, which we’ve gained over the last 25 years, is what has enabled us to deliver our first wet to dry straightener, with no hot plates, and no extreme heat damage. Delivering the ease-of-use that people love about straighteners but with high-velocity air blades, saves time, maintains hair strength and achieves an everyday natural straight style.”
The tool looks like your average straightener, but it has a few pretty cool functions. You can clamp it dry and use it as a hair dryer to rough-dry hair and dry the scalp area. From there, you can choose the “Wet,” “Dry,” or “Cool” settings to style your hair. On “Wet” mode, you can choose between 175°F, 230°F, and 285°F (the thicker and curlier the hair, the higher you’d likely want to go). On “Dry,” you can choose 250°F or 285°F or a “boost”. You can also control airflow, and the machine also automatically turns off once you’ve set it down.
I decided to test the Airstrait on myself to see just how easy it is to use. I have extremely thick, wavy hair that typically takes 20 to 30 minutes to dry—and if I add straightening into the mix, I’m looking at at least an hour in front of the mirror.
