MAC's Jeremy Scott Collection Is Better Than Your Ex's Mixed CDs

Sending someone a Spotify playlist today is the equivalent of your crush handing you a mixed CD he made especially for you. But if you miss your beloved boombox and little discs with permanent marker sketched on the top, signifying that this lineup of songs will speak to your soul, you probably should invest in MAC's brand new collaboration with Jeremy Scott.

The designer is frequently fueled by pop culture—the hints of McDonalds and Barbie and Ken in his Moschino collections are overwhelmingly clear—and this project was no different. For his collection with the beauty brand, he tapped into the ultra-creative, inspiring, and nostalgia-inducing days of mixtapes and new music in the bright, electric colors he's known for. Remember, this is the designer that sent models down the runway wearing paint-splattered wigs.

The collection includes three different installments in packaging that'll you never discard, even far after the product has been wiped clean of the tin. It makes its official debut online and in select stores on February 8th. Keep scrolling to see all the magic—and maybe embrace that #ThrowbackThursday playlist at the same time.

ACOUSTICA / CHEEK X 3

Taking packaging inspiration from that stack of CDs you refuse to throw away, this mini palette includes a frosty and shimmery highlighter, a mid-tone pink blush, and a warm brown bronzing powder.

LO-FI / EYE SHADOW X 29

With 29 different eyeshadows included in this boombox-shaped palette, you'll never have a shortage of looks to create. Our favorite shadow name? Disco Therapy, a bright orange.

FUTURE EMOTION / LIP X 9

Let's take it way, way back with a cassette tape, shall we? That's what this 9-shade lip palette looks like. Digging It, a deep dusty brown, is all you need to seal the '90s deal.

The Best Golden Globes Nominee Makeovers and Makeunders

This year's Golden Globes nominees list is all about the transformation. From Mary J. Blige's stripped-down performance as Florence Jackson in Mudbound to Margot Robbie's makeunder into Tonya Harding for I, Tonya, there are quite a few chameleons gunning for Golden Globes gold.

Blige recently opened up about how stepping away from her usual glam persona for the role changed her for the better.

“I had to surrender and commit completely to Florence," Blige told Billboard. “Like the little ugly boots she was wearing every day and those dresses ... We couldn't wear makeup. We couldn't have nails. We couldn't do eyelashes. I was stripped down to the bare necessities of Mary. And that really helped me because people were saying things like, ‘Gosh, you're so beautiful.' It helped my self-esteem.”

Emma Stone was also nearly recognizable as tennis icon Billie Jean King in Battle of the Sexes, and told The Hollywood Reporter playing the role was even more challenging since it marked the first time she hadn't played a fictitious character.

"I've never played a real person before and it's, like, this person is an icon and an absolute badass that I could never even hope to be exactly like," Stone told the mag. "Capturing the essence was very important to us. It was super challenging, but [King] was so warm and welcoming and open to all of it.”

Stone, Robbie, and Blige’s transformations paid off — all earned best actress or best supporting actress nominations, respectively. And they weren’t the only ones whose makeovers could earn them a Golden Globe. Take a peek at more of the best transformations on the 2018 Golden Globe nominees list!

All the Details of Mandy Moore's Emmys Beauty Look

Mandy Moore had a lot to smile about on the Emmy red carpet. The actress is capping off an already celebratory week, in which she got engaged to boyfriend of two years Taylor Goldsmith and landed a big beauty gig as the new face of Garnier, with a visit to the awards show where This Is Us has five nominations. Stepping out solo in a black-and-white Carolina Herrera dress and custom Jennifer Meyer jewelry and that oh-so-pretty new accessory on her left hand, the star, 33, completed her look (styled by Erica Cloud) with a romantic updo, bold lip and subdued nails, and PeopleStyle has all the scoop on how it came together straight from her glam squad: hairstylist Ashley Streicher, makeup artist Jenn Streicher and manicurist Michelle Saunders.

The Scene

The Streicher Sisters arrived at their Beverly Hills beauty studio STRIIIKE around 10:30 that morning to prep, make coffee and set up an award-worthy meant and cheese plate, says Ashley Streicher. "Because Mandy prefers to get ready at our space, we make it as lovely as possible!"

While the squad has getting the actress red-carpet ready down to a science, there was an exciting new wrinkle in tonight's session: Moore's engagement news. Makeup artist Jenn Streicher says their time together was "definitely celebratory! We cheered so many times. Her best friend Raina even came and bought caviar and crackers. It was a party!" Adds Ashley, "We love throwing events and this was an extra special event that we loved having. It felt very special and fun."

The Nails

"Usually the dress and jewels inspire the nail color and that was definitely the case today," explains manicurist Michelle Saunders, revealing the duo "worked off her Carolina Herrera dress, custom Jennifer Meyer pink tourmaline jewelry and of course that new piece of jewelry on her left hand!"

According to the pro, the newly-engaged star "had her heart set on an understated, elegant look, but also wanted to bring some fun to the red carpet." So the two decided to create a low-key two-tone look using two Essie shades, Ballet Slippers and Muchi, Muchi.

Keeping Moore's nails "slightly longer than usual to highlight the subtle nail art" Saunders started by applying Ballet Slippers at the base of the nail creating a half-moon shape, and topped the rest of the nail with the creamy pink mauve shade.

The Makeup

While manicurist Saunders was busy taking Moore's new ring into consideration, makeup artist Jenn Streicher was focused on Moore's black eye.

"Knowing that she hurt her eye only a few weeks ago, I didn't want to mess with it, so I knew I was going to do a lip."

Streicher lightly applied Retrouvé Revitalizing Eye Concentrate around Moore's delicate eye area, then added just a light wash of bronze, copper and rose gold hues from Laura Mercier to softly highlight the star's eyes.

The decision to pick bright pink was an easy one for the duo, who often reach for statement-making colors.

"I really wanted to go with the bold pink color, and Mandy agreed!  She was wearing such a beautiful choker with pink diamonds, so I wanted to give a nod to that with a pop of color, which is my M.O.!"

The shade? Laura Mercier Velour Lovers Lip Colour in French Kiss. "One day I was wearing this color and Mandy asked me what it was, so I gave it to her. She loves it!"

The Hair

"The first time Mandy tried the dress on I had thrown her hair up in a messy french twist, so the pictures we had of her initially were pretty perfect as far as the hair was concerned," reveals Ashley.

For today's look, she applied a pea-size amount of Garnier Fructis Style Smooth Blow Dream Anti-Frizz Cream to damp hair. "It's a great base product to eliminate frizz but light enough to add more products over." To maintain volume at her roots, Ashley massaged a mousse on her scalp, then rough-dried the area. Next she sprayed Garnier Fructis Style Mega Full Thickening Lotion on Moore's damp ends for "mega texture and hold." Then she blow-dried Moore's hair in small sections from the nape of her neck forward using a small round brush. "Just for some added texture and volume I went through and wrapped pieces around a one inch curling iron and sprayed an anti-humidity hairspray all over. I went through and did some slight back combing from the crown to ensure the hair pins will hold tight." Then Ashley swept her hair up into a clean, french twist.

All in all, the style took about an hour and a half to create. "We get distracted easily," Ashley admits.

Looking for fresh makeup ideas?

ALBERTA FERRETTI: "The most beautiful girl in the world" is what makeup artist Tom Pecheaux aimed at while creating the beauty look for Alberta Ferretti — "a very sexy woman," Pecheaux underscored. Smoky eyes defined by a little bit of eyeliner were key. On top, a very fresh lavender glitter by MAC Cosmetics highlighted eyelids and cheekbones. It's not a glossy look, but a glowy one: "We replaced the gloss with a glitter," Pecheaux explained. The makeup played with the contrast of a very satiny skin and nude lips. Skin was prepared with a massage and a little bit of contour, while no powder was used, and it was smoothed with Waterweight foundation by MAC Cosmetics, in a way that it looked flawless but natural. Waterweight foundation was used on the cheek contour, two shades darker than the model's skin tone.

FENDI: The beauty look at Fendi was all about the eye. Makeup artist Peter Philips shaped a very graphic makeup to get a "strong, bold effect," he said. Inspired by the ready-to-wear collection, Philips mixed ranges of colors to get to a petrol, blue-green hue, which matched the clothes. A little bit of black mascara was used on the top lashes. The smoky eye played with the contrast of a natural yet luminous skin, which was prepared using Diorskin Star Foundation, a touch of contouring, no blush, but a wash of powder only. Lips and nails were kept natural, to balance strong graphic eyes.

PRADA: Speaking about the beauty look at Prada, makeup artist Pat McGrath described a very strong, independent and individual woman. A tomboy-like girl, because "tomboys can be beautiful." The inspiration came from the idea of a very fresh and honest girl who is direct and sensual at the same time. No mascara was used on the eyelashes, while eyebrows were mainly brushed up. Eyelids were smoothed with a Pat McGrath Lab palette in the more natural matte hue because "it's all about the skin" McGrath underscored, as the inspiration comes from a very direct woman. To highlight the skin, she used a light touch of foundation, "almost used as a contour." Lips were just balmed and kept natural and nails followed the same trend: they were just kept neutral, only well-polished.

GIORGIO ARMANI: Graphic eyes that match with graphic hair. This time "we wanted to do something more [artistic] and more free," makeup artist Linda Cantello said, speaking about how she studied the look with Giorgio Armani for spring. The look was about black-and-white shadows and the makeup was applied as it was a painting, a painted skin that one can mix and match and blend. A strong black line defined the eyes with shadows and white flashes of light, but this contrast was modeled by respecting each girl's personality. As the focus was on the eye, skin had a fresh look. A brand new base was prepared for skin, a whitish highlighter that can be blended — and will come out in a line in April.

ETRO: A massive show with nearly 100 male and female models, to start the celebrations of the 50th anniversary of the company founded in 1968. Etro's atmosphere was a mix of tradition and innovation and was inspired by the idea of a woman on her trip to India. Makeup artist Mark Carrasquillo created "a real gentle and delicate makeup," as he explained. Skin was almost bare as the focus was on a natural shiny face. A delicate highlighter was used on the nose, on the chin and around the eye. No mascara on the eyelashes and a little bit of concealer helped give a "super-gentle version of the girl's beauty." A luminous, gorgeous glowy yet natural skin: "A very easy but pretty beauty." Lips were very well-balmed and left neutral to emphasize a great natural beauty.

MISSONI: "It's all about the eyes, which become very graphic and almost neon," makeup artist Lynsey Alexander said. The inspiration came from those late Eighties, early Nineties cool pictures. "Think about Amber Valletta," Alexander said, as shot by Craig McDean. To get the bold graphic shades on the eyes, Alexander used a combination of acrylic paints to create custom Missoni color on green, purple and blue hues. No mascara was used on the eyelids and skin was kept fresh and natural, too, while a smidgen of concealer was used only if needed. Prime Highlighter pen helped brighten below the eyes.

MARNI: The dream of a treasure hunt, where we need beauty, eclecticism and "individualism," said makeup artist Pat McGrath, describing Marni's beauty look. "We wanted all the girls to have bold colorblocking," in blue, baby blue and green. Color was dabbed as if the makeup was applied with one's fingers, in an elongated shape. No mascara was used and, as a contrast, skin was kept fresh, with no blush but just foundation and concealer.

Best new autumn beauty trends to try

Hair colour: METAL HEAD 

When it comes to colour this season, think futuristic. While grey was a massive trend last year, the look has been updated for autumn with a metallic silver finish.

"Clients are being more open to experimenting with colour," says Jack Howard, hair colourist at Paul Edmonds London.

"Metallic colour is a great option as you can achieve a very soft and subtle effect or go for something very bold and iridescent such as all-over silver. This makes it very accessible, irrespective of your age. "It is a very versatile trend and that's why it is going to be so popular. It suits all skin tones, too, you just need to find the right shade for you."

Jack says ashy shades work well on cooler skin tones and champagne hues are great on those with a warmer complexion.

To try the trend, L'Oréal Professional Metalight service, which is available nationwide, involves having shimmering metallic highlights delicately placed for a beautiful luminous effect.

Or for a more dramatic look, the Supernova Root Smudge combines striking dark metallic grey at the roots with softer shades of silver in the lengths.

Hair style: CHOP CHOP 

Recent research has revealed that 14 per cent of women in the UK get their hair cut shorter at the end of summer.

"Hair can end up frazzled after the summer months due to overexposure to the sun, chlorine and other environmental factors so it is a great time to go for the chop," says hairdresser and Ghd ambassador Adam Reed.

"Whether you embrace a choppy pixie crop, go for a blunt bob or play around with the new on-trend textured long bob, there is a shorter style to suit all face shapes."

This year, Ghd has teamed up with The Little Princess Trust for a campaign that allows you to donate your chopped-off hair.

The charity makes real-hair wigs for children who have lost their own hair through cancer treatment and other illnesses. It can accept a minimum hair donation of seven inches – or 17cm – so what better reason to go for the chop? Visit ghdhair.com to find your local participating salon.

Nails: FLOWER POWER 

Whether handpainted at Kenzo or stuck on at Preen, floral nails were everywhere on the autumn/winter 2017 catwalks and are set to be a huge trend this season.

"This is a great trend as you can adapt it to suit you," says OPI nail expert Jenni Draper. Jenni recommends a trip to your local crafts shop to pick up some pretty pressed flowers.

Choose small flowers so they will fit on your nails and trim the blooms so they are the right size and shape before you begin. "Start with a neutral or clear base and apply two coats. While the polish is drying, gently press the flowers on to the nail.

"For a modern look, don't use a top coat as this will add shine and may squash the flowers."

You can add as many or as few flowers as you like, from all over to just one on a single nail. Alternatively, channel your inner artist and paint on flowers.

"Start again with a neutral base and use a cocktail stick to apply one central dot per flower, followed by five dots around the outside," says Jenni. "Keep the dots close together and drag each one inwards to give a pretty petal effect." To finish, apply OPI Plumping Top Coat, £14.50 (opiuk.com) to keep it all in place.

Skincare: GLASS SKIN 

Hailing from Korea and seen on the autumn/winter 2017 catwalks at Phillip Lim and Max Mara, the latest skincare trend to try is "glass skin".

"This is such a popular trend as it is what so many of us are striving for: flawless and youthful skin."

Ultra clean skin is the first step, so invest in an oil cleanser such as Time Bomb Peace & Quiet Coconut Cleansing Oil, £25 (timebombco. com).

"Oil has a smaller molecular structure than creams or lotions which means it gets to work at a deeper level of your skin, plus you'll be hydrating, soothing and cleansing your skin all at once," says Michaella.

For fresh, dewy skin choose an exfoliator with alpha and beta hydroxy acids (AHA/BHA) such as Radical Skincare Age-Defying Exfoliating Pads, £48 (spacenk.com) and use twice a week to remove dead, dull and drab skin. "Hydration is key for a sheen so I would suggest layering hydrating products in true Korean style," says Michaella.

"Choose a high percentage hyaluronic acid serum, followed by a plant-based facial oil and finish off with a lightweight yet super hydrating moisturiser."

"This sees skin that is so smooth, hydrated and poreless that it appears translucent and sheens like glass," says Time Bomb skincare expert Michaella Bolder.

Make-up: SUNSET EYES 

Update your eyes for autumn with a sunset shadow. Striking orange haloes around the eyes were seen backstage at the autumn/winter 2017 J JS Lee show, and Pinterest has reported a 420 per cent increase in searches for "burnt orange eyeshadow" in the past six months.

"Creating an autumnal sunset eye is about choosing one shade and building around it with different depths of that shade," says Danielle Roberts, senior make-up artist for Urban Decay.

"The brow bone should be highlighted with a neutral. The crease shade should be a beautiful orange or burgundy, transitioning into a softer shade, with a darker version of the crease on the lid."

The Only Beauty Staple You Need in Your Makeup Bag

Turning the calendar to the first of September can inspire wistful feelings in even the most optimistic, but not every remnant of summer is on its way out—especially in the case of a beloved summer glow. Adding liquid blush to your makeup bag can help extend a sun-kissed effect well through fall. Where a swipe of powder rouge may give skin a healthy dose of color, cream formulas offer a hyper-realistic "flushed from within look," says celebrity makeup artist Hung Vanngo, whose proficiency with radiant complexions is a calling card for his A-list clients (including the Olsen sisters, Naomie Harris, and Amy Adams).

Consider NARS's dewy version of its cult classic shade Orgasm that imparts a just-pinched pink glow, while Glossier's buildable Cloud Paint in Dusk leaves cheeks with a believable, sun-imparted bronze. So, too, does Giorgio Armani's shimmer-infused formula, which will call to mind the look of languid, humid days. And when a liquid or cream blush isn't in reach, Vanngo opts for a bright apricot shade of creamy lipstick to warm skin. To apply, he recommends "dabbing on your fingertips," making a gentle smile, then "blending upwards, on the apples of your cheeks."

No matter the formula, Vanngo warns that a light hand is key—starting out with a small amount and then building for desired intensity. Whether you're looking for a slight touch of color or a full-fledged rouge, these eight picks will be the quick fix to a fall makeup routine.

The Fashion Influencer Has Found A New Gig

In June it was announced that the much-revered J. Crew CEO Millard "Mickey" Drexler would be stepping down from his position at the fashion brand. While that news in and of itself was certainly noteworthy — J. Crew's sales had suffered over the past few years, and earlier this year, creative director Jenna Lyons left the company, indicating the brand needed to shake things up — it was Drexler's replacement that raised eyebrows in the industry. James Brett, the president of the furniture retailer West Elm and relative fashion outsider, would be taking over in a corporate about-face no one saw coming.

Perhaps this high-profile changing of the guard is just the most visible manifestation of a trend that's been incubating in certain circles — notably among social media influencers. There, focusing on fashion is increasingly less desirable than casting a large net and committing to the more nebulous, broader "lifestyle" market; be it home decor, food, travel, parenting, or wellness, lifestyle has replaced the hyper-specific categorical markets that web personalities tried to corner earlier in their careers. Today, you may have noticed that many of your favorite social media stars are posting recipes they love, or chronicling a home renovation project — and that's no accident.

It makes sense that after a certain point it was no longer enough to share the contents of your closet; in 2017, that's a crowded market, and whether you unbox one-of-a-kind couture or steals from TJ Maxx, we, as an internet culture, have ridden that wave to the point on no return. Now, everything from the food you eat, to the couch you're sitting on, to your summer vacation, to the diapers you swaddle your children in, can be turned into a grand promotion for Living the Good Life™. Savvy or scary? You decide.

"I feel like six, seven years ago, talent stayed in their lane," says Reesa Lake, a partner and SVP at the influencer agency Digital Brand Architects. But Lake notes that as these web entrepreneurs grew up, the brands they built around their own lives needed to reflect that. "There's definitely been a shift, a move toward lifestyle content," she says. "I think that layers in with how their lives have evolved."

Lake gives the example of Helena Glazer Hodne of Brooklyn Blonde, who touts 460K Instagram followers. "She used to be all fashion but then she started talking about beauty and skincare because that was something that was important to her," she says. "Then she bought a new home, so she started to do interiors and how she is redesigning her home and her space. And as she became a mom she started to layer in topics that were related to pregnancy and raising a family."

How to Transition Your Hair Color From Summer to Fall Like a Pro

"Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall," wrote F. Scott Fitzgerald in The Great Gatsby. The first step towards reinvention? Changing up your hair color, of course. "It's all about making [hair] richer, warmer, or cooler, as well as getting rid of unwanted tones from the sun and elements," says colorist Aura Friedman, who suggests cleansing hair with Malibu C Hard Water Wellness Shampoo to undo the damage of fade-inducing sunlight, chlorine, and seawater. Once strands are detoxed, you can recalibrate your choice shade, she says. Here, the most sought-after pros weigh in on how to do just that come autumn.

For blondes, there's no time like fall to embrace warmth. Why? Because "ashy and beige shades wash out your complexion," explains Rita Hazan, the woman behind Beyoncé's blanched lengths. Mèche Salon's Matt Rez agrees; for glowing color with a graceful grow out, he first creates dimension with butterscotch lowlights, then bolsters highlights with a golden gloss, he says.

Before lightening up, a brunette must go darker. "Usually brunettes get brassy in the summer, so go one or two shades darker with your single process to counteract any unwanted orange or red tones," says Hazan. For movement and pop, Rez likes to paint on soft ribbons of honey highlights, especially around the face.

Whether washed-out ginger or eye-popping vermillion, avoid cool undertones. "Warmer tones, like auburn, tend to be more flattering," explains Hazan, who is partial to a solid color for redheads. To maintain vividness, the stylist's three-minute in-shower Ultimate Shine Gloss will protect color while giving it an extra boost. If you do want the balayage treatment, tone highlights with a copper or strawberry hue, adds Rez.

When the temperatures begin to drop, nothing suits jet-black hair like a cool-girl violet or a red tint achieved with gloss. But if it's simply more dimension you desire, deep cinnamon baby-highlights are key: "They add sparkle when the hair moves."

Fall Makeup Trends 2017

Back to cool! As we make the transition back to a post-summer routine, work or school, our makeup looks follow suit. Trends make a progression from the summer pastels and neutrals to transitional colours and warm tones as the Autumn weather settles in. Some beautiful and exciting makeup looks will be all the rage this fall. Two keywords: metals and berries! Here are the deets about Fall 2017:

Eyeshadows In Metals & Brights:

Generously applied metal eyeshadow in bold dark colours such as deep burgundy, gold, silver, gunmetal, copper and orange are super avant garde. The Kat Von D Shade + Light Glimmer Contour Palette is a collection of 12 glimmering neutral shades that, when packed on with a setting spray dampened brush, will capture the metallic look. A high-end palette that will set you back $85 but worth every cent is the Huda Beauty Eyeshadow Palette in the “Rose Gold Edition." This collection features highly pigmented gorgeous Autumn vogue shades in mattes, chrome pressed pearls and 3D metals. These shadows are incredibly blendable and the 3D metals can be swept over other shades to "metalize" them. A great coordinating eyeliner pencil for your water line or for eye contouring that matches with the latest colours is the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in the berry/burgundy colour Alkaline... divine!

Strikingly bold bright pops of colour that range from tropical to even neon, worn in conjunction with darker shades, alone all over the lid, or to highlight the lid crease have been seen on many of the runways for the upcoming season. It may sound a little juvenile, but Pür cosmetics has created a palette full of beautiful blendable brights called My Little Pony, The Movie that perfectly nails this look!  Each shadow shade in this somewhat mystical palette is named and modelled after a Pony character. Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle and Magic are examples of some of the names given to these notably high quality and blendable shadows perfectly on-trend for the season. It is okay to regress... this item is a must in your makeup collection!

Spiky & Full Lashes:

Long, "out there" faux lashes both on the top and bottom lash line are hot this season. Lashes will be either very full or spiky and "Twiggy" like. Flawless by Ardell is the company's higher end lash collection made from real Remy hair and offers a range of styles that meet the criteria for the lash looks this season. They are easy to apply, soft and comfortable. I also really like Velour Lashes if you choose to "go faux".

Berry Colored Lips:

Deep dark burgundy and berry coloured lipstick will be fashion-forward this season as well as a pink lip from light to subtle fuchsia. My berry lipstick of choice is by Tom Ford in the shade, Bruised Plum. This is a highly pigmented and luxurious satin lipstick that is the epitome of quality. A striking pink/berry liquid lipstick that will work well for this fall season is Primrose by Burberry.  Rimmel's Lasting Finish Lipstick by Kate Moss #30 is a perfect, affordable berry that is bold but not too overpowering due to its slight pink undertone. It really captures the fall lipstick look and is a semi-matte formula that glides on easily and claims to last eight hours. (Meh... long lasting but I wouldn't say that long... Lol). Rimmel says that the product is infused with so-called black diamonds, responsible for the shade's eye catching shine. Since this product only has a number and not a name, I gave it my own descriptive moniker and fondly call it Rimmel in "Manischewitz Concord."

Plum & Peach Blush:

Blushes will have an interesting range this season and are trendy in both Peach and Plum colors. My preferred blushes are both by NARS. Their famous peach colour, Orgasm fits the bill this season. If you are a little bold you may opt for the shade Super Orgasm, which is peachy and more intense as it features gold glitter. Seduction is a perfect plum/berry blendable blush that trendsetters will definitely need to sport this season.

Brow Looks To Kick The Night Off Right

My favorite part of July 4th weekend is the fireworks. Having the day off is cool and all, and I'll never pass up a good backyard barbecue. But, at the end of the day, I love watching my neighbors set off their illegal sparklers from the front porch, or hitting up a rooftop so I can see the Macy's light show from afar.

The only problem: It's nearly impossible to outshine the grand pyrotechnics of a fireworks show — until now. Use this weekend as an excuse to get extra glittery with your eye glam — whether you're doing the whole lid, just a swipe of liner, or accentuating your brows. I mean, there are plenty of glitter liptutorials to be seen... but you'll be digging into a plateful of ribs (just me?), so there's no point in wasting that manpower. Find out how to get your shine on, ahead.

Approved Tutorials To Break Down Contouring Once And For All

Another day, another way to contour — amirite? Over the past few years, dozens of unique, and sometimes bizarre, methods have made the rounds online. There's clown contouring, lip contouring, heck, even boob contouringexists. Oh, and don't forget about the anti-contouring trend, strobing. In case you're not familiar, it calls upon highlighter to bring certain features forward, rather than sculpting products, which fake shadows to send features back, creating the chiseled effect.

Needless to say, some of these techniques are more feasible than others. The idea of sculpting your face like Kim K. can be overwhelming, so we're here to help with the basics. Contouring is an art in and of itself, but these tutorials help simplify it using a few simple techniques.

This Combo Is The Secret To My Best Skin Ever

The word "miracle" gets thrown around a lot in the beauty space. And let's be real — most of the time, these heaven-sent products don't live up to their rep. So yes, I'm skeptical when it comes to hyperbole, but the more I heard about Sunday Riley's Luna Sleeping Night Oil — first, it won Most Innovative Skin-Care Launch in our Beauty Innovator Awards; then, our deputy beauty editor wrote it up as one of her cult-favorite products — the more I had know what made this little blue bottle so, well, miraculous.

The folks over at Sunday Riley must have read my mind, because as a holiday present, they sent me a small bottle of Luna along with the brand's Good Genes treatment. Luna is a nighttime oil with retinol. Its mix of cold-pressed oils work as a cushion to deliver the retinol — which can sometimes be harsh on the skin. (BTW: My coworker, who swears by it, happens to be a retinol fanatic). Good Genes is a lactic acid treatment that can be used in the morning or at night. It also contains arnica, licorice, and lemongrass to help exfoliate and add vibrancy to the skin.

I immediately started using the two in tandem. After I exfoliated my face in the morning (I don't use a typical cleanser in the a.m.), I'd smooth on Good Genes, let it do its thing for a few minutes, and then smooth on my moisturizing oil. At night, I'd remove my makeup, cleanse my face, pop on a mask, rinse, and then smooth on Luna in lieu of a typical night cream. I started off by using Luna every other day, so my skin could adjust, but after a week, I was using it nightly.

I saw results almost immediately — especially in the morning. I'd wake up to baby-soft skin, thanks to the mix of retinol and oils in Luna. Then, after smoothing on Good Genes, my skin tone would go from slightly splotchy (thanks to the exfoliating) to totally toned. I even cut back on the amount of concealer I use on a daily basis because of how well these two things work. It's my new go-to routine.

The one caveat? Sunday Riley's products aren't exactly the cheapest on the market. But they are made with prescription-strength ingredients, so you're getting the most bang for your buck. They have a cult following for a reason: They actually work. And if good skin care is something you're willing to invest in, you won't be disappointed. Just go to any site that sells them and you'll see dozens of happy customers exclaiming that these are worth the price. Now, I'm one of them.

Lush's Audrey Hepburn-Inspired Bath Bomb Is Getting A HUGE Makeover

If you're a diehard Audrey Hepburn fan, you're probably well aware that the 1957 film Funny Face is by far her most underrated — and Lush agrees. In fact, more than 10 years ago, the bath and body brand launched one of its original bath bombs, Pink, inspired by the famous “Think Pink” opening scene of the movie. (You probably recognize it as the orb that we speculated was Harry Styles' album cover.) But because it didn't scream Funny Face, the bath bomb is getting a major makeover, starting today — and we've got an exclusive sneak peek.

Haven't seen the scene? You've gotta get on that ASAP, but nonetheless, here's the gist: Maggie Prescott (Kay Thompson), the editor for Quality magazine is bummed out by the dark, dismal colors haunting the publication's latest issue, and suddenly gets a flash of inspiration by pink fabric. The impending song is decorated with colored tissues and textures dancing on the screen all dyed a healthy dose of pink. Several scenes later Jo Stockton, played by Hepburn, strikes Prescott and photographer Dick Avery (Fred Astaire) as the girl with the funny face — just the kind of face they need to revamp the magazine. Et voila — decades later you have a bath bomb that explodes hot pink fizz all over your tub. But it's about to get even better.

First of all, there's a lot of Audrey Hepburn on the beauty market — Besamé Cosmetics created a coral lipstick formulated to look exactly like the actress' signature color; Givenchy uses Hepburn as a muse for its fragrances — so Lush knew it had to up its game. So what can we expect? The brand told us that it's ready to jack up the Pink bath bomb with even more Hepburn references, we were so ready.

Starting today online and on July 28 in stores, the new Pink bath bomb will resemble the exact fabric in that Funny Face scene that all Hepburn fanatics know and love. Formulated with cornstarch and silver lustre, when the bath bomb hits the water, it'll diffuse into a “silken, fabric-like feel in the water” — just like the film's song. And forget the flowers adorning the top of the OG Pink — now, the fizzy will feel more ~mature~ and distinctly inspired by the '50s film. (You can see the side by side, above, for comparison.)

Lucy Hale Told Us Her Best Makeup Trick

Lipstick is the accent pillow of the beauty world — nothing can pull a look together quite like it. It's also inexplicably versatile, which is perhaps why so many people reach for a coordinating color of eye shadow, nail polish, or clothing item. No one, however, does a monochromatic look like Lucy Hale... especially because you've probably never even noticed.

When we sat down with the actress last week to chat all things beauty (full interview coming soon), but we couldn't stop staring at her matching red shoes and lipstick — shades of bright, fiery crimson that took her ordinary yellow dress from fun to fash-un. (For the record, they were strappy shoes matched to Mark. By Avon's liquid lippie in Spark.) Turns out, it's something she's been doing before the name Aria Montgomery meant anything to anyone. "It's one of my favorite tricks,” Hale tells us.

Now that we know her secret, it's damn near impossible to ignore. Ahead, the proof that might just convince you to jump on the shoe-lipstick bandwagon. If you do, it helps if you're not wearing five-inch heels.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's Biggest Beauty Regret Is Horrifying

In case you couldn't already tell from her flat lays on Instagram or product reviews on Snapchat, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley knows her shit when it comes to beauty. It's not just in the makeup she creates (Rosie For Autograph) or the hair elixirs she swears by and gets paid to push (Moroccanoil), either. The proof is in the way her skin and hair always manages to look damn near flawless — despite the jam-packed schedule that comes with being a model-slash-actress-slash-new mom. Which, she'll tell you, takes a hell of a lot more work than it appears.

"My skin is, essentially, the canvas of what I do, so it's important for me to look after it the best way I can," she tells Refinery29. "I'm diligent. I take the time to learn about my skin and invest in the best products I can."

Her medicine cabinet sees no shortage of all-natural blends that are effective yet self-indulgent — which makes her partnership with French beauty brand Caudalíe picture-perfect. Ahead, Huntington-Whiteley shares the biggest skin-care lessons she's learned, what it's really like to be backstage at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, and more.

Her Biggest Beauty Regret

"When I was 19, I remember going to the [tanning] salon in New York before a big shoot, and laying down on the bed and thinking, 'This is so warm and lovely.' Then I got home and started to move around and felt that my bum was really sore. My butt had never seen daylight before, so it was that milky, English, white skin, and now it was red and raw. It was sore for at least three days — I couldn't sit down — and it took weeks for the swelling to go down."

What Backstage Is Actually Like

There's a reason the phrase, "The bigger the hair, the closer to Jesus," comes to mind when Huntington-Whiteley was asked to describe her time walking the Victoria's Secret runway. "We lived by two things: dry shampoo and hairspray," she says. "If I could sum up my career in one scent, it would be the L'Oréal [Elnett] Hairspray. Any time I smell it, it takes me right back to being 16 on my first shoot."

The first time she got a whiff of the Caudalíe Beauty Elixir was also at a fashion show. "It was one of those crazy moments where I was being pulled around backstage; someone was taking off my makeup, and after they were done, they sprayed it on my face. I remember being transported to another dimension almost [laughs]."

How She Made Her Big Career Jump

When Huntington-Whiteley transitioned from modeling to movies (she starred in back-to-back action films Transformers: Dark of the Moon and Mad Max: Fury Road), she noticed one major difference: "Beauty on a movie set is so different to how it is in fashion, because with movie makeup you're not learning how to use the products in real life," she says. "The makeup artists on set are trained completely differently."

Shooting was different, too. "Both were environmentally intense. With Mad Max, we were in the desert for six months. I had prosthetics put on my face every morning; I had scars applied with makeup, and I was [outside] with wind and dust, so it was havoc on my skin. You hair also gets really battered because you're in the hair and makeup chair every single day, five or six days a week, for six months. I think that the thing I've picked up on a movie set is a hair treatment."

The remedy, Huntington-Whiteley says, is the conditioning treatment Olaplex — well, that and the ol' model standby: "lots of water."

Your Ultimate Guide To Korean Skincare

From French pharmacy finds to Sephora hauls, here in the UK we love investing in beauty from faraway destinations. However, when it comes to skincare and makeup innovation, it's Asia we turn to, in particular South Korea.

While for many in the UK skincare is simply face wipes and a bit of a moisturiser, in Korea, taking care of your skin is a way of life and embedded in their culture. Skincare routines are drilled into young girls (and boys) from a young age and glowing skin is a sign of health and something worth investing significant time and money in. In fact, according to the BBC, South Korean women spend twice as much of their income on beauty products and make-up than their American counterparts.

Unsurprisingly, South Korea is the market-leader when it comes to creating new game-changing ingredients, formulas and products, and by always being a few years ahead of the West, big skincare companies around the world look to Korea for inspiration when dreaming up new lotions and potions. BB creams, double-cleansers, sheet masks are all K-Beauty trends that have made their way into the mainstream beauty market. And thanks to selection of Korean products available online here in the UK (try Cult Beauty, Beauty Mart, Beauty and Seoul, and The Silk Rose), you can get a slice of the real deal at the click of the mouse.

So how do you go about investing in a new Korean inspired skincare-routine. We've broken it down for you…

The daily Korean skincare-routine

7-step? 10-step? 15-step? The jury is out on how many steps are actually in a Korean skincare routine, however, one thing is for sure, there is a lot more than the classic cleanse, tone and moisturise we're sold here in the UK. While it may sound intimidating at first, it's important to point out that not every step is needed every morning or night, and some are only once or twice a week. Plus, it goes without saying that choosing to embark on such a routine is a time commitment (in the evenings it can be up to fifteen minutes), however Korean women see this is as a positive - they view skincare as a ritual to treasure and look forward to at the end of a busy day. These are the key steps to try...

Double Cleanse

Cleansing is possibly the most important stage of the process - without properly cleansed skin none of your other products will be able to work to their full potential. First up, you need to remove makeup, daily grime and SPF with an oil-based cleanser - massage into skin and wash off with warm water. Then go in with a water-based cleanser (foaming, milky or creamy cleansers all work a treat), for a deeper cleanse of the skin. FYI: double cleansing is only needed in the evening, in the morning you can just do the second step.

Essence

Next up it's an essence - not a word we are too familiar with in the Western world but surely one we are likely to see more of. Used post-cleanse, essences are all about giving your skin a hit of hydration and providing a helping hand for the layers that come after. Spritz over damp skin before going in with your serum of choice.

Serum

ICYMI: moisturisers don't actually moisturise your skin (they can't go deep enough) but simply act as a final protection layer. To target skin issues - whether that's dryness, redness, oiliness or more - you need a super-concentrated serum. Choose the product based on your skin type and apply sparingly by pressing into the skin after spritzing your essence. Mix and match depending on how your skin feels that day, and don't be afraid to layer more than one serum at a time just like the Koreans do.

Eye cream

According to the Korean school of thought, the delicate eye area needs a separate cream. Apply by gently tapping using your smallest finger below the eyebrow and under the eye.

Moisturiser

The penultimate layer before your SPF/makeup is moisturiser. You can use the same product for day and night or a different one if you fancy - you might prefer a more lightweight option under makeup, and a richer formula for evening.

Superior SPF

While a whole myriad of products claim to either prevent signs of ageing, the only thing guaranteed to slow down the aesthetic ageing process is wearing a wide spectrum SPF every single day. Yep, even here in grey England. While suncreams of the past were white, thick and greasy, the formulas have come on leaps and bounds, in particular in Korea where people have a religious like attitude to SPF. Apply every morning to your face, neck and decolletage.

Sheet Masks

One of Korea's most successful beauty exports, you've probably seen a sheet mask selfie on Instagram. Essentially a cotton mask infused with a cocktail of skin boosting ingredients, leaving the mask on your face for up to half an hour helps to penetrate the ingredients deep into the skin. They are not the easiest to apply (and you may scare your housemates), but they work a dream when it comes to hydrating the skin. Some Korean women would apply a face mask daily but realistically it's probably better to aim to do one once or twice a week.

Sleep Masks

Make the most of those precious hours of kip with a mask that will work while you get your shut eye. In Korea, the phenomenon that is sleep masks (or sleep packs) are super popular. Rich and reparative overnight treatments, they deeply hydrate whilst also protecting your face from the dehydrating atmosphere.

Exfoliation

Once or twice a week, Koreans exfoliate their skin post-cleanser to buff away dead skin cells and increase the skin renewal process. Not only will it leave your complexion both clearer and brighter, it will maximise the potential of the products you put on after.

Fashion’s repeat performers include bow blouses, fanny packs and ruffles

When it comes to fashion, designers do delve into the past and attempt to re-create favorite styles for contemporary times. Many things from previous decades have made comebacks in recent seasons – from fringe, flares and short suede skirts to jelly sandals, hair scrunchies and cold-shoulder tops. Recent runs of designer fashion shows in New York – plus a look at what retailers are offering for Fall 2016 – revealed a few more.

Below, we highlight just five (and be sure you read the story on Page F3 on TV tray tables making a comeback, too).

Chokers

It may sound odd to say that something that dates back to the world's earliest civilizations has made yet another comeback, but we'll say it anyway. Chokers are back – again. In March, the National Jeweler publication noted this online: "Long before they encircled the necks of goth girls in the 1990s or were made popular by the Princess of Wales in the late 1800s, chokers were donned by women in ancient civilizations, worn to protect what even back then they understood to be a very important part of the body, the neck."

Now, they're all over the runways and are spotted hugging the necks of celebrities. Last February, after designers unveiled their Fall 2016 collections in New York, Wmagazine.com wrote this: "Whether you're more of a downtown Alexander Wang girl, or an uptown Oscar de la Renta lady – chances are, you'll be wearing a choker come Fall 2016."

And possibly next spring, too. Tory Burch, Zang Toi and Monique Lhuillier were just a few designers who showed them earlier this month. Shop the stores now and you'll find chokers bejeweled or plain in a variety of materials and finishes including silver- and gold-tones, velvet, faux suede and more.

Puffed sleeves

Actress Karla Souza wore a dress with puffed sleeves to the Carolina Herrera fashion show earlier this year. Singer Bebe Rexha attended the iHeartRadio Music Awards last spring wearing a long-sleeved cropped top with puffed sleeves. Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, appears to prefer a slight puff at the shoulder seam as well. Very slight, as seen on the bright-blue shirt dress from designer Joseph Altuzarra she recently wore and the cream-colored blouse by British brand Goat Fashion she donned in May.

More exaggerated puffed sleeves appeared on the runway showcasing the Marc Jacobs collection during the recent New York Fashion Week. They were seen on an army jacket worn over a camouflage-print dress but grew even puffier on baby-doll dresses with balloon sleeves. Ultra puffs! On Vogue.com, fashion critic Suzy Menkes wrote that Jacobs' "long, puffed sleeves suggested a costume party for 7-year-olds."

Tie neck blouse

Tired of wearing scarves? The tie neck blouse – once associated with the '70s and power dressing – has made strong showings in recent seasons. Last year, the Huffington Post suggested women not run in the other direction but rather give them a second look and consider a few tips: "First, when wearing a tie neck blouse, keep the rest of your outfit simple, so it doesn't look like you're wearing a costume (the blouse makes a statement on its own). If you want to play it safe, buy a tie that you can add to a blouse instead of getting a blouse with a tie built in. A cream blouse with a black necktie is a classic, but if you want to really take a risk, go for a paisley or floral pattern – they go perfectly with most denim bottoms."

During this month's New York Fashion Week, model Niki Taylor wore a polka-dotted dress with tie neck to attend the Marc Jacobs show, while Justin Bieber music video star Cailin Russo wore a gold blouse with a huge bow – paired with a green tweed miniskirt, long coat and platform shoes.

With fall shopping season now underway, note that Macy's includes some tie neck blouses in its fall collection, including one from Charter Club in an oversized floral print shown with a long cardigan and slim-fit ankle pants. J. Crew offers some, too – as well as blouses with ruffles, which leads us to the next comeback trend ...

Ruffles!

We've written about ruffles before. Plenty of times over the years. Ruffles cascading down the fronts of cardigans and blouses. Ruffles on toss pillows. Ruffles in tiers on skirts. Some years are more ruffled than others – and this may be one of them. Buffalo native Adam Lippes showed them in New York earlier this week, including a ruffle trim on the bib of a black jumpsuit. Many more ruffles were found at New York Fashion Week – at J. Crew, Christian Siriano, Michael Kors and others.

Fanny packs

Forget the jokes – and even the awkward fanny pack photos found online. Fanny packs, if they ever really did go away, have made fresh appearances on the runways and are readily available from retailers ranging from Forever 21 and Urban Outfitters to Eastern Mountain Sports and Macy's (which offers styles from MICHAEL Michael Kors and other popular brands). Variations go by names such as "belt bag" and "waist pack."
