Ballet Heels and How to Style Them

Ballet Heels and How to Style Them

Ballet heels take the shape of a ballet flat and add a heel, which makes them one of the easiest dressy shoes to wear.

Laura Geller: The Broadway Artist Who Baked A Beauty Brand

Laura Geller spent years painting faces backstage on Broadway before she ever bottled anything, and that theatrical training still shows in how the line handles light. She built her name on an Italian baking technique and on Spackle, a primer she says she dreamed up after a news anchor joked about needing spackle for her wrinkles. What she has made since is a full wardrobe of Baked color built around one idea: makeup that reads well on camera and even better in person.

Black Baggy Jeans, Cut Wide

Black Baggy Jeans, Cut Wide

Black baggy jeans are what happened when skinny denim finally lost and everyone still needed something that goes with everything. The wide cut came out of nineties revival, the black came from wanting the volume without the casual read of blue denim. This edit sorts them by wash and cut, which is all that separates one baggy black jean from another.

Clarins Double Serum Foundation And The 1985 Serum Behind The Name

Clarins Double Serum Foundation And The 1985 Serum Behind The Name

Clarins Double Serum Foundation borrows its name and its two-chamber housing from the skincare serum Jacques Courtin-Clarins created in 1985, but it is its own liquid foundation with a claimed 12 hours of coverage. Clarins built the brand in Paris in 1954 on the idea of putting plant extracts into skincare, and that same lab now designs a foundation to sit alongside the rest of its complexion range. Here is where it fits next to the skincare Double Serum and the rest of the Clarins counter.

Slick Back Brush: Boar Bristle, Edge Brushes and Sticks for a Sleek Finish

The right slick back brush is really two brushes, one to smooth the length and one small enough for the hairline.

Start with the brush, because the product only works as well as the tool spreading it.

Night Cream Is Having a Quiet Comeback

This edit tracks what night dressing looks like now that effort is allowed again.
