A LOOK INTO THE BEAUTY BACKSTAGE AT THE CHANEL FALL-WINTER 2021/2022 HAUTE COUTURE SHOW (V Magazine)

vm79
Chanel's Fall-Winter 2021/2022 Haute Couture show took place on Tuesday in a theatrical spectacle. Straight from the stylish 16th arrondissement in Paris, the collection was featured against the backdrop of the Palais Galliera, the City of Paris Fashion Museum. Movements of French painting drove the materials and styles, with bright pops of color intended to offset the greyness of winter. Each piece was an artwork, with lines like brushstrokes and sparkly embellishments to give life to the garments. The makeup, too, was an art. But first, every good makeup look must start with a healthy canvas. The makeup artists at Chanel prepped the skin by using the intensely hydrating and illuminating Hydra Beauty Micro-Sérum and Hydra Beauty Camellia Water Cream. As a final touch, the Sublimage La Brume...

vog635
There are a lot of things that Rihanna gets right: music, legendary street style, flawless makeup, her signature pixie cut, and nights out in NYC with boyfriend A$AP Rocky. And now you can add posing in rainbow lingerie to that list. On Tuesday, the lingerie company founder posted a series of sexy photos to Instagram modeling the Savage x Fenty Pride collection. The "Pon de Replay" singer posed on a bed wearing a mesh, string thong stitched with rainbows and the word "pride." She paired the sexy undergarment with thigh-high black stockings, which have rainbow bands around the top, a black tee, layered necklaces, and yellow-tinted glasses. And lying next to the singer is maybe the most iconic part of the ensemble: a festive rainbow whip. The on-theme lingerie is a part of Savage...

In case you've been living under a rock or on a remote island for the past year and a half: we're just now easing out of a pandemic. During our time quarantined at home, many of us embraced our natural skin and focused on skincare rather than slathering on makeup. But now that outside has officially opened back up (at least in the U.S.), beauty lovers are using this as a chance to be as extra as possible when it comes to makeup application - especially for the eyes. So it makes sense that this summer's hottest makeup trend meets us right in the middle - and Dior's Cruise 2022 show, which took place at the Panathenaic Stadium in Athens, Greece, is a clear...

Dr. Reena Wadia, a periodontist who runs RW Perio, a specialist private practice in London, recommends Colgate Max White toothpaste. Alongside that, though, she has advice for at-home dental care. “Do not underestimate the value of good brushing and interdental cleaning,” she tells Vogue. “Invest in an electric toothbrush and learn to floss or ideally use interdental brushes.” Dr. Reena also specifies the importance of maintaining a balanced diet. “Anything that can stain a white T-shirt will generally stain your teeth,” she says,...
