Kelly Osbourne is famous for changing her hair color (and style) quite frequently, but her mom, Sharon Osbourne? Well, she’s been working the same mahogany hue for the last 18 years of her career. For this reason, it came as a major surprise when the 67-year-old talk show host debuted a white hair makeover this […]

Each year we give you all (our lovely readers) the opportunity to vote for your favorite products over the last year. Well, the time has come and the nominated products for our annual Readers’ Choice Awards are live. This year, you can pick your favorite products in seven different categories, including Clean and Splurge. But […]

While on a video shoot with makeup artist Colby Smith recently, he mentioned an undereye concealer trick that I’ve never heard of in my 28 years of life. Are you ready for it? He reaches for two different shades for a more natural-looking effect. That may not make sense now, but in a second, I […]

“People bring in these gorgeous photos from Architectural Digest and Apartment Therapy that have gigantic fiddle leaf figs in them, and they might not be able to afford the apartment, but they can buy the plant. I know from either the setting of the room or the windows in those photos that those fiddles, which […]

Justin and Hailey Bieber‘s wedding vows might as well have said “in sickness, in health, clean-shaven, and with facial hair you can’t stand.” The singer has spent the first few weeks of 2020 growing out a mustache and documenting it on Instagram as it grew from peach fuzz to a caterpillar to a life-force with […]

It’s February in New York City and, like many of us living here in the winter, I’m trying to get the hell out. It’s the season of cold, dry air, dry skin, and thick layers that make you sweat when you’re in the subway. It’s neither fun nor cute. So when American Express and Delta […]

We’ve always just assumed that French actor Marion Cotillard smells like Chanel No. 5, but as of this weekend, the fashion house has confirmed it. The Le Vie en Rose and A Very Long Engagement actor will serve as the iconic scent’s next ambassador. Chanel announced the news with a beautiful black and white portrait […]

In November 2019, a woman in Pennsylvania became the second American to give birth after receiving a uterus transplant from a deceased donor. Uterine transplantation, a procedure for a person who doesn’t have a uterus but wants to get pregnant, is relatively new to medicine. So far, there have been around 80 uterine transplants resulting […]

In high school, the majority of my experience with makeup came down to my yearly trip to the Clinique counter at the mall. Always scheduled just before a school dance, these appointments were the only time I bought makeup and the only time I felt like I was around someone who really knew what they […]

Makeup: The firecracker lids at Pyer Moss, whimsical pastel sparkle at Marc Jacobs, and disco shimmer at House of Holland helped set the stage for Flowers’ extravagant cobalt embellished eyes. All prove more is more, and you might as well commit to the Pantone Color of the Year, Classic Blue, while doing so. For Gabrielle’s […]

Kacey Musgraves will be the first person to admit that her tastes in beauty lean toward over-the-top. As she puts it, that comes from her Southern roots; Musgraves grew up in small-town East Texas, where beauty-queen aesthetics reign supreme, including big lips, big hair, and even bigger lashes. You don’t have to look closely to see […]

And, believe it or not, some dish-washing liquids can do the trick, too. Makeup artists like Camara Aunique, Allan Avendaño, and Dominique Lerma all look to the gentle soaps they use on their plates and silverware for their brushes, with Lerma specifically recommending Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day Dish Soap. What’s the right way to clean […]

Let’s be honest: The world of skin care is vast and constantly evolving, and trying to keep up with the latest trends can get exhausting (reaches for caffeine-infused eye cream). What was once just the second step of a simple three-step skin-care routine has changed names and changed forms over the last hundred years or […]

When I think of the OGX, the first thing that comes to mind is hair products. I’ve been a fan of the brand’s Extra Strength Argan Oil of Morroco collection for a long time — especially the shampoo and conditioner, which rely on argan oil (obviously) and silk amino acids for a super-softening and repairing […]

Oracle decks are a tool of self-reflection to add to your magical and spiritual practice, or just to use for fun. And while oracle cards can offer insight similar to tarot cards, there are some major differences. Most tarot decks are based on the Rider-Waite deck, the OG of tarot cards. They likely have 78 […]

I was born with a hole in the roof of my mouth. When I tell people about my cleft palate, they look at my now flawless grin with awe and say, “Wow, I would have never known.” I laugh politely every time and flash my four veneers, two implants, and mouth full of scars. Perhaps […]

Earlier this year, I stepped out of the glossy elevators of a glossier hotel onto the even-glossier floor of a full-service salon, 14 floors above the glossiest city in the United States, in search of a simple manicure that would get me through a few days’ worth of work events. What I found instead was […]

The sexiest sound in the world? The faint, fuzzy friction of Robert Pattinson‘s facial hair as it brushes the receiver on the other end of the line. The second sexiest: his thoughts on beauty. Allure: A lot of your film roles can be described as canonically handsome men. What’s it like to be superlatively hot? […]

We’re only halfway through February, but we’re already pumped for fall beauty trends, thanks to what we saw at New York Fashion Week. Jeweled long nails, moody, vampiric lip colors, and geometric hair — this fall is set to be one of the boldest beauty seasons in history. And luckily, the trends just keep on […]

We’re only halfway through February and Demi Lovato has already had a banner year. After going dark on Instagram in early December, she returned to the spotlight at the Grammy Awards for a moving performance of her new song, “Anyone,” and then she welcomed the world to the Super Bowl with the national anthem. For […]

Actor, new mom, entrepreneur, and now face of a new perfume campaign from a legendary brand — Shay Mitchell can truly do it all. The Pretty Little Liars and Dollface actor has been tapped as the star of Cacharel’s new Yes I Am perfume collection. Mitchell fronts the campaign for the line’s latest installment, Yes […]

Only a day after Kylie Jenner declared that hairstylist Jesus Guerrero “cut off all my hair,” revealing in a series in her Instagram Stories a choppy bob that may very well be her shortest style ever, it seems the makeup mogul is already moving on. On Friday, February 14, she treated her followers to few […]

That’s not “I can’t live without you” romantic, that’s controlling. And honestly, in a healthy relationship, it shouldn’t be that you couldn’t live without each other — it should be that you prefer not to. 7. They use gaslighting tactics to manipulate you into doubting your experiences. Gaslighting is a form of emotional abuse in […]

Here’s a little pearl of wisdom: Jewelry always looks about 10 times as chic when it’s woven through the hair. And when that jewelry is a few strands of what could be a family heirloom, the look is both an homage to the past and an irreverent wink at it. For Khaite’s spring 2020 show, […]

Whether you grow up in Southern California as Phillip Lim did, Nepal like Prabal Gurung, or Connecticut à la Allure editor in chief Michelle Lee, feeling “other” is a uniquely shared experience. In a new episode of the Allure Podcast, the two designers chat with Lee about finding a community within the beauty and fashion […]

I’m a true believer that the right lipstick can totally change your look. I could be completely bare-faced, but adding a few swipes of red makes me look instantly done-up. Right now, my go-to power lip is the Giorgio Armani Rouge D’Armani Matte in 400. I find myself reaching for this tube at least once […]

We can’t help but feel like Goldilocks when it comes to picking a new fragrance. One might be too fruity. One might not be musky enough. One might have an overwhelming mix of notes you’ve never heard before. But in the end, there is always one that will fit you just right. In fact, that […]

If you’ve been paying attention to the many headlines about genital powder and ovarian cancer over the past few years, you know that there are many ongoing and contentious legal battles currently taking place across the country. But a new study published in JAMA is shedding light on the potential risks — or lack thereof […]

Kylie Jenner‘s hair has been waist-length, bobbed, and bedazzled, but it’s never been quite as short as it is now. On Thursday, February 13, Jenner took to her Instagram Stories to show off her latest hair change. This time, it wasn’t a blunt lob or sleek hair extensions; instead, it was a middle-parted bob that […]

Well, folks, we made it: President’s Day sales 2020 are officially here, and lucky for all the beauty buffs out there — ourselves included — there’s a laundry list of amazing deals and discounts to take advantage of this year. Not only are e-commerce giants like Ulta and Dermstore offering awesome steals (thanks, guys!) but […]

I’ll never be ashamed to say I have a three-tier rolling caddy dedicated almost exclusively to hair products next to my bed. I would probably have one even if I wasn’t a beauty editor. But since that’s officially my job title, I’m using it as my excuse for it always brimming with brand-new products for […]

We may still be in the dead of winter, but beauty Instagrammers are prepping for spring with colorful, dreamy, cloud-inspired makeup looks. The last time we saw makeup clouds go viral, the mini hand-painted skies were drawn in the crease of the eye to create an ethereal version of a cut crease. Blame it on […]

She continued, “I care enough about your evolution to not answer those questions because it’s like popping a zit that you know isn’t going to pop. It’ll just leave a fucking scar; it’s not a good thing to do. You can’t know what someone is feeling until they tell you, and when they tell you, […]

When it comes to highly coveted makeup drops, nothing tugs at the heartstrings of beauty lovers quite like a shiny new eye shadow palette. Aesthetically, they’re a feast for the eyes, visually and literally, but one could even go so far as to call them pragmatic. (Don’t @ me — they’re travel-friendly and take up […]

Love is in the air — and this Valentine’s Day, we’re celebrating with tributes to the products we can’t live without. In our new series, aptly named Love Letters, editors offer unabashed affection to their most-beloved fragrances, makeup, hair products, and more. Dear EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46, You were my first. The first […]

It’s not every day that we do a double-take while scrolling through Instagram, but we couldn’t help it when we came across Cătălina Hotin’s makeup looks on our feed, as they’re truly next-level works of art. What makes her creations so unique is the fact that most of them have an undeniable 3D quality to […]

Simple and subtle, the brows were the only focus of the Michael Kors makeup look this New York Fashion Week — and for good reason. “We want to maintain what’s individually beautiful about the girls and the boys,” lead makeup artist Dick Page said backstage. And to do that, Page didn’t seek to create any […]

Much like the Rockettes and ballerinas, burlesque dancers put tons of time and effort into getting ready for their performances. Take Angie Pontani, for instance: She’s a dancer who’s been in the business since 1995 and she tells Allure that to this day, she still gives herself a cool three to four hours to get […]

Pink hair, don’t care. Rose-gold hair has been trending for a while, and we couldn’t be more pleased. The shimmering fusion of blonde and pink hues is becoming the beauty statement of choice for hip folks of all stripes, famous and otherwise. The best part? There are so many different ways to get the look […]

There was no shortage of amazing nail art in 2019, and if the first week of 2020 has been any indication, we can expect to see lots of inspiring designs this year, too. Already, megastars like Kylie Jenner, Jennifer Lopez, and Margot Robbie (to name a few), have stepped out with manicures worth copying, and […]

Let’s just get one thing straight: Every month is Black History Month. Black innovators, artists, businesspeople, and regular folk alike have all contributed so much to our society, locally and worldwide. We see the global influence of Black culture in so many different mediums, including beauty. Makes sense considering Black people, and in the case […]

If Betty Cooper of Riverdale is a demure baby-pink lipstick, then her real-life counterpart Lili Reinhart must be a neutral eye shadow with a glittering finish: practical and down to earth, but not without its dazzling qualities — and widely beloved. The Allure cover star might be young at just 23 years old, but her […]

Dear Gisou Propolis Infused Polishing Primer, I’ll be the first to admit I […]

Amber Rose is certainly no stranger to tattoos (in fact, she has them all over her arms and back), but her latest ink session was a particularly special one, as she had her sons’ names tatted — onto her face, no less. The 36-year-old first showed off her fresh face ink this week in a […]

According to nail artists, nail art and nails, in general, are just going to get more popular as time goes on. With so many colors and so many launches, how do you pick “the one?” To give you a hand, here is every nail polish and collection that has launched in 2020 so far.

Whether it’s in the form of a sleek pair of boots, a chunky belt, or a statement bag — maybe even all three — there’s a good chance crocodile print is a notable part of your wardrobe. And for a growing number of people on Instagram, it’s a staple in their nail-art roster, too. If […]

Selena Gomez has been all about experimenting with fun new hairstyles this year (hello, ’60s hair flip), but her latest look has gotta be one of our favorites. The Rare singer-songwriter is now working a curly long bob with bangs and major texture, and it’s unlike any hairstyle we’ve seen on the former Disney darling […]

Kim Kardashian West just changed her hair again, folks. That nearly-noir brunette hair color she was seen with just this past weekend at the 2020 Oscars? Yeah, it’s gone. Now, the 39-year-old KKW Beauty founder has what might just be the hottest new hair color of the season: bronde — and she beat her sisters […]

Each month, Allure editors break down the latest and greatest skin-care launches. Looking for more in skin-care? Here are some of the best new products. Skin care can be intimidating — there are so many products out there. And with such a wide range of options come a lot of questions. Is this serum really […]

To say Lili Reinhart has done a lot in the last year is putting it lightly. The 23-year-old wunderkind walked countless red carpets, wrapped her third season of Riverdale, was featured in the hit film Hustlers alongside a star-studded cast, and became CoverGirl’s newest beauty ambassador. To top it all off, she penned a poetry […]

There are a million moments in Black history that have influenced our culture. If we’re talking about Black beauty moments, well, there might just be a million and one. From West Africa in 3500 BC to Hollywood today, the aesthetic of Black women and femmes has been a centuries-long masterclass in innovation and evolution, and […]

Dear Mielle Organics Pomegranate & Honey Leave-In Conditioner, Back in 2014, oversaturating your […]

Winter takes a toll on your skin — that much is obvious. Less apparent is its impact on your hands, specifically, and why the colder months have coincided with the skin around your fingers and palms starting to peel. If you’ve found zero relief from slipping your hands into a pair of fleece-lined gloves and […]

You don’t have to have an S.O. to grace your face with heart makeup for Valentine’s Day this year. No matter what your plans are for February 14, you can take inspiration from Instagram. Makeup artists like Lauren Elyse and Jkissa have posted some major inspo on their feeds, and I couldn’t ignore the overwhelmingly […]

As beauty editors, we’re extremely fortunate that we have access to pretty much any product, device, or service for free. But our goal in testing thousands of masks, pomades, and powders each year has always been to help you avoid the pitfalls that can come with so many choices. If I were in a different […]

In our new series, aptly named Love Letters, editors offer unabashed affection to their most-beloved fragrances, makeup, hair products, and more. Dear my Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes, The sun is rising and I just […]

This Black History Month, one TikToker is using her following (and her makeup skills) for good. Ariam, better known as @iambrattyb on TikTok, is spending the entire month of February educating her 42 thousand followers about Black historical figures and Black beauty trends from the past. She spends each 45-second video transforming herself into a […]

Of all the beauty looks at the 2020 Oscars, one, in particular, took us by surprise. Screen legend Jane Fonda, who’s just as known for her icy blonde hair as she is for her activism, stepped onto the Academy Awards stage with a full head of gorgeous gray hair. Fonda presented the award for Best […]

The image of a needle piercing through someone’s body is already pretty grotesque. The sensation of having a needle pierce through your own body isn’t a fun one, either. Multiply that by three and you’ve got one of the most satisfying-yet-terrifying Instagram posts we’ve ever seen. In a recent video, Adrian Castillo, a piercer based […]

There are two days in a weekend, and as Khloé Kardashian will tell you, that means two opportunities for new hairstyles. Kardashian livened up a February weekend by changing her hairstyle not once but twice. On Saturday, February 8, the reality star feted BFF Malika Haqq and her baby-to-be in a bronde bob. Colorist Andrew […]

When Lucy Boynton walked the red carpet at the 2020 Golden Globes, most people were breath taken by her extremely shiny silver dress or her bold, jewel-encrusted makeup — but my eyes immediately drifted toward her hands, tossed over Rami Malek’s shoulders. Her metallic gunmetal manicure had me racing to my giant stash of nail […]

Love is in the air — and this Valentine’s Day, we’re celebrating with tributes to the products we can’t live without. In our new series, aptly named Love Letters, editors offer unabashed affection to their most-beloved fragrances, makeup, hair products, and more.

In our new series, aptly named Love Letters, editors offer unabashed affection to their most-beloved fragrances, makeup, hair products, and more. Dear Batiste Dry Shampoo, Falling in love can feel like different things for […]

We really used to believe as a whole that a higher-priced beauty product was inherently higher quality than one sold in a drugstore. Obviously, that simply isn’t true anymore. In fact, it seems rather silly on society’s part. We didn’t really need any more convincing on that front, but the 2020 Oscars ceremony proved that […]

The only thing that can rival the Academy Awards is the Vanity Fair Oscars Party. An invite to the best party during award season is more coveted than an eyeliner that never runs. Catering from In-N-Out, fun photo booth sessions, and dancing with the likes of Billie Eilish and Saoirse Ronan — seriously, who wouldn’t […]

As nervous as the 2020 Acamedy Awards nominees must be about whether or not they’ll take home Hollywood’s most-coveted honor, we can only image how nervous their glam teams are as they create the hair and makeup looks that will be talked about for days and remembered for decades. Even if they’re not nominated, guests […]

There may not have been a wealth of Black nominees at the 92nd Academy Awards, but there were at least two Black winners. Karen Rupert Toliver and Matthew Cherry just won the Oscar for Best Animated Short for Hair Love, which tells the story of a father learning to do his daughter’s gorgeous Afro-textured hair […]

There are few nights more glamorous and more celebrity-filled than the Academy Awards. As the last award show of the season, the Oscars red carpet is the place to be seen. Historically, we’ve been given iconic beauty looks that we’ll never forget and will continue to emulate over and over (think Audrey Hepburn’s short pixie, […]

Since Charlize Theron started growing out her iconic bowl haircut, she’s had a pretty consistent roster of hairstyles. Her icy blonde hair that barely falls to the nape of her neck is often swept to the side in a deep part, but that doesn’t make it any less exciting every time she appears at an […]

If it seems like the pearls in Lucy Boynton‘s hair at the 2020 Oscars were copied straight from a Coco Chanel look, that’s because they were. “[The] inspiration was Coco Chanel herself — French chic meets young Hollywood,” says Jenny Cho, the stylist behind Boynton’s red-carpet hair. The products she used to pull off the […]

It’s peak award season, and Sunday night was all about the 92nd Academy Awards. We saw stars like Billy Porter, Regina King, and Billie Eilish walk the red carpet wearing some stunning beauty looks, and now, Natalie Portman has graced us with a hair trend that we just can’t get away from — but why […]

Bangs are probably not what you picture when you think about Saoirse Ronan, but that’s about to change entirely. The Little Women actor appeared at the 2020 Oscars with short and wispy front-facing bangs, which is a brand-new look for her — and it’s one we applaud. The fresh style comes courtesy of Adir Abergel, […]

Actor Rebel Wilson, who attended the Oscars for her role in the six-time nominated Jojo Rabbit, looked like a picture of old-Hollywood glamour at the Oscars in her gold-sequined, custom-made Jason Wu gown. But the show’s commentators couldn’t stop talking about her weight. When Wilson emerged on the red carpet, E! host Zanna Rossi commented […]

There is only one way to do a proper smoky eye. At least, according to Oscar nominee Cynthia Erivo‘s makeup artist Terrell Mullin. Apparently, the surprising secret is using a brown shadow to create your smoldering stare instead of a black shadow, and given the results she got for Erivo, we’re inclined to believe she’s […]

When most of us want to show off a drastic hair change to the world, we take a selfie, put it on social media, and impatiently wait for the likes and comments to start rolling in. But when Olivia Colman wants to show off a brand-new look, she simply puts on a designer gown and […]

If you’re at the Oscars tonight, whatever you do, don’t touch Kelly Ripa. No, it’s not because she has a cold. And it’s not because she plain ol’ doesn’t want to be touched. You see, Ripa simply can’t be touched tonight, and it’s because of her commitment to a beauty moment. The TV host hit […]

Most know Regina King for her outstanding performances in popular movies like A Cinderella Story and, of course, the classic Boyz n the Hood. But at the 92nd Academy Awards aka the Oscars, get ready for King, the beauty icon, because she is turning heads on the red carpet Sunday night with her entire look. […]

Singer and four-time Grammy winner Billie Eilish was one of the attendees to watch on this year’s Oscars red carpet — and she did not disappoint. The 18-year-old arrived at the 92nd Academy Awards (her first-ever Oscars) with her dyed neon green and black hair in a loose updo, held up by a Chanel hair […]

Watching celebrities show up for the red carpet at the Oscars is at least half as important as the big show itself — especially when stars get dressed with meaning. In the past, for award shows, we’ve seen stars choose outfits with intention to speak up for a cause, to show love for an organization, […]

Pose star Billy Porter spares no expense when it comes to his thrilling red-carpet style. And his look at the 2020 Oscars, complete with gilded feathers just like his 2019 Met Gala bodysuit, falls right in line with the actor’s eccentric tastes. While his Giles Deacon gown conjures up images of Phoenixes and other fairytale […]

If you look forward to seeing the best beauty looks of the Academy Awards just as much as — or even more than — the announcements of the winners, we can relate. The Allure team lives for the moments when celebrities first step on the red carpet to reveal how they’ve decided to wear their […]

Khloé Kardashian has been a blonde bombshell for so long, we have have to dig way back into our mental archives to remember when the reality-TV star and entrepreneur wore a color closer to her natural brunette shade. But it’s clear she’s been thinking a lot about breaking up with blondeness lately, posting throwbacks on […]

As someone who has run around the city from runway show to runway show covering the backstage scene at New York Fashion Week, I can tell you firsthand, it takes a toll on the body — especially during the February shows, when sore muscles and aching feet are exacerbated by the bite of cold temperatures. […]

It’s only February and there have already been so many magical manicure trends started in 2020. Galaxy nails made with magnetic nail polish have us wishing on stars right at our fingertips, while “Oyster shell” nails that look like they’re coated in mother-of-pearl are one of several takes on the iridescent manicures we’ve been obsessed […]

At this point, Instagram users have to know that coming for Chrissy Teigen in the comments is not going to end well for them. Unfortunately, there are still fans out there who haven’t received the memo. Either that or they’re hoping to be called out by the supermodel, which isn’t a good look. On February […]

Pneumonia, a lung infection that can occur on its own or as a result of infections like influenza, is one of the most common reasons people end up in the hospital. Every year, about one million adults seek medical care due to pneumonia — it’s the most common cause of hospital admissions among adults other […]

Ever since Megan Rapinoe sprinted into our hearts last summer, we’ve kept one eye on the soccer star’s evolving hair color. She’s gone dark brown, platinum blonde, and, most memorably, pinkish-purple. Now, thanks to a New Year’s refresh from stylist Riawna Capri, she’s mixed up her beloved hue with shades of electric blue. The new […]

Unfortunately, even when the plaques are visibly in remission, they’re lying dormant and could appear at any moment. This is why psoriasis is a chronic disorder and for many people (including Kim Kardashian), keeping flare-ups at bay can be a lifelong battle. Under the overarching psoriasis umbrella, there are also many different types of the […]

This type of cancer is incredibly hard to spot, which explains why it’s so deadly. “Merkel cell can be tricky to diagnose because it doesn’t always present the same way; it can look like a cyst or just a little red bump and it can occur anywhere on the body,” says Day. “This is one […]

Trichotillomania (TTM or trich for short) is an impulse control disorder, which involves the recurrent and insatiable desire to pull out one’s own hair. For me, it manifests as a need to pull out my eyebrows with a lesser desire to pull out my eyelashes and body hair. It gets worse when I’m depressed and […]

5. Genital warts Of the more than 150 strains of HPV, about 40 occur below the belt, according to NYU Langone Health. Two strains in particular — number 6 and number 11 — cause about 90 percent of genital warts. “You can find these benign warts in the vagina, the cervix, around the vulva, and […]

Let’s be real: We can always count on New York Fashion Week_ to bring on a strong nail game. As seen from previous seasons, NYFW cranks out the best trendsetting manicures and nail-art ideas that just become simply iconic. We saw the rebirth of the French manicure at Alice and Olivia, Prabal Gurung, and Christian […]
