Frequently asked questionsMakeup tricks & tips for older eyesA few adjustments to your usual application technique can help eyeshadow look smoother on mature lids. There are simple hacks like pressing shimmer on the highest part of the brow arch to give a subtle lifting look to the eyes. Other techniques during application make a difference, like tapping off excess powder from the brush or lightly swirling your brush on your hand to evenly distribute shadow on the bristles before applying.Investing in tools can also up the ante for your makeup tool kit—a good magnifying mirror for placement, a brush dedicated…

The secret to that enviable glowing complexion might not be as elusive as you might think. Brightening dull-looking skin really only requires figuring out what is causing it and making a few tweaks in your skin routine (and maybe a visit to your favorite esthetician for a peel or laser, but more on that later).Dull skin isn’t inherently bad or dangerous, but no one wants to look dry and tired. So whether you want ultimate shine with that glass skin look or just a natural-looking boost in radiance, consider this your ultimate guide to brightening dull skin.What causes dull skin?Many…

In the grand history of horror, however, more traditionally spooky figures have stood out. One of the most iconic on-screen serial killers to date is Scream’s Ghostface. When the Wes Craven franchise first came out in 1996, costume designer Cynthia Bergstrom was tasked with coming up with the original costume. She drew inspiration from the classic Edvard Munch painting Scream—though at one point, she toyed with the idea of an all-white getup. “We put a friend of mine in the white costume, and he basically looked like a giant Casper the Ghost,” said Bergstrom. The more nondescript black cloak they…

I’m an evangelist of what I’ll call “obvious gifting.” While every TikTok gift guide would have you believe that the only gifts worth giving are incredibly niche, I’ve been running in the opposite direction: Often, the right present is the one that’s a little on the nose. Cushy sweaters, fancy chocolate, nice headphones—all of the obvious stuff, deployed correctly, works perfectly.The best example, though, might just be jewelry. After all, who can resist the appeal of sparkly diamond earrings or an engraved ring or an iced-out tennis bracelet? Sure, you’re not reinventing the wheel. But there’s no reason to force…

Liz Phair has long admired Sleater-Kinney from afar. Phair remembers listening to Carrie Brownstein and Corin Tucker’s self-titled debut—dropped two years after her own, the genre-defining Exile in Guyville in 1993—while pregnant with her son, and was struck by how they’d crafted such catchy hooks in songs so raw and textured.“When I heard Sleater-Kinney for the first time, it felt like they were speaking a musical language that I completely understood,” Phair tells Vogue. “Corin and Carrie are both total rock stars and I’ve always held them in such high regard.”When Phair was planning her fall tour earlier this year,…

Rather than lemons into lemonade, Hannah Chody spent much of the past three years turning Golden Peach into Bellini. This month, the creator with over 387,000 followers made headlines—and smashed sales rankings—after creating Bellini, a shimmery rose-gold eye shadow made in collaboration with Saie that’s based on a discontinued Tom Ford Beauty hue called Golden Peach.There’s clearly an opportunity here for brands and creators alike. Bellini launched on October 15 as a permanent addition to Saie’s SuperSuede Baked Eyeshadows collection and was an immediate hit. It sold out in just a few hours, according to the Business of Fashion, and…

Chesky also addressed the crowd. “People thought this idea was crazy—they literally said strangers are never going to stay in other strangers’ homes, and I said yes, they will, Mom,” he shared, drawing laughter from the crowd. “This idea that people thought was crazy completely took off and has grown into a community of guests and hosts all over the world.”In 2012, an Airbnb host named Shell took the concept a step further, opening her home to people displaced by Hurricane Sandy. “This wasn’t our idea, this is an idea that came from the community, and that was the beginning…

It’s no secret that the waistline on our jeans has been dipping lower and lower, which means we have to learn how to style jeans differently depending on the rise. At the most recent spring-summer 2027 runway shows, I saw more low-rise silhouettes on skirts and pants than I’ve seen in a long time, so it’s confirmed: The high-rise denims that dominated the streets need to make room for their mid- and low-rise sisters. As a fashion editor, I’ve sat in rooms where fellow writers and editors either embraced the Y2K-styled low-slung pants or vehemently rejected them. But I happen…

It tracks that Winona Ryder, every goth girl’s ’90s style icon, would be born just two days before Halloween. From Heathers to Edward Scissorhands, Bram Stoker’s Dracula to The Age of Innocence and Stranger Things, the off-kilter and other-worldly characters she’s played onscreen seem totally in tune with her off-duty penchant for black slip dresses, white lace, and a bright red lip.But before she became the poster girl for her era (earning two Oscar nominations in the process), Ryder was a child star who started acting lessons at 12 and made her screen debut at 14, in the high-school drama…

While clothes and bags are often buzzed about during Fashion Week, so very often it’s the shoes that steal the show. That same ethos courses through the world of street style, where statement footwear can often attract the lenses of enterprising photogs. This season we saw the continuation of flat-soled styles (think ballerinas, jazz shoes, and Vans’ timeless slip-ons) which helped our sharply-dressed street stylers navigate Europe’s cobblestoned streets with aplomb (though Vogue Australia editor-in-chief Christine Centenera says she can handle any type of road in a heel). In New York, kitten-heeled thongs and Marni’s lace-up slingbacks were de rigeur.…
