You may not be able to drink or chew your way to firmer, bouncier skin with collagen supplements, but the best collagen creams might take your skin in the right direction. Our skin's natural production of collagen, the structural protein that gives skin its firmness and elasticity, starts slowing down in our mid-twenties, leading to sagging,…

They don’t just rinse away dirt and sweat—they also leave your skin feeling soft, hydrated, and nourished before you’ve even reached for moisturizer. The right formula transforms your shower into more than just a rinse-off routine: It’s a two-in-one moment of cleansing and care. These aren’t your…

Getty ImagesSave StorySave this storySave StorySave this story Remember the chunky highlights era, when any time you got highlights, they were basically guaranteed to be at least an inch wide? It started with stars like Kelly Clarkson in the early 2000s and evolved into the stripey scene looks of the Myspace era, incorporating every color of the rainbow interspersed with black or dark burgundy. In hindsight, it was a really fun time for hair experimentation, and Cardi B's latest color combo brought me right back to that expressive, colorful chapter. Cardi, who is getting ready for the release of her…

Some shine, some shimmer, and some even tingle, but one thing all the best tinted lip balms do is provide equal parts moisture and color. Sure, there are some days when we want ultra-pigmented, matte color, but other days, especially during chillier months, we lean on a barely-there lip balm with a hint of sheen. But don’t fret—tinted lip balm…

And that's exactly what Katie Holmes delivered when she attended Veronica Beard's Icons Party in New York City last night. Her look felt very grown-up schoolgirl. No, not in that way. In the effortlessly sophisticated way we've come to expect from the actor and director. Holmes was spotted at the West Village's…

When you think of the best Aveda products, chances are their iconic shampoos and conditioners come to mind first. If you’ve ever stepped into one of the brand’s salons, you already know the signature experience: that calming hit of rosemary mint and lavender in the air, rows of plant-powered products on display, and that balance of performance and pampering that…

Alyssa LatellaSave StorySave this storySave StorySave this story This season, we’ve pulled together the ultimate olfactory mood board: the 2025 Limited-Edition Fragrance Edit, a $351 value for only $79 (for Allure Beauty Box members) or $189 (if you’re not a member). Whatever feeling you want to conjure, there’s a scent for it. Like sparkling citrus that feels like late-summer light, warm vanilla and orchard tones for autumn’s cozy neutrals, and playful gourmand notes that give glossy, indulgent energy. Then come the florals—lush, romantic, full of whimsy—before the icons land with striking confidence, like the bold centerpiece of the board. It’s…

The best tubing mascaras will put your mind at ease with their steadfast, smear-proof formulations. Unlike traditional mascaras that can transfer, smudge, and flake, all while requiring a tug-of-war during removal, “tubing mascaras are known for their excellent long-wear and ability to resist flaking and smudging that can occur due to oily sebum on the…

Maybe it's because I was an ‘80s kid, but there’s just something about hot pink nail polish that, in my mind, exists in an exclusive Venn diagram of video vixens, aspiring real-life Barbies, and gaudy grandmothers (like my late, perpetually bedazzled Grandma Bea). I have never once felt like myself when I've worn it, and you really don't see it on too many celebrities, perhaps…

Hear us out: The best at-home lash extensions can easily replace those hours-long appointments at the salon. Unlike the false lashes you rocked back in high school, these stick around—some last up to two weeks, with proper care. How? Magnetic magic—i.e., a liquid liner that the lashes literally snap onto, or a super-strong glue. And most are lightweight, which not only feels more comfortable…
