Thank you for your support and for being part of our beauty-loving family. When my daughter Zoe turned six weeks old, she saw her grandparents through a plexiglass storm door. They gave us a quick wave, and I could hear my dad’s muffled voice: “Wow, she’s gotten so big.” I texted them that evening to say it was so good to see them. My dad replied, “It was a nice moment, even though for a minute.” Luckily my parents had gotten a chance to hold the baby…

Want to spice up your look for your next Zoom happy hour? Do as follows: Using a comb, part your hair down the middle. Brush one section upward and outward, and secure with an elastic at the top. Twirl it into a knot but leave out the ends, creating a space bun. (Note: Imperfection is encouraged.) Repeat on the other side, then blanket your hair in texturizing spray or hairspray. Amazing news—you are now wearing the look hairstylist Sam McKnight crafted for Fendi’s spring 2020 show. It’s optional, but you are also welcome to frost your lower lash line with silver glitter, to give the impression you have been crying diamonds. Cheer up: You’re wearing Fendi!…

1. Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40. If it weren’t for the dewy, transparent coverage, we might mistake this blend of squalane, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide for an actual serum. It’s that hydrating. 2. Gucci Poudre de Beauté Éclat Soleil. Our first thought upon seeing this bronzer? It’s too pretty to use. Our second (after brushing on the silky powder): I’m going to wear this. All. Summer. Long. (Available in July.) 3. Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protector Lotion SPF 50+. This sunscreen is so light and so sheer, we’ve been happily slathering it on from head to toe for every socially distanced stroll. 4. Ellis Brooklyn Salt Eau de Parfum. Like the aftermath of a happy cry, this scent begins with a salty bite, then quickly settles into something warm…

“Glass skin”—which is Insta-speak for a luminous, poreless, dewy look—is the inspiration behind Peach & Lily Glass Skin Refining Serum. It’s a lightweight gel that I pat onto my skin at night; hyaluronic acid hydrates, niacinamide brightens, and madecassoside (an extract from the cica plant, a K-beauty staple) soothes skin, says cosmetic chemist Ginger King. After a few days, my dry skin was moisturized and balanced—and although poreless would be a stretch, my complexion did gleam brighter than ever.…

14 billion Cumulative times per day, approximately, Americans check their smartphones, according to research conducted by Deloitte. From another study: The average person swipes, taps, or otherwise touches their device 2,617 times a day. 62 million Approximate number of downloads of video-conferencing apps like Zoom and Microsoft Teams during a single week in March in response to social-distancing protocols. 60 Minutes before bed you should stop using electronic devices, according to the National Sleep Foundation. The blue light emitted by screens has been shown to suppress the release of melatonin, a hormone that helps regulate the sleep-wake cycle. 18 Years since the first recorded use of the word selfie, which, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, was on an Australian message board. 180,000 Approximate number of products, including lipsticks, shadows,…

Nails ESSIE EXPRESSIE QUICK DRY NAIL COLOR There’s no quantitative definition of quick, but in our book, a nail polish that dries—like really, truly dries—in about a minute has more than earned the adjective. To achieve this faster alternative to the traditional manicure, Stephanie Bruno, the head of global product development for Essie, and her team added quick-drying solvents to polish. They also incorporated ingredients common to base and topcoats (to save you multiple steps) and created an angled brush that we found requires just about two swipes to coat each nail. If you’ve got a couple of minutes to spare, manicurist Casey Herman suggests buffing your nails beforehand and finishing with a shiny topcoat for the smoothest, shiniest manicure. But for anyone who’s in a rush—so, everyone—a single coat…

1 THE MANICURE Nail artist BETINA GOLDSTEIN shares her secrets for making home manicures as indulgent as they are flawlessly executed. START FRESH. I use an oil-based polish remover—acetone is harsh and can cause nails to weaken—so my nails and cuticles won’t dry out. Karma Naturals Nail Polish Remover With Rose Oil has changed the health of my nails. CLEAN UP. Massage on a cuticle softener, like Christina Fitzgerald Radical Cuticle Exfoliator & Softener, and it’ll be easier to push your cuticles back. Use a metal or wooden cuticle pusher, and be careful not to push too hard. Then, with a nail buffer—I like Orly Gelfx Buffer—gently brush over your entire nail and cuticles. Afterward, nails should look clean and smooth. Less is more when using cuticle clippers: only nip…

Emma Chamberlain and I are sitting in our bedrooms in our pajamas, talking to virtual versions of each other on our laptops’ glowing monitors. It could be an unbridgeable distance, the only warmth emitting from my PC’s hot, breathy exhaust vents, but Chamberlain, with her gravelly voice, knees drawn up to her chin, hair hastily pulled into a bun that misses all the front pieces, makes it feel like we are the kind of friends who stay up late talking. I certainly feel that way. So do her millions of followers. It’s hard to describe who Chamberlain is and what she does. Even she can’t do it when I ask her to try: “If an Uber driver is asking me, I’ll say I’m just a college student, because I don’t…

CRAFT SERVICES “I’m always looking for more creative crafts for makeup,” says makeup artist Violette, who did her own makeup for this shoot. “I found imitation gold leaf that was tinted blue [by Kinno]—it’s incredible—and put it on top of Marc Jacobs Gel Eyeliner in Twinkle. This quarantine is a great time to have fun with makeup. Just put makeup on like no one is watching you.” Because, well, they’re not. RED HOT “What is the one thing you’re dying to try but you never dare to?” Violette suggests you do it now. “Everyone should wear red lipstick at least once in his or her life. Even if you’re only going to have a glass of wine and play a board game.” Violette’s pitch-perfect version is a color she dreamed…

She may be queen of the internet—with a Louis Vuitton contract, her own coffee business, and a billion-zillion followers—but Emma Chamberlain is very much a woman of the people. Like many of us these days, she has her own refuge: the Target website, subcategories beauty and personal care. Here are some highlights from her cart: AQUAPHOR HEALING OINTMENT ADVANCED THERAPY: “The best thing on the planet. I always have a tube on me. They’re really cute, and great for the car.

For part two of our Readers’ Choice Q&A, your favorite makeup artist answers your top questions. You guys: Is there a way to use less foundation and still get allover coverage? Tilbury: Start with several drops of foundation on the back of your hand; use a foundation brush to apply it, [starting at] the center of your face and buffing outward. If there are spots where you want more coverage, use concealer on top. You guys: How can you contour without wiping away your foundation in the process? Tilbury: Use a cream formula so it blends seamlessly with your foundation. Target your contour shade on the cheekbones, temples, forehead, and down the sides of your nose [using a contour brush]. Soften harsh lines with a buffing brush. You guys: What’s…

To truly understand the proliferation of at-home workout apps, you have to go back in time to when exercising alone was a matter of preference, not protocol. That time being January, when consumers worldwide, inspired by a slew of athletic-oriented New Year’s resolutions, spent $35.3 million on health and fitness apps in a single week, according to market analysis firm App Annie. That number rose to a record-breaking $36 million during the last full week of March, when social distancing orders became more widespread across the globe. Polly de Mille, director of performance services at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, who focuses her research on the gap between injury and peak athletic performance, sees convenience and variety as two of the most enticing reasons to try at-home…

1 FAKE IT Consider products like root-coverage sprays or gel color. “These will wash out and not have to be corrected with bleach later on,” says colorist Michael Angelo, the founder of Wonderland Beauty Parlor in New York City. He recommends Christophe Robin Temporary Color Gel to mask regrowth and even out highlights. 2 THE DARK SIDE Going darker (by adding pigment) at home is easier than going lighter (by removing pigment with bleach). “With bleach, you can leave it on too long and really damage your hair or even get a chemical burn,” says hairstylist Helen Reavey. “People end up spending two to three times more money to fix at-home hair mistakes than they would have in the salon in the first place.” 3 KEEP COOL When choosing a…
