Instead, skin tints boast supremely lightweight, nongreasy textures, sheer yet buildable coverage, and natural or slightly radiant finishes. To achieve this, most formulas feature nourishing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, squalane, and niacinamide. Another bonus? Added SPF. While a skin tint with SPF shouldn't necessarily replace a standalone sunscreen (unless you’re applying the required ¼-teaspoon amount), we…

That said, her attendance at the Acne Studios show during Paris Fashion Week—the way she wore her famously fiery hair—suggests she may adhere to a few select of-the-moment aesthetics after all. Roan was front row for the fall/winter presentation, looking more than ready to walk the runway herself in a boned, lacy, gray, high-neck dress. But instead of her long, curly, auburn hair…

Eyelash mites! Scalp acne!). This time, the unpleasant news came from the mouth of New York City-based board-certified dermatologist Melissa Levin, MD. When beauty director Sarah Kinonen spoke with her recently for a Q and A in Allure’s Skin Check newsletter, she asked what people over 50 most often misunderstand about skin health. Dr. Levin didn’t hesitate in her response: The majority of us assume that we age…

Or shall we say, the most golden twist? Smith, a Dior Beauty ambassador, is one of our favorite front-row attendees, so we were on high alert for her at the fall/winter 2026/2027 show. And as always, her glam details did not disappoint. The musician brought a little Y2K-futuristic energy to Dior with her makeup, most notably that unmistakable frosty, pearly texture so popular in the late…

Briana RegifoSave StorySave this storySave StorySave this story On a recent Wednesday morning in the Allure group chat, an editor shared that she had had a couple of styes on her eyelids recently, and when she wondered aloud to a friend what the culprit could be, that friend replied coolly: “Maybe you have mites.” This was not welcome news. And also perhaps not really a thing? (This friend was not an ophthalmologist of any kind.) Fifteen minutes—and many concerned responses—later, we were reporting this story. Turns out, eye mites—referred to as Demodex mites by ophthalmologists—are really a thing, and they…

Quite the opposite, actually, especially during her visit to Paris Fashion Week! The Grammy-winning musician has only been in Paris for a few days and she's changed up her hairstyle in the most incredible ways, aided by hairstylist Lacy Redway. At Acne, she channeled the internet-driven “weird art school girl” vibe with a faux bob. At Rick Owens, an architectural ponytail. And at Mugler, Roan took us back in…

The Hot Girl Coach has been cast as Zidler in the Broadway adaptation of the beloved movie musical, and she's making her mark on the Al Hirschfield Theatre in a very on-theme red bob that we'd describe as “spectacular, spectacular!” (That song doesn't appear in the Broadway show, but the sentiment remains nonetheless.) Megan is officially in rehearsal mode for the role of the Moulin Rouge's welcoming host, and she's sharing some of the action from her…

But the right formula can actually do the opposite—bringing dimension and a healthy glow back to skin that may look a little flat after a layer of foundation and concealer. “When you even out your skin tone with foundation or a tinted moisturizer, you naturally soften definition in the process,” says Tonya Riner, a makeup artist based in Houston. “Bronzer is the perfect…

But with so many shapes, materials, and grit levels (a.k.a. how coarse the file is) on the market, it can be tricky to decide which file is right for your nails. It also depends on your preferred type of manicure (natural, gel, acrylic, or press-on), according to New York City-based nail artist Miss Pop. As you shop, understanding grit is key: the…
