Meghann Fahy's Minimal Beauty Routine Is Built on These 6 Iconic Items

If you're anything like us, you waited with bated breath to watch the finale of The White Lotus. You probably also couldn't stop talking about it with friends, colleagues, and even random acquaintances at the hair salon. While there are so many characters to discuss, one of our favorite ones was Daphne, the breezy hotel guest who always looks effortlessly put together under the Sicilian sun. Meghann Fahy, who played Daphne, seems similar to her character in that she has a friendly, approachable way about her and a rather effortless approach to beauty. We caught up with the actress to talk about all things skincare and makeup, including how she prevents allergies from wreaking havoc on her routine, the ins and outs of her decidedly minimalist makeup bag, and the beauty tools and devices sh...

Spicy “Sunburnt” Blush is Taking Over TikTok—14 Products You'll Need to Try It

When it comes to beauty trends, it's no secret that TikTok has risen to nearly legendary status as one of the biggest sources of inspiration for Gen-Z users. Trends come and go in record time; serving as the driving force behind digital creators, consumers, and brands. One of the most recognizable of these beauty trends (and perhaps, the trend that has remained as influential as it was when it first appeared on the platform three summers ago), is the "sunburnt" blush look consisting of sun-kissed skin and warm-toned makeup.I spoke to celebrity makeup artist Edward Cruz who's star-powered client list includes the likes of Anna Wintour, Brooke Shields, Danai Gurira, and Busy Phillips. "It's a fun look that is going strong, three summers in a row," Cruz says of the sun-soaked makeup look. "I ...

I'm a Beauty Director—See How I Would Spend $150 at Sephora, Nordstrom, and Ulta

Spring and summer are just around the corner, and with a new season also comes an insatiable itch to mix up my beauty routine and restock some of my favorite products. Anyone else? That said, once I get busy scrolling at retailers like Sephora, Nordstrom, and Ulta, there's really no stopping me, and I have to put a cap on my spending.So what would I do with $150 at Sephora, Nordstrom, and Ulta? Keep scrolling. Below, I'm sharing a mix of the beauty standbys I love, plus some new products I have my eye on. A new season always calls for a little fragrance refresh. Blackberry & Bay has been a longtime love of mine, but I especially gravitate toward it when the days are dewy, cool, and a tad overcast (basically every day in L.A. lately). The brand says the mix of blackberry, bay leaves, an...

I Tried the OG Custom Skincare Brand the Internet Goes Nuts Over

I'm a big believer in routine. I've generally been using the same five skincare products for the past few months, only changing them out when I notice something my skin needs (i.e., extra hydration, combating dark spots). As much as I love sticking to products that have worked for my skin in the past, I know that every now and then, a girl needs a switch-up. I've seen Function of Beauty products online since I can remember. The aesthetically pleasing products are often placed right where you can see them in front of the camera; maybe positioned just behind the subject of the picture or video. The brand's minimalist design, color choices, and individualized production are great, but it's what's in these lovely little bottles that matter.To place an order for customized products on Function ...

19 Holy Grail Beauty Products That You’ll Love Forever

Photo: Bianca Lambert As a kid and teenager, I spent hours in my bathroom grooming myself. Looking back, that might have seemed a little vain, but it was less about vanity and more about curiosity. I loved experimenting with new products even if the ads on television and in magazines weren't reflective of my skin and hair needs as a young Black girl. But at the time, as I absorbed all of the sto...

I've Been a Beauty Writer for Years—This Magical Primer Is the Best I've Used

Sunscreen and primers have become two of the most important parts of my beauty routine. I’ve become an ardent SPF user for obvious "protecting my skin against damage and cancer" reasons. And primer is always key for helping foundation go on smoother and look flawless—even more so when you have large pores and skin that's 40 years old like mine. I can’t stand it when my foundation seeps into my pores and settles into my lines. No, thank you. Lately, I’ve been seeing more and more products that are a combination of SPF and primer, and if I can take a step away from my routine, I’ll happily welcome it! This is why I was so excited to get my hands on Saint Jane Beauty's Luxury Sun Ritual Pore Smoothing SPF 30 ($38). Saint Jane is a brand that I’ve been a fan of since its debut in 2019. The Hyd...

If You're Tired of Filling in Your Brows (or Really Bad at It), Read This

I remember when I first discovered that filling in your brows was a thing, and embarrassingly, it was fairly recent. I've always taken a pretty lackadaisical approach to makeup, so it's not surprising I was a bit of a late bloomer in the brow department. Growing up, I was never really into makeup and tended to go the more natural route. But of course, the more I was exposed to it via friends, the internet, what have you, the more I dabbled. And when I did actually start wearing makeup (starting in middle school), let's just say everything was very… experimental. Eventually, I discovered I could fill in my brows. To paint the picture for you, this was also during a time when I was recovering from a base-bump gone wrong, so my hair was a fun shade of yellowish-orange. (I kid.) The art of fil...
