Where to Put Liquid Blush, Plus Sticks and Powders for a Lift

Where to Put Liquid Blush, Plus Sticks and Powders for a Lift

Where to put liquid blush: dot it high on the cheekbone and blend, so the color sits high and lifted. I also cover sticks to tap along the cheekbone and powders with a brush.

Card Case Wallets: Slim Card Holders, Bifolds and Chain Styles

Card Case Wallets: Slim Card Holders, Bifolds and Chain Styles

A practical guide to choosing a wallet, from slim card cases to zip and bifold styles and the small chain bags that carry your cards. I walk through pieces from Coach, Saint Laurent, Prada, Tory Burch and more, and how each one sits in a bag or a pocket.

Hair Perfume Is Fine Fragrance Rebuilt to Survive Your Hair

Hair Perfume Is Fine Fragrance Rebuilt to Survive Your Hair

Hair perfume exists because fragrance sits in hair far longer than it does on skin, so a light mist there can outlast the same spray on a wrist by hours. For years the only option was dabbing on actual perfume and hoping it survived a blowout, and now brands build formulas specifically for the strand instead

Western Style: Worn-In Denim, Suede and Fringe

Western Style: Worn-In Denim, Suede and Fringe

Western style is showing up again, but the convincing version leans on worn-in denim, suede and fringe rather than costume pieces. It is recurring now because the last decade of minimal dressing left room for a look with real texture and shape. This edit follows that material logic through tops, outerwear, denim and the smaller pieces that carry the reference.

Buxom Lip Plumper and the Plumping Glosses That Actually Tingle

Buxom Lip Plumper and the Plumping Glosses That Actually Tingle

A Buxom lip plumper is the tingly gloss that made plumping a daily habit instead of a party trick. Here it sits with the plumping glosses, oils, balms and liners I would try next, from a gentle warmth to a real kick.

The Set Edit: Matching Knit Sets and Twin Sets

The Set Edit: Matching Knit Sets and Twin Sets

Matching fine-knit sets and twin sets look considered with almost no styling. I pulled cardigan sets, knit tops and a short set.

Statement Earrings: One Strong Pair With Button-Downs

Statement Earrings: One Strong Pair With Button-Downs

One strong earring can do more work than a whole jewelry box. This edit pairs eight statement earrings against the button-down shirts and gold necklaces that actually share the frame with them. The point is not more jewelry, it is picking the one piece that changes the outfit's balance.

The Cotton Shirt Does The Most Work

The Cotton Shirt Does The Most Work

A cotton shirt works over a swimsuit, under a knit, open as a layer and buttoned as a top. I pair eight cotton shirts and tops with eight pairs of shorts and the shoes that smarten them up.

Tennis Necklace Guide: Diamond, Crystal and Everyday Gold Styles

Tennis Necklace Guide: Diamond, Crystal and Everyday Gold Styles

A diamond tennis necklace is a single line of stones that sits close to the collarbone, and crystal and gold-tone versions follow the same shape. I cover slim everyday styles, fine diamond pieces and lab-grown lines.

Kristin Ess Hair Gloss and the Colorist Who Only Wanted to Sell at Target

Kristin Ess hair gloss is an in-shower treatment for shine between salon visits, from a colorist who built her line for Target. Here it is with the leave-ins, shampoos and other glosses I would use with it.

YSL Libre perfume is the 2019 floral that pairs French lavender with Moroccan orange blossom and a musk accord. Here are its stronger and newer versions, the hair mist and three other YSL fragrances to compare it with.

Someone Else's Closet: A Personal Edit of Shoes, Bags and Trousers

Someone Else's Closet: A Personal Edit of Shoes, Bags and Trousers

The personal edit has replaced the trend report as the way people find clothes, because a real wardrobe has logic that a trend list never does. What makes one work is inconsistency: the odd combinations nobody would put in a lookbook. This edit is built to be read as a closet rather than as a category page.

The Graphic Tee Is More Than a Weekend Uniform

The Graphic Tee Is More Than a Weekend Uniform

The graphic tee keeps casual dressing from feeling anonymous, with printed, embellished, and long-sleeve options giving the simple shape room to shift.

Gold Hoop Earrings Have Left the Quiet Corner

Gold Hoop Earrings Have Left the Quiet Corner

Gold hoop earrings need not stay in the quiet corner. Compare mini hoops, chunky shapes and a pavé crescent to find a proportion that feels like you.

Saturday Clothes: Menswear for the Weekend

Saturday Clothes: Menswear for the Weekend

Saturday clothes for men lean on Americana: denim jackets, soft knits and loose jeans doing the heavy lifting. I sorted jackets, knits, shirts, trousers, shoes and accessories for the weekend.

Puffer Jackets: What Separates a Great One From a Bulky One

Warm, packable and finally good looking

PS5: Consoles, DualSense Controllers and Headsets Sorted

PS5: Consoles, DualSense Controllers and Headsets Sorted

The PS5 launched in November 2020, and this edit sorts the consoles, DualSense controllers, headsets, the Portal and accessories by what they do in a living room. I say what I would check on each one before it goes on the shelf.

Benefit BADgal Bang! Volumizing Mascara and the Twins Who Flipped a Coin for a Beauty Boutique

A look at Benefit BADgal Bang! Volumizing Mascara and the San Francisco twins behind the brand. Four mascaras, four brow gels and waxes, and four waterproof brow fillers to go with it.

Peace Out Pimple Patches: Acne Dots and Blemish Care

Peace Out Pimple Patches: Acne Dots and Blemish Care

Peace Out pimple patches are hydrocolloid acne dots, and the brand started with a founder, a drugstore aisle and a bandage. I go through the salicylic acid dots, the pore strips, and pimple patches from other brands.

Oxford Shirts: Blue, White, Pink and Striped Styles to Layer

Oxford Shirts: Blue, White, Pink and Striped Styles to Layer

The textured cotton button down that looks better with every wash.

MAC Frost Lipstick and the Shimmer Lip Shades Around It

MAC Frost Lipstick and the Shimmer Lip Shades Around It

The MAC Frost Lipstick is the pearly, frosted lip that 1990s makeup bags were built around. Here are the Frost shades I would start with, MAC lip color with a softer shine, and metallic lip products from other brands.

The Woven Raffia Bag Has a Day Job

The Woven Raffia Bag Has a Day Job

Explore woven raffia bags for everyday plans, from Coach’s straw shoulder bag to compact bucket bags and polished totes that work beyond the beach.

Makeup and SPF: What Actually Works

Makeup and SPF: What Actually Works

For makeup and SPF, what changes the result is formulation and how you apply it, not price. I look at setting powder, concealer and a lash lifting mascara from Ogee, Chantecaille and Prada.

Knit Tops, Tanks, and Sweaters

Knit Tops, Tanks, and Sweaters

Fiber content is the first thing to check when you buy knit tops, tanks and sweaters. I go through everyday knits, the warmer layers and a few more.
