As the founder of her beauty brand, Nyakio Greico—who founded Nyakio™️ Beauty—knows a thing or two about underrepresentation.

Every year while growing up, I’d ask for an instrument for Christmas. One year, it was a gold Fender electric guitar, the next an introductory drum set. Each was quickly tossed aside with the realization that I have, well, no rhythm. Santa got wise—so when I had the nerve to ask for a piano on

2020 will be known for many things, but among the more innocuous happenings is the rise of celebrity candles. In the past year, Kacey Musgraves and Boy Smells collaborated on a song-inspired scent, Jackie Aina launched her own candle company Forvr Mood, and Gwyneth Paltrow created her own wick that smells like her vagina. Our

On March 17, otherwise known as my 38th birthday, a press release landed in my inbox: The American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), the professional body overseeing fertility care in the U.S., was recommending the suspension of all “non-urgent” treatments, including in vitro fertilization and egg freezing, due to COVID-19. As many people shut themselves

I never leave the house without a mask on, but I often return with new zits underneath my mask. Yes, I get that dreaded “maskne,” and honestly, I haven’t broken out like this since high school. Of course, I’m not about to stop wearing masks – not catching or spreading illnesses is important! – but

Surprisingly, the most delicious thing on this season of Great British Bake Off is not the saucy pods, crisp-bottomed pies, or scrumptious scones.

I’m going to admit it: I’ve been a little wary of wearing a full bold lip under my mask. Between my genuine struggle with maskne and the fact that I’ve been opting for full glam for Zoom over full glam for a grocery store run, I haven’t felt the need for a bold lip and

The ongoing global pandemic has separated people from their friends and families, jobs, and favorite restaurants. But if there’s one thing the pandemic won’t separate Zoe Kravitz from, it’s her red lipstick. Of course, with global mandates requiring people to wear masks out in public at all times, Kravitz—like many of us—has found it increasingly

Jennifer Lopez is channeling her inner Spice Girl. Yesterday, Lopez’s hairstylist, Chris Appleton, took to Instagram to show off his star client’s latest look.

If you see Brie Larson strolling the streets in a face mask, she’s likely sporting a shade of red lipstick underneath.

Harry LangdonGetty Images During a recent late-night Instagram deep dive I found myself on a Cher stan account. That night, I dreamed I had the singer’s dark, impossibly long glossy locks.
