The Trick To Fuller Lips? Makeup You Already Have

March 11, 2022BruceDayne

The other day, I was tapping through Tinx’s Instagram Story and paused when she bold captioned a closeup of her lips. I thought she was going to divulge about lip filler, but instead she shared a good hack: Her makeup artist Taylor Fitzgerald used a cream blush to draw a subtle shadow around her lips that gave a natural-looking illusion of fullness. “Everyone thought I got lip injections,” she said.

Intrigued, and personally interested in insider tricks to getting subtly-enhanced lips using makeup — maybe things that I wouldn’t normally think to put on or around my lips — I chatted Fitzgerald and a few other makeup artists who gave me their best ‘hacks’ for making the lips look bigger. Ahead, the best advice I’ve gleaned.

Base-layer balm

This may sound intuitive, but before you start anything, add a base-layer lip balm to make sure you’re prepped and not dealing with chapping. “I recommend starting with a great base — the Well People Lip Nurture Hydrating Balm is my favorite for hydrating and soothing the lips,” offers makeup artist Kirin Bhatty.

Soft contour the Cupid’s Bow

According to Fitzgerald, using your blush around your lips is a foolproof hack to make them look a little larger. She uses the Armani Neo Nude Color Melting Cream Blush. “On Tinx, I used shade 21 a small brush to contour mainly above the Cupid’s Bow and under her bottom lip,” she explains. “It’s really blend-able and looks like an actual shadow, so it gives the illusion of a juicier pout with softer definition then strictly over-lining with lip liner.”

Set contour with translucent powder

If you’re using the contour technique and want the illusion to last all day or all night, set the blush contour with a brush of setting powder. “I set it with a touch of translucent powder for longevity before applying liner, lipstick, and gloss,” Fitzgerald adds.

Use a darker lip liner than you want to

Whether you want to over line your lips or follow their natural contour, Bhatty’s advice is to use a dark-brown pencil liner — even if it’s out of your comfort zone and you normally gravitate towards lighter pinks. “I would line the lips with a darker [lip] pencil,” she says. “I recommend Charlotte Tilbury’s Lip Cheat Lip Pencil in Foxy Brown or Spice from MAC.“

Try your brow pencil

If you don’t have a dark lip pencil, there’s an hack: Use your brow pencil. You’ve probably seen this ‘perfect lip shade’ trend on TikTok, with creators hacking their brow pencil as a lip liner, and makeup artist Lilly Keys explains that the shade of your brow pencil is usually pretty close to your perfect lip-liner tone. “You want to use a brown or dark reddish shade,” Key explains. Try it. You’ll may be surprised at how well it works.

Pop concealer on the center of your lips

Once your lips are lined, you can fill them in with your liner or your favorite lipstick. Then, to make the center of the lips appear a bit more pronounced, Keys uses a bit of concealer on top. “I like to take a small flat brush and tap concealer in the center of the lips,” Keys explains. This makes the center of the lips appear a shade lighter, which gives the subtle illusion of fullness.

Top with gloss

Lastly, and all makeup artists agree on this one: Top your lips with a gloss. Bhatty recommends Well People’s Hydrolip Gloss for its sheer color and non-sticky finish. But you could also use the Fenty Gloss Bomb, which Tinx loves, or really, whatever tube you have on hand. The point is high shine.

Best Black-Owned Hair Care Brands to Shop in 2022 – Our Ongoing Series!

By Jacqueline Samaroo

Hey, hey! Welcome to CurlyNikki’s ongoing series featuring a mix of well-known and up-and-coming Black-owned hair care brands.

Each has an identity all its own but they are all connected by a common goal: creating Black hair products that will produce the best results for textured hair. A healthy scalp and hair, leading to curls with tons of definition, hydration, and bounce are what these brands are all about.

And, stay tuned – there are more than 50 companies in the series. We’ll feature a new lineup of Black-owned brands for you each Friday!

Here are the five Black-owned hair care brands we are highlighting for you today.

1. Briogeo

Nancy Twine launched Briogeo in 2013 with a passion to change how we care for textured hair. Inspired by her mom, a doctor and chemist who created many homemade beauty products, Twine built one of the most successful Black-owned hair care brands dedicated to “green beauty” and “clean beauty.” She now holds the distinction of being the youngest African-American to launch a product line at Sephora. Take the website’s quick hair quiz to customize your haircare routine using its products.

Products shoutout:

This hair mask and deep conditioner is Briogeo’s best-known and best-selling product. Its rosehip oil, B-vitamins, and algae extract leave curly hair silkier, stronger, and better hydrated.

2. Uhai

Susan Edwards, a chemical engineer from Chicago, pulled up roots and move to Liberia, her husband’s home country. It was there she founded Uhai in 2017. The name means “life” in Swahili and the brand embraced this, choosing baobab, the region’s antioxidant powerhouse, as the leading ingredient in its inaugural line. Uhai has since spread its wings to other parts of Africa, and Edwards, who has relocated to the U.S., is now taking the brand worldwide.

Products shoutout:

Uhai Styling Cream

A water-based cream that hydrates, moisturizes, and defines coily and curly hair. It’s formulated with coconut oil, shea butter, and baobab oil, as well as vitamins B5 and E.

3. SwirlyCurly

It was sheer frustration that led Keziah Dhamma, a natural hair model since 2010, to design and launch the Snappee Hair Tie in 2014. She’d had enough of hair ties that were too tight, too flimsy, and caused her natural hair to break. Her company, SwirlyCurly, started out as one of the Black-owned hair care brands specializing in hair accessories. It now sells more than the Snappee, offering an array of other products, including the AfroPuff Scrunchies and the Mango Moringa Moisture Max System.

Products shoutout:

SwirlyCurly The Original Snappee Hair Ties

Designed specifically to help curlfriends rock their ponies and puffs without the worry of their hair ties breaking, deforming, being too tight, or ripping out strands.

SwirlyCurly Fancy Hair Pins

These decorative bobby pins are strong, secure, and lightweight to hold thick, naturally curly hair in place, stay in place, and not weigh your hair down.

4. Jane Carter Solution

Jane Carter comes from a “family of innovators” which might explain her intrinsic drive to create solutions. That drive led to her opening her first salon in 1982 and to later launching Jane Carter Solution, the brand that gave the natural hair community its beloved Nourish and Shine Restorative Hair Butter in 1996. This Black-owned hair care brand now boasts a worldwide presence with products sold by more than 200 stores in 10 countries.

Products shoutout:

Jane Carter Nourish and Shine Restorative Butter

SCORED For Only $99 — Anyday’s Everyday Fancy Bowl Set R29-Editors Swear By

March 10, 2022BruceDayne

Super Sale Alert: Get $21 off The Everyday Set from Anyday with the exclusive promo code ANYDAY29.
Meal prep season is here — we’re talking pre-commute breakfasts and IRL office lunches. Skip the deliveries, and get yourself the aesthetically pleasing and incredibly useful microwave bowls/dishes (one might even call them blates) from Anyday for under $100. Starting today through March 12, get $21 off The Everday Set with the promo code ANYDAY29. If you’ve been meaning to get your hands on these kitchen time savior bowls that R29 readers and editors alike swear by, now’s your chance — it’s truly a once-in-a-blue-moon deal. Plus, the shipping is completely free!

The Everyday Set $120 $99

The Everyday Set includes all of the Anyday essentials: the large deep dish, the large shallow dish, the medium deep dish, and the medium shallow dish. These bowls are completely dishwater-safe, oven-safe (up to 500°F), freezer-safe, and they come in three main colorways: kale, blueberry, and black sesame. You can mix and match your bowl usage, but Anyday recommends that the large deep dish is best for one-dish meals like soups and rice, the large shallow one for flaky meats, the medium deep one for chunky veggies and stews, and the medium shallow one for dips and tender-crisp vegetables.

How does it work? Well, its special silicone design keeps steam in during cooking — absolutely essential for the microwave — and releases the excess air through the knob vent. The lid creates a safe, low-level vacuum that keeps your food fresher for longer. In other words, it’s quick and easy meals that don’t taste like you just cooked them in the microwave. Plus, the frosted glass designs means you can serve it right there and then!

Calling all college students, cooking-challenged 20-somethings (me), busy parents, and everyone in-between: buy this cookware!
Alexandra polk, lifestyle writer

With a rating of 4.9 out of 5 stars with 535 reviews, people are absolutely loving Anyday’s Everyday Set. Reviewers are saying the set is a “weeknight night game-changer,” and the bowls will “easily pay for themselves many times over in all the delivery orders that I don’t place.” They call the dishes “beautiful,” “versatile,” and “the best improvement for microwave cooking on the market.” People are urging others to “buy it and tell everyone you know.”

Versatile – I have found a reason to use it almost every day, and this is from someone who only ever used the microwave to warm up food. Also appreciate how good it looks on the table. Highly recommend.

How I Finally Saw Myself In Turning Red, Pixar’s First Asian-Led Film

March 10, 2022BruceDayne

Growing up, I got used to not seeing myself. In films, TV shows and music videos, the heroine – the girl all the guys wanted – always pivoted around the cookie-cutter standard of Hilary Duff, Britney, Christina or Sabrina The Teenage Witch‘s Melissa Joan Hart. Their blonde, blue-eyed appearance didn’t match my own so I got used to never thinking of myself as the main character or love interest. I never gave it much thought, until recently.

Fast-forward many years and it wasn’t until I sat down to watch Pixar’s first Asian-led animated film that I actually saw myself on screen, truly, for what felt like the first time in my life. In the darkness – my stomach turning in joy – I laughed and cried, realizing what I’d been missing all this time.

In Domee Shi’s Turning Red, Chinese-Canadian Mei bursts onto the screen, a confident, larger-than-life, 13-year-old girl growing up in early noughties Toronto. Tamagotchi strapped to her backpack and clarinet clutched in her hand, she brags: “I wear what I want, say what I want. 24/7, 365.” She balances all the opposing facets of her life seamlessly: she shrieks over boy bands with her friends, is an overachiever at school and runs a temple with her family where she is the perfect dutiful daughter. That is until one day, after her strict mother, Ming (voiced by Sandra Oh), embarrasses her in front of the boy she likes and she wakes up to find that she’s transformed into a huge red panda that leaves a trail of destruction in its wake. She can return to human form if she controls her emotions but any excitement, panic or rage and – poof! – back into the panda she goes.

I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Yes, there were surface similarities. I was a teenager in the noughties, wore glasses and also owned a Tamagotchi (named Rex). My middle name is Mei. I didn’t have a clarinet but you better believe I played the violin to perfection and my grades were impeccable. I too was horny for floppy-haired pop musicians and drew fan-fic sketches of my crushes, just like Mei does. But the parallels ran deeper.

I also felt the tug-of-war of being split into two people. My dual British-Malaysian identity meant that I spent most of the year worrying about teenage things in London – boys, bands, showing my belly button in cropped hoodies – but passed my summers in the tropical heat of Kuching in Borneo with my aunties and uncles and grandmother, who practiced Buddhism. Sunbathing in denim shorts with a Walkman strapped to my hip blasting Backstreet Boys and O-Town, my relatives lovingly teased me as a “wild child” but back in London I was considered overly studious. An A-grade nerd, if you will.

At home, my mother pushed me and my brother academically. We were reminded that we had to work twice as hard as other kids in school to prove ourselves. When I begged to go to parties or to the park with friends in my free time, it was a resounding no. Like Mei’s uptight mother, Ming, my own mother feared that if she slackened the reins even a little bit I would propel destructively off the path to success she had so painstakingly laid for me.

I never turned into a big red panda but the same frustration would bubble up in me: that I was missing out, that people would think I was weird. All I wanted was to be a messy teenager and just like Mei, the more my mother pulled me in, the more I pulled away. I was double bound, an experience that many children of immigrants will understand – constantly battling our parents for a longer leash of freedom so we can fit in while holding on to tradition so we don’t lose sight of who we are. But as I watched the film, all these years later I felt sadness at how much I had rallied against my mum and misunderstood her intentions. She wasn’t strict so she could brag about me as her perfect daughter to all our relatives back home; she wanted to set me up for success because the world could be a hostile place and because the way I look meant that the odds were already stacked against my favor.

Turning Red, being a Pixar film, never shows outright instances of racism. But there’s one scene where a kid calls Mei out: “Go back to your psycho mum and your creepy temple, you freak!” Enraged, Mei puffs up in her panda self and I felt my throat constrict with a familiar fury. I know, after working hard not to be viewed as ‘other’, how hurtful words can embed themselves in you like a kernel of self-hatred and grow. I saw how Mei’s friends rushed to her defence and remembered how my own friends would gleefully unleash torrents of colourful, foul, brilliant expletives – probably a little too mature for 13-year-olds – at anyone who dared call me names in the street or even – as on one occasion – spit at me. My own mother practised quiet resilience in the face of prejudice, letting her hard work and success overcome animosity. Eventually I learned the same: that if you let your anger get the better of you, you’ll turn into someone you don’t recognize; that you can’t control what happens to you but you can control your reactions.

I never thought that an animated Pixar character would be the representation I’d always needed, nor how much I would need it right now, at this time in my life. Watching Mei on the brink of puberty, wearing her identity proudly, combating her inner turmoil and navigating her complicated relationship with her mother – who reminded me so much of my own beautiful, force-of-nature mother – I felt a swell of pride in my chest, one that has sometimes been dimmed by amplified anti-Asian sentiment and instances of violence during the pandemic. It’s taken me a bit longer than Mei (I’m now well into adulthood) but I’m learning to let all these clashing sides of me tessellate and overlap. More than ever, I feel proud of where I come from and what I look like.

It’s funny. When everyone on TV looks like you, you’re able to project yourself onto everyman characters in all media but when you don’t have that, you cling to the fibres of what you can see. There’s no doubt that seeing yourself represented in whatever way shapes your understanding and learning about your place in the world. It confirms you exist and are accepted. As Hollywood has made small strides in diversity, I’ve seen various onscreen iterations of ‘me’ in media and had a visceral emotional reaction every time. It’s not that I think I’m a crazy rich Asian or a superpower-wielding immortal or a giant red panda. What I see instead is that my life is abundant. I am lovable, strong and patient – powerful beyond measure.

Turning Red premieres exclusively on Disney+ on 11th March

Why It’s Time To Kill The French Girl Style Myth

March 10, 2022BruceDayne

Véronique Hyland is the Fashion Features Director at ELLE and the author of Dress Code: Unlocking Fashion From the New Look to Millennial Pink, a collection of essays about the intersection of fashion and our everyday lives, out on March 15, 2022.

For an industry that’s built on seasonally reinventing the way we see the world, fashion has a dirty little secret: it relies an awful lot on clichés. The little black dress. Day-to-night dressing. The much-vaunted “investment piece.” And, when it comes to its human equivalents, there’s the never-changing paper doll that is fashion’s image of the “French girl,” the muse of Pinterest boards and aspirational listicles the world over.

When I set out to write Dress Code, I knew that I wanted to devote a chapter to the global fixation on “French girl style” and look at what that undying myth really says about our culture at large. As ELLE’s Fashion Features Director, I receive several pitches per week about how to emulate the aesthetic. But the appeal goes far beyond the fashion bubble: Bestselling guides from French Women Don’t Get Fat to How to Be Parisian Wherever You Are promise to re-train us to live, eat, dress, and moisturize like those across the Atlantic, while hit shows like Emily in Paris make narrative hay out of the friction between the French and American ways of life.

While digging into its history for the book, I found that the modern French girl archetype was already in evidence by the 1950s, with actress Brigitte Bardot upending what it meant to be sexy and insouciant. The ’60s brought us the lissome yé-yé girls and French New Wave heroines who still clog every mood board on the planet. Every era since has had its own Francophone heroines, with current-day pinnacles of chic like Caroline de Maigret and Jeanne Damas parlaying their je ne sais quoi into everything from coffee-table books to beauty lines.

Writing about Bardot in Esquire, Simone de Beauvoir called her “a negligent waif” who “goes about barefooted” and “turns up her nose at elegant clothes, jewels, girdles, perfumes, make-up, at all artifice” (this, despite Bardot’s well-known love of thick eyeliner and a liberally hair-sprayed bouffant.) At various points in the story, de Beauvoir compares the bombshell to a “child” and a “creature.” Her 1959 account of Bardot sounds not unlike the way we talk about her compatriots today. As I write in the book, “They’re not calculating. They’re not trying too hard. Their innocence is fetishized long into adulthood. Almost every aspect of this feels sexist—these women aren’t a chore to be around, they don’t overthink, and they don’t have the tiresome qualities that adults do. At the same time, they know more than we do — about how to dress, eat, and live.”

This fixed idea of French girl style is not only regressive but classist, too. It pulls from the dictates of BCBG (bon chic, bon genre or good style, good class) which practically requires an ancestral line that amassed enough tweed jackets and strings of pearls for you to mix with your Levi’s to get the perfect street-style photo op. It’s largely centered on wealthy areas of Paris, as opposed to the slightly-smaller-than-Texas-sized expanse that makes up the entire nation.

And it remains static when it comes to race and body type. As I write in the book, you’ll see more baguettes and berets in these guides to French style than you will people of color. Plus-size French women exist, too, but they never seem to make it onto the mood boards. France has always been a diverse country, and as its demographics continue to change, the popular imagination still clings to the white, thin, aristocratic French woman as the sole model of “It” girl appropriate for lionizing. Rather than women like Yseult, a plus-size pop star of Cameroonian descent, who, despite being a bona fide celebrity within France, rarely shows up on American listicles featuring French girl style.

Our need to attribute the ease, languor, youth, and health of the French girl to some magical properties conferred by the contents of her closet and makeup bag feels like a form of consumerism-driven denial. When you look closer at why some aspects of life in France might be superior, they all boil down to things you can’t buy at a beauty counter or denim bar. The social safety net the country is famous for has ensured that people have more stability and free time, in the form of government-sanctioned work-life balance, universal healthcare, and ample vacation time.

If we really want to be more like French women, the perfect red lipstick and LBD will only get us so far. The most enviable thing about them isn’t their perfectly air-dried waves or haphazardly styled marinière shirts. It’s their less visible, less glamorous, but politically hard-won advantages. If we really want to live more like French people, we should start by calling our reps.

**************************

The way you have no doubt that you’re alive?
You have to have THAT kind of faith that God is providing for you.
Can you have no doubt about that?
No doubt that you’re being guided?
No doubt you’re being sheltered, protected?

When you get quiet,
when you ‘be still and know’ that you’re aware, that you’re alive,
you’re simultaneously acknowledging the presence of God.
The aliveness and the presence of God are One.
The “I Am” and the presence of God are One.
Your presence is His.

In that moment, just as you don’t doubt that you’re alive,
you also don’t doubt that you’re being carried.

Today’s Quotes:

“He keeps on losing himself, but he does not know that he is losing himself and does not know even when he is completely lost. For when he is lost, he is God; not even that he is God, but that God is God.
Oneness of God consciousness, one eternal existence, oneness of eternal life, oneness of absolute Being; only the One remains. And then the varieties of life are like the varieties of the waves in the eternal ocean of love of God.”
-Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Art and Science of Being, Transcendental Meditation

“If you gather your will to the point of wakeful absence of thinking, everything you engage in will work out perfectly. Simply make way for the intelligence beyond the mind and let the creator play you like a flute.”
-Bentinho Massaro

“Walk this earth for one purpose only; to show forth God’s glory.”
-Joel Goldsmith
