Garnier, one of the biggest and most recognizable beauty brands in the world, just announced that all of its products are now 100% cruelty-free and have been designated Leaping Bunny-certified.

This is an important milestone for the beauty industry at large, showing a concerted effort by a mass brand to look inward, investigate their supply chain, and rectify any instances of animal testing. In recent history, the only comparable effort we’ve seen is in the case of CoverGirl, which became officially Leaping Bunny-certified back in 2018.

In terms of Garnier’s certification, this news means that now, every single one of the brand’s skin-care and hair products you grab at the drugstore — be it the pink-capped Micellar Water or a bottle of Fructis Sleek and Shine Shampoo — will have the Leaping Bunny logo, proving it’s been formulated in accordance with the purity standards set in place by Cruelty Free International.

For Garnier, a global L’Oréal brand, earning a Leaping Bunny designation required careful inspection across its more than 500 international suppliers, who source more than 3,000 ingredients from around the world — which is to say, it was a process. “It has taken many months,” explained Michelle Thew, CEO of Cruelty Free International, in a recent press release. “But Garnier have diligently reviewed every supplier and source and we are completely confident with the results.”

More than an important step towards ending animal testing across the cosmetics industry, Garnier’s commitment also offers all shoppers a new sense of transparency. Now, whether you’re buying boxed hair color or an eye cream that’s actually affordable, you can also have peace of mind knowing that no animals were harmed at any point in the production line.

At tonight’s Golden Globe Awards, actress Amanda Seyfried is nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of Marion Davies in the Netflix drama Mank. For the mostly virtual event, Seyfried still prepped for this year’s Globes as she would an IRL red carpet, going all-in with hair, makeup, and a designer gown. One major upside to the safe and remote nature of her appearance: The actress was able to bring her kids along for her big day.

On her Instagram Stories, Seyfried shared some behind-the-scenes snaps from inside her hotel room, where she got ready for her Zoom Globes appearance with the help of her glam squad, hairstylist Renato Campora, makeup artist Genevieve Herr, and the cutest assistant ever: Seyfried’s three-year-old daughter, Nina Sadoski Seyfried.

“I wouldn’t let her do my makeup tonight, so she brushed my hand,” Seyfried captioned a shot of her daughter having fun with Herr’s equipment.

Like many celebrities, Seyfried and her husband Thomas Sadoski choose to keep both of their children — Nina and five-month-old Thomas — out of the spotlight and don’t show their faces on social media, and this photo is no exception. However, the sweet candid shot proves that Seyfried’s daughter is getting to experience the Golden Globe Awards with mom, which is pretty special.

Like many nominees and virtual attendees of this year’s Golden Globes Awards, actress Anya Taylor-Joy of The Queen’s Gambit fame used the occasion to get all dressed up. Winning the Golden Globe for Best Actress In A Mini-Series, Taylor-Joy Zoomed into the ceremony to deliver her acceptance speech, and fans on Twitter were quickly abuzz about how stunning she looked.

Taylor-Joy was styled to perfection in a sparkly emerald-green custom Dior gown and diamonds by Tiffany & Co., but in the tiny Zoom square, the stunning fashion and accessories were almost upstaged by the glam. The star’s super-long, icy platinum-blonde hair was pulled into a deep, dramatic side part covering one eye, with fresh-faced makeup punctuated by a subtle smoky eye and a crisply-defined rose-mauve lipstick.

Makeup artist Georgie Eisdell shared a closeup of Taylor-Joy’s Golden Globes glam on Instagram. Keeping with the nod to Dior, Eisdell partnered with the prestige brand, using Dior Beauty eyeshadow palettes and lipstick to create this look.

One of Sarah Hyland’s most signature features is her long, dark-brown hair. Though the Modern Family alum plays with her hairstyle — sometimes it’s flat-ironed, and pulled back into a sleek ponytail, other times she wears it curly and natural — the color is almost always a rich brunette.

But now, Hyland has made a drastic change: dyeing her hair from dark brown to bright red, and she looks totally different. For her color transformation, Hyland visited L.A. hair salon Nine Zero One for an appointment with celebrity colorist Nikki Lee, who tells us that the actress has actually been toying with the idea of becoming a redhead for quite some time.

“Sarah’s been wanting to do this change for a while — and we finally did it,” Lee tells Refinery29 via email. The tone they opted for is a dimensional (and low-key very believable) shade of copper that includes a blend of highlights and lowlights you’d see on a born redhead. “It’s perfect for her skin tone and adds a fun flair for spring,” Lee adds.

Perhaps the reason the strawberry-copper hair color appears so fitting on Hyland is because, as she explains on Instagram, she identifies with her Celtic heritage. “Getting back to my Scottish/Irish roots,” the star captioned her redhead debut, a selfie shot that shows her freshly-tinted waves reflecting the light from a nearby window. Given how naturally Hyland takes on red, we’re wondering if it’s too late for her to pull an Emma Stone, and make it her new signature.

Whether you like it or not, agree or disagree, Gen Z has a clear and unanimous point of view when it comes to where people should be parting their hair — and it's straight down the middle. According to the TikTok generation, skinny jeans are over, and any variation on the side part is officially "uncool."

Now, to those who like an off-center part — because it provides extra root volume and makes them feel "sexier" and "more adult," or maybe because that's just the way their hair naturally falls — this declaration is not only unwelcome, it's personal. Ahead, four impassioned Refinery29 staffers speak on the topic and defend their right to part their hair left of center.

Following weeks (months?) of speculation, Kourtney Kardashian publicly confirmed her relationship with musician Travis Barker. The two became Instagram official on Tuesday, February 16, when Kardashian posted a photo of their hands intertwined.

Despite the fact that the Poosh founder‘s cryptic hand-holding post provided no dead giveaways in the form of a photo caption or tag, fans were quick to put the pieces together, immediately identifying Barker by his hand tattoos. For her part, Kardashian made a point to use the relationship announcement to flex her fresh manicure, a trending nail art design equal parts minimalist and low-key romantic: a ruby-red heart-tipped French.

A post shared by Kourtney Kardashian (@kourtneykardash)

This spin on the French has gained major traction this winter, specifically around Valentine’s Day. The design starts as a French manicure, but instead of the telltale white stripe at the tip of the nail, you make a bowed heart shape using any polish you like — clean white, edgy black, candy-colored pastels, or a classic red, like Kourtney.

Given that the reality TV star’s relationship confirmation comes the same week as V-Day, it’s possible that her festive heart tips were designed specifically for the holiday of love. But like the bouquet of long-stem roses in a vase on your coffee table that have yet to start wilting, the heart-tipped French manicure proves to have a little bit of staying power.

Mary-Kate Olsen was just spotted for the first time since finalizing her divorce from former husband Olivier Sarkozy. The 34-year-old fashion designer was seen on the streets of Manhattan, sporting a signature heavily-layered ensemble — a cream-colored maxi coat and a black beanie — which she paired with a downright unexpected hairstyle: pigtail braids.

Of course, the signature Olsen-twin hairstyle is very bohemian: super long, rooted blonde, parted down the middle, and styled in messy beachy waves. Polished twin braids are a look we haven’t seen on the star in decades, and they bring us right back to her days on Full House.

More than just unexpected, Olsen’s long double braids have a cool twist: They’re not tied at the ends. The tie-less braid is a trend we’ve seen play out on Instagram through quarantine, specifically with the mini accent braids placed right at the hairline. According to celebrity hairstylist Justine Marjan, the key to keeping a braid (or, in this case, braids) intact without an elastic is to weave the strands tightly and tease the ends to keep them from unraveling.

Leave it to Mary-Kate Olsen to step out almost incognito and serve winter hair inspiration: Loose braids plus a beanie is officially the chic adult way to do pigtails.

Any Katy Perry fan knows that the singer/songwriter has a flair for the dramatic when it comes to glam. Whether she’s performing at the Super Bowl halftime show or deliberating with Lionel Richie on American Idol, Perry loves to shock and awe with electric yellow eyeliner and platinum-blonde hair.

However, since giving birth to daughter Daisy Dove in late August 2020, Perry has been toning it down a bit, switching her colorful style and beauty aesthetic to a more retro ’70s vibe. Most recently, she’s traded her choppy blonde bob for a glossy jet-black color, waist-grazing extensions, and feathered curtain bangs — a quick glance at Perry’s latest Instagram post, and you might actually mistake her for Kacey Musgraves.

Perry showed off her back-to-black hair during a recent in-studio interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live, where Kimmel himself even commented that he never knows what length or color she’s going to have her hair, so it’s a surprise every time she come on the show. “You know, I like to keep people on the edge of their seats,” Perry responded. “But also, when mom has a night off, she leans all the way in.”

A post shared by KATY PERRY (@katyperry)

For the night-out occasion, Perry paired her ’70s hair moment with a glossy nude lip, fluttery eyelash extensions, black heels, and a long-sleeve butterfly-print dress by designer Dundas. Of course, we’ll always love Perry with her very blonde pixie, but there’s something about her naturally dark hair — super long, parted straight down the middle, and accented with a face-framing fringe — that feels right for winter and perfectly on trend in 2021.

Even if you’ve never seen an entire episode of HBO’s Euphoria, you’re probably familiar with its two buzziest headliners: Zendaya (of course) and the makeup. The latter can be credited to the series’ head makeup designer, Doniella (Donni) Davy, and her interpretation of a world where high schoolers stick rhinestones on their eyebrows and draw their eyeliner in the shape of a cloud.

Needless to say, the show’s fans constantly pull real-life inspiration from Euphoria, recreating the makeup worn by their favorite characters. One of the most-copied designs is the cloud look Davy designed for Jules, played by Hunter Schafer — and now today, as a gift to her Euphoria stans, Davy is releasing a face-sticker version of her now-iconic clouds.

The special-edition decals were hand-drawn by Davy and brought to life in collaboration with fellow makeup artist Phyllis Cohen, the founder of Face Lace, a brand that specializes in adhesive makeup. Each special Euphoria-themed pack retails for $17.50 and includes two sets of cloud-shaped stickers, one in a rainbow holographic finish and the other in a metallic silver.

You can use your twinkle cloud stickers exactly as Jules would, or customize your look to level up your face mask — they’re reusable, so the styling opportunities are endless. And the best part? The collaboration pledges to donate 10% of the sticker sales to Trans Lifeline.

We’re all familiar with the saying: Your eyebrows are supposed to be sisters, not twins. But for some of us, the arches of our brows are more distant, like second or third cousins — at different heights, with varied degrees of fullness — and we choose to put in tedious mirror time to shape them closer towards symmetrical.

Such was the plight of Celeste Northern, our featured client in the most recent episode of Refinery29’s YouTube series, Macro Beauty. In today’s episode, Northern visits Cat Chung, lead artist at NYC’s Tint Brow Studio, to try an innovative new approach to microblading known as ombré powder brows.

According to Chung, the ombré powder brow is a permanent-makeup technique designed to diffuse the drama of a tattooed eyebrow. “The ombré powder brow service is a bit newer to the market,” Chung says. “It involves lighter shading in the front of the brow with gradual darkening towards the tails, which creates a super-natural result.”

The service is ideal for a client like Northern, who’s just looking to save herself a few minutes in the morning by eliminating the need for everyday eyebrow makeup. Her goal is for her brows to be more defined and “filled in,” and a smidge more symmetrical, but her big caveat is that she wants to keep them looking natural.

The microblading process with ombré powder is a marriage of geometry and art, and for Chung, it can take up to three hours from start to finish. First, she closely inspects Northern’s natural brows, noticing sparseness towards the ends where she’ll fill in for shape. Next, she applies a stick-on ruler lamination to the forehead, and stencils the angles of each arch to confirm symmetry. Then, she applies a numbing cream before using a small tattoo pen to shade the brows, working from the tail to the head on each side.

Afterwards, Northern is able to admire her new eyebrows. “Oh my God, I’m obsessed,” she exclaims, checking the mirror and noting the subtlety of the results. “I was a little nervous that I was going to walk out looking very extreme — like I had very bold eyebrows — but that’s definitely not the case. This is definitely a confidence-booster.” Check out the entire process in the video above.

Katherine Heigl just made her grand return to television in Netflix’s newest original series, Firefly Lane. The show, which is based on the novel of the same name by Kristin Hannah, just hit everyone’s favorite streaming platform, and is being hailed as a feel-good “This Is Us for best friends.”

While the series is a sentimental family-friendly drama — a story of love, coming of age, and lifelong friendship — it does come with one big shocker: Heigl looks completely different than we’ve ever seen her before. For her co-starring role in the adaptation of the 2008 novel, the typically blonde actress had to be transformed into a brunette.

While Heigl has an impressively-lengthy IMDb resumé, she’s best-known for iconic characters that have been very blonde — think Izzie Stevens in Grey’s Anatomy or Jane in 27 Dresses. However, for this new role in Firefly Lane, Heigl was cast as Tully Heart, a character who’d already been written by Hannah as the confident spitfire brunette to complement best friend Kate’s (played by Sarah Chalke) understated blonde. So obviously, Heigl needed a wig to do it justice.

From the trailer and rough cut of the series, it does appear as though Heigl sports a few different wigs through the 30-year storyline, as opposed to actually dyeing her hair dark. From the recent press she’s done to promote the show, as well as her Instagram activity, the star does appear to still be blonde in real life, which serves to make this new on-screen persona all the more striking.

Watch the trailer for Firefly Lane, now streaming on Netflix.

Any entrepreneur, celebrity or otherwise, will tell you that when starting your own company, there are more than few legal hoops to jump through. One of the first, and most important from a public perspective, is filing trademark for naming rights — which, TMZ reports, Hailey Bieber just did, spurring rumors that the model may have a business in the works.

According to legal documents recently obtained by the tabloid, the star is seeking to lock up the rights to “Rhode,” which is her middle name (as stated on her Instagram bio). The outlet goes on to assert that Bieber plans to use the potential Rhode patent to launch a beauty brand, which would include “beauty and wellness merch, bath and shower products, beauty creams, personal cleaning products, cosmetics, makeup, fragrances, haircare and skincare,” TMZ claims.

Currently, the model has a working relationship with another cosmetic brand — she’s the global ambassador for BareMinerals — which may present a conflict of interest in starting her own label. However, it’s likely that she’s already sussed out any contractual logistics, especially considering that this isn’t her first attempt at branding her own line: In 2019, Bieber filed to trademark Bieber Beauty, intended at the time to be a line of skin and body-care products.

Obviously, Bieber Beauty never made it out of incubation — but a second attempt at a beauty or wellness brand still makes a lot of sense, as the model says she’s “super into skin care” and has even acted as a live-in facialist for her husband, Justin, helping to develop a product regimen to clear his adult-onset acne over quarantine.

A post shared by Hailey Rhode Baldwin Bieber (@haileybieber)

As for the name, “Rhode” would complement Justin’s personal business ventures: Back in 2017, the “Yummy” singer quietly trademarked a take on his own middle name with “House Of Drew,” which is now his streetwear label. In 2021, the celebrity couple that brands together stays together.
