20 Medium Length Hairstyles That Are Anything But Average
Hairstyles often fall into the two categories of long and short. As if everyone is either rocking 26″ of hair or has a pixie cut. When it’s actually the medium length hairstyles that are the most applicable for people. Whether your medium length hair is intentional or unintentional, one thing’s for sure; you get the best of both worlds. You can style it pretty much any way from natural curls to wavy to straight, plus, we all know the struggle of not being able to throw our hair up and out of our face when we’ve gone a bit too short. The biggest pro? Medium hair comes with a whole lot of hairstyle inspiration. So, if you’ve been styling your hair in exactly the same way and finding yourself in a bit of a rut, here are some pictures you could tak...
I’ve Finally Organised My Beauty Cupboard—Here Are 19 Products I Swear By
I’ve spent a good portion of my career testing cult beauty products and there have been lots of hits (and a few significant misses) over the years. I love it, and it has given me access to products that quite literally do what they say on the tin. However, it has meant that I’ve never been a loyal customer and I’m always on the hunt for the next miracle product. Recently, I made the decision to scale back and fine-tune my skincare and makeup purchases. Ask my friends, it has led to me becoming a far more put-together person with a little more money in my pocket. What’s more, my beauty cabinet is no longer close to breaking point.

8 Epic Beauty Looks From My Makeup Queen, Margot Robbie
Margot Robbie can really do no wrong when it comes to beauty looks (or fashion, for that matter). With the help of her incredible makeup artist, Pati Dubroff, she always achieves a rare breed of understated glam, even when she’s opting for amped-up red carpet makeup. And let’s not forget her lovely hair—the actress has sported some incredible styles over the years, from vintage curls to chic updos, and we’ll never forget that perfect bob. After a busy past couple of years promoting various film projects, we’ve been particularly spoilt for Margot-based goodness, one being Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood. Keeping with the spirit of this retro movie, it’s no surprise that it saw her sport vintage-inspired makeup and hair to match—an...
5 Makeup Tricks That Will Make Your Eyes Look So Much Bigger
Celebs with your eye shape: Gemma Chan, Awkwafina, Ali Wong, Kelly Marie Tran “I say own the monolid,” says Quynh. “You can have so much fun because on top of that flat lid, you can place a really exaggerated, graphic liner. It doesn’t even have to be a wing; it can be more square or rectangular. You can have fun and basically just draw right on your eye. Because it’s flat, so it’s like having a smooth canvas.” Aside from graphic eyeliner, Quynh says falsies are also an eye-opening addition.”I also love love a full strip lash for this shape, because that really opens up the eye as well.” The takeaway: Use the flat surface of your eyelid to your advantage by adding a bold, graphic eyeliner. And if you’re really feeling spicy, ...

The Net-a-Porter Winter Sale is Here and I’ve Picked Out All the Best Bits
We’ve been rather lucky in the sale department over the last few weeks, as there’s been no shortage of discounts to be found on both the high street and from designer brands. Well, the Black Friday deals have now morphed into the Christmas sales, and the big daddy has just dropped—Net-a-Porter of course—and we’ve been beavering away this morning to bring you only the best bits on offer.

I Bought This Trending & Other Stories Jacket and Never Looked Back
Trends come and go, but to me a successful purchase is one that you love when you wear it years later and that goes with almost every one of your outfits. By this criteria, the best item I own is probably a camel wool blazer by & Other Stories which is single-breasted and has a boxy oversized fit, with defined shoulders. The trend for tailored blazers with big ’80-style shoulders started in spring summer 2017 thanks to the likes of Balenciaga and Céline, and has continued to be a fixture in recent collections. This was a birthday present three years ago, but it is one of & Other Stories’ staple items that they recreate every season, with only slight tweaks to the buttons and shade. This is consistently in the ‘most popular ...

Face Masks and a £2 Moisturiser Are Maya Jama’s Secret to Perfect Skin
Thanks to a bout of flu Maya Jama has turned off her video on Zoom. “Why bother doing a full hair and makeup look when I’m ill in bed?”, she says. I couldn’t agree more. Video Call Fatigue™ is very much a thing in 2020 and I’m all here for Jama admitting that she feels rubbish and would rather not turn on her camera. It’s this honesty that’s part of Jama’s charm—I hesitate to use the word relatable but that’s really the only way to describe her. If you’re not already in love with Jama, you’re probably the last person who isn’t. It might sound sycophantic but that doesn’t mean it isn’t true. Just go over to the TV and radio presenter’s Instagram page, click on any image and you’ll see plenty of people professing their love f...
8 Warm Outfit Ideas for Dining Outside When It’s Cold
I never thought I’d be writing about the predicament of what to wear to dine outdoors in the winter (because who does that?), but it’s our reality in 2020, so here I am to give you some advice. First and foremost, it’s up to each of us to decide what level of risk we’re comfortable taking during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dining outdoors is indeed safer than dining indoors and depending what Tier you are in, many who are choosing to go to a restaurant are spending their weekends looking for restaurants with outdoor heaters. I, for one, have dined outdoors in the heat with flies swarming and in the rain this year, so I guess my next adventure is dining outside when it’s sub-zero temperatures. But it’s going to take a little preparation, so let...
I Can’t and Won’t Stop Buying Vases—Here Are My Favourites
It used to be shoes but now my shopping weakness is vases. Has Covid-era claustrophobia just morphed into a kind extreme nesting where only ceramics can comfort me? Am I now—gasp—old? Or do I just simply have enough shoes and need to move onto something with almost no limit on what’s an appropriate amount to own? It may well be a combination of the three, in addition to the fact that my footwear requirements have really been filtered down to comfy, comfier and comfiest: Flat boots, trainers and slippers are all in constant rotation. But either way, the vase obsession is real; I’m constantly repinning all sorts of pieces and I really don’t discriminate. Vintage, sculptural, minimalist, kitsch, and artsy styles are all littering my (privat...
