This Classic Full Coverage Foundation Has Cult Status–Here’s Why It’s So Popular

First of all, you can forget touch-ups. This mattifying foundation, isn’t going to budge. Unlike other full coverage, matte foundations, the longer you wear this the better the finish. It might be matte but it still gives your complexion some true-to-life radiance without being a total oil slick as the day goes on. The formula is thick without weighing down the skin and luckily, it doesn’t dry down into that overly powdered finish that most matte foundations can do. There’s no need to mix foundation shades either as the shade range is so inclusive. The shades span from light to deep and most importantly, have three different undertone categories. Cool, neutral and warm–so you’re guaranteed to find the ideal match.  Ready for more? Make the most of this foundati...

Driving the 1966 Jaguar XJ13, the British Brand’s Stillborn Le Mans Contender

Le Mans, 1968, the way it was meant to sound: the rolling thunder of the 7.0-liter Ford GT40s, the screaming howl of the Ferrari P4s, the edgy rasp of the Porsche 908s, and the metallic snarl of the mid-engine, V-12-powered Jaguar XJ13. The thought of this impossibly low-slung British Racing Green roadster running wheel to wheel down the Mulsanne Straight with scarlet Ferraris, big-banger Fords, and scrappy Porsches is enough to get any enthusiast’s pulse racing. Of course, it never happened. But to wriggle into the one and only XJ13’s snug cockpit, grasp the well-worn wood-rimmed steering wheel, and fire up the fuel-injected V-12 nestling in the small of your back is to get a tantalizing taste of the glorious spectacle it would have been. The XJ13 grew out of a program that st...

Trickle-Down Tailgatenomics: 2021 Chevrolet Silverado Gets GMC’s Fancy Tailgate Tech

When the current GMC Sierra 1500 debuted, we applauded the truck for finally differentiating itself from its slightly-(slightly) lower-market Chevrolet Silverado 1500 sibling. One key differentiator? An exclusive, optional reconfigurable tailgate that can alternately act as a work surface, a step into the bed, or a load stop depending on how you position it. But now, we’re learning that the handy tailgate will trickle down to the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado. There will be one small difference: While GMC calls the innovation the “MultiPro” tailgate, Chevrolet dubs its version the “Multi-Flex” tailgate. At the end of the day, it’s the same “multi” thing. On both trucks, the tailgate offers six unique configurations. Along with the aforementio...

4 Major Cleansing Mistakes Everyone Is Probably Guilty of Making

“The biggest issues I see are people over-cleansing their skin by performing steps such as… scrubbing away brillo-pad style [and] overdoing it with facial brushes,” explained Anita. Instead of relying on electric tools or really rough face cloths, use a gentle muslin to assist with your cleansing and spend time choosing the right cleanser for your morning and evening routine to make sure you’re getting the results that you want. “Your morning cleanse should be light, hydrating and balancing… it helps to reset the skin and get it ready for the day,” said Anita. “Your nighttime cleanse can be more intensive. This step will help to remove pore-clogging makeup, bacteria and environmental debris that may have accumulated throughout the day.” You Deserve...

How Our Wardrobes Have Changed Forever Because of the Pandemic

In Carolyn Mair’s book, The Psychology of Fashion, she says, “in some cases, fashion precedes political change; at other times it follows it.” Thanks to the pandemic of 2020, we’re very much looking at the latter exception. Overnight, with very little warning, (let’s be honest—many of us were working from home and still are and during the height of true lockdown), we’ve all had to adjust our daily lives and routines. Our need for constricting garments and more formal attire was suddenly made completely obsolete. No more suits, no more jeans, and, in some cases, no more bras. While some might rejoice in the lack of the aforementioned, it’s also meant we have had little reason to dress up—no more sequin dresses for parties, no more wedding ...

2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee: Everything We Know About the Upcoming Mid-Size SUV

After a decade of resting on its laurels, the Jeep Grand Cherokee finally undergoes a full redesign for the 2022 model year. This marks the Grand Cherokee’s fifth generation after nearly thirty years of carrying the mid-size SUV mantle for the off-road-oriented Jeep brand. While the 2022 Grand Cherokee will maintain the mission of its forebears, it also promises to look toward the future with modern mechanical and convenience kit. A Grander 2022 Grand Cherokee Reportedly riding on a variant of the Alfa Romeo Stelvio‘s rear-drive-based underpinnings (the same basic chassis will underpin the Maserati Grecale crossover, too), the 2022 Grand Cherokee ought to improve upon the model’s on-road dynamics without sacrificing its off-road capability.  See all 30 photos Look fo...

2021 Ferrari Portofino M First Look: M Is for More

For better or worse, we’ve called the Portofino an everyday Ferrari—a very good, but not great, car from Maranello. That’s less of a criticism and more an observation of the real purpose of the entry-level Ferrari drop-top. We have already found it to be fast, elegant, refined, and luxuriously equipped—it’s faint praise only when you consider the other prancing horses in the stable. And with the 2021 Portofino M, Ferrari is refining the formula even further. See all 21 photos M stands for modificata, or modification, signaling an evolution of the existing model. Consider it a mid-cycle refresh. The real news here is that the Portofino M adopts the eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission from its fixed-top Roma sibling, a unit that debuted in the incredible SF9...

Thanks to Miranda Priestly, I Already Love Pantone’s Latest Trending Colour

Ask any fashion fanatic and I bet you will find they’re able to quote at least one line from Devil Wears Prada. After all, Meryl Streep’s inimitable portrayal of Miranda Priestly left us with so many iconic quips.  However, one of the most memorable moments of the entire film is undeniably the scene in which Priestly analyses in great detail the colour of a single jumper. “What you don’t know is that that sweater is not just blue,” she says. “It’s not turquoise. It’s not lapis. It’s actually cerulean.” Priestly then goes on to explain the history of the specific shade, outlining its various significant runway appearances, and of course, solidifying cerulean as a colour never to be forgotten among the fashi...
