A handful of clever ingredients make it all work. Without getting too technical, you’ll find non-irritating polymers — or film formers — like butylene, ethylene, and dimethicone copolymers, all approved for use around the eyes. They help the gel cling to lashes, provide all-day support for curls, and keep lashes flexible and comfortable, rather than brittle or caked in product.
“The consistency and feeling of this mask on the skin is completely unbeatable,” says Loggins. “It somehow left my skin looking not only more clear, but healthier overall.”
This mask cleans and tightens, making it a good option for those with large pores. The grapes provide a boost of antioxidants and work to limit excess sebum production, while the pink clay sloughs away dead skin cells and buildup. The caffeine then comes in to leave the skin looking smooth and brightened, which makes this a great option if you’re looking for something to apply in the morning before heading out for the day.

Our tester immediately noted the sweet pumpkin smell, which she said, “doesn’t scream overly fall (so you can definitely use it all throughout the year with it giving too much PSL), but it’s sweet and refreshing.” The pumpkin smell comes from actual pumpkin enzymes, which serve as both an exfoliant and a skin-brightening antioxidant. It also contains AHAs and aluminum oxide crystals, which serve to exfoliate the skin chemically and physically. This is definitely the mask to try if you’ve experienced texture or breakouts.
“I loved the exfoliating beads in it and how the formula sat on my skin and helped suck up and clarify congested areas,” said Kilkeary. “I definitely will say that it stung a little and the texture is a little sticky, but it was well worth it for my much more clarified, clean and even-toned skin finish. The texture of my skin also noticeably improved (even after using this just one time!) and I’ll definitely reach for it again when I’m feeling extra oily or clogged up.”

As with most of Tatcha’s products, the formulation feels super lightweight and airy, but our tester found that it still packed a results-filled punch. The volcanic ash creates a warming sensation that causes the pores to open up similarly to warm water. From there, the Japanese konjac plant gently exfoliates as the clay pulls away oil and buildup. Our tester described it as incredibly lightweight with an almost gritty texture, “So light that you’d almost think it wouldn’t do anything, but somehow it manages to tighten and brighten my skin, visibly so,” she said.
“I’m such a fan of this clarifying mask—I wear it on damp skin for about 10 minutes once a week, and with each use, my pores truly look smaller (or non-existent),” our tester says. “My skin feels more matte, but I seem to glow. It’s my favorite mask! Highly recommend.”
Dr. Nazarian recommends this pick due to the active ingredient adapalene, which is a retinoid. Retinoids help fight off fine lines and wrinkles by promoting collagen production and by reducing inflammation. While retinoids can be slightly irritating to the skin, especially if you haven’t used them before, she recommends pairing it with a gentle cleanser and moisturizer after use. In addition to the retinoid, this mask also contains 6% sulfur, which is great for breakouts and makes it ideal for spot treatments if you just have one or two places that need attention.
These are the stories making headlines in fashion on Monday. MAC Cosmetics has tapped Chappell Roan as its latest global brand ambassador, effective early 2026. “Partnering with MAC feels full circle,” she said in a statement. “This brand has always made space for people like me; since day one, …

Welcome to Beauty’s Night Out, a series dedicated to the need-to-know beauty conversations dominating the nightlife scene. Expect a first look at the latest trends, behind-the-scenes tutorials, and loads of going-out inspiration as you get all dolled up—all you need is your favorite playlist.
Picture it: You and your best friends are getting ready in your apartment. You’ve slipped on a sequin minidress, makeup is strewn across your vanity, and your bubblegum-pop Y2K playlist (or your pre-party playlist of choice) is blasting from your phone speaker. It’s official: Holiday party season is in full swing. I’ve been searching for some fresh makeup ideas for such occasions, and who better to ask than someone who lives and breathes nightlife? So, I called on Christa Eduafo, AKA DJ CHVMELEON—an NYC-based DJ, content creator, and social strategist—to give me some party-makeup inspo.
“My go-to makeup look is a natural beat or soft glam. Lots of blush, sharp liner, mascara, and a neutral lip combo,” Eduafo tells me. “But the holidays are an excuse to get a little more colorful, glittery, and festive, so that’s what I aimed for with this look.”
While you might expect her high-performing makeup to have an equally high price tag, she revealed that her long-lasting, highly pigmented products are all $12 and under—and they’re all from SHEGLAM.
“From the liquid shadow to the buttery blush stick, everything I used stands out on my deep skin tone and lasts all night, which is always what I look for,” she gushes.
Keep scrolling for the glittery, glossy, budget-friendly look she’s wearing to all her holiday parties this year.
To start, she relies on a good primer to make sure her makeup doesn’t budge throughout the night. And after topping off her foundation and concealer with the Insta-Ready Blur & Lift Setting Powder Duo ($9), it’s all about the blush.
“I love a bright, ultra-pigmented cream blush,” she says. “I’ve really gotten into using blush lately, and I’m not afraid to pile it on.”
She also gave a hot tip if you want to subtly up your blush game: “I go back in with the setting powder to remove some of the shine and calm the brightness to get the perfect balance.”

“You’ll never catch me without a sharp, cat-eye liner,” she says. “I’m obsessed with how pigmented the Pro-Precision Waterproof Liner is.”
The glitz and glam of the season even inspired her to pick up a product she doesn’t normally reach for: “I don’t typically use eyeshadow, and the Airglow Eye Tint felt like the perfect glittery, festive touch to add to the look. I loved the sparkle it added, so I’ll definitely be reaching for this often.”
I can see why she became instantly obsessed with the shimmery, twinkling formula.

For her lip combo, Eduafo got creative and put me onto my new favorite hack: “I used the Precision Sculpt Liquid Contour as a liquid lipstick,” she explains. “I always pair a dark-chocolate lip liner with a neutral gloss. I feel it gives my lips dimension without being too high-maintenance throughout the night.” We love a multitasking product! She finished the look off with a swipe of the Glass Lock Air Gloss in two different shades—Sepia Kiss and That’s My Jam—for a hint of color that’s completely unique to her.

A floral dress is standard fare from Lela Rose, but this season the designer approached it a little differently. Her canvas skirt sets came embellished with floral appliqués that were actually made by hand from leather. Rose was rightly proud of this new detail, pointing out that the appliqués won’t lose their shape or structure, and that the mixed textile components add something new to the closets of her customers.
Over the years, the brand has become a dependable source for evening wear, especially for Southerners. Now, in a more experimental frame of mind, Rose used casual fabrics for those signature dresses. A floral gown, for instance, was made from simple cotton poplin. Though it was lined with horsehair fabric to add volume and drama, it retained its relaxed perspective.
Your weekly horoscope is here. With Mercury joining the sun, Venus, and Mars in the sign of excess, Sagittarius, the celestial centaur will gladly see you throw all caution to the wind. If you weren’t exhibiting signs of ADHD and dopamine depletion before, you may well be by the week’s exuberant end, so call in discipline to balance the mayhem. Most of us are mentally on holiday because it’s December, so it’s not too early to begin forecasting into 2026 with big plans. You may have a different take on the year ahead than you did only a few weeks ago. So, course-correct and think even bigger! Forget scrolling away your holiday hours; there is an opportunity you hadn’t spotted. It’s like a nugget of gold—don’t pass it by if you’re dwelling on disappointment or holding onto the past. No! Enough of that, now! Cast your eyes toward a fresh horizon!! This is the season of possibility, fresh fields, and if you think you’ve failed, then at least “fail up” for some comic relief. It’s all in your attitude, so bring one of gratitude along with a healthy dose of humour. Truth bombs and personal realizations aside, Sagittarius season is perfect for friending, generous reciprocity, and casting your net wide. A love of foreign cultures, learning, and adventure rolls into a social, loud, and festive period. Kick up your heels and open your heart to others—if not now, then when?
Read on to discover what’s in store for your sign during the week of December 7 through December 13, 2025.
Communication amps up as Mercury bumps up the quota of planets traveling through your sphere of horizon-expanding big-picture concepts and adventures. While in spin-doctor mode, pitch your best plan, even if it’s just pitching it to yourself for consideration. If you were to shoot a flame-tipped arrow into your future, what would its light reveal? Sit with that idea, and note the image that spontaneously appears in your mind’s eye, or the feeling in your body. What is your sense of knowing when you ask this question? Planning travel, studying, or building out an idea? Mercury in the sign of the seeker (Sagittarius) is ready to hyperlink you through to a higher source. Catch the profound statements, ideas, or realizations as they appear, and don’t judge the messenger.
Themes around value, emotional connection, and communication are highlighted this week, and it hits you right where your wallet is. The full supermoon, peaking on Thursday, is a great time to note how you’re feeling about your finances, income, investment, and feelings in general. Discuss the practical side with someone knowledgeable, and reflect from a calm, clear vantage point. As the end of the year rolls in and the final round of holiday spending is edging closer, the clarity embedded in this week is highly valuable. Language helps us define and refine our world and experiences. This month it’s financial literacy as a love language. There are so many more podcasts, books, and media aimed at modern contemporary audiences; it’s never been easier to tune in and learn. Maintain a balance between what is absolutely yours and what you share or benefit from through others; that’s a focal point right through the month.
It’s time to be upfront, honest, and direct in your sphere of intimacy, Taurus. Adventures in discovering what makes someone close to you tick are the order of the day. Or is that a deeper self-discovery tour you’re on? Either way, take a leaf out of the sign of the seeker’s book by making an honest appraisal of the part of you that meets others at a deeper level. Cast into the future regarding what lights you up, what excites you. What brings you hope, optimism, and a feeling of generosity when it comes to others? Shared resources are a source of luck right now. What larger structure, business, or organization could you plug into to open up your options?
While December ramps into holiday festivities, there’s still an emphasis on work and wellness for you, dear Cancer. We’re in the optimistic season of Sagittarius, so bring a sense of generosity and belief in abundance to your daily routines. More is better right now; get your body and mind moving, and reach out to colleagues and clients with an eye on expansion. Bring a sense of spontaneity to your schedule by mixing it up. Choose a different route to work or to shop for groceries. Explore your options and catch up with the changing landscape in your field of expertise. Times are moving at breakneck speed, and it’s expected that you keep up and even set the bar yourself. With 2025 almost done and dusted, are you ready to take on a new challenge in the new year? Scout ahead now so you’re ready to take action and have as much information as you need.
Lucky you, Leo—the sun lights up in the season of the adventurous, fun-loving truth seeker, activating your sphere of past times, leisure, and romance. That’s a combination you’re born for! Make the most of this week, even if you have duties, work, or study. Take the time that you can spare to enjoy pleasure, expand your mind through adventure and creativity, and lean into the party season with gusto. Which of your talents are you feeling inspired to explore? Set a target or goal, so you’re more likely to achieve your vision. If you’re single and ready to mingle, now really is your time to shine. The party gal in you is ready to kick up her heels, so dress to impress; there’s a well-traveled, wondrous heartthrob waiting in the wings of that party or event. But you won’t find them unless you get out and about, or call on friends; their bestie may fall hard for your glamorous appeal.
Catch the bigger picture even if it’s in your periphery as debate ranges over various topics. Even if it’s not immediately applicable or seemingly useful, wide-ranging macro views are the order of the day over this period. Put down the magnifying glass, step back, and let the variety of social engagements, conversation, and concepts flow. Think of it like panning for gold, you never know what nugget of truth may show up, unexpected and gleaming, ready to change your mind, outlook, or direction. It’s not entirely business as usual, as the season of the gregarious centaur doesn’t quite mesh with your finely tuned sensibilities. However, your ruling planet Mercury is back in this sign after a recent retrograde, so course-correcting your perspective, comms, or an idea is par for the course. It could be a person born under the sign of Sagittarius, suggesting a change of mind, or it could be on the domestic front. Whatever it is, adaptation at home can work for you.
While your sign is often equated with the pursuit of love, relationships, and beauty (time well spent), we know there is much more to you. You are an air sign, which means you’re interested in ideas, communication, reading, and of course, beautiful fonts and writing. This week your sector of learning is activated as a pile up of planets here suggests you pick up that short course, embark on self-study, teaching, or that distance course. Venture into your local community or area, share ideas, pick up on what’s trending, or just organize your besties for a variety of holiday season socials. Themes for this season are radical truth, honesty, and a love of anything foreign. Of course, you bring a natural talent for delivering truths with a healthy dose of charm. It may be up to you to mediate and soften the sharp truth bombs of friends who aren’t so socially smooth. That said, you’re able to be a little more direct right now, so get your message across to the people that need to hear it.
As the planet of communication rolls into your sphere of finance, values, and possessions, a persistent urge for freedom is setting in. Perhaps less “stuff” feels liberating. Travel lightly by focusing on your most prized possessions rather than a maximalist approach. Peel off what you don’t need; hit eject on dust collectors or items weighing you down in mind, body, or spirit. Of course, more is more when it comes to income, and right now your optimistic, can-do approach is favoured. Seek wise counsel and develop a vision for your financial future, and expand on what you thought was possible. Bring your ideas, relating style, charisma, and magnetic charm to what you do, and appreciate these natural resources. Perhaps taking up more space to spread your wings is your calling. Get in touch with your values as a guiding mechanism over this month of spontaneity.
Mercury is the winged messenger, and this Thursday it heads into your sign, making up a flight crew of four planets all in Sagittarius. Your ability to communicate your sense of self, ideas, and intellectual fecundity is on hyperdrive, so you’ll need to decide on a direction. Otherwise, you’re likely to scatter your mind, ideas, or energy. That said, your nature is to set out on spontaneous adventures of the mind, body, spirit, and of course, friendship. Add love to the mix as Venus is also in your sign. Step out of the mundane, regular, and expected lanes to reroute. Your plans may be changing, and that’s okay. Sometimes we start with a basic outline, then fill in as we go. Just make sure to balance it with a due date for nailing that plan, so you have a steady target or three to aim for in the coming year.
As the planet of communication activates your sphere of dreams and liminal spaces, it’s time to be your own guru and find the truths you seek from within. The MO is relentless restlessness—and radical honesty with yourself, and with your higher self, for that matter. You like to be the best you can be, so this is your time to scour far and wide, to chase up all sorts of intuitive inner vision and experiences. Toward the end of the month, you’ll structure these in your usual pragmatic, useful, and let’s face it, lucrative way. For now, though, explore, learn, laugh, and love your unique bridge to in-tuition. While you may like to lose yourself through the regular party routes over the holiday season, be the psychonaut and balance with sustainable routes like mindfulness, guided meditation, etc.
You are officially the activities officer this month, Aquarius. Your natural inclination toward groups and social experiences is completely at home in this season of the centaur. Explore social connections and networks as wide-ranging as you wish; the more and further the better. Friend of a friend of a friend? Yes, meet up. Ask others to connect you with like-minded souls. Then bring them together, because more is more through the holiday season and preseason. If you’ve been in your routine for way too long, this month, variety is the spice of life. It’s much easier to jump track out of that well-worn groove and head toward fresh fields of discovery. A lecture, band, new bar, art show, or work party are all opportunities to mix it up. While you’re out and about, radical honesty as well as intellectual and physical freedom are values you can embrace, so why not go with the cosmic flow and trial your version. If you’re open to meeting a new bestie or bae, they’re waiting for you to cross paths and strike up a conversation!
The era of unicorns and millennial pinks is having one last blast as your ruling planet, nebulous Neptune, swings out of retrograde in your sign. Since Neptune has been in its home sign, Pisces, since 2011, you’ve been more sensitized than usual. Meanwhile, the world has gained an awareness of highly sensitive people, forayed into esoterica like tarot and astrology, practiced mindfulness, and escaped reality en masse through social media and its inherent addictive qualities. From now until late January, find your flow, drop into your most rarefied, highly attuned, artistic, spiritual, and empathetic self. Be ready to carry forward into a new era that will be far more robust and physical rather than psychically sensitive. For this week, though, your career and public-facing sphere deserve your attention. Focus on communication, showing up in all your glory, and pursuing beauty, pleasure, truth, and friendship. If you prefer to hide away, push on. Studies show even introverts get into the zone once they’re at the party!

The atmosphere at Ulla Johnson’s showroom on an early December morning is “very full on.” The designer’s Madison Avenue boutique opened earlier this fall, and she’s just signed an international lease and agreed to her first concession at Galeries Lafayette. Plus, there’s a debut fragrance to be rolled out in Q2 next year, and a potential optical launch that’s in the discussion phase.
Johnson never slows down. It’s safe to say she’s no longer just the girl you go to for a boho dress. In fact, she reports, denim is her top-selling sell-through for both DTC and wholesale at the moment. “It’s exciting because it takes a long time to get traction in something like that, especially when you’re known for frocks. Which we still love. But we really wanted to balance something very ethereal with something that feels quite sturdy.”
Consider the juxtapositions in the first few images of this lookbook. In one, a model wears a suede tunic with suede flares, in complementary spicy colors. (Leather is a big performer at the new Madison Avenue shop, Johnson shares, but she prefers suede for its all-season versatility.) Up next: a dress of sheer mesh with fine embroidery decorating its bodice, the skirt a cascade of tulle, that is suede’s diaphanous, weightless polar opposite.
A pre-season collection has to cover a lot of bases because it lingers in stores and online longer than the main-season collections do. “Is it packable?” That’s one of Johnson’s non-negotiables, so she leans on jacquarded compact knits (note the shell motif) and a papery technical fabric with the airiness of taffeta for both dresses and matching sets. As ever, fabric development is what really gets Johnson’s heart pumping. Two of this season’s highlights are the subtle shibori prints in deep shades of indigo and a standout blurred floral ikat spot-coated with a foil treatment.
