Welcome back to Beauty Marks: Vogue’s weekly edition of the best moments in celebrity beauty, from Vogue editors’ IG feeds, and all the glam of the fashion and pop culture landscapes. Each week, we curate the nail art to pin for your next nail appointment, new recruits to ‘Team Bob’, and major red carpet moments from the week’s most glamorous affairs. As always, it’s as much about celebrity beauty as it is about the makeup artists, hairstylists, and nail artists, as well as the creators crafting the trends you’re about to see everywhere.
This week, hair was a major focus among the celebrity set: Kaitlyn Dever delighted in a tousled bob, while Addison Rae opted for a classical, early ’00s up-do. Rachel Zegler tried out a glossy half-up, half-down pony, and Doechii was every bit of a bombshell with curls that seemed to come with their own wind machine. Stepping out for London’s BFI festival, Jennifer Lawrence was confident in her perfectly coiffed bangs.
Scroll through the week’s best of celebrity beauty and pop culture’s glam below, and head to the app to vote for your favorite.
In case you missed them, we’ve rounded up our most popular stories of the week to help you stay in the loop. No need to thank us — just toast a hot apple cider in our honor when you’re discussing who did what over your pumpkin pancakes. Homepage photo: Paola Mattioli/Courtesy of Fendi Fashionista’s …

What our testers say: The brand’s Snail All in One Cream is a go-to for Wu. “The texture is one of my favorite things about this moisturizer: it’s slightly bouncy yet lightweight and nonsticky. It has an immediate subtle plumping effect and feels beautifully refreshing. I usually layer it over the brand’s Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence for a double dose of snail mucin (and skin that’s visibly dewy and plump),” she says.
If you or your giftee are new to the K-beauty, we highly recommend getting a taste of it with this four piece set from Peach & Lily. This starter kit comes with the Peach & Lily Gel Cleanser, Glass Refining Serum, Matcha Pudding Antioxidant Cream and Wild Dew Treatment Essence to soften, even out and refresh the skin. Bonus: all are in travel sizes so you can pop them into your toiletry bag.
What our testers say: Glamour’s Kilkeary always finds herself reaching for the Peach & Lily Gel Cleanser when she’s in need of a deep clean. “This pick is by far one of the best cleanses I’ve tried—it thoroughly removes every bit of makeup and gunk in my pores. It never leaves my skin feeling stripped or dry, either, and instead makes it feel soft, velvety and fresh.”

Laneige is our go-to for all things lip hydration. The brand’s iconic sleeping mask is one our editors won’t go a night without— and the good news is that this set contains three mini sizes with limited edition flavors: Chocolate, Caramel and Eggnog Latte. It comes with the brand’s new glowy lip balms in Vanilla and Sweet Candy, which we like to pair with a lip liner for a glossy finish.
What our testers say:“Laneige lip mask and balms glide on so smoothly and hydrate my year-round chapped pout. I wear the lip mask overnight and wake up with lush, hydrated lips,” says Glamour commerce editor Jenifer Calle.

We’re simply obsessed with this 10-step skin care set because it blends together some of the most well-known K-beauty brands, including CosRx ,TirTir, Abib, and more. Some standout products include the Hanskin Pore Cleansing Balm with AHAs, the Etude Moistfull Collagen Facial Toner and the Abib Jericho Rose Crème Nutrition Tube for a glassy, skin-firming complexion. We’re also a fan of the Pore Care Refining LHA Ampoule from Rovectin to help exfoliate and soften skin, and the Korean sunscreen formula as the last step in the routine.
What our testers say: One of our editor favorite antiaging products included in this set has to be the COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence. “I’ve used up several bottles of this essence over the years and love how it balances intense hydration with a bouncy yet lightweight formula. It’s perfect for imparting instant bounce to the dry zones of my combination skin without breaking me out or making my T-zone feel greasy,” says Wu.

Although technically not a gift set, face masks make great stocking stuffers, and any beauty lover will be happy find one Christmas morning. This popular Biodance kit comes with four masks: the original collagen one that our editors and EIC love (pink), hydro cera-nol (blue), sea kelp (green) and the brand’s latest caviar PRDN one (purple). Each mask is suitable for normal to oily, sensitive skin types and addresses skin barrier, dullness, and elasticity. It’s a great gift for your girlfriend who could use a little extra TLC during their nighttime routine.
