We Tried Celine’s Lipsticks

5 days ago | thecut.com | Asia Milia Ware

Photo-Illustration: by The Cut Last year, Celine launched a lipstick. Yes, one singular lipstick. It was a bright red with blue undertones: Rouge Triomphe. At the top of this year, the brand extended the collection to add 14 more shades: reds, pinks, nudes, and even one deep-berry shade. We tried them on six Cut writers and editors, and we were impressed. Some of us wouldn’t splurge on the $75 price tag for the lipstick ourselves, but it makes for a chic present.

Photo: Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for The Met Museum/ Megan Thee Stallion has been a redhead since January and tonight on the Met Gala red carpet she’s not only donning crimson tresses — we’re talking a high three-tiered ponytail. The hairstyle is inspired by Josephine Baker’s 1951 ponytail she wore during a performance. Baker was an activist, performer and the first Black actress to star in a film in the 1920s — and she is a major figure for Dandyism.

The New Era of the Black Hair Show

Photo-Illustration: by The Cut; Photos: BFA On the Friday night before the Met Gala, I entered the 26th floor of WSA’s Maiden Lane building to find a beauty frenzy. It was the type of chaos I’m used to seeing backstage before runway shows during Fashion Week, but this moment behind the scenes didn’t just feel like the same type of pandemonium — it felt like a family affair.

Jordyn Woods shaved the side of her head when she was 13 years old because, well, it was the “trendy thing to do.” At 27 years old, she’s not chasing trends anymore. Her beauty routines and wellness rituals include sauna detoxing, spending her mornings doing lymphatic-drainage massages, and indulging in skin care like Biologique Recherche face creams and Summer Fridays eye patches. “I love skin care, and I found what works for me,” she says.

Her skin would turn red and burn. “Whenever bumps and flare-ups came, I’d say, ‘Yep, I did it, it’s my fault,’” Bagdoshvili said. She believed that trying so many skin-care products was causing these flare-ups so she started using fewer products in hopes that a “less is more” approach to skin care would help her, but it didn’t.

Is Wearing an AI-Customized Wig Any Different Than a Normal Wig?

2 weeks ago | thecut.com | Asia Milia Ware

Photo-Illustration: by The Cut; Photo: Asia Milia Ware, Parfait I take my hair very seriously. It stems from my childhood: I grew up with a Black mom whose one beauty rule was “You don’t leave the house with your hair undone — ever.” That rule has trickled into adulthood, and whenever I’m having a bad hair day, it affects my entire mood. I work out daily, so the chances of having sleek hair every day are low. When I was in college, there was an easy fix (throw on a hat and keep it moving).
