An ultra-juicy glossy in a multitude of shades.
Retailing for $25.00, Lancome’s iconic 2000s Juicy Tubes are back and better than ever. The new and improved gloss is positively jam-packed with hydration and shine that makes the lips look fuller without an overly sticky residue. Juicy Tubes boasts 10 shades and 4 hours of lasting hydration, enough to get you through Rodrigo’s sets. The secret is all in the petal-shaped applicator, built to deliver ultra-glossy shine in a variety of finishes from sparkly to cream and jelly. For best results, we recommend opting for a lip liner to create shape before piling on the gloss.

Retailing for $30.00, the mascara delivers a whopping 75% of length in just a few coats. It’s that simple.

With over 480+ nano-bristles, the brush works to separate each lash, creating volume and length without looking clumpy and crusty.

Perfect for festival season, Wet N Wild’s Chill Factor Cooling glitter stick features a cooling effect that will keep you nice and chill all summer long. But how is this possible? Most products like this utilize things like sea minerals and caffeine to create an instant cold sensation upon application — not to mention the stick’s pretty iridescent pink glitter finish, which reminds us a lot of Patrick Star. This product is extremely versatile, working on the face or body to instantly give off a sun-kissed glow. Blend in with your fingers and you’ll be shining bright in no time.

Want to get flushed cheeks as rosy as SpongeBob’s? Wet N Wild has you covered thanks to its Underwater Wonder liquid blushes. Coming in the shades “Perfect Square,” “Rock Star” and “Snailed It,” these blushes glide onto the skin, blending seamlessly with a brush or good ol’ fingers. The pigment in these is buildable, meaning you can control the finish when applied on the cheeks, chin and the bridge of your nose. Plus, the doe foot applicator allows for precision every time. We love the “Perfect Square” shade because its burnt orange hue is universally flattering and leans toward a more natural-looking flush.
Best Day Ever Glitter Body Illuminator
Irridescent liquid body glitter with a dropper applique.
The Best Day Ever Glitter Body Illuminator will have you glowing so hard you’ll likely be seen from space.

We recommend mixing this in with your favorite non-scented lotions or moisturizers for a seamless and subtle glow-from-within kind of look.

Justin Bieber is celebrating Hailey Bieber‘s wins.
Following the announcement that the model had sold her Rhode skincare company to e.l.f. Beauty for an eye-popping $1 billion on Wednesday (May 23), the pop star took to social media to champion his business-savvy wife in a sweet but subtle way.
On Instagram, Justin posted a glamorous photo of Hailey rocking a powerful white suit, as well as a screenshot of her own caption announcing the news on the platform. “When I launched @rhode in 2022, I always had big dreams for the company, and the most important thing to me is to keep bringing rhode to more spaces, places, and faces globally,” the mogul wrote on her page. “So today I am so incredibly excited and proud to announce that we are partnering with e.l.f. Beauty … a like-minded disruptor with a vision to be a different kind of company that believes in big ideas and innovation in the same way that I do.”
“I feel invigorated, excited and more ready than ever to step into an even bigger role as Chief Creative Officer, and Head of Innovation of rhode as well as strategic advisor to e.l.f. Beauty,” Hailey continued in her caption. “Thank you to the amazing rhode team who have helped me build over the years. I couldn’t have done it without all of you. And to our rhode community, thank you for being the most supportive and for being on this journey, this next chapter is going to be even more incredible together!”
Justin also reshared Hailey’s post on his Story.
Trending on Billboard
The businesswoman didn’t share the billion-dollar price tag of her sale in her post, but the 10-digit figure was reported by Wall Street Journal and Forbes. The latter publication breaks down the deal as being “$600 million in cash, $200 million worth of e.l.f. Beauty stock and a potential $200 million in future payouts based on the company’s growth over the next three years.”
The sale comes just three years after Hailey first launched Rhode, a venture for which Justin has been at her side every step of the way. The musician — who married Hailey in 2018 — has appeared with her at several events for the company, and in February, he shared photos and wrote on Instagram, “Congrats baby on your beautiful @rhode pop up.”
Hailey’s major money move also comes shortly after she appeared on the cover of Vogue, getting candid in the accompanying interview about her life — both as a woman in the public eye and as a new mom to son Jack Blues, whom she welcomed with Justin in August. The “Peaches” singer also shared a few thoughts with the publication, saying, “I’ve done a lot of dumb things in my life, but the smartest thing I’ve ever done was marry Hailey.”
Shortly afterward, he faced a bit of backlash for sharing on Instagram that he once told Hailey she’d “never be on the cover of Vogue” during a “huge fight” they had in the past. Justin has since removed the caption from his page, replacing it with a string of emojis, but he’d originally added, “Yikes I know, so mean … For some reason because I felt so disrespected I thought I gotta get even.. I think as we mature we realize that we’re not helping anything by getting even … So baby u already know but forgive me for saying u wouldn’t get a vogue cover cuz clearly i was sadly mistaken.”

Taylor Swift‘s iconic red lip is more attainable than ever thanks to Amazon.
The makeup choice has become a signature of the “Love Story” songstress’, becoming just as iconic to fans as snake emojis or Polaroids. Swift’s lipstick shade of choice has been pretty hard to pin down throughout the years, though eagle-eyed fans have hypothesized that her crimson hue could be from brands like Pat McGrath and Gucci in the past.
Lorrie Turk, Swift’s longtime makeup artist, spoke to the singer’s affinity for red lips and the mystery behind her chosen shade in a since-deleted Instagram Story posted back in 2024. “So many people asking about this lipstick that Taylor wears all the time,” Lorrie wrote. Turk revealed that Swift’s go-to red lippie hails from Nars in the shade “Morocco.” The plot thickens, however, because the specified shade is much darker than her iconic shade of red, which leans more blueish red, ala Marilyn Monroe.

Conspiracies aside, we’ve compiled a list of Swift-approved red lipsticks that might come close to the original.
Trending on Billboard
L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Lipstick in “British Red”
$6.99
$9.99
30% off
A red lipstick with a satin finish.
L’Oréal Paris’ Colour Riche line is an impressive display of pigment and staying power, a testament to the brand’s perfected formula. The line includes “British Red,” a bright red lipstick with a matte finish and a nourishing formula.
Matte lip products are notorious for drying out the lips, but not Colour Riche. This lipstick is infused with argan oil and vitamin E, ingredients that facilitate moisture rather than sucking it out of your lips. If you want the Swift-approved red lip look, you’ll want to reach for reds with a glossier finish. Something to note. No matter what shade you choose, Colour Riche packs a punch of pigment, so you’ll want to go for a light hand while applying this formula.
Wet N Wild Mega Last Matte Lip Color in “Stoplight Red”
A vegan matte red lip color.
There’s nothing more annoying than putting on a bold lip, only for the color to disappear into thin air seconds later. With Wet N Wild’s Mega Last lip color, re-applying your lipstick is a thing of the past. The product is formulated to last hours after application with nourishing ingredients like hyaluronic acid and vitamin A and E that protect the moisture barrier of your skin, allowing makeup to sit on the lips and stay there for longer.
Our color of choice for that perfect Swift pout? “Stoplight Red.” The hue is vampier than the singer’s usual, however, she doesn’t often stick to the same shade of red. As she’s explored different eras in her career, like Reputation and Evermore, Swift has adopted darker shades of her signature red to fit the mood and concepts she’s currently in.
E.l.f. O Face Satin Lipstick in “No Regrets”
$7.88
$9.00
12% off
A bright red lipstick with an embossed bullet.
E.l.f.’s O Face Satin Lipstick in “No Regrets” is a true blue red. When we think of classic Swift red, see 1989 and Red, this is it. This lipstick is a satin finish, somewhere between a matte and gloss, offering a subtle shine to the lips with maximum pigment.
Blue-red lippies are often extremely versatile, working well on a slew of different skin tones. We recommend using this product in tandem with a red lip liner of the same shade or slightly darker. You’ll want to feather in the lines of your lip for cleaner lipstick application.
Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in “Divine Wine”
$5.64
$7.49
25% off
A deep red lipstick in a matte finish.
Maybelline is best known for its impeccable lipstick creations at an affordable price. The brand’s Color Sensational lipstick in “Divine Wine” is no exception. Retailing for just $5.64, the lippie boasts a matte formula with an impactful deep red color payoff. The genius behind the brand’s Color Sensational lipsticks is their formula, which is hyperpigmented for maximum color payoff in just one swipe.
Pretty impressive, right? If matte finishes aren’t your thing, however, the Color Sensational formula also comes in satin and glossy finishes. As mentioned before, Swift’s lipstick mo is usually satin, so keep that in mind before purchasing.
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in “Love That Red”
$6.48
$10.49
38% off
Here’s another glossy pick, this time from Revlon. The brand’s Super Lustrous lipstick in the shade “Love That Red” is a dead ringer for Swift’s 1989-era red lip. The shade is almost blindingly bright and sleek, formulated with avocado oil and vitamin E to create a lipstick that delivers high-impact color while moisturizing. The key is microfine pigments that don’t weigh down the lips, leaving a comfortable finish. Madelyn Cline is also a lover of this lipstick, so you know it’s good.
Evpct Matte Liquid Lipstick in “Ruby Red”
A matte liquid lipstick formula in a vampy red hue.
Although liquid lips are polarizing, Evpct’s might just change your mind. Coming in the shade “Ruby Red,” the formula is truly matte, but with a lightweight texture that doesn’t feel sticky on the lips. Ingredients include vitamin E, beeswax and vegetable oil, all ingredients that work to hydrate the lips.
Evpct’s liquid lippie is more of a deep red but no less impactful than the other picks on this list. The doe foot is short and plump, offering the user added control for the perfect application every time. For a glossier look with this lipstick, we recommend layering on a clear gloss on top.

Lauryn Hill
For the star’s glam, makeup artist Alana Palau used MAC Cosmetics to create a stunning look. Palau describes Hill as the creative director of the appearance and said that she wanted to create a look that was an “homage to diasporic indigenous women.” To make that happen, Palau prepped the skin with Hyper Real™ Serumizer and the Hyper Real™ SkinCanvas Balm before moving in with the Studio Fix Every-Wear All-Over Face Pen in the shades NC45 and NC50. For concealer, Hill was rocking the iconic MAC Pro Longwear Concealer in NW50, as well as the Studio Fix 24HR Smooth Wear Concealer in shades NC45 and NC50. For blush, Palau used Powder Blush in the shades Raizin and Burnt Pepper, on top of the Strobe Beam Liquid Blush in Good Vibes.
To create the glowy eye look, Palau used the Connect In Colour Eye Shadow Palette and focused on the shades Future Flame, Unfiltered Nudes and Hi-Fi Colour. On top of those she used Dazzleshadow in the shade I Like 2 Watch for an added dash of glam. Finally, she topped it off with the long lasting M·A·CStack Waterproof Mascara. Hill’s bold lip color was a result of Palau mixing two Powder Kiss Liquid Lipcolour shades, including Rekindled and Make Love To The Camera. She then added Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolour in Caviar.

Makeup artist Ernesto Casillas created this look for Zendaya, which focused on a ’90s-style lip. To create the look, Casillas prepped the skin with Tilbury’s Crystal Elixir and Magic Cream before applying the Flawless Filter highlighter in shade 3 all over the face. He then used the Airbrush Flawless Foundation in the shade 6W and applied the Contour Wand in the shade medium for bronzer. To add a muted flush to the cheeks, he applied the Matte Beauty Blush Wand in the shade Pillow Talk and highlighted with the Beauty Light Wand in the shade Spotlight.
To create the perfect smoky eye look, Casillas used the new Rock ‘N’ Kohl eyeliner in the shade smokey bronze. This new line of eyeliners, as well as its corresponding lip liners, includes two colors in one pencil. To add some glitter and shine, he used the sensual sunset hue from the Beautifying Eye Trends palette. Finally, for the lip that set the mood for the entire look, Casillo used the Lip Cheat Contour Duo in the shade tan, and went over the liner with the Big Lip Plumpgasm gloss in the shade Diamonds. Finally, he set it all with the Airbrush Waterproof setting spray to make sure the look lasted throughout the night.

Ciara’s hair made this beauty look the winner that it was, and it was created by stylist Cesar Deleon Ramirez. “The vision was ultra-glossy, fluid and color-rich hair that photographs like glass under the lights,” he explained.
He started by washing and conditioning the hair with the Kerastase Gloss Absolu Bain Hydra-Glaze Shampoo and Gloss Absolu Insta-Glaze Anti-Frizz Conditioner. He explained that the conditioner is ideal for wigs and extensions as it adds such a boost of shine. According to Ramirez, the Chroma Absolu Soin Acide Chroma Gloss Hair Gloss is the hero of the look for its ability to transform texture. He applied it after the conditioner and then rinsed it out thoroughly.
For styling, he applied the Kerastase Mousse Bouffante Hair Mousse on the roots and up to the mid-length while the hair was still damp. This gave the look structure and helped it hold its shape throughout the evening. He used Kérastase Discipline Kératine Thermique as a heat protectant and then the Kerastase Genesis Homme Cire d’Épaisseur Texturisante Wax Pomade to tame any flyaways. For the final touch of shine, he added a couple drops of the Kerastase Elixir Ultime and sprayed it all with the Kerastase Laque Couture Hairspray.

André 3000 made a statement with his outfit, and makeup artist Alexa Hernandez helped complement the bold outfit with a fresh makeup look. She prepped the skin with M.A.C Fix Plus Matte and M.A.C HyperReal Skin Canvas Balm Moisturizing Cream, which she said “allows the product to be absorbed deeply leaving minimal product on the surface and sets the tone to the makeup ritual.” To make sure the under-eye area was fully de-puffed, she used the M.A.C Fast Response Eye Cream.
From there, she used M.A.C Studio Radiance 24hr Luminous Lift Concealer in shades NW 55 and NC63 to cover up any imperfections and to add brightness. To make sure the look remained oil-free, Hernandez used the M.A.C Studio Fix Foundation Powder Foundation in shade NW50. She topped it all off by adding moisture to the lips with the M.A.C Lip Conditioner, and she set the eyebrows in place with the M.A.C Pro Locked Brow Gel.

Charli is known for her long locks that somehow always look slightly wet and voluminous. To create these curls, stylist Matt Benns used two different hair tools from Wavytalk. He started by running a curling cream through damp hair, and then using the diffuser attachment on the Trublow hair dryer. He then used the two smaller sized barrels on the Curlmaker Pro curling iron to make sure the look wasn’t too uniform.
He explains that he pulled two pieces around to frame the face and twisted half of her hair into a messy bun. “It should feel romantic and a little punky twist,” he said. “It needs to feel really random, not symmetrical.” To top it all off, he added feather ear cuffs and actually glued some feathers onto the skin. He finished the entire look off with a texturizing and shine spray.

Sabrina’s hair was in its signature voluminous waves and featured coloring Laurie Heaps and Styling by Evanie Frausto. Heaps explains that she took slightly larger sections than normal and left more of her natural color out. To give it volume, Heaps used Redken Flash Lift with Bonder Inside and then used the Redken’s new Shades EQ Skylight Blonde in 8NV to gloss her roots.
For the style, Frausto started with Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Shampoo and Conditioner, and then applied the Acidic Bonding Concentrate Leave-In Treatment at the end of the wash. As he was blowdrying the hair, Frausto applied the Redken Volume Maximizer throughout the hair and the Redken Thermal Spray to protect her locks. He used the L’Oréal Professionnel AirLight Pro hair dryer, and pulled up the roots with a large round brush. Then he let the curls sit in large velcro curlers so that they were fully set. After removing the curlers, he went in with a curling iron using a 1 and 1/4-inch barrel and misted the Redken Dry Texture Spray from the mid-length to the ends. Everything was fully set with the Redken Max Hold Spray to keep her hair looking great all night.

If you’re a fan of super-shiny lips and glittery eyeshadows that capture the light, the disco glam trend is for you.
This trend has been showing up everywhere from music videos and movies to red carpets and at music festivals — it’s even transcended from a nighttime trend to an around-the-clock option. Celebrity makeup artist Hannah Jaclyn created a stunning disco glam looks on Miley Cyrus in the past, similar to the one seen in her new “Something Beautiful” music video. We spoke with different makeup artists to find out how to create this look so you can try out the trend for yourself.
How to Create a Disco Lip Look
To create a more sheer but glitter-heavy look, Jaclyn starts with a lip oil that helped smooth the lips so that the base was hydrated and devoid of any flakiness or texture. From there, she uses Jouer’s lip topper, which is super shiny and incredibly long-lasting.

If you want even more depth and shine, Urban Decay’s head of global artistry Steve Kassajikian explains how to use eyeshadow on the lips. While it may seem odd, he suggests starting by setting your lips with a translucent setting powder before applying your favorite lipstick. “Then take a loose or pressed glitter eyeshadow and press it against the lips with your finger and finish it off with a gloss,” Kassajikian told Billboard. “For depth, you can line the lips as well to give the glitter a bit of dimension.”

Kassajikian notes that liquid lipsticks are often known for their long-lasting qualities, so they may be the best option for music festivals when you need real staying-power. Here are the products recommended by Jaclyn and Kassajikian.

Both Jaclyn and Kassajikian suggest applying a base layer to the lid, either a cream or liquid eyeshadow or a primer intended specifically for the lids. This not only helps the glitter pop, but it will help the shadows really stick and prevent fallouts. “You can also use a powder glitter first and then use a liquid glitter on top with a fluffy eyeshadow brush,” says Kassajikian.
From there, press powder shadows into the lid with your fingertip or a dense flat brush. If you’re partial to a brush, Kassajikian suggests spraying it with a setting spray before dipping it in the shadow. To further prevent fallouts, apply a layer of translucent setting powder under the eyes so that any glittery particles can be swept away with a brush.

While hardcore Rihanna fans continue to patiently wait for new music from the bombshell from Barbados, Riri decided to get the internet in a frenzy, but it had absolutely nothing to do with a new track or album announcement.
On Tuesday (April 15), Rihanna had the internet buzzing when she announced her new Savage x Fenty Bridal collection complete with a photoshoot, featuring herself styling in some of the pieces set to release. Man did she stun! Rocking pink lingerie and a wedding veil, Rihanna demonstrates just how seductive her latest collection can be for any bride to be on her wedding night if they share the same physical dimensions as the 37-year-old superstar.
Naturally, her followers absolutely loved the look and flooded her comments section with praise and, well, thirst. So we wouldn’t be surprised if this collection flies off the digital shelves even if they aren’t engaged as they’ll be looking to make a visual impact on their partners in the near future.
That being said, this begs the question, could Rihanna be hinting at wedding bells for herself and her baby daddy, A$AP Rocky? What’s taking that man so long to put a ring on it? Seriously. Rihanna’s a classic beauty and she stood by his side during his gun trial throughout the proceedings. Lock it down already, bro!
Check out Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty Bridal collection, and let us know your thoughts about the look and photoshoot in the comments section below.
