In ELLE.com’s series Office Hours, we ask people in powerful positions to take us through their first jobs, worst jobs, and everything in between. This month, we spoke to Tina Chen Craig, the founder of U Beauty. Before she began the high-tech skin care brand in 2019, she had a diverse array of jobs, including

Two years ago during the Super Bowl, while I was mindlessly eating buffalo chicken dip and guacamole, something caught my eye that I wasn’t expecting. “Is this…a makeup commercial?!” I asked incredulously, turning up the volume on my TV to be sure. Indeed, it was: In an advertisement for e.l.f. Cosmetics, Jennifer Coolidge sat in

After a hectic start to 2025, I’m seeking small moments of self-care wherever I can find them. To me, skin care has always been therapeutic—the act of putting on serums, moisturizers, and masks feels meditative after I’ve spent all day (and often most of my night) looking at a screen. But lately, I’ve been wishing

Chappell Roan’s 2025 is shaping up to be just as dazzling as her 2024. The singer, who became a household name last year, is nominated for a whopping six awards at the 2025 Grammys; her album The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess is up for Best Pop Vocal Album and Album Of The

In between wrapping up her upcoming album, So Close to What, and preparing for her Miss Possessive tour that kicks off this March, pop singer Tate McRae has been crafting her alter ego. “I don’t really know what the switch is,” McRae tells ELLE.com. “Any time I’m in a studio, step on stage, or get

Spend enough time online and you’ll see videos speculating about which young stars have gotten facelifts. Whether or not it’s true, the curiosity seems to reflect a real-life trend: Patients in their 40s seeking lifts by their various names. There are facelifts (an overall term to describe surgery where skin is pulled back, repositioned, and/or

Conversation hearts on Valentine’s Day always say the same things—“Be Mine” or “Call Me” or “Ur Cute.” But we’re campaigning for a new phrase to be added this year— “Red Lips 4ever.” On the most romantic day of the year, there’s no better beauty product to reach for than red lipstick. Red lipstick has a

Throughout her album, Doechii refers to herself by many names: Doechii the Don, Little Miss Stanka Pooh, the Swamp Ruler, and so on. However, at the 2025 Grammy Awards, she proved that she is truly a standout in fashion and beauty, adding another title to her growing list: The Queen of Camp, if you will.

For 2025, Marc Jacobs is drawing inspiration from classic beauty—red lips, defined beauty marks, and rosy cheeks. The catch? In Jacobs’s world, no lipstick, pencil, or blush touched the models’ faces for his runway show at the New York Public Library. Instead, makeup artist Pat McGrath played with velvety fabric cutouts to achieve a dimensional

A Miley Cyrus award ceremony arrival includes a few certainties: a stunning, radiant face; a much-talked-about hairdo; and, as the 2025 Grammys would have it, a gorgeous outfit change for the actual show. As if her red carpet dress wasn’t already a win, Cyrus walked into the ceremony an actualGrammy winner, taking home the award

Rachel Roff, licensed esthetician and founder of Urban Skin RX, stresses the importance of washing your face before beginning any type of at-home treatment. “I recommend double cleansing and then thoroughly drying your skin,” Roff previously told ELLE. “No skin care products should be on the skin when dermaplaning.” Once you have dry, clean skin,

Miley Cyrus has been stunning the world with dark gowns and dramatic beauty looks this year, and tonight was no different. The singer stepped onto the 2025 Grammys red carpet in a black halter dress designed by Saint Laurent, accompanied by a sultry cat eye and stick-straight blunt bangs. By the time she got to

Although I’m now a firm believer that “less is more” when it comes to skin care, I wasn’t always this way. Years ago, in my youthful exuberance, I fully subscribed to the more is more mentality. When I had a pimple to treat, I would apply benzoyl peroxide five times a day. If I found

These eye masks aren’t just gold for show, they also infuse your under eyes with actual 24K colloidal gold to reduce inflammation, which can actually contribute to signs of aging over the years.

I know I just raved about how much I adore the Make eyebrow pencil, but the Merit one is just as good. There is one caveat: it breaks even if you roll it up a smidgen too far, which ends up wasting product and causing you to go through it that much faster. Other than
