The Logbook

Whether you’re single, coupled up, or celebrating your best girls for Galentine’s, February 14th is the perfect excuse to indulge. And what better way to get into the spirit than with a festive makeup look? While bright, Valentine’s red is tried and true, we’re feeling particularly drawn to soft, satiny shades of pink and vibrant, monochromatic eye looks. Call it demure, call cutesy, pink makeup is universally flattering and perfect for embracing the season of self-love.

Whether cracked, chapped, or simply dull, dry lips can be uncomfortable and unsightly. Fortunately, with the right care, they’re easy to keep smooth and hydrated. Our hero right now is Lip Reset, MAKE’s overnight lip mask that’s as effective as it is indulgent. This deeply hydrating, occlusive formula transforms dry, flaky lips with intense moisture and a boost of suppleness. Use it as a leave-on treatment at night or as a daytime lip balm for continuous hydration, nourishment, and a healthier-looking pout. 

Brows are often-overlooked but are one of the most important facial features. Your eyebrows frame your face and can make your eyes appear wider and more awake, depending on how you shape them. I like to start with brows because I think they create a great framework for your face but also the makeup look to follow. Regardless if I am doing a full look or a no makeup day, brows are a step I never miss.

Fall is synonymous with bold, dark lips. Call it burgundy, berry, crimson, or oxblood – ‘wine-stained’ lips make their annual orbit for good reason. By September, we're more than ready to embrace moodier, richer hues. As primary red takes over everything this year, dark reds feel like fall’s answer to the trend—chic, elevated, and perfectly attuned to the new season.

Pomegranate makeup is the elevated version of this summer’s dewy blush trends. It feels fresh, and radiant but with a slightly darker red/berry blush and a few faux freckles as a nod to the tart, seed-packed fruit.
