Rare Beauty reveals Selena Gomez's favourite makeup products
Imagine having Selena Gomez as your boss. For Rare Beauty's Chief Product Officer, Joyce Kim, this is her day-to-day reality. And according to Joyce, even after six years of working together, the buzz of receiving FaceTime calls from the international superstar still feels 'bonkers.' The LA-based businesswoman was recently in Sydney as the keynote speaker for the Vogue Codes 2025 summit and during her speech she revealed some surprising facts about the pop star. For instance, Selena is so dedicated to her beauty brand, she often spends her weekends dressed in disguise and hanging out at her local Sephora. 'She sneaks into the store, usually wearing a mask, stands near the Rare Beauty gondola and just listens to what customers are saying,' Joyce told the audience. While she was in town we got the chance to pick Joyce's brain on all things Rare Beauty - from Selena's favourite makeup hacks, her must-have beauty products and the one beauty item that was the most frustrating to perfect. WHAT'S SELENA GOMEZ LIKE AS A BOSS? 'She's so dreamy, I don't know how else to describe it. Being in her physical presence is dreamy. She's so kind and so vulnerable. She makes you feel like you were the only person in the room… it's so romantical.' WHAT'S THE ONE PRODUCT SELENA USES EVERYDAY? 'The Brow Harmony Flexible Lifting Gel, it's her go-to jam. She uses it every day. She needs to leave the house with her brows done and that's her little black dress of 'I feel put together'.' Brow Harmony Flexible Lifting Gel, $34 at Sephora WHAT OTHER PRODUCTS ARE IN SELENA'S MAKEUP ROUTINE? 'Her makeup artist, Hung Vanngo, is the best and he uses a lot of Hope and Happy on her - he likes a tonal look. So if it's Hope on the cheek, he'll do Hope on the lip in the soft pinch lip oil.' Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush (Hope), $45 at Sephora Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Luminous Powder Blush (Hope), $48 at Sephora WHAT ARE YOUR THREE BEST BEAUTY HACKS? 'First one is layering liquid and powder blushes. I love blush. I love that it makes me look alive. I love a liquid blush and then a powder blush right on top of it to really hold it in and set it in place.' Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Luminous Powder Blush (Happy), $48 at Sephora 'Second one is I like to use a fluffy eyeshadow brush for my concealer. I think it gives it more of an airbrushed look verse just a flat foundation brush.' 'And I love to use bronzer as a little hit of eyeshadow on the crease to give it a little bit of depth.' WHAT'S YOUR CHEAPEST BEAUTY HACK? 'This is very questionable, but I love Johnson & Johnson Baby Lotion. I know it's crazy. I use it for my daily moisturiser. I also use it to remove eye makeup if I don't have an eye makeup remover with me, it really breaks down waterproof eye makeup. And also, this is kind of gross, but I also use it to shave.' WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE MOST COMMON MAKEUP MISHAP? 'Skip sunscreen. Oh my gosh, I meet so many people that don't use sunscreen. You've got to put the sunscreen on, from your forehead down to your shoulders.' Always read the label and follow directions for use. Prolonged sun exposure should be avoided. WHAT PRODUCTS ARE YOU IN YOUR MAKEUP ROUTINE? 'I'm a tinted moisturiser girl. Obviously I'm a little bias but I love our tinted moisturiser.' 'And for blush, I have Hope with a layering of Cheer on top in the luminous blush that has a little bit of shimmer.' Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Luminous Powder Blush (Cheer), $48 at Sephora THE ONE ITEM THAT'S ALWAYS IN YOUR HANDBAG? 'My lips are really dry all the time, so I have to have some sort of gloss balm. I love our Stay Vulnerable Glossy Lip Balm. It is like a dark horse. It's got that really lovely balmy, cushiony texture, hint of colour.' 'Hair. I use Pureology shampoo and conditioner. It is such a nice lather. It's so luxurious.' Pureology Hydrate Sheer Shampoo, $44.25 (down from $59) Pureology Hydrate Conditioner, $47.20 (down from $59) at Adore Beauty 'Kerastase hair masks are also really good. My hairdresser just told me to get the Kerastase men's thickening version.' Genesis Homme Bain de Masse Épaississant Thickening Shampoo for Men, $60 at Kerastase Paris WHAT PRODUCTS ARE IN YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE? 'I use a lot of SkinCeuticals, especially their Blemish Defence because I still get adult acne.' SkinCeuticals Blemish + Age Defense Serum, $116 (down from $145) at Adore Beauty 'I also use their CE Ferulic, which is like a vitamin C.' 'And I LOVE Tatcha.' 'I also love the Biodance collagen mask. I literally will sleep in it for eight hours, I'll wake up, peel it off and I feel younger.' Biodance Bio Collagen Real Deep Mask, $29 at Amazon Australia WHICH PRODUCT TOOK THE LONGEST TO PERFECT? 'Mascara. It's such a fine balance of formula, brush wiper and the type of lashes you have. It's so personal. For the development, we tried 30 iterations of different formulas and brushes.'

Leonard Lauder, philanthropist who globalized family cosmetic business - Estee Lauders Companies, dies at age 92
NEW YORK — Leonard Lauder, a renowned philanthropist who expanded the family cosmetics business into a worldwide empire, has died at the age of 92. Estee Lauders Cos. announced the news in a release on Sunday and said he died on Saturday surrounded by family. Lauder, the oldest son of Estee and Joseph H. Lauder, who founded the company in 1946, formally joined the New York business in 1958. Over more than six decades, Lauder played a key role in transforming the business from a handful of products sold under a single brand in U.S. stores to a multi-brand global giant. He had held the title of chairman emeritus at the time of his death. Estee Lauder's products are sold in roughly 150 countries and territories under brand names including Clinique and Aveda, according to the company's latest annual report. The company generated sales of nearly US$16 billion in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the filing said. Estee Lauder went public in 1995, but members of Lauder family still have about 84 per cent of the voting power of common stock, according to the latest annual filing. Lauder served as president of The Estée Lauder Cos. from 1972 to 1995 and as CEO from 1982 through 1999. He was named chairman in 1995 and served in that role through June 2009. Under his stewardship, Lauder created the company's first research and development laboratory, brought in professional management at every level, and was the impetus behind The Estée Lauder Cos.' international expansion, helping to spearhead the company's sales and profits exponentially, according to the company. Lauder led the launch of many brands including Aramis, Clinique, and Lab Series, among others. Until his death, he remained deeply involved in the company's acquisition strategy, including the acquisitions of such brands as Aveda, Bobbi Brown, Jo Malone London and MAC, the company said. During his years as chairman emeritus, Lauder was closely involved in the business and day-to-day operations and was a constant fixture at its global headquarters in New York and at its stores around the world until the time of his death, the company said. 'Throughout his life, my father worked tirelessly to build and transform the beauty industry, pioneering many of the innovations, trends, and best practices that are foundational to the industry today,' said William P. Lauder, son and chair of the board at The Estée Lauder Companies in a statement. 'He was the most charitable man I have ever known, believing that art and education belonged to everyone, and championing the fight against diseases such as Alzheimer's and breast cancer. ' Lauder was a longtime patron of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and, in 2013, pledged his 78-piece collection of Cubist art to the museum in the largest single philanthropic gift in the museum's history. He later added five major works to that pledged gift, the company said. In concert with his Cubist collection donation, he helped establish the Leonard A. Lauder Research Center for Modern Art at the Met to support a program of fellowships, focused exhibitions, and public lectures. He also was the Whitney Museum of American Art's chairman emeritus and a trustee from 1977 to 2011. Lauder was married to Evelyn H. Lauder, who had been the senior corporate vice president at the cosmetic company and the founder of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, from 1959 until she passed away in 2011. On Jan. 1, 2015, Lauder married Judy Glickman Lauder, a philanthropist and internationally recognized photographer. Lauder was born in 1933 in New York City. He was a graduate of the Bronx High School of Science, the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, and the Officer Candidate School of the United States Navy. Lauder studied at Columbia University's graduate school of business. He served as a lieutenant in the U.S. Navy and as a Navy reservist, for which the U.S. Navy Supply Corps Foundation later recognized him with its Distinguished Alumni Award. In addition to his wife and son William, Lauder is survived by his other son Gary M. Lauder and wife, Laura Lauder; five grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, many stepchildren and step grandchildren, as well as his brother, Ronald S. Lauder, and wife, Jo Carole Lauder, and their daughters, Aerin Lauder and Jane Lauder. Article by Anne D'innocenzio.

14 Best Korean Makeup Products to Know in 2025
While Korean skincare has taken the U.S. by storm, the best Korean makeup products deserve just as much of a spotlight.

'In Korea, it's a given that makeup needs to make your skin look amazing,' expert and former Allure editor-in-chief Michelle Lee tells Vogue. 'Makeup products tend to be quite affordable and have skin-care benefits, too,' Lee adds. Another defining factor of Korean beauty products? Customization. 'There tends to be more emphasis on personal color in Korea, so people typically know if they have a cool or warm undertone and know the details about the colors that suit their skin tone best,' says Lee. It's a culture where hyper-awareness of tone, texture, and finish informs every product choice—making the payoff feel perfectly tailored. Vogue's Favorite Korean Makeup Products In This Story Even aesthetics are considered down to the last detail.

We Tried $264 Of e.l.f. Cosmetics Products & Here Are Our Honest Thoughts
e.l.f. Cosmetics has come a long way as a brand. As a pioneer in affordable beauty, it has always been a trusted training ground for people who wanted to experiment with makeup without breaking the bank. Many of us still remember the days of blush sticks and eye shadow palettes you could grab for under five dollars. Somewhere along the way, the brand has evolved from our go-to for cheap makeup in a pinch to a well-respected source for products that offer impressive quality for the price tag. Just look up e.l.f. on TikTok and you will be inundated with effusive praise for the brand's 'dupes', which provide staggeringly similar versions of mega-popular makeup products for a fraction of the cost. Some recent viral bangers include the Halo Glow Liquid Filter (the more affordable twin to Charlotte Tilbury's Hollywood Flawless Filter) and the Glow Reviver Lip Oil, which gives Dior's $65 version a run for its money at a mere $18. Ahead, our editors have tested the brand's buzziest recent makeup and skincare drops, along with longtime favourites, to see which of them are deserving of a spot in your beauty bag. At Refinery29, we're here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team.
