Like the song itself, the brand new video for the Rihanna, Kanye West, and Paul McCartney collaboration "FourFiveSeconds" is naked and stark. Director Inez and Vinoodh seem to think that when you've got three mega stars at your disposal, that's pretty much all you need. Stick a camera in front of them and they'll do the rest. And they're right. Kanye West bringing the same intensity to this ballad as he does to an arena show; Rihanna, with her no-makeup makeup look, is a flawless vision of perfection; and Paul McCartney barely needs to move a muscle—he's Sir Paul McCartney. Also, it was just announced that the new supergroup will be performing their song at the Grammys this Sunday, so that's fun. Check out the video below. 

Have you ever looked at Drake and thought Wow, he looks like Voldemort, one of the most notorious villains in Young Adult history, or looked at HAIM and thought, They always look like they're orgasming? No? Well, apparently someone else did and they decided to put those not-so-nice thoughts on Twitter. Jimmy Kimmel rounded up the aforementioned tweets, along with a few more, and asked some of your favorite musicians to read them out loud. Because if you've seen the Lifetime movies and/or perused Facebook, you know that social media is equal parts entertaining and cruel.

In this special music edition of #MeanTweets, Josh Groban, Drake, Lady Gaga, Sam Smith, Jessie J, Blake Shelton, Haim, Wiz Khalifa, Ed Sheeran, Iggy Azalea, Pitbull, Sia, Childish Gambino, Britney Spears, Ariana Grande, Jason Aldean, 5 Seconds Of Summer, Katy Perry, and Psy all read negative tweets— most of which revolve around poop/farts/d*cks. In case you were wondering where our society is headed...

If you know someone who pours their life into fighting for social justice, listen up: Bespoke clothiers Bindle & Keep and Ace Hotel New York have created the Beyond Measure campaign in order to award three activists their own custom-made suit and dress shirt, as well as a night's stay in New York City's Ace Hotel. Because even activists need to look fabulous—and what better way than with a custom-made suit? 

A suit is more than just another wardrobe piece—it helps individuals to look and feel their best, giving them the confidence to go forth and work for what they believe in. New York-based Bindle & Keep stands out as a company dedicated to helping all people to exude self-love and poise by tailoring their custom suits for everyone, regardless of gender, orientation, or physique. “Naturally, clothing is an expression of the individual personality," says Derrick Ableman, Director of Marketing at Bindle & Keep. "But truly custom suiting can be like having your beloved family piano tuned by Carnegie Hall's in-house technician. Once brought together and harmonized, the wearer's self will sing out more clearly and resonate farther than ever before.” 

The company's notable work in the LGBTQ community will also be the subject of an upcoming HBO documentary produced by Jenni Konner and Lena Dunham.

Submissions to Beyond Measure are accepted until February 15 at 11:59pm EST and are open to everyone in New York City or the surrounding area. Nominations should describe how nominees pour their hearts into their work for social change and can include pictures, links, press, mixtapes, testimonials, and more. Judges JD Samson, Murray Hill, Eliza Byard, and dapperQ will select three winners who deserve some new threads to keep fighting the good fight.

Nominate someone you know here and let them know how much their work means to you.

Everything is pink and red and everyone looks in love... No, you're not in the middle of a nightmare—Valentine's Day is approaching. Although you've been conditioned to think red lace skirts and pink tulle dresses are the perfect romantic date night outfits, you're not one to go the traditional (read: cheesy) route. With that in mind, we created six totally crush-worthy looks that you can rock year-round. (PS — They're also kind of perfect for an anti-Valentine's Day Netflix binge session.)

Roses are red, violets are blue, check out our fave looks in the gallery and make all of your Valentine's come true...

After two and a half years of marriage, It-girl Agyness Deyn and actor Giovanni Ribisi have called it quits. People reports that the Selma actor filed for divorce from the English model on December 28, because of "irreconcilable differences." 

While Deyn, 31, and Ribisi, 40, are no strangers to the spotlight, they kept their relationship quiet throughout their courtship, even managing to have their June 2012 wedding on the down-low. The two do not have any children together, so they will simply have to split their assets. Still, this was the first marriage for the Deyn, while Ribisi separated from his first wife Mariah O'Brien (with whom he has a 17-year-old daughter) in 2001. 

Despite the heartbreak that might be going on behind the scenes, Ribisi and Deyn are both currently experiencing professional successes: Ribisi is taking on a rom-com with his upcoming indie film Results, which just made its premiere at Sundance, and Deyn is also appearing on the big screen as an epilepsy sufferer in the film Electricity.

Contrary to popular belief, the feminist movement isn't just about demanding equality of the sexes: Over the past few years, it has evolved to signify the exploration and expression of sexuality, social "norms," and, all-in-all, identity. If there's anyone who has helped shape this newfound meaning, it's Petra Collins. Now, in addition to her dreamy images, controversial designs, and girl-gang mentality, Collins is investigating the female self in her latest project, Making Space.

To create the three-part documentary series, Collins road tripped across the southern United States with her sister Anna and Me and You designers Julia Baylis and Mayan Toledano. While traveling from New Orleans to Death Valley with BB Dakota for their new #ITSONLYFASHION initiative, they documented teen dancers to explore how dance affects self-expression and female body image. "Dance commands space and physicality and those two are rarely things girls are allowed to explore/own," says Collins. "I experienced a lot of self-hate/self-esteem issues as a teen and dance was one of the things that freed me from that. I could channel all my angry, nervousness, and excitement into dance and create a space of my own."

How Collins sums up her road trip experience:

While venturing through the Deep South, Collins and her team witnessed how the recent prevalence of feminist ideals has affected young women. "My sister and I went into it thinking the girls would be struggling with the same issues that we struggled with and sort of based our narrative around that," says Collins. "But each girl ended up being so strong and empowered it got me so excited about the next gen of women."

As more and more artists study expression, the meaning of the word "feminist" will continue to change. And that's a really exciting thing. As Collins says, "We're experiencing an age where gender is becoming fluid—who you are is way more than just your gender." Watch behind-the-scenes footage from the creation of Making Space below, then check out Collins' rad road trip playlist.

And now for your daily dose of 50 Shades of Grey news:

Bringing a popular book to the screen is one of Hollywood's toughest magic tricks, and it doesn't always go so well. Not only do the filmmakers have a legion of obsessive fans to contend with, but the story's original author is often super possessive over their work—as they should be—which can lead to some ugly clashes with the director. This is essentially what happened on the set of 50 Shades of Grey, according to a new interview that director Sam Taylor-Johnson gave to Porter magazine. "It was difficult, I'm not going to lie," the British filmmaker said of working with 50 Shades writer,  E.L. James. "We definitely fought, but they were creative fights and we would resolve them. We would have proper on-set barneys, and I'm not confrontational, but it was about finding a way between the two of us, satisfying her vision of what she'd written as well as my need to visualize this person on screen, but, you know, we got there."

On top of being a director, Taylor-Johnson is an accomplished visual artist, and had very specific ideas of how the movie should look. This didn't always vibe with James. "I knew how it should be made, needed to be made, and I felt a certain responsibility to make it the right way," Taylor-Johnson said. "I felt it was an incredible story. It's like a dark twisted fairy tale, very romantic, and it was interesting how troubling it was, and how romance and the darkness interweaved." 

Kylie Jenner is a wearer of many hats. And by hats we mean hair colors. But shockingly enough, the rainbow hair icon's most recent hue isn't so bright, as she opts for a more natural look in the latest issue of Love magazine.

Kylie isn't the only Kardashian to grace the pages of Love: sisters Kendall and Kim both make appearences in Issue 13, which is available February 9, but the youngest of the klan is the only one to debut a new look. The change isn't too much of a surprise though, as by now we know that Kylie is prone to changing her hair every few weeks, days, or hours. You could call her a khameleon.

Pout-perfect and eyelids heavily lined, Kylie could be a modern incantation of Brigitte Bardot in the pages of the magazine with the addition of her new banged, honey-blonde hair. While the color and style fully suit the Jenner girl, we're not going to bother guessing if this look is here to stay. After all, Kylie does love her extensions (she even has her own line of them), so we wouldn't be shocked to find out that this new look is really just a perfectly styled wig. Fake or not, these blonde tresses are refreshing style for the 17-year-old. Alas, nothing gold can stay.

Jupiter Ascending hits theaters this weekend, and by all accounts, the new space opera from the Wachowskis is a hot, CGI-inflated mess. It does, however, star Mila Kunis, one of our favorite actresses on this planet or any other planet, and that alone is reason to pay attention. Don't forget: there was a time when it didn't look like Kunis would rise to post-That '70s Show relevancy, but along came Sarah Marshall, followed by a certain raven-colored swan, and the rest is history. And Kunis' enduring stardom has provided us with endless stream of perfect pop cultural nuggets. Here are some of our favorite  

Mila Kunis vs. Chris Stark

The internet exploded when Kunis turned the normally painful junket interview on its head by going off script, wanting to talk about anything but her movie, Oz: The Great and the Powerful. Her adorably nervous interviewer, BBC Radio 1’s Chris Stark, was the perfect foil as they educated each other on their countries’ drinking habits. The highlight comes when Kunis—the consummate professional she is—races through the stock answers she’s been giving all day as Stark, and all of us, watch in total admiration.

Mila Kunis’ Pregnancy Rant on Jimmy Kimmel

We’re not sure if this bit was Kunis’ idea or if it came from the Kimmel braintrust, but either way, she sells it effortlessly. Her rant against expectant fathers saying “We are pregnant” is bang on, and even though it’s a comedy bit on a late night talk show, Kunis is speaking for women everywhere who do all the work of childbearing while their partners share the credit. "Stop saying 'we're pregnant,'" she growls. "You're not pregnant! Do you have to squeeze a watermelon-sized person out of your lady-hole? No." Ashton, you’ve been put on notice.

Mila takes gives painfully awkward interview

When it comes to giving interviews, Kunis is a total pro in not giving af, as evidenced by this brutal interview she gave to The Star-Ledger, where she repeatedly snaps at the journalist for asking her subpar, lazy questions that she’s answered in a million other publications. Granted, Kunis sounds like she was just in a bad mood, but the fact that she didn’t try and hide it is why we love her.

Mila Kunis defends Justin Timberlake in Russian
Kunis, who spent her early childhood in the Ukraine, is fluent in Russian and busts it out like a secret weapon in this incredibly awkward clip. In Russia with costar Justin Timberlake to promote their sex buddy comedy Friends With Benefits, Kunis zings a journalist who asks Timberlake why he’s doing movies. “Well, what would you rather have him do?” she asks the reporter as a bewildered JT looks on. Um, sing and dance?

Mila accompanies a Marine to his ball

Sure, saying 'no' to an actual Marine who asks you to be his date to the big dance would be cruel and heartless behavior. Lucky for Sgt. Scott Moore, Mila Kunis is neither cruel nor unusual. She is the opposite of those things, and accompanied Moore—after he asked her out on Youtube—to the Marine Corps ball for four hours of drinking, dancing, a picture posing. A good time was had by all, but especially by Sgt. Scott Moore.

The Hills Parody With James Franco

The Hills was a stain on the underwear of civilization, but if this Funny or Die parody starring Kunis and James Franco is what we got out of it, then the whole thing was worth it.

Her Black Swan coup

Yes, Natalie Portman deservedly won an Oscar for her role as Nina Sayers, but Mila Kunis shocked everyone by also getting the nom for the Gloves and the SAG, too. (The Oscars are notoriously snotty to former TV actors on their first go-round.) Mila won the coveted Emerging Performer award at the Venice International Film Festival, and Natalie's serious turn and pregnancy allowed lighthearted Mila to truly shine.

Macaulay Culkin?

The fact that this whole thing is documented in a series of That '70s Show tribute videos by random people on the internet: Aw?

This Aerosmith Video:

Look, Steven Tyler has had a lot of actresses star in his videos, and while this might not be the best (that goes to Alicia Silverstone), it certainly is the most late-'90s.

If you are anything like us, then the '90s (and, OK, the early '00s) were marked by a major obsession with Friends' Rachel Green.

GIF of the Day:

True story: I have been obsessed with aliens my entire life. I mean, as a living, breathing, freethinking human being, how could I not be? It’s f*cking terrifying being so microscopically tiny in comparison to the vast amounts of space that surround us. And also having no idea what else is out there that’s also living, breathing, and freethinking?! Anyway. This wasn’t supposed to turn into an existential discussion, so let's get to the point:

My aforementioned obsession with aliens served as the inspiration for my latest beauty opener shoot. I mean, how are all the cool girls doing their hair, makeup, and nails billions and trillions of light-years away from us? What does the most popular girl in the solar system look like? To help bring this wackadoodle idea to life, I enlisted my all-star beauty team to bring their ideas, creativity, and unrivaled imagination to the table—and together we created something truly out of this world. So shuffle through the gallery below and check out all the Instax mini shots I captured on set that day—and make sure to pick up a copy of our Feb ’15 issue and see the final product for yourself now! We come in peace, I promise.

Super Bowl half-time star Katy Perry graces the March cover of ELLE this month. The glossy sent Amanda FitzSimons down under with Katy as she performs the Australian leg of her Prisma tour, and despite the fact that her waist-length ponytail is noticeably absent from the cover, we're happy to find the interview revealed a more candid side of the pop phenomenon than we're used to seeing. The singer talked working with the NFL, meditation, and her colleagues in the industry. But perhaps the best part of the interview was her recant of a unique moment she shared with Adele.

"Adele is so real and couldn't care less about the trappings of fame. She came to a show at the Hammersmith Apollo in England and stole my after-show burrito. She's like [heavy British accent], 'How the f*** did you get a burrito in England?'"

Sure—the singer is bewitching on the cover and ticks every box FitzSimons bestowed upon her ("an eloquent talker, intensely likable, a strategic thinker, a micromanaging businesswoman, smart, and unfiltered"), but we just can't get over the image of Adele running up to Katy Perry and stealing her burrito. And are there really no burritos in England? Gasp.

This cover is well-timed: Whether you loved it or felt weird about it, Katy's controversial halftime performance is still fresh in our minds. Seems like the singer is destined to be a talking point for a little bit longer. 

Check out more of Katy's interview in the March issue of ELLE on newsstands February 17th.

The aughts were a wonderfully strange time: We were all trying to figure out how to use the internet properly (we still kind of are); we were all running around in Von Dutch trucker hats (some people still are); and we deemed everything "hot" (this meaning has changed somewhat thanks to various online dating apps). It was a decade that wanted freedom from outside influences, and was completely obsessed with creating new trends. 

Now, halfway into the '10s, it seems as if we're grasping at every nostalgic straw we can get our hands on: '90s chokers, '60s bell bottoms, Woodstock-esque festival wear... And, well, we kind of miss all of the sloppy aughts trends. We're not saying it's time to bring them back, but if you feel so inclined...

T-MOBILE SIDEKICKS

The T-Mobile Sidekick was essentially the precursor to the modern smartphone: It had internet access, a full keyboard, and a "sophisticated" swivel screen that was both obnoxious and addictive. The first was launched in '02 and the last generation (4G) was officially "retired' in 2012. R.I.P. to the massive phone and the millions of rhinestones wasted to "glam" it out.

STUDDED WHITE BELTS

Nothing screamed "punk-rock poser" more than a studded white-leather belt. And yet it was the aught's go-to accessory and kept destroyed light-wash hip-huggers PG-13.

MYSPACE TOP 8

The Top 8 was one of MySpace's many strokes of genius, none of which were genius enough to beat back Zuckerberg and his gang of thugs. If only we could rank our Facebook friends, life would be so much more...dramatic. We miss you, Tom.  

EYEBROW PIERCINGS

photo via getty images

Here's a theory: What if the true mark of a decade is the piercing that was popular during that time? For instance, the '80s were all about getting your lobes stabbed with mall-earring guns for your twelfth birthday. The '90s had giant, Joan Osbourne-esque nose hoops and, of course, belly buttons. The early aughts had eyebrow piercings—specifically, curved barbells. With gems in them. Purple gems. Oh, dear Goddess, someone please burn our yearbooks. 

THE SIMPLE LIFE

photo via twentieth century fox pictures

There was nothing real about this fish-out-of-water experiment premiering in the heart of reality TV mania, but who cares? Two privileged Beverly Hills brats basically parachuted into rural Arkansas is the stuff sitcoms are made from, and this show was essentially that. It turned Nicole Ritchie into a star—not a bad thing—and made Paris Hilton kind of likeable—basically an impossible thing.   

VELOUR TRACK SUITS

photo via getty images

Popularized by The Simple Life and Britney Spears, velour tracksuits (most specifically ones made by Juicy Couture) took over closets across America. Owning one was an accessible symbol of status, but the trick to pulling them off was a task in and of itself. The trick? Expose a little midriff and a whole lot of hips. Bonus if you paired it with your mini monogrammed Louis Vuitton pochette bag.

AWAY MESSAGES

Your AIM profile away message said a lot about you: Who you were dating (and the date of your first shared kiss), the angsty song lyric you identified with, the initials of all of your best friends, and (most importantly) the reason you were "brb"-ing.

SMARTERCHILD

Before there was Chatroulette, you would chat with SmarterChild—an automated inter-bot—on AIM. As Urban Dictionary says, SmarterChild was "a pretentious robot who believes it's better than you," which pretty much sums it all up.

UGG BOOTS

photo via getty images

Originally intended for surfers to wear post-waves, the sheepskin boots caught on in the mainstream U.S. after an injured Britney Spears wore them to the gas station. With her Starbucks cups in hand, she forever changed the face of aughts fashion and brought comfort into every household in America.

REALLY BIG SKATE SHOES

photo via getty images

Etnies and DC skate sneakers were the official shoes of mall rats everywhere. They were clunky, they were puffy, and your laces were essentially untied and tucked into your shoes—yet we were all somehow duped into thinking they were both practical and cool. Sigh.

TRIPLE FIVE SOUL

There was an internal argument whether 555 Soul (or Triple 5 Soul) peaked in the '90s or the '00s. This particular author went to a sample sale for Triple 5 in 2002 and the line was packed and a fight erupted over a cropped baseball jacket, in which said author briefly became a horrible person in order to procure said jacket. It is still alive today, albeit sans sleeves. 
Other brands of note: Akademiks, LRG, Phat Farm.

POINTY TOED HEELS

The sophisticated shoe for the sophisticated woman?

INNER RIM EYELINER

What was this? Why did we do this? Why were we like, "Let us paint as humanly possible to the eyeball as we possibly can, so our eyeliner looks like a watery eye infection waiting to happen"? Who started this? Can we riot?

MISSHAPES

Along with nightlife photography, Last Night's Party, and the Cobrasnake, NYC was home to an electro revival that was pied pipered by the Misshapes, a super-cool DJ collective who were known for throwing massive parties in Manhattan. The downtown vibe, along with their proto-usage of social media (they posted pictures the night after, where fellow partygoers were hoping to get snagged), perfectly summed up the early aughts. 

TRUCKER HATS

The trucker hat was largely made popular by Ashton Kutcher. Perhaps his greatest punk of all...

AMANDA BYNES, ACTRESS

The Amanda Show, Big Fat Liar, She's The Man, What I Like About You: All aughts classics.

BANDANA TOPS

Perfect for exposing your abs, the bandana top effectively covered a woman up just enough. Our question: Was the bandana top a cleverly disguised premature #FreeTheNipple?

MSN MESSENGER

After there was ICQ and before there was Gchat, there was MSN Messenger, or MSN for short. It was the last true messaging service before Steve Jobs made your cell phone a messaging service, and it was glorious. Was there a more thrilling feeling than seeing your crush online, practically begging you to message them? No, no there was not.

15 Things That Turn 10 This Year

Netflix has released the first trailer for their upcoming Marvel series, Daredevil, and it is no-holds-barred nasty. Based on the 90-second clip, which features grisly murders, weighty church scenes, and a little bit of the old ultra-violence, this latest edition of Marvel's blind-superhero saga is capital d Dark.

In case you skipped the 2003 Ben Affleck version (which we hope you did), the 13-episode series will tell the story of Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox), a lawyer who was blinded as a young child and as a result developed heightened senses everywhere else. Naturally, he decides to use those to fight crime as the titular Daredevil, eventually running up against Vincent D'Onofrio's Kingpin—who, in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, looks utterly terrifying here—in his attempts to clean up New York City's Hell's Kitchen. Rosario Dawson and Deborah Ann Woll also star in the series that drops all at once on April 10. This is going to be fun. 

Today in "Channing Tatum can do no wrong" news, the trailer for the Magic Mike sequel just hit the web—and it is predictably fantastic. Magic Mike XXL seems to have more of a sense of humor about itself than its surprisingly somber predecessor, because duh, it's a movie about dudes in thongs. But really, it's a movie about Channing and his Cock-Rocking Kings of Tampa—which includes returning cast-members Matt Bomer, Joe Manganiello, Kevin Nash, and Adam Rodriguez (but sadly no Matthew McConaughey)—hitting the road for one last bump and grind. The movie hits theaters on July 1, so get ready for some fireworks three days early. 

Knowledge is power, right? That's why we asked a stellar group of ladies who are no strangers to the spotlight to let us in on a few of their most treasured beauty secrets. Their answers left us enlightened and inspired, so we wanted to share them with you—because it’s good to know you’re alone in your quest for beautiful skin or your search for that perfect red lip. See what they have to say about sunscreen, how to use coconut oil for more than just cooking, and the revolution of the classic Vitamin C & E essentials.

ZOSIA MAMET

As an actress and songstress, Zosia is one of the most badass chicks around. She makes “pretty” look easy with fresh-faced beauty that she wears with the type of confidence you wish someone would bottle up and add to the beauty world, ASAP. Read what she has to say about her brows, red lipstick, and why you should always wash your face.

WHAT IS YOUR MOST SACRED BEAUTY RITUAL?

I know this isn't very special or interesting but washing my face is definitely my most sacred ritual. Something about the consistency of it is like an old friend. I know it's there every morning and every night to start and end my day and if I walk out of the house without doing it or try and go to bed without it something always feels off, incomplete. 

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR AMAZING BROWS:

Oh man, my brows. They were once MUCH thicker but like a stupid teenage girl I plucked them and then an evil witch lady over-waxed them once without asking me and it's taken YEARS for them to grow back. I dream of a day when they'll be back to my 13 year old brows yet again…A girl can dream. But for now I don't so much as pluck a stray hair. They are wild and free, just as they should be. 

FAVORITE LIPSTICK LOOK:

I'm not a girl who wears makeup. I hate taking it off, I hate the feeling of it on my face, I inevitably end up ruining my eye and getting it everywhere. But red lipstick, that's not makeup, that is a category unto itself. I discovered MAC’s Russian Red years ago and now never leave home without it. There's something about how a true-red lip will not only change your face but your entire attitude. It is my one and only beauty back-pocket trick.

REBECCA MINKOFF

Rebecca is the definition of gorgeous. The first time we met the designer and mama the second sentence out of our mouth was “You are SO pretty!” See what she says about that glow. 

WHAT IS YOUR MOST SACRED BEAUTY RITUAL?

I wouldn't say I have anything sacred with two kids and working full time, but when I get the chance to hit up a Korean spa, I am all about it. Juvenex in NYC is the real deal. If that's too intense I highly recommend Joanna Vargas for facials. She has a device that de-puffs your entire face in 30 minutes.

HOW DO YOU GET THAT INCREDIBLE GLOW, 24/7?

I still take prenatals and use June Jacobs skin cream only. I wash with Joanna Vargas face wash. Both give me the glow. 

WHAT'S YOUR SECRET BEAUTY WEAPON?

Sleep. I need at least seven hours to feel slightly normal. Water.

RACHEL KIBBE

Rachel Kibbe is the founder of Helpsy and an all-around do-gooder. See what she says about exfoliation and Fraxel. Oh, and why Retinol boost works wonders for your skin. 

WHAT IS YOUR MOST SACRED BEAUTY RITUAL?

Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate. And also drink a ton of water. I have combination skin so it's super-important that I keep really hydrated and also really exfoliated; otherwise it's a crime scene. I like to use a combination of retinol products and gentle facial scrubs, like Kiehls Ultra Facial Creme as well as hydrating masks and Daile Facial Moisturizer, which has a root in it that actually promotes DNA repair, first time ever used in facial care. I've also started going to the big leagues–fraxel and photo-facial treatments and hydro-facials. I love my doctor at Purely Natural Spa in Williamsburg—Dr. Cascya Charlot. She's a Harvard-trained skin-care ninja. She'll help you with whatever ails your skin and get you on a perfect regimen. When I travel I love bringing this vegan skin-care set by Osea—it has everything in it to keep my skin moisturized and refreshed in changing climates and altitudes. 

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE MATTE LIPSTICK OF ALL TIME?

I use Glossier Balm dotcom on the lips or any really dry areas. It's like homeoplasmine, which all the makeup artists and models swear by, but better. Since my skin is so dry I have a very hard time wearing matte lipsticks. I've heard Lime Crime mattes are incredible and I'm dying to try them. I’m really into NYX matte in Hippie Chic.They have some great inexpensive makeup if you're just trying out fun colors, which I'm doing right now, experimenting more with color. I love wearing their Primal Colors in Hot Pink as a cheek pigment. It's an amazingly vibrant, matte color; just a dab will do you.

WHAT'S THE MOST AMAZING BEAUTY PRODUCT YOU EVER TRIED OR WERE GIVEN?

Medik8 Retinol Boost. I use it a few times a week with Kiehls Ultra Facial Crème and it really helps my skin glow. Also Medik8 Vitamin C-Tetra once daily.

Also sometimes I use a derma roller  (I do it myself)—which is NOT for the faint of heart. It induces collagen production if done every four weeks for a year and is supposed to reduce signs of aging and heal scars.

LISA NGUYEN

As a stylist, Lisa defies space and time with her signature beauty look. We've never seen her without a black-lined cat eye and red lip. She wears the combo better than anyone we know and is the ultimate cool-kid. See what she says about fringe and who inspired her personal style.

WHAT IS YOUR MOST SACRED BEAUTY RITUAL?

Wear sunscreen, like Shiseido's Extra Smooth Sun Protection Lotion.

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR EYELINER AND HOW YOU DEVELOPED THIS STYLE:

My mother had a massive influence on my personal style. I developed my eyeliner look (using NARS) based on old photographs of her.

HAVE YOU ALWAYS HAD LONG HAIR AND WITH A FRINGE? FOR HOW MANY YEARS AND HOW DO YOU KEEP IT LOOKING SO GORGEOUS AND HEALTHY?

Yes I have always had long hair, for as long as I can remember! My hairstyle with the fringe started as a child, which is how my mother would cut my hair, so it traces back to when I was a toddler. As a teenager I experimented with lots of different styles and over the years I felt obligated to try something new. I would say for the past six to seven years I have never contemplated another hairstyle, I love it! I keep it healthy by routinely using hair serums and masques.

CIPRIANA QUANN

Urban Bush Babes Founder Cipriana has some of the most amazing hair of all time. And the girl really knows how to wear the perfect pink lip. See what she how she manages her beautiful locks, and what she uses to accentuate her lipstick color.

WHAT IS YOUR MOST SACRED BEAUTY RITUAL?

Besides having a healthy diet, which is crucial, my most sacred and cherished beauty ritual hands down (no pun intended) is just that—hands down: keeping my mitts off my face. As simple as this sounds, this ritual has saved me from a many of breakouts. You will be surprised the amount of germs you accumulate on your hands during the day while out and about, so it is impertinent to wash your hands before you touch any area of your face. I say all of this with risk of sounding like a complete hypochondriac.

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR INCREDIBLE HAIR!

Why thank you! Well my hair is my biggest accessory. I have been natural for 7 years, which means in the past I used chemicals, a.k.a relaxers and texturizers to alter my texture. Now instead of chemicals I use organic/all-natural products like Nature's Way 100% extra virgin coconut oil and Shea Moisture's 'Raw Shea Butter Reconstructive Finishing Elixir'. Though hair is aesthetics, the transition to natural was a physical manifestation of my inner confidence, acceptance of all of me and abolishing my old ways of trying to emulate a "stereotypical standard of beauty." Long story short, my hair completed me. 

YOU ALWAYS WEAR AN AMAZING LIP, BRIGHT OR NUDE. WHICH COLOR IS YOUR FAVORITE TO WEAR AND WHY?

I absolutely love lip colors, especially along the lines of fuchsia, red, and semi-dark natural pink spectrum. & Other Stories has an amazing line of lip colors that are not only moisturizing but sustainable with very little smearing. If I HAVE to choose, I would definitely go with a more natural tone. More subtle tones work for everyday wear since I love to highlight my mammoth size brows, and play with mascaras like Maybelline's Colossal line or L'oreal's Voluminous Original.

MIA MORETTI

DJ and style icon Mia literally looks flawless in everything she wears—in fact, her style has become an industry standard. Read how she uses Vitamin C, why she named a lipstick named after her grandmother, and where her hair inspiration comes from.

WHAT IS YOUR MOST SACRED BEAUTY RITUAL?

I love using Ling Skin Care's Hi- Vitamin C 12% Serum at night to renew my skin. Vitamin C has a naturally occurring ascorbic acid that works to brighten and even your skin tone, and you wake up looking completely refreshed. 

WHAT'S YOUR GO-TO BEAUTY LOOK, DAY OR NIGHT?

A clean face and a red lip. I designed a true-red lip color with a touch of shine for my Mia Moretti X MAC collaboration and I named after my grandmother who was always delightfully glamorous; it's called Maria Moretti. 

WHAT INSPIRES YOUR HAIRSTYLE FOR EACH RED CARPET APPEARANCE? HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHICH ONE TO GO WITH?

Usually styling my hair is the last thing I think about when I’m getting dressed, and it's one of the things that's more off-the-cuff. I'll play off of my dress, my lip color, my mood or the mood of the season, and I try to always like to have fun with it. Your hairstyle says a lot about the character you're getting into for the night, so once I've decided what that is, I just run with it. If I’m ever not happy with it, I never hesitate to pull it out and just tie my hair in a bun.

LEIGHTON MEESTER

Songstress, funny-woman, former NYLON cove star, and all-around babe; Leighton is the cats pajamas and pretty much has the most gorgeous skin we've ever seen in person. See what she uses to get her dewy and flawless complexion.

WHAT IS YOUR MOST SACRED BEAUTY RITUAL?

Applying sunscreen, rain or shine. I use Biotherm’s Lait Solaire.

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR FLAWLESS COMPLEXION. HOW DO YOU DO IT?

I have a regimen that I follow, morning and night. I like simplicity, so a gentle cleanser, moisturizing toner, and lotion with SPF is my routine. I'm also diligent about removing makeup before bed even if I'm tired. Other components, like staying hydrated, nourished, and getting enough rest play a big role too. I use coconut oil for makeup removal. It does wonders at removing everything without stripping or drying my skin. I also use it as an overnight oil treatment for my hair and on my cuticles and rough patches. And for cooking!

WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO MASTER DEWY LOOKING SKIN? 

I'm a big fan of BB cream. I use Biotherm’s Aquasource. For me, it just diffuses imperfections and lets your real skin come through. They usually have an SPF too, which cuts down on time and clutter. A highlighter is also an easy way to create a glow without being too bronzed and you don't need to be an expert to apply it. Tom Ford makes a really subtle liquid one.

CLEO WADE 

Cleo, an artist, has ombré hair that's truly out of this universe, not to mention that her beauty game has us like whoa. See what she does to get those custom locks and how she uses Lavender water.

WHAT IS YOUR MOST SACRED BEAUTY RITUAL?

 I am pretty devoted to Vitamin E oil and lavender water. I use them instead of moisturizer. 

 TELL ME ABOUT YOUR OMBRÉ LOCKS. WHAT IS YOUR INSPIRATION FOR THIS SIGNATURE STYLE?

I leave all things hair related in the hands of Riawna Capri at Nine Zero One Salon in LA. I am super low-maintenance. She knows I cannot sit in the salon for FOUR hours every month for upkeep so she created the juxtaposition of dark and light in my hair before the ombré craze really hit, mostly as a creative solution for me to not have to touch up more than twice or three times a year. She has a really creative and unique approach to what she does, which is amazing for me because my hair is super-curly and most people don't get it. It is a little crazy that I only get my hair done in L.A since I live in New York but Riawna lets me eat In-N-Out burger while she does my hair so it is all worth it.  

HOW DO YOU CHOOSE THE PERFECT RED LIPSTICK?

I have been wearing Dragon Girl by NARS basically since I was allowed to wear lipstick. It is the perfect red because it has a nice blue tone rather than orangey, which doesn't work for me. When I am feeling more dramatic, I like NARS' Mysterious Red. I don't like to wear a lot of face make up so a lip is where I have the most fun and to be perfectly honest, I have never met a bad mood that a little red lipstick couldn't solve.

ESPERANZA SPALDING

Musician Esperanza Spalding is a force to be reckoned with. Her effortlessly beautiful afro-hairstyle takes natural to the next level. See why her favorite beauty look is au natural and how she lets her hair do what it wants to.

WHAT IS YOUR MOST SACRED BEAUTY RITUAL?

Exfoliating my face, washing off all my make-up before I go to sleep and most importantly getting enough sleep! 

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL HAIRSTYLE. WHAT IS YOUR SECRET TO KEEPING IT LOOKING PERFECT ALL OF THE TIME?

Not trying to keep it perfect seems to be the key.  My hair tends to do what it wants, even when I strong-arm it with products, brushes, and pins. For my taste, healthy hair is beautiful hair, so I don't fight with it too much.  Whatever mood my hair is in (dry, extra curly, stretched out, knotted up) defines what style I'll be wearing on any given day.

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE BEAUTY LOOK AND WHY?

My favorite look is without makeup.  When I'm not performing, I don't wear makeup. I like the practice (especially in NY) of wearing my natural face. It builds a woman's confidence to walk outside, look people in the eye and be observed with no "beauty enhancements."  Also, when I know I won’t be concealing those blemishes, I'm more likely to maintain a healthy skin routine. This photo represents my favorite and most beautiful me.
