Product Insights & Style Tips

The HOURGLASS No. 16 Highlighter Brush lands at that intersection of form and finesse, channeling a kind of understated luxury that’s become second nature to the brand. The silhouette is sleek and modern, with an airy fan shape made from dense, supersoft vegan fibers. Think flawless blending and featherweight touch—the kind that hugs cheekbones without ever disturbing what’s underneath. The lightweight aluminum handle feels at once substantial and barely there in the hand, making each sweep as controlled as it is effortless. It’s precision with a sense of ease, elevating the ritual of highlighter application from routine to elevated artistry.

This brush adapts beautifully, whether you’re amping up radiance for late night gallery openings or dialing it down for daytime glow. The stippled bristles give just enough structure to build pigment, but with all the diffused ease that highlighter asks for. It glides easily over bone structure and pivots neatly to nose or brow, catching light exactly where you want it. The brush doesn’t overpower smaller palettes or crowd your vanity; it fits in seamlessly and rises to the occasion whether you’re working with a gel, cream, or powder formula.

Hourglass has built its reputation on cruelty-free, vegan excellence—each tool feeling as thoughtful as the brand’s cult complexion products. The No. 16 is a natural extension: editorial, minimal, completely attuned to the modern beauty landscape, and ready to slip right into the everyday routine of anyone who cares as much about process as payoff.

Balenciaga Fall 2026 Collection, Portrait Collar Coats, Draped Dresses, and Hourglass Bags

Balenciaga Fall 2026 marks Pierpaolo Piccioli’s continued direction for the house, combining structured outerwear with a focus on human perspective. The show unfolded in a darkened space in Paris, where large scale video projections introduced a narrative tied to contemporary culture. The collaboration with filmmaker Sam Levinson shaped the atmosphere. Visual sequences featuring landscapes and close up portraits created a backdrop that framed the collection’s focus on observation and identity. This direction aligns with the brand’s ongoing engagement with cultural storytelling across its runway presentations. The collection builds on Balenciaga’s heritage. Cocoon silhouettes, first established by Cristóbal Balenciaga, return through coats and jackets, reinforcing a connection between archive references and current design.

Alexa Demie Makes A Case For Clean Girl Makeup

Beauty has been leaning experimental lately – think avant-garde placements, heavy kohl, and a grunge-leaning edge that feels deliberate and raw. Some are quick to declare the clean girl era officially dead, but we’re not entirely convinced. Maximalism and minimalism can coexist, and sometimes the most impactful look is the softest one in the room. Case in point: Alexa Demie stepping out on the Euphoria red carpet with clean girl glam that felt fresh and almost ethereal. It’s a stark contrast to her character Maddy’s signature heavy-handed makeup, which makes it even more striking. Consider it a compelling argument for why clean girl beauty deserves another moment right now. Ahead, exactly how to recreate it.

The Secret To Alysa Liu’s Signature Eyeliner Look

Booked, busy, and fully stepping into the spotlight after her winter Olympics win. While her striped, dyed hair is an obvious standout, her signature dark, fully rimmed eyeliner is equally part of her look. It’s edgy but feminine, hitting that coveted balance that looks easy but actually requires precision. Here’s the secret: without the right technique, this look can turn into smudged territory fast. The key is knowing where to place the liner and how to build intensity without it bleeding or fading. Ahead, how to recreate Alysa Liu’s go-to liner like a pro.
