Product Insights & Style Tips

The MAC Cosmetics 224S Synthetic Tapered Blending Makeup Brush channels a refined, editorial ease that instantly elevates a quiet eye. Its soft wispy fibres taper to a medium-sized dome, delivering sheer, buildable pigment with a light touch. The rounded tip holds just enough control for shaping the crease, while the synthetic vegan bristles feel featherweight on the skin, offering subtle diffusion that reads polished rather than heavy.

On the eye, the brush glides with minimal pressure, hugging the lid for seamless blending and soft shadow extinction of harsh lines. The shape allows precise contouring of the crease, brow bone, and even the nose, while sweeping or stippling yields a diffused veil of color. Lightweight and versatile, it transitions from daytime soft shading to evening smoke with ease, matching the mood without hijacking the look.

MAC professional brushes are hand-sculpted with vegan bristles and fiber technology that boost longevity, making this 224S a staple for editorial wear and everyday polish in The Cool Hour's edit.

Recommended Care

Daily care: Clean brush head using a soft cloth or towel dampened with MAC Brush Cleanser. Gently wipe brush head over the cloth until all makeup has been removed.
Weekly care: Wash brushes using MAC Brush Cleanser and warm water. Wet the head, keeping the brush head pointed downward to prevent water seeping into the barrel, as you gently massage the fibres toward the tip. Rinse well.
Care after washing: Carefully squeeze excess water from the brush head, wipe on a soft towel and gently arrange fibres back into their original shape.
Lay flat on a fresh towel and allow brush to dry naturally. Do not stand up or use until completely dry.

Beauty Trends & Makeup Tips

Mori Girl Makeup Is Korea’s Version Of Clean Girl

It’s no secret that the beauty world looks to East Asia for what’s next. From innovative skincare ingredients to viral makeup techniques, South Korea has become the mecca of all things beauty. Now, a new trend is taking over Korean social media called the Mori Girl makeup. The name comes from the Japanese word mori, meaning “forest,” and the aesthetic channels the feeling of someone who has just wandered out of a dense woodland. Think fresh, translucent skin, barely-there color, and an overall look that feels youthful. In many ways, Mori Girl makeup is a Korean take on the no-makeup makeup look, but slightly softer. Ahead, we’re breaking down exactly how to recreate the Mori Girl look at home.

Lacquered Lips Are Having A High-Shine Moment

Blurred skin and softly diffused lips continue to dominate beauty feeds, but summer is making a case for something far more high-impact: lacquered lips. The finish is glossy and impossible to overlook, giving even the most pared-back makeup look a sharper edge. Unlike softer lip trends that blur into the rest of the face, lacquered lips are meant to catch the light. The mirror-like shine feels almost graphic and that’s exactly what makes it so compelling. Best of all, the effect doesn’t require a complicated routine or a makeup artist’s skill set. With the right prep, pigment, and gloss, you can recreate the look at home. Ahead, the pro-approved steps for mastering lacquered lips.

The 90s Zigzag Headband Is Back In Rotation

From the yoga mom ponytail to stacked barrettes, hair accessories had a serious moment this summer. Now another nostalgic favorite is making its return – and it might be the lowest-effort trend of them all. The zigzag headband is back, with Hailey Bieber leading the revival as only she can. She’s been spotted wearing the throwback accessory in her latest Instagram photo dumps and her Miu Miu campaign, which at this point is all the confirmation anyone needs. The classic acetate or resin headband, defined by its signature zigzag teeth, grips the crown and pushes hair effortlessly back into place. On hot, humid days when the last thing you want is hair sticking to your face, it’s less of a trend and more of a solution. Ahead, how to wear it without looking like you stepped straight out of a 90s yearbook.
