Product Insights & Style Tips

The MAC 286S Synthetic Duo Fibre Tapered Makeup Brush channels studio polish with everyday ease. A two-toned duo-fibre profile feels airy and responsive, full and wispy with a medium taper that glides along the eyelid and under-eye with a feather-light touch. The 100% synthetic vegan bristles are hand-sculpted by MAC pros and tuned with the latest fibre technology for durability, delivering soft washes of powder, cream, or liquid.

Apply powders, creams, or liquids by stippling, whisking, sweeping, or swirling to build a seamless blur of color. The shape cushions the eye area, taking on lids or concealer with equal grace and allowing color to layer without hard edges. It travels well from daytime to after-dark looks, pairing with everything from matte neutrals to luminous shades. Care is simple: wipe clean with a cloth after use; weekly, wash with a gentle cleanser, rinse thoroughly, squeeze out excess water, reshape, and lay flat to dry.

MAC brushes are a hallmark of professional ready tools that still feel approachable for a modern makeup kit. The 286S sits squarely in that vein—vegan bristles, hand-sculpted finish, and a versatility that suits editor-approved eye looks across brands and trends.

Beauty Trends & Makeup Tips

Cloud Skin Puts A Softer Spin On Matte Makeup

A decade ago, beauty was all about high-coverage, matte complexions with an airbrushed finish. Now, the pendulum has swung toward dewy, light-reflecting skin. But as we move toward fall, matte makeup is making its way back – but with a softer point of view. Meet cloud skin. This updated take on matte makeup swaps heavy coverage and layers of powder for a velvety, diffused finish. The complexion looks softly blurred rather than flat and injects just enough radiance to keep the skin looking alive. Think less full-beat matte and more softly filtered skin. Ahead, we’re breaking down exactly how to recreate the cloud skin look for fall.

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.
