Product Insights & Style Tips

The Buttermelt Highlighter- Butta Than Gold from NYX Professional Makeup brings a sun-kissed glow with a melt-in texture that feels luxe on skin. This gold shade is ultra-pigmented and creamy, delivering a finish that catches light in a single swipe and deepens with layering. Infused with shea, almond and mango butter, the texture stays soft and comfortable all day.

Applied with fingers or a brush, it rests on the high points of the face - cheekbones, brow bones, inner corners - and blends with ease. Buildable for day-to-night drama, it can be worn alone or layered with other products for more depth. The formula stays plush and unsticky, moving seamlessly from desk to evening. Non-returnable for hygiene reasons.

True to NYX's glow-forward outlook, this Butta Than Gold highlight reads modern and approachable. A gilded sheen that plays well with neutrals or bold eye colors, it invites light anywhere you want it and gives you a lifted, polished finish without heaviness.

Style Check

Aesthetics: 9/10

Striking, luminous gold glow commands attention with a molten, editorial finish. The Buttermelt formula yields a creamy, wet-look sheen that catches light across skin and lids, offering a versatile highlighter or eye shadow. Layerable from sheer to saturated, it visualizes a luxe sun-kissed radiance without heavy texture.

Craftsmanship: 7/10

Creamy texture appears smooth and blendable, with a glossy finish that seems to melt into skin. When built, the pigment reads bold yet controllable, suggesting careful formulation. Close shot potential would reveal precise edges and minimal fallout, reinforcing a sense of thoughtful packaging and reliable wear, rather than a glittery novelty.

Affordability: $$$

The price point sits at a crossover level for a NYX product, reflecting a premium feel from its creamy, multi-use gold glow. The value feels justified for the luxe texture and editorial versatility, even if it skews higher than typical drugstore offerings. The cost aligns with its design and aspirational mood.

Beauty Trends & Makeup Tips

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.

The In-Flight Skincare Routine That Saves Your Skin Every Time

Summer is one of the busiest travel seasons, and if you still have flights to catch before it wraps up, the question of what to pack in your personal bag inevitably comes up. In-flight skincare content is everywhere right now, with creators sharing elaborate multi-step routines that look great on camera but raise a practical question: is that actually a good idea at 30,000 feet? The short answer is no. Planes are notorious for circulating bacteria, which means slathering on multiple products mid-flight is doing more harm than good. That said, doing absolutely nothing isn’t the answer either. The dry cabin air is genuinely brutal on your skin, and a pared-down approach using the right products can make a real difference in how you look and feel when you land. Ahead, the only in-flight skincare products worth packing—and exactly how to use them.

Blush Tailoring Gives You The Most Natural Flush

Not every makeup look calls for full-on blush blindness. And while a statement flush absolutely has its place, there are days when something softer and more diffused simply makes more sense. Blush tailoring, dubbed by makeup artist Rose Siard, is the technique that customizes your blush to better complement your complexion and the rest of your makeup – without requiring a drawer full of different shades for every occasion. Instead, it works with products you already own to create a color that melts seamlessly into the skin. The payoff is a naturally flushed complexion that feels less like makeup and more like your skin.
