Product Insights & Style Tips

The SKINFOOD Black Sugar Perfect First Serum The Essential carries a quiet, city-chic mood that feels both pared-back and indulgent. The texture is feather-light and silky, gliding onto clean skin to leave it refreshed and ready for whatever the day brings—a subtle, luminous canvas that reads easy, not effortful.

As a first layer after cleansing, it dries down quickly and stacks neatly beneath moisturizers, sunscreens, or makeup. It settles into the skin without heaviness, helping a natural glow show through and keeping the base smooth as you move from desk to downtown. It’s the kind of staple you reach for without thinking.

SKINFOOD leans into an edible-inspired beauty ethos, mixing playfulness with practical skincare. The Black Sugar serum sits squarely in that wheelhouse—polished, versatile, and easy to pair with denim and minimalist accessories for a modern, off-duty mood.

Aesthetics: 8/10

Bold, editorial presence even in a bathroom shelf moment. The amber bottle with clean typography and a glossy dropper feels premium, echoing SKINFOOD's playful yet elevated brand voice. The minimal label lets the product color and texture speak, giving a distinct focal point among skincare prep looks.

Craftsmanship: 7/10

Close inspection reveals clean finishes and precise alignment of cap, dropper, and label. The glass feels sturdy, with a glossy surface that catches light without glare. If the image shows no visible flaws, it signals reliable construction; any puckers or miscuts would detract, yet here the presentation reads solid.

Affordability: $$$$

At 35, the value feels aligned with its design and brand cues. The bottle looks premium and the concept of a first serum with black sugar hints at a thoughtful skincare ritual, elevating everyday routines. The cost sits comfortably within mid range for a refined, editorial oriented product.

Turn Heads With The 90s Bombshell Energy Makeup

Beauty is trading minimalism for something a little more sultry: 90s bombshell energy makeup. The beauty of this era was its deceptive simplicity: pick one feature, make it the whole show, and let everything else fade into the background. There were no competing focal points or complicated techniques, just one amplified feature doing all the work. And nine times out of ten, that feature is the eyes. Vanessa Hudgens made a recent case for it with her dark, smoldering, fully rimmed eyes anchored by a bronzed complexion and barely-there nude lip. It’s the epitome of the bombshell energy makeup we grew up admiring. Ahead, here’s how to get the look at home.

Ahead, our tried-and-true tricks for preventing hair breakage before it gets worse.

Greta Lee Makes A Case For Super Sculpted Cheekbones

While contour and bronzer are staples of any full makeup beat, the usual goal is to blend them into the skin until they create barely-there definition. Greta Lee, however, is making a compelling case for doing the exact opposite. The actress is embracing dramatically sculpted cheekbones that are intentionally prominent. And instead of appearing harsh, the exaggerated contour feels editorial, especially against her soft, luminous skin. If you’re looking for a way to shake up your usual base routine, consider this your sign to let your cheekbones do the talking. Her makeup artist, Charlotte, shared some insight into the products and techniques behind the look, so we’re breaking down exactly how to recreate those sculpted cheekbones below.
