“If you retain nothing else, always remember the most important rule of beauty, which is:
who cares?”
Tina Fey
The Look
Witchcraft
The tousled hair, the red-painted lips, the eyes outlined with kohl and accentuated with mascara and that look – we can hardly help but speak of magic. At Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini, the imperfect becomes the perfect – and our favorite beauty inspiration of the current season.
Nice to have

No accessory makes our fingers tingle as much as the hair clip. Formerly a functional part, now a piece of jewelry. You can of course still go for the cheap supermarket staple, go ahead, it’ll probably do, but if you have a few coins to spare then we have another idea. The most beautiful models, which also keep thick hair in place, come from Undo, are made in Italy from high-quality resin, cost less than a necklace from Chopard, but provide at least as much pleasure. Chopard, but provide at least as much pleasure.

Pick & Choose
We don’t want 0815, we want individuality! That’s why we’re clapping so loudly for the nail polishes from the Swiss label farbig, whose formula is not only cruelty-free in 18 respects, but can also be personalized. This is how it works: A machine records the color of your favorite sweater, book cover or umbrella and mixes the right nail polish color based on its analysis, which is already on your nails a short time later.

If we could, we would pack the stress into a box and sink it into the sea. Well, it doesn’t help, we have to do it differently. The Glow by Nature range from Lavera comes to our aid, providing our skin with Q10 and vitamin C, a cocktail as sparkling as Campari soda. Tired skin and wrinkles are quickly a thing of the past, leaving us with a radiant glow that draws compliments. The superhero duo of serum and day care work together to unleash their full power and ensure a refreshed complexion and a glow that makes us look like we’ve just stepped off the island, even in the darker months of the year.

Galaxy Girl
If anyone knows the secret of eternal youth, it’s probably Kate Moss. Moss is 48 years old – and still looks like a newborn. The years in the industry may not be reflected in the British woman’s face, but they are in her head, as she joins the ranks of beauty entrepreneurs with her own cosmetics line. The labels of Kylie Jenner and Gwyneth Paltrow prove just how much potential there is in this market. Well then, Kate Moss does things a little differently and instead of relying on miracle ingredients, she focuses on rituals that make skin and life better. Moss only uses natural ingredients in her bottles – and perhaps a little magic too, as she calls her brand Cosmoss. cosmoss.com

While the other ladies opted for roses, Gabrielle Chanel pinned the camellia to her lapel. In any case, Coco did everything a little differently from the others – and thus found the key to success. Today, others carry on her legacy by asking themselves every day: What would Madame Chanel say? A smile would surely flit across her lips at the sight of the new mascara, because Chanel Noir Allure is a little masterpiece. The packaging, the click, the brush: there’s a lot of brainpower behind it! What’s more, the rubber brush dips our lashes in deep black and does this so carefully that we blink twice with excitement. Chanel, “Noir Allure”, approx. 54.-

Unfuck the World

The world has many problems. One of these is water consumption, which beauty companies are finally tackling with the necessary seriousness, as many care products still consist largely of water and have to be transported and stored in disposable plastic, not least for this reason. So much for the status quo. Future Stories looks to a future in which things are better and starts today. The Hamburg-based start-up relies on a nature-based powder that is shaken with tap water at home to create the usual beauty product. This is simple, sustainable and saves resources. The space-saving and compostable sachets also reduceCO2 consumption during transportation, while at home refill pump dispensers made of Tritan and stainless steel help to store the shaken gel product. And Future Stories goes even further, planting a tree for every care product sold and offsetting the plastic used in cooperation with the Plastik Bank initiative.

Fields of Gold
Those who successfully mine gold are allowed to show off their treasure. Elie Saab dusts the precious metal smoothly onto his models’ faces, where it remains in flakes and creates highlights with the right incidence of light. It can also be more inconspicuous, placed in the corner of the eye, dabbed on the center of the lips or dusted on the cheeks – after all, too much of a good thing often stirs up envy.

The most important tip for beautiful skin? The right cleaning. That’s why we’ve long since given up on just relying on the right care product and instead regularly reach for our Foreo Luna. The sweet thing is now in its fourth generation and comes in new sorbet colors that easily double the pleasure. The silicone nubs gently and hygienically cleanse the face with 16 intensities, removing make-up, dirt, oil and dead skin cells. The cleansing ritual takes just one minute and can be performed in three different modes depending on your needs and the condition of your skin. The Foreo Luna 4 is practical and pretty, and also ensures an even complexion and softened lines. An investment that pays off. Foreo, “Luna 4”, approx. 279 (foreo.com)
