Best Beauty Looks: The Stars Who Slayed the Grammys Red Carpet

2016 Grammy Awards: The Most Outrageous Beauty Looks

Matte nails have been a small passing fad we’ve seen come and go over the past decade or so, but Alexander Wang just put them back on the map with pale pink manicures designed to resemble pink chalk. The shade coordinates perfectly with some of the garments in Wang’s fall 2016 collection. You’ll have to wait a while to get your hands on the garments, but you can try the manicure right away with polish that’s already in stores. Essie’s celebrity nail expert Michelle Saunders created the look with one coat of Fiji ($9), one coat of Tuck it in My Tux ($9), and a layer of Matte About You topcoat ($9). 

Saunders says matte manicures can work for any season or occasion, but the freshest way to wear it is over an unexpected color. “You see it sometimes over neutrals or nudes, but try to put it over a red or put it over something that you wouldn’t normally think would be cool, and all of a sudden it feels modern, it feels fresh, and it feels very Alexander Wang.” And as we all know, once Wang does it, cool girls everywhere will want it, too.

So why matte? “When you think of things that are very modern and streamlined and cool, they’re really not shiny — think of cement or leather, it’s very flat. I think that’s what [Wang] always wants to bring to his collection in terms of beauty,” says Saunders. She says it also gives the effect of a days-old manicure that’s lost its luster. “Have you ever had a nail color on for a long time? That’s what he wanted. To be very lived in.”

While using a matte topcoat is an easy way to change up your nail look, it does have one drawback. “Matte can pick up little imperfections of the nail, so we’re applying the Ridge Filling Base Coat ($9) and that gives it a really nice smooth foundation for any time you use Matte. It’s one of my favorite base coats of all time. I always have it in my kit.” Other matte topcoats worth trying are Jin Soon Matte Maker ($18), Sally Hansen Big Matte Top Coat Nail Treatment ($6), and China Glaze Matte Magic ($8).

How to Mix Your Own Nail Polish

Mascara has been taking risks lately, from colorful shades to punk rock clumps, but now wet lashes may become the new trend. Why? As Maybelline global makeup artist Yadim explained backstage at Jason Wu, “it’s a simple, easy, beautiful look but there’s a little something to it.”

Jason Wu is known for his classic, sophisticated styles, but he wanted a modern edge for the makeup this season. “My initial thought was to do something with a crazy mascara or something, and I thought he would be a little afraid of it, but in the end when I brought the girls out he loved this — he’s obsessed with it,” said Yadim.

Wet looking lashes were a standout at Jason Wu. (Photo: Getty Images)

To get the look, he first used Maybelline Volum’Express Colossal Chaotic Effect Mascara ($5) to clump up the ends of the lashes. “We don’t go to the root of the lash — Just swish it back and forth using the tip of the mascara wand,” he says. “It kind of bunches the lashes together.” Next came the added wet effect. “We put lip gloss onto the end of the lashes so it almost ends up looking like vinyl-y lashes, like drippy shiny — to a fault.” Makeup artists used a long thin brush or makeup wand to apply Maybelline’s new Colorama gloss (it’s not out yet!) to the tips of lashes right before showtime.

If this sounds a little goopy off the runway, fear not. “If you don’t want any wetness on your lashes at all but want to keep it looking semi-wet, there are some Maybelline mascaras that are purposely more shiny than others,” says Yadim, who suggests Great Lash ($4) Volum’Express Falsies Push Up Drama ($7) and Lash Sensational Lucious Mascara ($7) all in Blackest Black for a wet look. And the more clumps the better — “when you get out of the shower and look in the mirror they’re a little clumped together.” You can also try coating lashes with a lip balm, Vaseline, or a natural clear gloss to get the look at home.

Surprising Fall Trend: Clumpy Lashes  

Anna Ewers Actually Makes Clumpy Mascara Look Good for Vogue Paris

Makeup artists often say “there’s a red lipstick for everyone.” Well, as someone who has tried and failed with dozens of tubes over the years, I personally don’t agree. In fact, I believe that finding a vibrant lip color that’s truly flattering isn’t always as easy as it sounds. That’s why I love color-adjusting lipsticks and glosses. Almost like a mood ring, these products contain colorants or encapsulated pigments that activate as soon as they hit your lips. By removing the guesswork, they brighten up your natural lip color to an ultra-flattering custom hue that magically works for everyone. I’ve been obsessed with under-the-radar lip enhancers for years, and finally beauty brands have caught on with tubes, sticks, and pencils at a variety of price points. Here are 13 color-adjusting lip products worth trying.  

Self-adjusting lip products

These lipsticks, lip glosses, and lip balms activate on contact to give you a flattering custom color. (Photo: Jon Paterson)

Dior Addict Lip Glow in Lilac

Dior Addict Lip Glow has been one of my go-to beauty secrets, so I was thrilled to test out the new lilac shade available now. With a minty scent, this product looks like a lipstick but feels ultra hydrating like a balm on your lips, thanks to added wild mango. Dior Addict Lip Glow in Lilac ($33) 

Make The Universal Stick in Cedar

Apply this thick stick to your lips or your cheeks for a sheer wash of color that’s easily blendable and buildable. Make The Universal Stick in Cedar ($24)

Bobbi Brown Extra Lip Tint

Don’t let this sheer stick fool you — it both looks and applies like a creamy, hydrating lip balm, but leaves behind a pretty pink stain and ultra smooth lips. Bobbi Brown Extra Lip Tint ($33). Disclaimer: Bobbi Brown is the editor in chief of Yahoo Beauty.

MoodMatcher Luxe Twist Stick

This chubby pencil applies with a light texture, but you’ll have gorgeous hot pink lips in seconds. Within two minutes, the color will reach its “peak” for a shade you never guessed you’d be able to pull off. MoodMatcher Luxe Twist Stick ($10)

Givenchy Mister Gentlebalm Lipcolor Enhancing Balm

This little pot packs serious punch. Creamy, soft, and not at all goopy, this plumping balm apparently it uses your own pH to create a custom pink shade that’s a more radiant version your own natural hue. I’ve also noticed that applying a drop to the apples of your cheeks fakes a beautiful healthy post exercise flush. And the fruity rose scent is irresistible. Givenchy Mister Gentlebalm Lipcolor Enhancing Balm ($31)

Milk Makeup Oil Lip Stain

My favorite product from the new Milk makeup line, this ultra-glossy formula squeezes out of a rollerball to amp up lips with an almost neon hue that lasts for hours. Thanks to added oils and vitamin E, your pucker will be incredibly smooth, too. Milk Makeup Oil Lip Stain ($18)

Dior Addict Lip Glow Liner

This limited edition lip liner has the same minty scent and feel of the corresponding lipstick, but applying to the perimeter of your lips gives them a plumped-up look. Apply under your favorite lip color or wear solo. Dior Addict Lip Glow Liner ($32)

Givenchy Rouge Interdit Vinyl in Noir Revelateur

I was immediately intrigued by this black glossy lipstick. I’m not as daring with lip color as Rihanna, so how would the inky shade appear? Turns out it gave my lips a warm berry stain and healed any hint of chapped winter skin. Givenchy Rouge Interdit Vinyl in Noir Revelateur ($33)

Sephora Collection Color Reveal Lip Balm

This best-selling tube has a honey flavor and a more affordable price tag than designer takes on the trend, but still provides the same type of color-adjusting pink hue to lips. Sephora Collection Color Reveal Lip Balm ($13)

MoodMatcher MoodGloss in Personalized Pink

Sit back and be wowed as this shea butter-enhanced gloss instantly takes your natural lip color to new extremes for a bold pink shade that lasts up to five hours. MoodMatcher MoodGloss in Personalized Pink ($10)

Lipstick Queen Hello Sailor 

This sheer blue lipstick actually creates a berry tint to the lips. Bonus: it makes your teeth appear whiter. Lipstick Queen Hello Sailor ($25)

Tarte LipSurgence Skintuitive Lp Tint

With a twist-up plastic pencil applicator, this is the most subtle product of the bunch. I’ve had one stashed in my desk drawer for the past year because one quick swipe is the ideal quick pick-me-up before a meeting. Tarte LipSurgence Skintuitive Lp Tint ($24)

Jane Iredale Just Kissed Lip & Cheek Stain

Escada’s new scent will have you yearning for sunny summer days on the beach.

Each day the editors of Yahoo Beauty are sharing one noteworthy product we feel should be on your radar. From the latest and greatest items that land on our desks to indie products with a cool backstory to the old standbys that have earned a permanent place on our vanities, trust us: You’ll want to check them out. 

It’s hard to capture the essence of summer — the sun, the salt air, the playful excitement in the air — but this is something Escada has mastered through its summer fragrances since 1993. One spritz of the 24th limited edition scent, Escada Agua del Sol ($60 for 1.6 oz), instantly transports you to the sun and surf, an image that’s creatively replicated by the sheer yellow and blue flacon.

The enticing fruity floral scent is one with universal appeal. At first whiff, you’ll experience the zesty citrus, raspberry sorbet, nashi pear granite, and invigorating pink peppercorn top notes. The heart of the fragrance has a feminine feel, with apricot nectar and rose petals, while the warm, lingering base is made up of Tonka bean, sandalwood, and white musk cream.

With a delicious, vivacious aroma that elicits visions of the sunny coastline, perhaps it’s no surprise that these limited edition perfumes sell out globally by the time summer arrives. Get yours now in a variety of sizes, from a travel-friendly rollerball to a long-lasting 3.3 oz bottle, at Ulta and Kohl’s.

Eric Buterbaugh’s Guide to Picking the Perfect Perfume

You’ve likely used — or currently own — a tube of ChapStick. You can likely conjure up the distinctive scent and moisturizing formula loaded with aloe and vitamin E. You may also recall the brand’s ads featuring empowering female athletes like Suzy “ChapStick” Chaffee, Dorothy Hamill, and Misty May-Treanor. And you’ve inevitably encountered pop cultures everywhere from Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl” to Napoleon Dynamite. ChapStick is one of those products with universal appeal, but did you know that it was the very first lip balm ever? It’s over 125 years old! I was lucky enough to get to visit the ChapStick factory in Richmond, Virginia and make my own tube. Here’s what I learned about the iconic beauty brand.

Nowadays you can buy a plethora of ChapStick flavors in essentially any drugstore, mass retailer, and even on its own ecommerce site for $1.50 a tube. The original ChapStick actually came wrapped in tin foil and was created by Charles Browne Fleet in the 1800s. He sold the rights to the recipe for John Morton in 1912 for just $5 — around $120 today with inflation. Poor Charles must not have known how ravenous people would become for lip balm. Frank Wright created the now-famous logo in back in 1930. Since then, ChapStick has maintained a secure spot in the pockets and purses of consumers worldwide while it’s continued to evolve with a focus on skin care (like their most recent Total Hydration 100% Natural formula) as well as limited edition packaging and innovative, tasty flavors like candy cane, chocolate truffle, pumpkin pie, aloha coconut, and watermelon splash.

ChapStick has also enlisted an endless roster of cool spokespeople, the latest being Hart of Dixie star Rachel Bilson. “ChapStick has always been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, my dad would always pull out the black tube from his jeans pocket and I feel that ChapStick is a tradition that he passed down to me and my grandfather passed down to him,” Bilson tells Yahoo Beauty. “ChapStick has always been my go-to and there are definitely days when all I have on is ChapStick – it’s a part of me, especially now that I am a mom and try to keep my routine simple. ChapStick Total Hydration 100% Natural Soothing Vanilla is my current favorite. It really works and protects your lips and I love that it is all-natural.”

Here’s a look back at some of ChapStick’s coolest moments through the years.

A ChapStick flavor for everyone

ck2 is the latest addition to the Calvin Klein fragrance world. (Photo: Calvin Klein)

In 1994, no campaign made a bigger impact on my teenage friends and I than the black and white ads for ck one — the world’s first unisex fragrance. (Nowadays you may not think twice about a gender-neutral scent, but back then it was groundbreaking and a hot topic of discussion.) Housed in a minimal bottle and designed to be splashed on, the clean notes of bergamot, hedione high cis, musk, and green tea made ck one popular amongst both women and men. The scent and the edgy campaign starring Kate Moss, Stella Tenant, and Jenny Shimizu celebrated self-expression, individuality, unity, and sexuality. And I wanted what they were selling. 

Calvin Klein ruled the ‘90s fragrance world (my mom wore Eternity and my dad wore Obsession), and while I dabbled with many scents over the years, ck one always had a place in my heart — and occasionally on my vanity. So when I learned that the latest addition to the Calvin Klein fragrance house was called ck2, I had to get my hands on a bottle immediately. 

ck one was the world’s first unisex fragrance, a trend that’s more prevalent than ever, 22 years later. (Photo: Calvin Klein)

Where ck one was referred to as a unisex and “shared” scent, ck2 is a gender-free fragrance. Everything from the campaign to the clever, clear two-piece bottle (it fits together in a variety of ways), ck2 celebrates duos. From friends to siblings to relationships, ck2 is about special connections that exist without prejudice and don’t need to be defined. Because labels are seriously overrated. Or, as the campaign says, “no 2 connections are the same. no one connection is forever. experience the thrill of life. ck2 a scent for #the2ofus.”

The scent itself is dual-faceted, as well, creating a new category of urban woody freshness. juxtaposing a gritty, urban environment (think wet cobblestones and concrete) with electric energy (wasabi) and warmth (sandalwood).  

ck2 is a new gender-free fragrance. (Photo: Calvin Klein)

Of course, let’s not forget the importance of the campaign. Shot by photographer Ryan McGinley, the ads perfectly encapsulate the passion and spontaneity of youth — and ck2, of course. The ads feature a variety of up-and-comers like 18-year-old model, stylist, and Kanye muse Luka Sabbat, Brazilian rapper and dancer Victoria “Vickatrillion” Brito, and fraternal twin models Kelsey and Baylee Soles who have walked the runway for Saint Laurent and Miu Miu and been featured in a Lanvin campaign together. They all had fun shooting the campaign together.

“Everyone was just laughing on set and having a really good time, and we were all yelling and being rowdy, so it was such a great moment to be a part of,” says Baylee. (Photo: Calvin Klein)

Even though the twins were born in 1995, they say the original ck one ads from 1994 made a lasting impression. “I remember the old campaigns for sure,” says Kelsey. “They are so iconic though and have always struck me as being really grunge and rock and roll. I loved the black and white photos and how everyone in them just looked so cool. It’s amazing how that campaign still looks so fresh and current today. Calvin Klein is so classic, so they have managed to continue to be relevant even 20+ years later. In contrast, the new ck2 campaign is more youthful and carefree, with bright colors and tons of emotions. I think it really reflects the spirit of this generation in the same way that ck one did when it came out.” Her twin Baylee agrees. “I think this campaign really emphasizes adventure and the thrill of life. It makes you want to go out and do things.”

If one of those things is picking up a bottle of ck2, the scent ranges in price from $20 for a pocket spray (available exclusively at Macy’s) to a 3.4 oz eau de toilette for $75. Scoop it up starting today and check out the new commercial below.

The 10 Sexiest Fragrances To Try Now

Chanel’s Sublimage La Crème is reimagined with three new formulas. (Photo: Chanel)

Ten years ago, Chanel launched Sublimage, a luxurious, anti-aging skin care product worthy of the brand’s highly respected heritage. Since 2006, over 1.6 million jars of Sublimage La Crème have been sold worldwide — nearly one jar a minute. And now, with the discovery of recent innovation, three new versions of this incredible product are hitting counters: Sublimage La Crème Texture Fine, Sublimage La Crème Texture Suprême, and a new-and-improved Sublimage La Crème ($400 each for 1.7 oz). I was granted the unique opportunity to go to Chanel’s laboratory in Paris to learn about the incredibly backstory, from research to farming to creation. One touch of the trio of creamy textures on my skin made me fall in love — it’s been tough to even choose a favorite. And as someone who’s always wondered what really goes into formulating pricey, high-end skin care products, the experience taught me you truly get what you pay for. 

Chanel’s sustainable vanilla farm in Ambanja, Madagascar. (Photo: Chanel)

Chanel began studying vanilla way back in 1995. In the 2000s, the brand’s talented researchers harnessed the natural properties of vanilla planifolia — one of 117 species of vanilla — from Madagascar. The country accounts for 80 percent of the world’s vanilla, and as a result, bountiful overfarming and deforestation creates open fields and disrupt much of the exotic locale’s natural habitats. Chanel had no interest in being a part of that problem, so in 2002 the brand established a small sustainable farm of 3,500 vines in Ambanja, Madagascar with about a dozen local women called “shaders” who observe, pollinate, and gather the plants in a controlled and isolated sanctuary. Vanilla traditionally grows in the forest, so the brand uses nets to prevent the sun from burning the plants in an open space. In this respect, Chanel is a leader in proving you can cultivate a successful farm while maintaining a natural community. (Another awesome benefit of this farm? Chanel established an educational center nearby, so when the shaders go to work, their children can learn and be cared for.)

Chanel’s shaders pollinate vanilla flowers by hand. (Photo: Chanel)

From October to December, the vanilla flower opens early in the morning. The first day they blossom, the shaders pollinate the flowers by hand with a small piece of wood, which transforms it into a fruit. The shaders monitor, cut and gather the vanilla pods in April — right before it begins its ripening process, when the molecule has the highest concentration and offers the strongest regenerating properties. They send them directly to the Chanel labs in Pantin, France the same day. It is there that the brand performs a separation and extraction process, which produces the new Éphémères de Planifolia. This delivers maximum benefits to consumers directly from the heart of the vanilla pods in part by stimulating anti-aging enzymes already present within the skin.  

Chanel’s shaders know exactly when to cut the vanilla pods for maximum potency. (Photo: Chanel)

Combine the Éphémères de Planifolia  with shea butter, jojoba oil, and Chanel’s famous camillia oil, and you have the new trio of Sublimage creams, housed in identical glass jars and scented with a powdery, vanilla aroma. They are all equally efficient products, and deliver hydrated, radiant, soft skin with minimized wrinkles. Their textures — inspired by the luxurious fabrics of the French fashion house — are quite different and may be selected depending on preference. Sublimage La Crème Texture Fine feels like delicate silk and is light enough to use in warm climates. Sublimage La Crème has the texture of jersey, hugging the skin. Sublimage La Crème Texture Suprême applies like rich velvet, and is best used in the evening or on dry skin.

Have you ever taken advantage of a “free gift with purchase” deal at a beauty counter? You have Estée Lauder to thank.

Back in 1959, lacking the money to advertise in Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue, Estée Lauder herself came up with a clever marketing strategy to get people to makeup counters: giving customers a free product when they made a purchase. She felt it was the most honest way of advertising because you can try the product yourself and discover how good the quality is so you’ll want to buy it.

Originally made in 1957 as part of the Beauty of the Month Club promotion, the brand gifted a light blue powder compact at counters starting in 1959. It continued to be part of the Gift with Purchase sets in the 1960s and early ‘70s. Yahoo Beauty was granted exclusive access to the Estée Lauder archives so we could photograph this special compact. Click through our slideshow for more background on this unique item in beauty history.

As someone with dry skin, sensitive eyes, static-prone hair, and a legitimate fear of slipping on ice, I consider getting to work in one piece a triumph on sub-30-degree days. Needless to say, my beauty routine goes the ultra minimal route with showers at night, mascara on top lashes only (try this tip if your eyes water like mine), and my long hair twisted into a knot at the back of my head.

Unlike Alex with her choppy mid-length strands, I can’t do turtleneck hair. I’ve tried tucking it into my sweater and wrapping it in a scarf, but my straight hair tangles and gets ultra staticky. Instead, I’ve resorted to my middle school go-to, twisting my hair into messy loops. This is not a post-gym, get-the-hair-off-my-neck topknot. To achieve this look, hair should be centered directly at the back of the head so it can sit just above your turtleneck or scarf.  To prevent static and add shine and freshness to a two or three-day old shampoo, I spritz with Oribe Côte d'Azur Hair Refresher ($25) and use a comb to rake the sides of hair straight back, leaving it loose on top. Twist hair into a knot and secure with Conair Brush Styling Essentials Bobby Pins ($2) or a non-damaging elastic in a shade that matches your hair like Emi Jay Brown Ombre 5-Pack ($11). Pull out a few strands for a casual effect, and spray on a quick coat of Pantene Pro-V Style Series Air Spray Alcohol Free in Hairspray Brushable Flexible Hold ($6) to lock your style in place. And remember: don’t overthink it. This is one of those styles that’s better when it looks (and is) truly effortless.

Move Over Hat Hair — It’s All About Turtleneck Hair

6 Genius Winter Hair Hacks

Over the years you’ve likely become a pro at wielding a flat iron or curling iron, but there’s still one major problem: the cord. Outlets are often inconveniently placed at the opposite end of the room from your mirror, cords always become tangled, and don’t even get me started on how many hot tools I’ve fried in international outlets. Thankfully, beauty brands have finally launched some wireless options that A) really do keep a charge for a reasonable amount of time (promise! My hair is long!) and B) work just as well as their corded counterparts. Consider your beauty routine altered forever.

Barbar 1800 Ceramic Cordless Flat Iron ($135)
