But more often than not, her stylist’s canvas is long hair.…

I subscribed to “American” beauty standards and followed YouTube hair and makeup tutorials from white influencers. But that changed when I was forced to leave in the aftermath of Hurricane María. Suddenly, I…

We knew the Grammy winner and November 2021 Allure cover star would deliver and then some for his hyped-up halftime show, and he did not disappoint. Neither did the major celebrity cameos, which brought big beauty moments from…
