Sofia Richie Grainge Swears By This $14 Lip Stain for Long-Lasting Color
Known for her minimal makeup hacks—and most recently, her chic take on this summer's French bob—Sofia Richie Grainge is now blessing us with a fresh wave of beauty inspiration. In her latest Vogue Beauty Secrets interview, the influencer dishes on her full routine—from her go-to Vanicream Cleansing Bar to the One/Size On Til Dawn Setting Spray she uses to top off her looks. Alongside splurge-worthy picks from Chanel and Lancôme, the 15-minute tutorial also features plenty of affordable favorites, including a $12 Maybelline mascara and Sacheu's TikTok-viral peel-off lip liner in shade Noohde.
Grainge says she was influenced to try the popular K-Beauty lip stain after seeing Billie Eilish wear it on stage. 'I was at her concert, and my thought was: 'How did her lip stay on all night?!' Then when I saw her 'get ready with me' video, I was like purchase, genius, obsessed.' (FYI, Alix Earle and Doja Cat are also fans.) In the tutorial, Grainge uses the doefoot applicator to casually line her lips, then later peels off the deeply tinted film to reveal a natural-looking flush. For a glossy finish, she layers on Merit's Shade Slick Tinted Lip Oil in the sheer brown shade Mapleton.
According to Sacheu, the wash of color is designed to last all day—no reapplication needed. It's also formulated with hyaluronic acid and vitamin E to keep lips hydrated. (For the best results, the brand recommends applying on clean, exfoliated lips and letting it set for up to 20 minutes.) In addition to Grainge's go-to nude hue, the lip liner comes in nine other gorgeous shades, including a vibrant red, pink, and deep brown.

Recession Indicators People Have Noticed
If you're feeling the pinch financially, you're not alone. With so much uncertainty in the air, many people are worried about the possibility of a recession. In the r/Millennials subreddit, u/Soup_stew_supremacy recently asked about "funny recession indicators," like skinny jeans and tall Uggs coming back into fashion this fall and winter. However, most redditors offered more serious responses to watch out for — perhaps an indicator in itself. Here's what they said: "Women not dyeing or highlighting their hair is a real indicator, from what I've read." "Read an article saying that there's no song of the summer for 2025 due to the economic environment. And of the top ten most-streamed songs this year, only one was released in 2025. People are supposedly returning to recession-era music as well." "Hot people in minimum wage jobs. I'm in a college town, so a lot of employees in retail/food service are good-looking, but I've seen quite a few really hot people working at McDonald's over the summer." "I was in Target the other day and noticed a lot of the women's clothing was becoming more drab in color and utilitarian in style. Lots of beige and denim in very simple cuts." "I'm in a transition point in my life. Biggest recession indicator of them all." "I've found newer restaurants are not busy, but more established restaurants are about the same. Shows that people are not taking as many risks with their money." "Kesha dropped [the song] 'Tik Tok' during a recession, and I'm afraid to tell y'all that she has dropped no fewer than two absolute bangers this year." "I work for the county's child services and support division. There's been a noticeable uptick in the number of people filing for divorce. Jobs go bad, stress increases, and marriages fail." "Concerts are not busy unless you're Morgan Wallen or Taylor Swift. Hotels and resorts not even half full." "I read yesterday that the most popular selling beer this summer is Miller High Life. Cheap as shit. This could be an indicator as well. I thought it was interesting at least." "In my social circle, half the couples have one person recently unemployed and getting NOWHERE on the job hunt. Pretty good indicator." "More car accidents. Bald tires." "The only thing you need to pay attention to is the male underwear index. Yes, it's a thing. Men stop buying undies when times are tight. Who's to see them?" "The 'we buy houses for cash' signs all over. I see commercials now, too. 'Any condition.'" And finally, "Strippers reporting smaller take-home tips." Know any other recession indicators?

Pinterest's growing demographic: Men
Young men are joining Pinterest in record numbers, the company's inaugural trend report on men found. Why it matters: Their most frequent searches on the platform — dressing for Pilates, upping their skincare game and being better parents — contrasts with coverage of their online habits and hyper-masculine stereotypes. The way they are using the platform for "aspirational, aesthetic and positive discovery," Mike Delmoro, senior manager of creator and media relations, tells Axios, "largely rejects the toxicity you might find elsewhere online." By the numbers: Men make up a record one-third of Pinterest's total global audience of 570 million active users, the company said. Zoom in: Men's searches on Pinterest spiked in key categories across lifestyle, family and style, according to internal search data collected between Feb. 2024 and 2025. Pilates (+75%) and rock climbing aesthetic (+95%) inquiries were way up. Same for electrolytes (+45%) and hydration (+50%). Men were also interested in how to "grow hair faster" (+150%), develop a "healthy hair routine" (+45%) and dry skin care routine (+45%). They sought out information on "male makeup" (+50%) and "male nail art designs" (+115%). "Pinterest is typically seen as a place for people to go for inspiration for fashion and home decor. But these were really interesting areas for searches among men, because they're kind of outside of those typical use use cases," Delmoro says. Across fashion, men looked for "goth guy outfits," grunge style and alternative fashion. They were interested in tech and personal finance, too, with huge jumps in searches for "3D printer designs," "podcast studio background," artificial intelligence, "investing" and "budget planning." "Instead of men coming to the platform to look for — like, wedding inspiration, big life events —then logging off after that, they're coming back repeatedly to search for inspiration for things that they do every day, like get ready for work and get ready for the gym," Delmoro says. Parenting is something men are also trying to get right. Their searches for "milestone pictures" — photos that document babies' earliest months — and "smart parenting" were up 415% and 125%, respectively. The big picture: Pinterest, where users can create, discover and "pin" mostly visual content on customizable "boards," is commonly associated with women (and especially brides). It's less of a social discourse space than X or Threads, and less driven by social currency and validation than Instagram or TikTok.

Tan lines are back in fashion. But can you get the look safely?
"I am literally going to apply this fake tan all over my bikini top," Jemma Violet says, as she smears chocolate brown mousse over her chest, neck and halter-neck bikini. I'm watching a TikTok video in which the beauty influencer is explaining how to develop a vibrant set of tan lines - without sunbathing. "Make sure you do your arms and everything... and then wait a couple of hours before washing it off." A flash frame later and Jemma is showing off two very visible white stripes connected to two white triangles poking out of the top of her boob tube. Tan lines glowing, job done. Back in the 90s, I remember the abject horror of having tan lines on display and doing all I could to even mine out - with limited success. Fast forward to the mid 2020s and tan lines have become a fashion statement to be shown off. "When they were out of style they were seen as an imperfection, now they're associated with the summer and an active lifestyle - they've become desirable," Jemma says. "This year it's risen to a whole other level - they're even on the catwalk." Some fake tanners are even using masking tape - the type I use on my skirting boards - to create that crisp line across their skin. "My videos are about getting that tan line safely," Jemma says. "I feel pretty captivating, the look is eye-catching - especially the contrast between the darker skin and the white tan lines." Jemma is one of thousands extolling the virtues of tan lines, with posts notching up more than 200m views on TikTok. But alongside fake tanners like Jemma, there are just as many heading outdoors and under the hot sun, determined to create real tan lines - even if that means burning themselves and suffering the painful consequences. Hashtags such as #sunburntanlines, #sunpoisoning and #sunstroke are popping up alongside videos of young men and women - some in tears - revealing deep red, almost purple, often puckered skin. Some are asking for help and advice, others actually want to show off their badly sunburned bodies. I've even seen one young woman proudly stating, "No pain no gain". Having a visible tan in Victorian times was a clear sign you were poor working class and probably spent most of your time hawking barrels of hay for very little recompense. By the 1920s, a few freckles and a well-placed tan line would probably mean you had moved up a social class or two, and suggested health, wealth and luxurious holidays. By the 1960s and 70s sun lovers were using cooking oil and reflective blankets to deepen their tans. But the links between ultraviolet (UV) radiation and skin cancer were becoming more widely known - and indisputable. So marked the beginning of a complex relationship with the desire to change our skin colour - and while tans are still sought after by millions of us, there is now little doubt a natural one carries with it a hefty element of risk. If someone had lectured Jak Howells about the risks of sunburn a few years ago those warnings would likely have fallen on deaf - and probably sunburnt - ears. "I know it seems strange to be addicted to lying on a sunbed," the 26-year-old from Swansea says, "but I was." It began when Jak was 15, with a few of his older mates in school using them. By the time he was 19 Jak was on sunbeds five times a week, for 18-20 minutes at a time. "My skin was so burned - my face looked like a beetroot. But I kept on going back for more," he says. "I knew in the back of my mind that there was a risk - I wasn't oblivious - but I didn't take it seriously. Jak says he used to enjoy when people complimented him on how he looked and remarked on his tan. "It gave me such a buzz, I loved it," he says. But it was seeing the look of horror on his mum's face, as she examined a bleeding mole on his back, that made Jak realise his love of sunbeds had gone too far. Just before Christmas 2021, Jak was diagnosed with melanoma, one of the most dangerous types of skin cancer, which can spread to other parts of the body. What followed, he says, were two years of "hell and horror". Jak had a complicated operation that involved surgeons cutting away two inches of skin from his lower back, chest and groin. But three months later the cancer was back. Jak then had immunotherapy - which uses the body's own immune system to fight the cancer - and was told if that didn't work, he had only a year to live. "The sickness was horrific - I would lie in bed for days," Jak says. "It felt like I had been hit by a bus. I had such a damaged body, I was a shell of a human. I lived for the next scan, the next treatment." 'Massive backwards step' Melanoma skin cancer rates in the UK have increased by almost a third over the past decade. I asked Megan Fisher from Cancer Research UK why this is happening in an era where the risks posed by harmful rays from the sun and the links to skin cancer are now well known. "It's partly down to those people who may have burnt several decades ago," she explains. "You only need to get sunburnt once every two years to triple your risk of getting skin cancer." As a population, we are growing older, so are "more likely to see more cancers" and "we are spotting them more quickly", she adds. However, there are also concerns part of the increase could be down to the volume of misinformation doing the rounds online. "We've taken a massive backwards step," says Dr Kate McCann, a preventative health specialist. "The message that the sun is good and sunscreen causes cancer is a complete loss of health literacy." She says the current trend to create tan lines by burning in the sun, coupled with false claims that suntan lotion is responsible for the very cancer it's trying to prevent is a "perfect storm". "If I see a child or a young person with sunburn now, I know they have an increased risk of cancer in 20 or 30 years." While there are some ingredients in suntan lotions - like oxybenzone - that can cause environmental damage to coral reefs, there is not evidence to suggest it poses a risk to humans, Dr McCann says. "If you don't want to use a suntan lotion with certain chemicals there are plenty of more natural ones on the market - zinc and mineral based ones - but you can't just stop wearing sunscreen." As a young man Jak relished his tan lines. Now he says he's frightened by the sun and lathers himself up in SPF before even thinking about stepping outdoors. Given the all clear from cancer in December 2022, he now has a career he loves making content and talking about his experiences to raise awareness. Looking back he says he realises what happened to him was "probably self inflicted". "For a long time I blamed myself and I beat myself up about it," he says. "But I have been lucky enough to live through the consequences - and they were horrendous. So maybe now I feel like I've done my time." Back on TikTok, in her own way, beauty influencer and fake tanner Jemma is also trying to prevent others from going through what Jak did. "Skin damage is real," she says. "We're not doing that."
