You're about to see reverse eyeliner everywhere – here's how to do it like Dior
The AW25 runways have served some, ahem, interesting looks so far. Citrine eyeshadow at Tom Ford, anyone? It's ok; there has been some wearable loveliness, too. Take the lightly lacquered lips at Balmain and the fuzzy matte skin at Acne Studios – both gorgeous. There was one look though, crafted by Dior Makeup's Image and Creative lead, Peter Philips, that we're expecting to take off. The look in question? The reverse eyeliner.
To create it, Philips has used a kohl pencil (the Diorshow On Stage Crayon in Black, £26 – a soft kajal that stays put) in the inner corners of the eyes, tracing the outline around the tearducts. If you can't picture it just yet, imagine the maths inequality symbols ('>' and '
Philips describes it as 'strong but discreet'. 'It's a subtle look,' he says, 'but the single strong accent just completes a pure, luminous complexion.'
If you're worried black might look too dramatic, you can always soften it with brown, burgundy or navy. Keeping the kohl freshly sharpened for each eye is key here for maximum precision. Don't worry about the pencil sharpness being harsh and scratchy on the area; Dior's kohl is soft enough to glide gently while also staying put. Have a micellar water and cotton bud handy to tidy up any mistakes and emphasise the sharpest point of the line.
So simple, so pretty. Here's to a runway look we can actually get behind.£26.00 at sephora.co.uk£6.50 at

Amazon has leaked Philips' new ambient wall light
Amazon's UK site has an early listing for what appears to be a successor to the Philips Hue Play Light Bar. The new Philips Hue Play Smart Wall Washer also casts an ambient glow on walls that can be synced to music and videos, but illuminates a wider area with better color output than its predecessor, thanks to 'precisely arranged LEDs.' The Hue Wall Washer appears to be a significant upgrade over the Light Bar, but it's considerably more expensive, too. The Light Bar is currently on sale for $69.99 (normally $89.99) or available in a two-pack for $159.99, while a single Wall Washer unit is £199.99, or around $270, according to Hueblog. It's expected to be released sometime in the next four months. With a design that appears similar to Philips' Hue Twilight smart sunrise lamp but without the forward-facing bedside lamp functionality, the Hue Play Smart Wall Washer projects up to 1,035 lumens of white or colored light that the company says 'covers three times as much surface in colorful light as other wall washers,' no matter how far you have it positioned from a wall. It accomplishes this using Philips' ColorCast technology, which angles the LEDs diagonally upwards. Standing just over 6 inches tall and 3.5 inches wide, the Wall Washer can be positioned behind or nearby a TV, and because it's made from aluminum with a matte finish instead of shiny reflective plastic, Philps says it 'won't catch any glare from the TV off the light itself.' Despite being over twice as bright as the Philips Hue Play Light Bar (which offers 500 lumens of illumination), the new Wall Washer features 'utra-low dimming' so it can be used to create a subtle lighting effect or even function as a night light. It's also Bluetooth compatible (there's currently no mention of Zigbee support on Amazon's listing) and can be controlled with voice commands through Google Assistant, Apple's Siri, and Amazon's Alexa smart assistants.

You're gonna love how it makes your skin feel without leaving your pores clogged or your face feeling greasy. Peach and Lilly acne spot dots that work just as well as the fan favorite Mighty Patches. Just stick one of these bad boys on your pimple overnight and be amazed (/disgusted) by the results when you wake up. The Face Shop's Rice Water Bright Foaming Facial Cleanser, which could basically be the only step in your skincare routine if you really wanted it to be. It'll help brighten, cleanse, moisturize, and remove your makeup all at once, which is pretty impressive itself, and on top of that, reviewers rave about it being a cheaper alternative to Tatcha Rice Wash, so I'd call that a win–win. Good Molecules Pineapple Exfoliating Powder that magically turns into a foaming face wash when combined with water (just like the $68 Dermalogica version). It's made with fruit enzymes, vitamin C, and rice powder to gently exfoliate, soften, and brighten your skin. A L'Oréal illuminating moisturizer to instantly give you a ✨glow✨ while also hydrating your skin. The subtle tint will provide you a nice, light coverage on those days when you absolutely *cannot* with a full face of makeup. A jar of E.l.f.

Yeah, go ahead and get one of those ~fancy~ drinks you like with that money you've saved. LilyAna eye cream to help lighten those dark circles and decrease puffiness under your eyes. It's packed with vitamin C and a bunch of other natural ingredients that can help improve the appearance of fine lines or dullness in your skin, just like the pricier Lancôme cream does. A pack of PleasingCare bamboo oil-blotting sheets for the times you catch yourself looking greasy as HECK. These can quickly and easily remove excess oils just as well as Tatcha's popular blotting sheets, without messing up your makeup. Nivea Creme (the German version!), which will help save you from the patchy, flaky, and dry skin we all experience at some point during the year. Plus, take reviewers' advice and save yourself over $150 by choosing this over La Mer's pricey Crème de la Mer. "We are never, ever, ever getting back together" — you to La Mer after you try the Nivea creme. CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser for removing excess oil, dirt, and makeup without leaving your skin feeling dry or uncomfortably tight (which is honestly one of my main pet peeves from face washes). Drunk Elephant Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser is quivering, knowing you won't be buying it again. Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Skin Therapy Oil that nourishes and hydrates your skin with natural ingredients to give you that same ✨glow✨ you get with Tarte Maracuja Oil, just for a ~fraction~ of the price. A rainbow-inspired eyeshadow palette with 40 shades (matte, shimmer, and metallic!) so you can get as creative as you could ever imagine. And somehow even with this wide variety *and* brilliant colors, it still won't cost more than $10!! Care:Nel lip mask that reviewers say is *spot on* to the other version (*cough cough* Laneige) that's viral on TikTok. This will hydrate your lips overnight while creating a protective barrier to help prevent future damage. Eve Hansen Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Serum designed to help (stay with me here…) smooth wrinkles, brighten dark spots, firm skin, add moisture, reduce under-eye puffiness, and give you a beautiful glow. Not to mention it is more than 10 times (!!) less expensive than the highly sought-after TNS Essential Serum, but just as effective! CeraVe Moisturizing Cream with a thick, velvety texture to absorb quickly and provide you with 24 hours of hydration. You won't hesitate to buy this over the Sunday Riley Ice Ceramide Moisturizing Cream, which is almost four times the price (and significantly less product). And CeraVe Skin Renewing Night Cream to help renew and hydrate your skin overnight with hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, so you can have sweet dreams thinking of everything you can buy with the money you saved from not getting Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Firming Moisturizer. Garnier's Micellar Cleansing Water that'll remove makeup just like Bioderma. It'll also clear skin of dirt and oil, all without stripping your face of moisture. The highly effective Bio-Oil designed to help minimize the appearance of scars just as well as Mederma scar gel, a drugstore staple. Anndd as an added bonus, Bio-Oil is also made to help nourish your skin without clogging your pores. ALL that and still less than half the price — it just one-upped you, Mederma. Juno & Co.'s Clean 10 Cleansing Balm that'll make removing your makeup easy as can be. (Yup, even waterproof mascara doesn't stand a chance!) It features Japanese pearl barley, which melts into your skin to hydrate while cleansing away impurities. Reviewers even compare it to ~expensive~ products like Farmacy Green Clean and Elemis! Or a container of Albolene moisturizing cleanser reviewers are loving as an equally effective — and much more affordable — makeup remover compared to Clinique Take The Day Off balm. Massage this balm on your face and watch your makeup melt away. Or a makeup cleansing cloth that works just like the MakeUp Eraser to remove A L L your makeup by just adding water…yes, even waterproof makeup. Buhbyeee wasteful makeup removing wipes! How does it make sense? IDK maybe it's magic, but whatever it is, it *works.* Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer if you've been looking for something to cover up big pimples, redness, or dark circles without weighing you down or lightening up your wallet too much. Essence Lash Princess mascara that will give you the look of wearing falsies, without the hassle of making sure you actually know how to put them on. Not to mention, the end result will be basically the same as you would get with higher-end mascaras, only significantly cheaper. Elizabeth Mott's Thank Me Later Eye Primer, which will help make sure that smoky eye (that you spent way longer on than you'd like to admit) actually lasts through the night instead of melting off your face as soon as you walk out the door. A six-piece set of high-performance matte lipsticks so you can have ~options~ and still pay less than what you'd pay for *one* color of another brand. Don't worry, just because they're inexpensive doesn't mean they are cheap — reviewers are saying they perform just as well as those more expensive brands.

Taylor Swift Wears $34K Outfit During Night Out Without Travis Kelce
Taylor Swift Wears $34K Outfit During Night Out Without Travis Kelce originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Pop star Taylor Swift was spotted enjoying a quiet dinner at the popular West Village restaurant Via Carota and while her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, was nowhere in sight, all eyes were on her eye-catching $34,000 outfit. Swift kept it chic and elegant for the evening, wearing a black floral dress called the Benoit dress in Noir Wild Rose, which sells for $298. She added a modern twist with the Phoenix leather belt priced at $155 and stepped out in stylish Condora sandals by Christian Louboutin, worth $895. Her accessories, however, took the outfit to another level. Swift carried a Balmain mini anthem bag priced at $1,995, a Western-inspired handbag in slouchy black leather. Around her neck, she wore the luxurious Never Not Travel 'Night and Day' necklace, valued at $21,838. She also added sparkle with three designer rings: a FoundRae heart sealed gemstone crest rose gold ring priced at $2,050, a Tiffany & Co. diamond wire ring at $2,925 and a Louis Vuitton Le Damier small ring at $3,950. In total, Swift's dinner outfit came to an eye-popping $34,106. Swift's look was shared by Taylor Swift Updates on X. This rare solo outing marks Swift's first major appearance since her Super Bowl trip in February, where she cheered on Kelce and the Chiefs. Although the couple has been seen on quiet dates this May, including a Mother's Day dinner in Philadelphia and a night out in West Palm Beach, this time Swift dined without Kelce. The 'Karma' singer looked relaxed as she arrived in silence. She was joined by her brother Austin Swift, actress Dakota Johnson and Johnson's brother Jesse. For now, Swift's quiet night out gave fans something to talk about not just because of her look, but also because it reminded everyone: when Taylor Swift shows up, she does it in story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on May 31, 2025, where it first appeared.
