Love Euphoria Style? Anna Sui + Pat McGrath Did It First

Anna Sui’s famous for her throwback flair, but when it comes to beauty trends, she’s always been ahead of her time. There was last year’s Punk Rock Prom Queen look, where Kaia Gerber channeled Jem and the Holograms two whole seasons before it became A Thing™. There were the space buns of 2017, created by Garren and sported by Kendall and Bella en route to McDonald’s after the show… and then on every girl at Coachella eight weeks later. And way back in 1993, Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Helena Christensen, and more OG supermodels wore OG “Euphoria Makeup” on Sui’s grunge-glam catwalk.

“We’ve been doing it for 20, 25 years now,” said Pat McGrath backstage at Sui’s Spring 2020 show. “Of course, we love Euphoria! We know a lot of the cast members; we work with them a lot! But we’ve always done [that makeup], especially at Anna Sui.

"It’s really just that whole fresh take on DIY, isn’t it?... So many things that seem ‘new’ have really been part of the design codes at so many shows, especially ones like Anna Sui.”

The designer herself calls the latest look, “Victorian style, but different from what I usually do because there’s hardly any black. It’s all about dreamy colors, very airy and fresh. It’s my take on the Nouvelle Bohemian.” That translates to a Mentos palette of fluourescent and pastel shades, floral-on-floral styling, and—for McGrath—white star stickers or tiny Swarovski crystals under the eyes, a wash of buttercup-yellow shadow on the lids, and hyper-shiny shimmer powder (McGrath’s own Astral Solstice from the Mothership 6 set) applied wet over white eyeliner for a precise slash of sparkle.

“It’s a very free-spirited, modern young girl,” says McGrath, who could indeed be describing the Euphoria characters… or their originators on the Anna Sui catwalk 10 years before they were born.

Giant Italian-Style Hoagie

Wrap entire hoagie tightly in plastic wrap, then cut crosswise into 4 even sections. (The plastic wrap acts sort of like a girdle, holding in all of the meat, cheese, and veg so that they won't fly out you slice smaller segments. It also acts as insurance in case the parchment paper gets damp.) If you're taking your sandwich out into the world, wrap again in plastic or return to bag or sleeve that bread came in to hold it all together for easy transporting.

Sour Cream Coffee Cake from The Silver Palate Cookbook

[unable to retrieve full-text content]This recipe is one of our favorites from The Silver Palate Cookbook, our February 2019 Cookbook Club pick. It’s an elegant, moist cake ideal for serving at a large brunch party (it’s worth timing to have it ready 30 minutes out of the oven) or with your morning coffee. If you don’t have pecans handy, walnuts make a great substitute.

Everything You've Ever Wanted to Know About Microneedling

For those looking to improve the look of scars, boost collagen, or encourage hair growth, microneedling can offer a minimally invasive solution. The practice dates back to 1995, but has gained significant traction in recent years thanks to new technology—and YouTube and Instagram, where the mesmerizing (albeit bloody) process stars in tens of thousands of videos. Here, dermatologist Macrene Alexiades , MD, PhD, who has published extensive research on microneedling, along with fellow Yale clinical professor and dermatologist Mona Gohara , MD demystify the multi-purpose treatment. Microneedling creates microscopic punctures in the skin. Simply put, microneedling is the insertion of very fine short needles into the skin for the purposes of rejuvenation, explains Macrene. The most popular (and cost effective) microneedling device, known as a dermaroller , is made up of micro-fine needles that range in diameter from 0.5 and 2.5 millimeters. But, if the prospect of multiple needle wounds s...
