I Watched The Craft Last Night and Now All I Want to Do Is Wear Dark Lipstick

We get a fair amount of aesthetic inspiration from celebrity makeup artists and the looks they create for their A-list clientele, but it's an indisputable fact that movie characters from decades past serve as the ultimate living vision board for everything from iconic hairstyles to enviable makeup looks. A quick scroll down the ol' Instagram feed shows how pop culture icons from Almost Famous's Penny Lane to Margot Tenenbaum still inform the way we approach beauty to this day, but when I think about the film from my youth that made the most indelible impression, cult-classic 1996 release The Craft tops the list. A recent re-watch of this beloved relic of the grunge era reminded me just how badass a woman—even a wayward teen witch—looks in dark lipstick. 

Yes, I'm one of those people who can't help but clock the makeup trends at play while watching movies. (Chalk it up to journalistic prowess.) But aside from their seriously scary spells, Nancy, Bonnie, Rochelle, and Sarah all knew how to work a bold dark lip. Just in time for Halloween and the incoming winter season, have a look at this curated edit of the lipsticks that would definitely appear in each young witch's collection. Because casting spells to make your bully classmate go bald is hard work, and lipstick is a must.

You may be the new girl in the group, but little does everyone know, you're the most powerful of them all. You possess low-key telekinetic abilities and are coming into your own a little more every single day. A smattering of classic maroons is the perfect complement to your newfound power.

Your laid-back sensibilities are perhaps your most endearing quality, but to take your kindness for weakness is a big mistake. Huge. Deep nudes look incredible on you, but you also slay a blood red.

You present as quiet and reserved, but just beneath the surface is burgeoning confidence that will inspire you to seek the spotlight. Shades of purple will coax you right on out of the shadows.

The supreme goth queen, you simply don't give a hoot what people think of you. After all, you're too busy trying to please Manon to even notice your classmates' jeers. You're an icon, sweetie, and don't you forget it. From the deepest blacks to off-the-wall blues, the shades that make you happiest are the ones that are the zaniest.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
