Why are beauty founders launching products they don’t actually use? This week, Leigh Campbell and Kelly McCarren unpack the strategy behind brand launches, from Dieux’s retinol to Zoe Foster Blake’s eye cream, and why it’s actually a sign of a great brand.

And, Reddit released its first-ever People’s Beauty Index, revealing that 'no-makeup makeup' is officially out, eyeshadow is back, and fragrance searches are getting delightfully unhinged.

Plus, we dive into your beauty dilemmas! We break down the ultimate guide to red lipstick starting at just $10 and Leigh shares a simple routine to help stop your winter-faded pigmentation from bouncing back once the sun comes out.
