Million Dollar Listing LA Season 13 Episode 7 Fashion

Although Heather Altman may not be a ‘Real Housewife,’ she’s definitely a wife with really similar style to them as exemplified by her black neon striped sleeve sweatshirt on this week’s episode of MDLLA. And we’re just hoping that she discovered the HW-beloved brand as the result of a secret Big Blonde Hair addiction (hey, she’s even got some herself!).

Leah McSweeney is leaving little to the imagination with her white cutout dress on Instagram. But we totally love her for it. She wore it to the release party for the Not All Diamonds and Rosé book, but said it almost was a RHONY reunion look. Either way we’re glad it got to see the light of day. Because now we can’t imagine not getting a Style Stealer of it for ourselves.

Sincerely Stylish,

Sometimes a beauty product blows up on TikTok and you’re like, no wait! Don’t say it! Because you know it’ll be impossible to find in 24 hours. That’s what happened when Milani’s Color Fetish Matte Lipstick went viral on TikTok. The Nudes Collection is a six-piece line that screams fall. They’re ultra-creamy with a velvet matte finish and are vegan and cruelty-free. Oh, and did I mention they’re only $8? You can see why these are flying off the virtual shelves.

TikToker @madelleyn showed off the shades in a perfectly aesthetic video. Folks were quick to point out how expensive the lipsticks look. That’s when @mikaylanogueira created her own video saying: “These are the most beautiful fall lipsticks I’ve ever seen.” Nogueira applies four shades and finds Desire to be her favorite, but she loves them all. “The way that these are higher quality than a lot of high-end lipsticks says a lot,” she says.

Of course with these testimonials, Milani’s Color Fetish Matte Lipstick is getting tough to find. But don’t worry — we spotted some shades for you to grab before they’re gone again! Ulta has Nogueira’s fave shade in stock (above) as well as a few other deeper nudes.

Milani’s own website just has one shade in stock right now — Sensual, a gorgeous espresso brown that’s perfect for deep skin tones. These sites should continue to restock shades but I’d grab them now while you can. Happy fall!

If you told us a decade ago that the most popular and sought-after hair tools came from a brand also known for building vacuum cleaners, well, we’d probably laugh in your face. But, stranger things, like a pug named Noodle becoming the country’s self-care guru, have happened (and those aforementioned vacuum cleaners are seriously life-altering, so..). Dyson has changed the hair styling game with its iconic set of hair tools, and the one that shoppers seem to love the most is the brand’s Airwrap styler.

What is the Dyson Airwrap? Well, it’s a curling iron alternative that gently uses heated airflow to style hair in seriously bouncy waves. It looks similar to curling wands, but instead of holding your hair into place yourself, the warm air does it for you. This way, heat damage can stay at a minimum. The device comes with several attachments for styling, including two different-sized barrels, a firm and soft smoothing brush, a dryer, and a volumizing brush. All together, this kit costs around $600, so yeah, it’s a bit of an investment.

Because of this, internet sleuths (like myself) and beauty obsessives alike have researched far and wide to find some affordable and affective Dyson Airwrap dupes. These include that Revlon brush that you’ve probably been contemplating buying for the past two years, as well as the styler that’s brand new—and extremely hot—to the hair tools market.

Each of these tools use similar technology to style your hair with precision and minimal damage. Below, check out eight of the best-rated Airwrap dupes that you can buy starting at just $16.

T3 AireBrush Duo

This new hair device is packed with features that will make your blow drying experiencing at home feel less like a chore and more like a salon experience. The device, which comes with two attachments—one flat brush for straightening and one round brush for curling—has a whopping 15 heat and speed combinations so that you can style your hair exactly how you want to.

Not only is this brush designed to work on any type of hair, but it’s made with materials that fight frizz, boost shine, and ensure that your locks will stay secure all day long.

CHI Spin N Curl

With this technologically advanced device, all you really have to do is hold it, and the rest of the work will be done for you. See, it uses air to gently wrap your strands around a ceramic rotating barrel that will then precisely style your locks into glamorous and bouncy curls. Don’t fret about temperature with this thing, either. It comes with pre-set temps based on the thickness of your hair.

More than 13,000 shoppers have given this CHI favorite a perfect rating, and it’s maintained an impressive 4.4-star average rating. Reviewers have gone so far as calling it the “best purchase ever.”

“From the day I got this product, it has become one of my most prized possessions,” wrote one fan. “I was hesitant to buy it since it’s a little pricey, but at 1/5th of the price of the Dyson Airwrap, I thought it was worth a try. It’s so easy to use, because you don’t really have to wrap your hair like you would with a curling iron, it makes doing the back of your head so much simpler.”

The Double Shot Oval Blow-Dryer Brush

It’s simple: This brush makes giving yourself a blowout simple. The large oval design uses a combo of nylon and tufted bristles to gently style (not clamp onto) your hair. Reviewers say it works with a variety of hair types, from thick to thin, and is a foolproof way to get salon-quality hair at home. Worth mentioning: It has the same two-year warranty that a Dyson Airwrap does. Plus, it comes with three temperature settings and it made with “ionic technology” that the brand says reduces frizz and enhances shine.

“This brush works wonderfully,” wrote one five-star reviewer. “It doesn’t snag my hair like another one does, and it dries my hair so fast, without that one patch of still slightly damp hair I normally get. I have finally have that movie star blowout I was always envious of!”

One-Step Hair Dryer & Volumizer Hot Air Brush

It probably doesn’t shock you that Revlon’s One-Step Air Brush is on this list. The best-selling product has been a popular player in the hair market for a few years now, and it’s easy to see why. The device is simple to use—it comes with a cool and hot air setting—and can style your hair into loose curls, sleek and straight strands, or everything in between. It gets rid of the need to have a cabinet full of hair tools since it does everything you could possibly want.

Shoppers everywhere say they’re truly blown away (get it?) by this dependable brush’s functionality.

One reviewer said that after buying an Airwrap, they were “upset as [I thought] the brush attachment would be better for my hair,” but once they landed on this styler, they were hooked. “Possibly the holy grail of hair hair care for me. Just wow.”

Hot Tools Professional One Step Dryer Volumizer

This air styler is gold—literally. The Hot Tools Volumizer has a whopping 12,400 perfect ratings because of its ability to quickly style hair. The three heat settings and two speed options make it easy to find a routine that’s fit for you.

“I love this product,” wrote one five-star reviewer. “It dries and smooths my thick, wavy hair in what seems like record time. I haven’t used my Dyson dryer or my Chi flat iron once since I purchased this! Highly recommend.”

Revlon Hot Air Kit

Yes, Revlon’s One Step brush is known and beloved, but let me introduce you to the brand’s other incredible hair kit. It’s a three-piece set (the appliance and two head attachments) that nearly 3,500 shoppers have given a perfect rating to. In addition to quaffing your locks, this ceramic-coated hair dryer also has a Cool Shot function to lock in your curls. Reviewers say it give “volume for days.” Not to mention, they say it lasts for years.

“I’ve never managed to figure out the at home blow out,” wrote one five-star reviewer. “I’ve tried so many round brushes but the technique just escapes me. If it escapes you too, you need this brush kit. I have very fine, short-ish hair and this gives me volume that lasts two days. I use the short nozzle to dry my hair about 75% or so and then use the larger brush to finish drying in sections. I brush the hair up from the roots for volume and then use it as a round brush to dry the ends. I love having my other hand free to separate and comb through my hair. It makes styling so, so much easier. I can’t recommend this tool enough.”

Phoebe Curling Iron Brush

Retailing for $32, this is a budget-friendly option for those who don’t want to sacrifice quality. The unique design is capable of curling, straightening, or combing your hair. This is ideal for those who may skip the blowout session because their hair is prone to frizz once hot air is added to the mix. While it doesn’t blow dry, the tool does style with ease. Plus, it’s made with ceramic tourmaline, a material that can reduce hair damage, per the brand.

More than 1,500 shoppers have given it a perfect five-star rating, and the styler has an average 4.3-star rating. Those who have tested the device say it’s a no-fuss solution to hair styling at home.

“I have never gotten this type of results with a curling iron. The volume and bounce is amazing for me. This was easy to do. And not too time consuming,” wrote one five-star reviewer. “I’m looking for an easy everyday change for my hair. I think I may have found it.”

3-in-1 Styling Hair Dryer

If you’re a fan of loose waves, or sleek straight hair, this 3-in-1 dryer is for you. It comes with three different comb heads that’ll brush through your hair and tame down any frizz. It’s so effective that even reviewers who say they have coarse, hard-to-dry hair, love this device.

“I have spent THOUSANDS on products claiming to save me time on my hair styling and get it sleek/smooth/straight in one fell swoop. This sweet little thing is the only product that has actually done that,” wrote one five-star reviewer. “My hair is smooth and soft and not dry after using this.”

Are you, like me, an eyeliner fan? I’m constantly on the look for the best eyeliners, and as I grow older and the skin around my eyes is changing, I like to be on the lookout for the best eyeliners for older women.

The skin around our eyes is sensitive and has been through a lot in our lives. Daily makeup application, sun exposure, and a variety of other factors leave that area of skin prone to wrinkles. I know that’s the first place I started noticing wrinkles many years ago, well before any other wrinkles started appearing.

The way we apply eye makeup, and eyeliner, in particular, changes as we age. We can’t slather on the harsh kohl pencil as we used to because it can leave us with heavy-looking small eyes and can actually accentuate the wrinkles.

Eyeliners for older women should have staying power, should offer smooth application, and not should not cause creasing. They can go anywhere from a few bucks at a drugstore to well over $40 for more upscale brands.

We’ve put together a list of our favorite eyeliners for older women. But first, let’s take a look at the different types of common eyeliners on the market today.

Types of Eyeliners for Women Over 50

Your preference for the type of eyeliner you choose to use may change as you get older. Maybe your skin has gotten dryer and your regular go-to pencil eyeliner is now difficult to apply and even leaves creases? Try different types of eyeliners to find the right one that is perfect for you.

Black eyeliner may appear too harsh on women with fairer skin tone. Instead, a gray eyeliner might be more suitable for everyday wear. Women with darker skin tone can opt for black eyeliner as it looks less harsh. Be bold to experiment with other colors such as purple and navy as well. You will be surprised to find one that suits you well!

Pencil Eyeliners

Probably the most common and most widely used eyeliner. Pencil eyeliners are typically easy to apply and glide on smoothly. Also, pencil eyeliners come in a variety of colors. Green? Blue? Purple? Pencil eyeliners have you covered if you like to experiment with colors on your eyes.

Professional makeup artist Ariane Poole gives the following tips to apply your pencil liner like a pro:

‘One thing you need to remember when using a pencil liner is to sharpen it before every use. Not only will this give you a sharpened point to work with, but it also helps keep the pencil hygienic.

To apply pencil liner, hold a high magnification mirror slightly under your chin. This position gives you a nice angle to work from without pulling or tugging on your eyes. Take your pencil and hold it horizontally, then use feathery strokes to apply the liner along the base of your top lashes.

Don’t take the liner right to the end of your lashes as you did when you were younger. Now that you have some years on you, your eyes have likely drooped, and taking the pencil further out will emphasize that, making you look sad or tired.

Instead, just stop slightly short of the end of your lashes for an uplifting look. If you want to soften the line you can use your finger, a cotton bud, or a soft brush.

If you like some definition underneath your eye, you can use the liner there as well. To do that, hold the mirror in front of you, and, holding the pencil vertically, run it softly along the base of your bottom lashes.’

Gel Eyeliners

Gel eyeliners tend to be trickier to apply but you have more control over the thickness of the line that you want compared to pencils. They also are known to have more lasting power and glide on easily.

For the best results Arianne Poole says ‘I prefer a thicker brush because I want a fuller line. You can smudge the line if you want to soften the look. Because the effect of gel liners is quite strong, I wouldn’t recommend them for the lower lashes.’

Liquid Eyeliners

Liquid eyeliners have lasting qualities and strong pigments but may need some practice to get just right. Although they don’t tend to come in a big choice of colors, they come with a fine brush applicator which gives a lot of definition.

Arianne Poole’s top tips for applying liquid eyeliner include: ‘Before applying a liquid liner, make sure you have all the excess off the brush – otherwise you can get a big blob, and it will put you off of liners altogether. Using a mirror on the wall, hold the brush horizontally and tap the tip of the liner along the base of your lashes. The technique is the same as that used with the felt-tip liners. Liquid liners give great definition because the color is a lot denser and makes the eyelashes look fuller.

Felt Tip Eyeliners

These are a combo between pencils and liquid eyeliners. Felt tip eyeliners are typically long-lasting and highly pigmented. These are great for cat-eye looks or if you want to accomplish a very thin line.

Ariane Poole suggests ‘To apply this type of liner, you can use your bathroom mirror. Tilt your head back so that you are looking up your nostrils. Hold the pen horizontally and tap the tip along the base of your top lashes. Using this technique makes the eyelashes look fuller.’

Eyeliner Tips for Women Over 60

So you know the different types of eyeliner and how best to apply them, but how do you get that makeup artist finished look?

Suzanne Blons gives us the following unbeatable tips to get it right:

#1 Get Yourself a Good Magnifying Mirror

This is especially important if your eyesight is anything less than perfect. This strategy comes with a warning however. ‘Do not linger with the mirror over the rest of your face. As women, we are already so hard on ourselves and a magnifying mirror doesn’t help us in this regard.’

#2 The Product Is Important

To apply eyeliner on mature skin, you ideally need a soft pencil that doesn’t melt down your face at the first sign of warmer temperatures or, dare I say it, a hot flash! Cheaper brands are likely to have a harder feel and blend less well. It’s important to try a few brands until you find the one that works for you – our skin is individual and reacts differently, so just because your friend loves it doesn’t mean you will too!

#3 Apply Between the Lashes

Suzanne recommends looking down your nose into the mirror and bringing the pencil from below rather than above the eye-line. You can then apply the product in small strokes that go between the lashes, not on top of them. Starting from the outer edge of your eye and work your way slowly inward, going all the way to the inner corner, using small movements. Pull your eye to the side a little as you work with the liner and it will go on easier.

#4 Blend, Blend, Blend!

To blend the edges to a smoky finish use a stiff, narrow brush and run it over the liner. This technique ensures that your eyeliner isn’t bumpy and messy, but rather soft and without solid edges. Suzanne suggests as much as possible, keep the inner liner as narrow as you can, and the outer liner as blended as you can. If you have dark circles, she would avoid putting eyeliner under the eye as it can draw attention to the circles. If this isn’t an issue for you, then put a little on the outer edge of your under-eye area and blend it with the brush.

#5 Apply Eyeliner Before Eyeshadow

There is no “correct” order to apply makeup, but Suzanne recommends applying your liner first before anything else except an eye base if you use one. Putting liner on first makes any mistakes less dramatic and easier to repair. To avoid any ‘muddy’ looks, be sure to keep your eye shadow color off the already applied liner

She suggests trying your eye makeup in this order: eye base, eye liner pencil, blend the pencil with a brush, crease color, then a dot of something shimmery on your eyelid for a touch of glamour!
