A trip to cloud nine is a big lift (it’s a long haul, expensive, hotel rooms get sold out, etc.). But dreamy cloud skin is a pretty good compromise. This soft-focus, matte, marshmallowy look is an angelic wedding day look that isn’t very hard to achieve. “It’s basically just healthy, fresh-looking skin without a reflective … Read more
We’ll be honest: “Serena Williams makeup line” was not on Allure’s 2024 celebrity beauty brand bingo card.
