    The Coziest Winter Nail Colors for January 2022

    The Coziest Winter Nail Colors for January 2022

    The beginning of a new year often has us all feeling like starting off fresh by taking on better habits, getting rid of old ones, and—most commonly—changing up our look. While others are hitting the squats and going into the salon for a pixie cut, why not start slow and steady with a cozy winter manicure in a color that feels new to you? It takes only a little courage to step outside your usual OPI Lincoln Park After Dark or Essie Bordeaux, which is all you need to kick 2022 off on a fanciful foot.  From new wintry takes on classic dark nail colors to unique pops of color that'll have you feeling the opposite of boring, these are the best nail colors to try this January and tick off all the way into spring.

    16 Kitchen Design Trends Southern Designers Predict Will Be Everywhere in 2022

    16 Kitchen Design Trends Southern Designers Predict Will Be Everywhere in 2022

    There's no denying how the pandemic fundamentally changed the world—including how we live (and work) inside our homes. An overall trend toward celebrating the history and originality of our homes is displacing ultramodern aesthetics and sharp lines as we all look to create cozier, colorful, more personalized spaces that better suit our lifestyles. We're turning away from big-box stores and toward vintage items—first, out of necessity due to supply-chain issues, and now, for design reasons—to add charm and character to every room in the house, including the kitchen. Here, interior designers from around the South share their predictions for what's trending in kitchen design for 2022 and beyond.

Buying face makeup is like shopping for a pair of jeans: It needs to feel great on, fit your lifestyle, and most importantly, make you ooze confidence. As we age, we refuse to let that goal feel unattainable or unlikely. All you need is a killer antiaging serum and an age-defying foundation that does the rest of the work. 

That's why we can't get enough of the latest foundations hitting shelves that do all that and more. We're all for a skin care-driven foundation formula that not only primes and perfects skin, but makes you look and feel years younger. From minimizing fine lines to smoothing skin texture, there's one designed with every antiaging issue in mind. 

Put your best face forward with these 15 best antiaging foundations for mature skin.

It Cosmetics Bye Bye Lines Foundation

Think of this as a tinted antiaging serum. It's formulated with the youth-enhancing properties typically found in skin care (like collagen, argan oil, caviar extract, and hyaluronic acid) to firm and plump. Pure color pigments are then added into the mix to create an airbrushed finish, which helps disguise fine lines.

We're big fans of this clean beauty brand on a budget, especially the beloved mascara. And now we've found another staple: this skin-correcting tinted moisturizer accessorized with brightening vitamin C. You'll forget all about that full-coverage foundation in your makeup bag. It won't do you near as many favors as this multitasking wonder kid, which claims to prime, perfect, protect, blur, brighten, and lock in moisture for up to 12 hours.

We're not saying we're trying to create an illusion, but if it ends up being a perk…

This is the definition of an antiaging foundation: hydrating, not cakey, firming, and glowy. You know that one really great picture of yourself when the natural light hit just so and your skin looked ah-mazing? That's what it'll look like. Say good-bye to sagging skin, thanks to this non-foundationy foundation.

This new launch feels more like a tinted moisturizer, but in fact covers all of your worries like something magical. Our beauty editor, Patricia Shannon, also sung some major praises: "It's the answer to the antiaging enthusiasts' need for a foundation that works in tandem with their skin care routine, because it is the skin care routine."

What you get: Dewy, lightweight coverage that works hard while you're wearing it, thanks to ingredients like squalane to promote skin elasticity and moisture retention, hyaluronic acid to seriously plump and hydrate, and niacinamide to smooth your skin texture. See? We said it was smart.

We included this all-time best foundation not because it necessarily boasts antiaging ingredients, but because you will never find a foundation that instantly gives you flawless, red carpet-ready skin like it—which is exactly why almost every makeup artist swears by it. The oil-free formula makes sure your pores are minimized, and the finish makes you glow like a summer sunset.

The slightly hefty price tag is worth every penny since its high-tech formula is designed to attack signs of aging on multiple fronts. First, it's infused with waxes that help shape and firm. Then plumping, microscopic bubbles fill in fine lines while a botanical blend of ingredients invigorates skin. The result: a tout, lifted complexion that radiates your younger self.
