Innholdsfortegnelse for June 2017 i Allure

Hair The styling began several days before the shoot, when hairstylist Nikki Nelms began weaving Kravitz’s white-blonde hair into tiny braids that would serve as the backdrop for her artful creations. Once the braiding was complete, out came the crown that Nelms had created with rose-gold wire and hair and adorned with earrings and stones. Makeup “[Her bone structure] is perfection,” said makeup artist Tom Pecheux, who kept Kravitz’s contouring and highlighting to a minimum. He dusted pink shadow on her eyelids, blended a shimmering white shade around the inner corners, and drew blue points under the lower lash lines with liquid liner. He finished with a dab of clear lip balm.…

On Tuesday morning at the Planned Parenthood office in Maryvale, Arizona, eight adults and three children sit in the waiting room. “Yap! Yap! Yap!” A toddler wobbles across the room. “Are you barking?” her father says, smiling. “Come back here, social butterfly!” Diego Rivera’s The Flower Seller hangs on one wall. Two pink posters read: “These doors stay open.” The girl is making a beeline across the room, past a pregnant woman holding an owl-eyed baby in her lap, past a couple filling out paperwork while they whisper and laugh, and straight to the other little girl in the room, who’s wearing a pink-and-purple cape. Every few minutes someone comes in from outside—8 patients become 9, then 10, 11.... “It’s beginning to pick up,” Esther Cervantes says. I thought it…

While most women spent their middle-school years doing things that girls do in middle school, Nikki Nelms was starting a business. “I’ve been doing hair since I was in the seventh grade,” says Nelms. At 12 years old, the industrious young woman was taking requests from her friends and family in her hometown of St. Petersburg, Florida. Twenty dollars per French roll (or braid). A move to Miami put her in the hotbed of music-video production. Next thing she knew, she was putting jewelry into hair for Timbaland and Magoo’s “Indian Flute” music video. In short order, her clientele came to include the A-list—our cover star Zoë Kravitz, Solange, and Björk. And through it all, Nelms has refused to be typecast. One day, a sculptural braided bun for Kravitz. Another…

it’s really easy for me to get—and stay— comfortable. Camping? Not my thing. Ultraendurance mud races? Rather not. In fact, I’d feel very much at home in Scandinavia amidst its many hygge disciples on the hunt for all things cozy. That said, I’ve battled my natural leanings toward comfort for most of my life, understanding that growth (and sometimes silly fun) happens when you push yourself. My latest stretch into the abyss? A day at the massive 40,000-square-foot King Spa & Sauna in Palisades Park, New Jersey. Such supercenters, called jjimjilbang, are popular in Korea, and now more of these spa amusement parks are popping up in other corners of the world. This place is not for the faint of heart. Think of it as a bathhouse for maximalists. First,…

1 For the doll-eyed look at Jeremy Scott, makeup artist Kabuki cut strip lashes into narrow sections and spaced them out along the lower lash line. To pull off this look, you’ll need guts—and falsies designed for the top lashes (ones for the bottom are too short). Glue the longest clumps onto the middle of your lash line for a cartoonishly rounded effect. 2 The chunky lower lashes at MSGM were inspired by Twin Peaks—both are surreal and a little eerie. Hold a mascara wand vertically as you sweep it back and forth across the lower lashes until they’re this spidery. It’ll work even better if you use a ball-tip mascara wand, like It Cosmetics Hello Lashes. 3 At Tadashi Shoji, makeup artist Pep Gay used liquid liner to approximate…

it was a Tuesday. It was probably From left: Kaeding; client Rooney Mara. one of those southern California days you could order from a catalog: sunny, bright, perfect. Cassondra Kaeding, now a colorist at Sally Hershberger in Los Angeles, had only recently moved up from her assistant role at Warren- Tricomi Salon when an actress plopped into her chair. She was wrapping up a new movie and wanted to maintain her character’s ravenblack hair. The actress: Rooney Mara. The movie: The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. The result: success for all. Kaeding, who now calls Amber Valletta, Ciara, and Kate Hudson clients, has since confessed to Mara what a novice she was at their first meeting. “We laughed about it,” she says. And they still work together— Kaeding took Mara…

NAILS Essie Gel Couture On the upside, a gel manicure lasts a superlong time without chipping. On the downside, if it doesn’t look perfect it will look not-perfect for a superlong time without chipping. That’s where Essie’s gel polish comes in. It has a wide, rounded brush that’s “more user-friendly than most—it fits the contours of your cuticle, so you can press down and the color fills in the nail perfectly,” says manicurist Holly Falcone. If you look at it really carefully, you’ll see the brush’s stem is twirled like a Twizzler. The design is meant to dispense exactly the right amount of polish‚ so you get a smooth application of color without “any globby drops that ruin a manicure,” she says. Our least-exacting tester gave it a go, and…

Let’s start with daisies, the flora of little girls’ swimsuits and pinafores. Daisies scattered over rolling meadows—the kind with a light breeze, a beautiful bride, a few tumbling puppies. Or the depletion of white petals in the hands of a young woman. A “loves me, loves me not” ritual. Try to think of something that telegraphs innocence like a daisy. You can’t do it. Then there’s the rose. A rose will woo you, it will seduce you, it will teach you to love, and when the time is right, it will ask for forgiveness. But you’d best keep up because a rose brings with it a dark side. Subversive. This flower is also the hallmark of the wicked. It’s the one that lures you in, pricks your finger, makes you…

A woman enters a tiny nail salon in Phoenix and gazes at the impressive wall of polish. She’s feeling overwhelmed; the bottles progress all the way from pale eggshell to deep eggplant. A helpful young technician with a creative eye approaches and suggests a glossy cranberry lacquer. The woman folds her mouth into a tight line and shakes her head firmly: no. A second technician points to a feisty coral hue, but that doesn’t quite appeal to the customer either. The woman continues to reject the staff’s recommendations (five in all) until the salon’s only male employee strolls up. He reaches for a cranberry polish—the same one his colleague had proposed only moments before. The woman breaks into a smile and gives an enthusiastic nod. “Perfect!” she beams. Celebrity manicurist…

M y mother just bought a donkey.” Safe to say that’s not a line we’ve heard before at an Allure cover shoot. But when the subject is Zoë Kravitz and her costars include a Bengal cat and a white dove, nothing is off limits. The star of this month’s Rough Night (and the daughter of Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet) cozied up with a veritable menagerie for photographer Patrick Demarchelier. “I love animals,” she said. Other loves: a pair of custom-made silk slippers from stylist Beth Fenton that she slipped on, a soy chai-spiced tea, and an eclectic mix of music. With the actress-singer’s iPhone hooked up to the speakers, the New York City studio was filled with Life of Pablo tracks, gospel, and songs by Childish Gambino, adding to the…

there are moments when you know you’ve made it—one of those moments sneaked up on Ilfenesh Hadera from behind a bush. “Dwayne [Johnson] is like, ‘There’s a camera there, there, and there,’ ” says Hadera. She was smack-dab in the middle of a paparazzi stakeout. “I’m flexing. I’m in a bathing suit. These guys are hanging out in the bushes. The next day, you’ve got 50 photos of yourself from every angle online.” She wasn’t caught in some steamy affair or snapped during a tropical getaway. But when those paparazzi lenses zoomed in on the 31-year-old, Hadera (who has an Ethiopian father and a European-American mother and was born in New York City) became a bona fide movie star. It was her first day playing Stephanie Holden on the set…

i can’t define it, but I know it when I see it.” The famous dictum was uttered by Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart upon hearing a case about radiant skin. (OK, maybe he was talking about something else, come to think of it.) Anyway, you get the point: Skin with that ineffable glow is hard to define. It seems to come from eight hours of sleep, a well-balanced chi, and inner beauty. But good news for those of us short on any of the above: It also comes from a few great products and some excellent advice on how to use them. We’ve identified every saboteur standing between your skin and that elusive lit-from-within-ness—and come up with a very concrete plan to unseat it. (And by “we,” we mean us…

We use them to decorate: a ranunculus in our hair, peonies on our desks, lilies on our night tables, even a paper-thin forget-me-not on our cheeks. Here at Allure, we have always celebrated flowers for their ability to make us smell better, to make us look better—to simply make us feel better. Flowers will always come into fashion when political indifference falls out of it. We look to these bursts of color and joy when the world turns dark. And the darker the turn, the more significance our flowers assume. They lift us up when our leaders fail to. Maybe it’s no surprise that the runways this season were in full bloom. Daisies splashed across a trench at Michael Kors or sprinkled over slides at Prada. A hat laden with…
