The 10 Most Flattering Lipsticks For Fair Skin

Jul 24, 2024

As a fair skinned girlie, there are certain lip colors I just have to stay away from. Nudes just blend into my skin color, and dark colors tend to look too aggressive on my face. So, because of this, I go more for mauves, peaches, and light reds to embrace my skin tone and not look too harsh. Finding a new lip color that's just right and flattering for my skin tone is truly the best feeling, because it can be so hard! So I compiled a list of not only my favorite lip products, but also my favorite shades for any other fair-skinned makeup lovers out there. Without further ado, here are the lipsticks!

Sephora

Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Lipstick

Starting off, my #1 favorite is this Charlotte Tilbury creamy lipstick in Pillow Talk. It is the most flattering shade for any skin tone, but it's especially great on fair skin. It's a mauve-y pink that doesn't appear too dark or too pink. It's the perfect dusty shade to give you that "my lips but better" look.

Amazon

Clinique Black Honey Lipstick

This shade went viral in the beauty world for being so flattering on so many people! It may appear dark but when you put it on your lips, it glides into the most stunning "just bitten" color that looks effortless. I love this shade and I love this product!

Amazon

Milani Color Statement Lipstick Shade 78

For only $5, you truly can't beat this Milani Lipstick! I'm a huge mauve-lipstick-gal because, being fair skinned, it's the easiest color to blend in. You know you can't go wrong with a mauve color when you have fair skin! Adding this deal to my cart immediately...

Amazon

YSL Candy Glaze Gloss

A lot of matte lipsticks tend to look too harsh on me, so I opt for more glossy colors like this one. Especially if I'm going with a darker color, like a red, I want it to be a gloss or tint. I have this YSL Candy Glaze in so many colors because of how nice it goes on the lips, and how long lasting it is.

Mac

Mac Lipstick Warm Teddy

I have been using this lip color for years, and will never get sick of it. It's one of my go-to daily colors. It's a dark pink, almost peachy color, and the staying power on this one is incredible! It really lasts all day, especially if you line your lips as well.

Amazon

Mood Matcher Color Changing Lipstick

This lipstick is special because it's color changing and matches your lip color and skin tone perfectly. This makes it the most ideal lipstick that's made just for you. I love this one, and will continue to use it for years!

Amazon

Kosas Lip Oil

I'm a sucker for a good lip oil, and this Kosas one is phenomenal. It makes your lips look so juicy and pink. Plus, this shade looks incredible on anyone that has fair skin! Be prepared for your lips to look amazing in this lip oil.

Sephora

Summer Fridays Lip Oil

Summer Fridays can, quite frankly, take my entire wallet. I love every product they've released, including these new lip oils. The come in the smoothest, juiciest formula and the shade range is perfect for fair skin. They're all pretty light but have a stunning tint to them. My favorite is the darkest shade, Rosewood Nights, paired with a lipliner. You'll get the most gorgeous mauve shade you'll want to wear every date night!

Amazon

Palladio Cheek and Lip Stick

A lip and cheek product is a great way to not only have dual purpose items, but also make your entire makeup look more flattering. This stick can go on your cheeks, lips, eyes, anything — you name it! It's a gorgeous peach color that will give you a summer glow.

Amazon

Maybelline Super Stay Crayon

A great way to find a good product for fair skin is to try lining your lips with a color and then just doing a light gloss or balm over top. That way it looks more natural and light! This Maybelline crayon will seriously stay all day so you won't have to worry about it budging. It's a 10/10 for me!

8 “Stunning” Ann Taylor Dresses I’m Shopping For Spring

Ann Taylor’s spring dress collection is just too good. They always nail polished styles that still have the perfect amount of playfulness! From fun prints to more basic colorways, these stunning spring dresses from Ann Taylor can take you practically anywhere in style.

Scroll on to shop 8 Ann Taylor dresses I'm definitely eyeing for spring!

Ann Taylor

Belted Sheath Dress

Springtime is prime time for pastels, and this light pink number nails the seasonal color. It's pretty polished in the details throughout, plus it's all cinched together oh-so nicely with the thin belt around the waist.

Ann Taylor

Studio Collection Silk Flutter Sleeve Midi Dress

Oh, yeah. The ruching on the side of this silky midi is nothing short of flattering – I could definitely see this style working wonderfully as a wedding guest dress.

Ann Taylor

Striped Pleated Sweater Tank Dress

With contrasting vertical and horizontal stripes, this sweater-y (but still lightweight) tank dress doesn't have to work too hard to make a statement. Thus, you can easily pair it with some basic black shoes and a colorful cardigan to complete your spring look.

Ann Taylor

Tweed Sheath Dress

This color, though! Aside from the stunning buttons and modest coverage, I love the bold shade of this dress for spring. Again, it really speaks for itself, so you shouldn't have to dress it up too much to pull a 'fit.

Ann Taylor

Square Neck Flare Dress

Easy-wearing and oh-so soft thanks to the light material it's made of, this midi dress is practically begging to become your everyday piece this spring. A square neckline is always flattering, plus this design's skirt is the right amount of casual.

Ann Taylor

Dotted Crepe Column Midi Dress

Polka dots are the pattern to rock this season, so I'm obviously eyeing this chic silhouette. It's fairly free-flowing, but comes with a sleek belt at the waist to gather your look together.

Ann Taylor

Denim Sheath Dress

Denim dresses are everything to me, and I love that this one makes a more formal departure from the other casual denim pieces in my closet. It definitely has a workwear quality to it – I'd wear it with ballet flats and a polished cardigan for an easy, yet put-together spring outfit.

Ann Taylor

Striped Smocked-Waist Midi Flare Dress

Hello, waistline! This midi comes complete with a smocked waist that flatters your bod to a tee.

10 Movies We're Devastated To See Leave Netflix This April

When Netflix refreshes its content library each month, viewers everywhere are presented with shiny new titles to choose from. But at the same time, we're also forced to say goodbye to others.

April is no exception, and several fan favorites across genres are slated to leave the streaming platform. So, if you've been meaning to rewatch the classic rom-com Love Actually or check out Hereditary, the horror film that had everyone talking in 2018, now is the time.

Here are five titles that have already departed the streaming giant as of April 1 and where else you can find them now, as well as five more that you can still watch before they're gone for good on Netflix.

Scroll to see all the movies leaving Netflix for April 2025...

Paramount Pictures

1. Interstellar

Christopher Nolan's Interstellar is a sci-fi epic that explores survival, sacrifice, and the unknown of space. Set in a future where Earth is becoming uninhabitable, the film follows former NASA pilot Cooper, played by Matthew McConaughey, as he embarks on a mission through a wormhole to find a new home for humanity.

If you missed this blockbuster 2014 movie before it left Netflix on April 1, don't worry. You can still catch it on Peacock, Paramount+, and Prime Video.

Warner Brothers

2. Happy Feet

Happy Feet quickly became a heartwarming childhood classic after it premiered in 2006. The animated film tells the story of Mumble, an emperor penguin who, unlike his peers, can't carry a tune. However, he makes up for it with his top-notch tap-dancing skills.

As Mumble struggles to fit in, his story teaches viewers about self-acceptance and embracing individuality. Happy Feet departed Netflix on April 1 but is available on Apple TV and Prime Video.

New Line Cinemas

3. Rush Hour

Rush Hour is an action-comedy movie that pairs martial arts legend Jackie Chan with Chris Tucker for a ridiculously funny adventure. The plot centers around the kidnapping of a Chinese diplomat's daughter in Los Angeles, prompting a Hong Kong Detective named Lee, played by Jackie Chan, to be sent to the United States.

Yet, the FBI doesn't want anything to do with Lee, so they stick him with eccentric LAPD Detective Carter, played by Chris Tucker. Even though the pair has their differences, they wind up learning to work together in order to crack the case.

Unfortunately, all three Rush Hour movies are no longer on Netflix as of April 1. To catch up on this film series, rent them on Prime Video.

Universal Pictures

4. Love Actually

Love Actually came out over two decades ago, in 2003, but despite its age, the movie has remained a holiday favorite. It weaves together nine interconnecting stories that explore the many forms of love.

From a newly elected prime minister, played by Hugh Grant, falling for a junior staffer to a sister struggling to balance family and romance, the plot captures both the joys and complexities of relationships.

If you missed this feel-good film before it said goodbye to Netflix, you can still find it on Prime Video and Apple TV.

Warner Brothers

5. Space Jam

Space Jam is a '90s classic that brought together basketball legend Michael Jordan and the iconic Looney Tunes.

When an evil alien theme park owner named Swackhammer sends his minions to capture Bugs Bunny and the rest of the gang to serve as an attraction at the park, Bugs challenges them to a basketball game to win their freedom. The stakes get tougher when the aliens steal the skills of NBA stars like Charles Barkley and Larry Bird, so Michael Jordan steps in to help.

Space Jam may have vanished from Netflix, but it's still available to stream on Hulu, Paramount+, Prime Video, and Apple TV.

Paramount Pictures

6. A Quiet Place Part II

This gripping sequel, which came out in 2020, thrusts viewers back into the post-apocalyptic world created by John Krasinski, who wrote, directed, and co-produced the film. There, silence is key to survival because blind aliens that hunt by sound have taken over.

In A Quiet Place Part II, Emily Blunt, John Krasinski, Millicent Simmons, and Noah Jupe appear in the same roles, along with newcomers Cillian Murphy and Djimon Hounsou. Be sure to watch it before it leaves Netflix on April 12, or catch it later on Paramount+, Prime Video, and Apple TV.

A24

7. Hereditary

Written and directed by Ari Aster, Hereditary is a psychological horror that earned its place as a modern classic. In fact, it boasts a 90% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which isn't easy to come by.

Hereditary follows a family who, after the death of their secretive grandmother, start experiencing eerie and unsettling events. This film is set to leave Netflix on April 15, and following its departure, you can watch it on Prime Video and Apple TV.

Nickelodeon

8. The Legend of Korra

The world quickly fell in love with Avatar: The Last Airbender when it was first released in 2005. The Legend of Korra is a continuation and centers around a fearless girl named Korra, who steps into her role as the new Avatar.

Set 70 years after Aang's time, Korra arrives in Republic City to master airbending when she finds herself caught in the middle of political unrest and a rising anti-bending movement.

The Legend of Korra features stunning animations and complex themes, but sadly, all four seasons of the show are leaving Netflix on April 16. After that, you can watch them on Paramount+, Prime Video, or Apple TV.

Sony Pictures Entertainment

9. No Hard Feelings

No Hard Feelings is a raunchy yet surprisingly heartwarming comedy that stars Jennifer Lawrence as Maddie, a woman on the verge of losing her childhood home. So, she takes on an unusual job: dating a shy, awkward 19-year-old, played by Andrew Barth Feldman, to help him break out of his shell before college.

This rom-com is filled with sharp humor, but it'll no longer be on Netflix following April 21. Stream it before then or catch it afterward on Prime Video and Apple TV.

Universal Pictures

10. Minions

Finally, Minions, which came out in 2015, is actually a prequel to the 2010 film Despicable Me. It follows the yellow creatures as they search for a new villain to serve, ultimately landing on Scarlet Overkill.

Minions is an enjoyable watch for people of all ages. Catch it before it leaves Netflix on April 25, or find it afterward on Prime Video and Apple TV.

Yay! Kylie & Jason Kelce Just Had Baby No. 4!

As much as we love talking about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce...Jason Kelce and his wife Kylie Kelce deserve their time in the spotlight too! They have a loving and hilarious dynamic that's somehow made room for not one, but three kids. And guess what? They recently welcome baby number 4! From their very funny announcement to everything they've said since, there's a lot of fun to unpack here.

Here's everything to know about Jason Kelce & Kylie Kelce's exciting pregnancy!

OMG, when did Kylie Kelce give birth?

View this post on Instagram
A post shared by Kylie (McDevitt) Kelce (@kykelce)

Kylie and Jason welcomed their fourth daughter March 30, according to PEOPLE, but an official announcement was shared via the couple's joint Instagram post on April 1. "Whoop, there she is! Finnley “Finn” Anne Kelce 3/30/25," reads Kylie's caption and we think it's the cheekiest way to describe her arrival.

The subsequent photos of Finnley are just as cute as she's seen wearing the cutest floral onesie and being held by her parents. Call us biased, but she has the most precious face we've ever seen. Even her uncle Travis thinks so!

PEOPLEalso reports the NFL player incredulously told his brother how much he wanted to see Finnley after the latter asked how he felt. "Yes, I want to see my new niece, Jason! You only sent one picture. You didn’t even tell me what name you picked yet."

But his complaints stopped the minute Jason showed him Finnley during their latest New Heights podcast episode. Travis immediately melted and said, "Hey, little muffin! Look at you. You hanging out with Mom? Tell Ky I said hello. I’m glad everything’s going great." He even thinks her name is "adorable."

When did Jason and Kylie announce she's pregnant?

Amazon Prime

Kylie Kelce shared the huge news on Instagram November 22nd! Of course grandma Donna Kelce was the first to leave a comment. She wrote, "🔥🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍 Love it!!!" Brittany Mahomes also commented by writing, "Ahhhhhh Congrats you guys!!!🥹🤍."

How did Jason and Kylie's other daughters react?

Amazon Prime

In Kylie's same Instagram post, her and Jason's daughters can be seen expressing a range of emotions. There's an 'Eek' expression from their oldest daughter Wyatt, a happy look from their middle daughter Elliott, and pure tears from baby girl Bennett. Kylie wrote, "I feel like we captured a very accurate representation of how each of the girls feel about getting another sister. At least Ellie, mom and dad are on the same page! 🤷♀️"

How did Jason and Kylie prepare to be a family of six?

Amazon Prime

Jason Kelce took the news of being an official girl dad like a champ. He told E! Newshe's "got it pretty easy" because "the clothes are all going to be hand-me-downs or already bought." Not only that, but they'd already secured a baby crib prior to their newborn's birth.

“I love my kids so much, and especially my daughters,” he added. "I was telling somebody out there because they're expecting their first — and they look at you. They smile at you. There's just a way that kids have to warm your soul in a way that nothing else can.”

He also shared his excitement about watching his daughters grow up with a new sibling. "And hopefully we'll welcome a fourth into this world, and we'll be able to watch them fight and tear each other apart and all the good stuff."

He even appeared on The Rich Eisen Show where he joked, "I'm screwed [in] like in 10 years. The moment they’re all in middle school, I feel like it’s just gonna be chaos." He also hopes Wyatt "can start helping out a little bit more." But, he's still looking forward to it! "I obviously have not had a son, but there is something about a daughter in the way I think as a dad, you feel an extra amount probably of protection and love toward that child," he shared.

What did Kylie say about her fourth pregnancy?

Kylie previously opened up on her new podcast, Not Gonna Lie, about her feelings on her fourth pregnancy. At the time, she said she was "so incredibly grateful to be able to get pregnant, but it is a means to an end." She further said, "When I tell you that I cannot stand being pregnant, I mean it. I don't have a a fun time."

If that sounds a little uh...negative, it actually makes a lot more sense when she explained more! She elaborated, "I am nauseous for most of my pregnancy. It tapers off a little after the first trimester, but I continue to have nausea throughout my pregnancy." Woof, I know that's tough!

Kyle continued by explaining she hasn't even really had the fun, wacky cravings many pregnant people get — instead she had more "aversions" in each of her pregnancies. I'll take cravings over aversions any day!

The podcast host then joked, "When you're super pregnant and someone comes up to you and says, 'Isn't this just the most beautiful thing ever? 'I want to punch you in the face. I'm not going to, but I want to."

Did Natalia Grace's Parents Go To Jail? Here's What Really Happened To The Barnetts

Ever since Good American Family premiered on March 19, there has been renewed interest in the real-life adoption case of Natalia Grace.

The latest Hulu series stars Ellen Pompeo as Kristine Barnett, who adopted an orphan from Ukraine with her husband, Michael Barnett. However, after taking in Natalia, who had a rare form of dwarfism, Kristine began to suspect that she was an adult pretending to be a child.

New episodes of Good American Family are being released on Wednesdays, but as we wait to see what happens next in the TV dramatization, many fans are wondering whether Natalia's adoptive parents ever faced jail time. Here's everything we know.

Scroll to find out what happened to Natalia Grace's adoptive parents, Kristine and Michael Barnett...

Who is Natalia Grace Barnett?

Max

For those unfamiliar with the infamous case, Natalia was born in Ukraine in 2003 and was first adopted by a different couple, Dyan and Gary Ciccone, back in 2008. She only lived with the Ciccone family for two years before they claimed her behavior was disruptive and relinquished their parental rights.

This led Natalia to be placed up for adoption again, and in 2010, the Barnett family welcomed her into their Indiana home. She was thought to be 6 or 7 years old at the time, but soon afterward, the Barnetts claimed Natalia had adult traits, such as adult teeth and body hair, and believed she wasn't actually a little girl.

Additionally, they alleged Natalia was a "sociopath" and had tried to harm them and their biological children, Jacob, Wesley, and Ethan.

What happened to Natalia Grace and the Barnetts?

Max

The Barnetts ultimately petitioned an Indiana court in 2012 in order to change her birth year from 2003 to 1989. Legally, this made Natalia 22 years old, and she was placed in a Lafayette, Indiana, apartment by herself; meanwhile, the Barnetts relocated to Canada with their three sons, Jacob, Wesley, and Ethan.

Afterward, the Barnett family reportedly cut contact with Natalia, who moved in with another couple, Cynthia and Antwon Mans, about one month later. The Mans family petitioned to become her legal guardians in 2016, and by 2023, they were able to legally adopt Natalia.

What happened with Natalia Grace and the Mans?

Max

Nonetheless, Natalia wound up leaving Cynthia and Antwon's home by the end of 2023 after alleging they were controlling. She currently lives in upstate New York with the DePaul family and appeared in the docuseries The Curious Case of Natalia Grace: Natalia Speaks. There, she called the Barnetts abusive and alleged Kristine had hit her with a belt and pepper-sprayed her.

What happened to Kristine and Michael Barnett?

Max

Following their move to Canada, Michael and Kristine eventually got divorced but maintained that Natalia had exhibited violent behavior. Some allegations include that she'd appeared at the foot of their bed with a knife in her hand and attempted to poison Kristine's coffee.

Despite the fact that they filed the petition to change Natalia's age in 2012, Michael and Kristine weren't charged until 2019. They faced multiple counts of neglect, but Michael was found not guilty in 2022, and the charges against Kristine were subsequently dropped in 2023 after Michael testified in her pretrial.

Kristine Barnett reportedly wrote in a since-deleted Facebook post, "If there had been any abuse of Natalia or evidence of it, I would have been found guilty of it, and I would be in jail. I believe Natalia takes advantage of that sympathy to manipulate people."

Michael filed for divorce in 2014 and later appeared on The Curious Case of Natalia Grace: Natalia Speaks. As for Kristine, she has mostly flown under the public radar.

Still, following the finale of the docuseries, Kristine shared a long post on Facebook, responding to allegations against her.

"Natalia was a very much loved and cared for member of my family. She was not abused by anyone in my family. Let's get straight to these allegations. Nobody ever took a belt to Natalia, and the allegations that she was 'beaten' are just plain false. Any discipline of Natalia was very minimal and not out of the bounds of normal parenting," she wrote.

Natalia went on to call the docuseries "highly sensationalized," adding, "Michael Barnett and Natalia Barnett may have the same monster, but that monster is not me. That monster, whether it's mental illness, sociopathy, or whatever it actually is, may be different for each of them. But it's within their own psyche."

Who plays Natalia Grace Barnett today?

Disney/Ser Baffo

In Good American Family, Imogen Faith Reid plays Natalia Grace, and Mark Duplass depicts Michael Barnett. Ellen Pompeo has said the latest series intends to show both sides of the adoption story in an "intentional and thoughtful" way.
