Innholdsfortegnelse for September 2024 i Marie Claire Australia

The other day in the office, we were chatting through our morning makeup routines. I explained that my face is typically done while driving to work. Sometimes I make it to mascara, and other days those lashes are left crying out for some love. You get the picture – my makeup is done on the go, in a rush, and is not always blended. I’m unapologetically not good at applying makeup. It’s too fussy, takes too long, and don’t even get me started about the number of times I’ve attempted red lipstick or eyeliner on the top lid (because, you know, other women make it look easy) only to have to remove everything and start again. I like to keep beauty simple. So when I heard that Celeste Barber was…

NORA HEYSEN She was the first woman to win the Archibald Prize, in 1938, and at age 27 remains the youngest winner. Her portrait was of Adine Michèle Elink Schuurman, the French wife of the Dutch consul-general. Heysen was also the first woman appointed as an official Australian war artist, in WWII. TRACEY MOFFATT The first Australian Indigenous artist to present a solo exhibition at the Venice Biennale (in 2017), Moffatt is one of our most renowned artists, with works held in major international galleries as well as Australia. She is both photographer and filmmaker, and her films have screened at Cannes as well as in a retrospective at New York’s Museum of Modern Art.

◆ If you want to use the services of a psychic or clairvoyant, make sure you know the total cost and exactly what you will receive, says ScamWatch. Ask if there are any conditions and ongoing or hidden costs. ◆ Decide on your “psychic budget” for the year, and make it sensible. ◆ Look for testimonials and recommendations from trusted sources. ◆ Work on exploring your own intuition through meditation – no-one knows you better than you.…

In her early twenties, Sophie* was on a gap year in Europe, working and living in a hostel in Budapest and running its pub tours. It was a whirlwind of new friends, international travel on her days off and, of course, cute boys. “There was a guy on one of the tours, and we were flirting and drinking, and later we went back to the hostel,” she says. “One of the perks of working there was that I knew which rooms were empty.” One thing led to another, they started having sex and “towards the end, he put his hand around my neck”, she recalls. He didn’t ask first. “It took me by surprise and I was a bit frightened. I just waited to see if anything else was going…

GO-TO RECOMMENDATION THE INVISIBLE LIFE OF ADDIE LARUE BY V.E. SCHWAB “So cleverly written – I am so jealous of V.E. Schwab for coming up with the idea. It’s about how we leave our mark on the world through art, and it’s utterly unique and sweeping and brilliant.” THE BOOK THAT CHANGED MY LIFE GONE WITH THE WIND BY MARGARET MITCHELL “It is problematic in many ways when viewed through a lens of white privilege, but it was the first book I read at 13 where I stopped and thought, ‘I can do this. I could be a writer.’” FAVOURITE CLASSIC THE SUN ALSO RISES ERNEST HEMINGWAY “I am a sucker for an unrequited romance. I remember reading this in college with my then-boyfriend and trading passages back and forth…

Shine on and on Fan favourite YSL Loveshine has been updated with a fresh formula and range. With 12 shades, the new Candy Glaze collection delivers a glassy finish with the moisturising qualities of a balm, thanks to hyaluronic acid. Meanwhile, the original Loveshine wet shine’s upgraded formula still imparts plenty of gloss but now has the benefit of fig pulp (from YSL’s Ourika Community Garden in Morocco) and comes in six new buildable neutral shades.…

A lot of people have this distinct point in their life when they go from being healthy to suddenly sick, and then everything changes. But I was pretty much unwell from the day I was born. We tested for absolutely everything you could possibly think of from when I was about four, but couldn’t find a cause. I was sick with a lot of things that could easily be passed off as other things. There was nothing really distinct except that I spent years on and off with these mouth ulcers – my mouth would be full of them and I’d even get them on the outside of my mouth. Not many people know that ulcers are a [major] symptom of Crohn’s disease. It got to a point where teachers…

Fragrance and luxury expert, Nathalie Helloin Kamel, CEO of the fragrance division at Give Back Beauty, spoke to marie claire recently about Le Parfum and what this iconic scent represents to the house’s creative visionary, Elie Saab. Tell us about the inspiration behind Le Parfum? The inspiration came from Elie Saab himself. It pays tribute to one of his childhood memories: the scent of his garden in his hometown of Beirut, the Mediterranean city kissed by warmth and light, and animated by a sparkling nature full of scents. Orange blossom and jasmine represent the fabulous flowers, and the cedar from Lebanon represents the rigorous wood. The honey rose bridges these two worlds. As Saab says, “My childhood home was surrounded by orange blossom and when the wind blew it carried…

CLEAR THE WAY Reformulated to help with the tricky skin issue of pigmentation, this supplement by Vida Glow has been part of my daily quest for clearer skin. It’s stronger and faster acting than its predecessor, and the potent formula now has a blend of maritime pine bark, artichoke extract and alpha-lipoic acid to help reduce the appearance of issues such as melasma, sun spots, age spots, dark spots and skin redness. Bring it on. BRIGHT EYES This eye cream from Philosophy does some serious heavy lifting. Infused with vitamin C, hyaluronic acid and clever oxygen-boosting tech, it helps to brighten, smooth and refresh the appearance of tired eyes. I am using it morning and night to allow me to fake the look of nine uninterrupted hours of sleep. BALMY…

“You get used to criticism, but on the other hand it chips away at your defences” The first time I received public criticism was over my essay about a young girl in Texas, who had been gang raped. The New York Times had published an article lamenting the effect this assault would have on the town. My response was: who gives a damn about the town, let’s worry about the child. The town is not a victim. Usually I take most criticism far too personally, but in this instance I decided that if you are criticising this very-easy-to-get-on-board-with issue, that’s a huge problem and not something I can even begin to address. I always encourage people to have good discussions about my work. The issue is not criticism but harassment…

It’s a bone-chilling morning inside a draughty Sydney photography studio and Celeste Barber is hurling demands. No, the success of a hit Netflix series and global stand-up comedy tours hasn’t turned the entertainer into a power-hungry tyrant. Nor has the announcement that the star is stepping into her business-mogul era as the founder of beauty brand Booie. Instead, the Australian multi-hyphenate is trying her hand as an amateur DJ on set of her marie claire shoot. “Queue up Kylie’s ‘Padam Padam’ … Can we play Dua Lipa’s ‘Houdini’ and ‘Training Season’ next? And add ‘Birds of a Feather’ by Billie Eilish to the playlist, please,” quips Barber as she contorts her body into high-fashion poses. “I’m trying to do a Zendaya,” she says in that self-deprecating style of hers that…

The quartet Little Mix were assembled on the UK’s X Factor in 2011, transcending their TV origins to sell more than 60 million records worldwide, three million concert tickets and over 9 billion streams on Spotify. In classic girl band fashion, one member, Jesy Nelson, jumped ship in 2020. Little Mix continued on until 2022 as a three-piece before announcing a hiatus – not a split – leading to solo careers. Now Leigh-Anne Pinnock is tapping into her R&B roots with her latest release, the EP No Hard Feelings. “I wanted to follow my heart and bring something you wouldn’t have seen in Little Mix,” she says. “Something new. I’ve found my freedom – I feel there’s no rules.” Pinnock is leaning into her Barbadian and Jamaican heritage, as well…

A look without accessories is not complete,” Rosalía says with a laugh. “A very simple look made with basic elements can be elevated so easily just with accessories … and of course a bag! I put practically my whole life in there, so if it’s a beautiful bag on top of that, like the Lady Dior, then that’s el súmmum – the best!” As a Dior ambassador, Rosalía stars in the Lady Dior campaign, bringing her creative flair to the iconic architectural bag. “It was a fabulous privilege for me to be part of this campaign,” she tells marie claire. “I loved doing the photos. Dior clothes and accessories help you feel self-confident, and prove that strength and delicacy can go hand in hand.” It’s the perfect summary of the…

SOMETHING WE SHOULD ALL BE DOING is using treatments on our hair. If you’re using any hot tools or blow-drying, use heat protectant. It really helps to protect your hair from styling damage. And if you want your locks to be glossy and shiny, you need to spend time doing treatments to get hair healthy. I USE OUR NEW OUAI HAIR GLOSS after shampoo and conditioner. I leave it in for five minutes then rinse out. That is all it takes. It lasts for three washes and makes your colour look so good. It helps to get hair glossy and makes it feel smooth and super hydrated. JUST AS WE MOISTURISE AND NOURISH THE SKIN it’s important to do the same for our scalp … the skinification of our hair…

Smells good enough to eat? You’re probably in the presence of a gourmand scent. Think warm caramels, punchy berries and freshly squeezed citruses, bottled. Dessert has proven to be the favoured course, with drool-worthy vanilla, chocolate and tonka bean on the want list, according to fragrance expert Laura Curtis. “We’re seeing more people engaging in niche and luxury perfumes for the first time, which has led to a greater demand for gourmand fragrances,” she says. Most gourmand notes are sweet, but they can also be watery, bitter, sour or powdery – just like food. When temperatures rise, Curtis suggests “looking for fresh, fruity notes. They wear beautifully as they have a light, refreshing vibe that make us feel cooler in warm weather.” But apply with caution. Just like real desserts,…

Genevieve Taubman is living a double life. Founder and CEO of high-profile PR and communications agency The Mint Partners, Taubman and husband Hamish Campbell are used to the hustle and bustle of the city. Until, that is, they leave it all behind. “Tasmania is our escape from Sydney,” Taubman says of the family’s regular retreat to Leighton House, a 19th-century homestead that’s been in the Campbell family for 40 years. The couple recently renovated and expanded the home, transforming it from a charming farmstay to a luxurious getaway destination that sleeps up to 12. Nestled between Ben Lomond mountain and the South Esk River outside Launceston, Leighton House’s wraparound verandah provides sweeping views of the 121-hectare property. It’s a world away from innercity Sydney. “You have no choice but to…

LIVING THE DREAM Retreat: Inspired Homes and Ways of Living by Lucy Glade-Wright highlights how the concept of escaping urban life has evolved. Showcasing 24 spectacular residences nestled in diverse landscapes – from coastal havens to secluded bush dwellings and mountain retreats – there’s a Balinese-style villa, an unexpected ski ranch in the Sonoran Desert and even a converted bus named Gloria. The book also delves into the transformative impact these homes have had on their owners’ lives. $59.99, out September 3. CHECKING-IN INTERCONTINENTAL AUCKLAND Imbued with sophistication and charm, InterContinental Auckland stands as a beacon of luxury at 1 Queen Street. Nestled along the picturesque Waitemat? Harbour, the hotel’s grandeur blends with the vibrant energy of Commercial Bay, and offers guests an experience worthy of the city’s dynamic cultural…

Jennifer Robinson has spent many hours describing home. From the salty spray of Seven Mile Beach to the bush ballads of birds at Bomaderry Creek, stories from her sleepy home town on the South Coast of New South Wales were a prized commodity for her high-profile client and fellow Australian Julian Assange during his years in exile. For 12 years, as the WikiLeaks founder moved from political asylum in the Ecuadorian Embassy to a high-security London prison, he would beg his lawyer for stories of home. On June 26, Robinson brought Assange back to Australian soil after a politically charged legal battle. Assange had been avoiding extradition to the United States for publishing leaked government documents, and at one point was facing sexual assault charges in Sweden, which were eventually…

If Vidya Makan was to describe her Hamilton love story, she would set the scene with an accidental meet-cute. “In my third year of uni, my family and I went on a trip to New York. One night, we were walking past a theatre in Manhattan and there were these candlesticks and wooden tables out the front,” recalls the 30-year-old musical-theatre performer. “At the time we hadn’t heard of the production, but I later realised that was the original Hamilton set!” Less than a decade later, Makan would get a phone call to say she had landed the highly coveted role of Eliza Hamilton in the 2024 Australian production. “Being a woman of colour and coming into this industry, I never saw anyone who looked like me playing these types…

MY NAME IS BARBRA By Barbra Streisand, on Audible, $43.99. “My first foray into listening to the actual writer reading their book changed me forever. Hearing Babs read in her New Yawk accent with hilarious quips in between made me realise what a treasure she is. From her upbringing in dirt-poor Brooklyn to her beginnings in theatre, her work in Hollywood and her fabulous loves along the way, it was a rollicking listen/read by the living legend herself.” – Juanita Field, marie claire creative director THE FRIDAY AFTERNOON CLUB By Griffin Dunne, on Audible, $24.99. “Each morning, as I grip the grimy handrails of the train carriage, I retreat to an alternative reality where Joan Didion is my aunt, Carrie Fisher is my housemate and Janis Joplin and I move…

“No superhero movies, no hard drugs,” was the advice Leonardo DiCaprio gave his Don’t Look Up co-star Timothée Chalamet. This was two years ago, back when Timmy was the internet’s boyfriend (pre-Wonka) and Leo was still living off the residuals of being a ’90s heartthrob. Marvel Comics and DC movies may not be high-brow enough for our parasocial boyfriends, but when it comes to our A-list girl crushes and fashion muses the advice is seemingly the complete opposite: if you want to get anywhere in this biz, you need to join a franchise. A comic book movie is a death knell for the Serious Man but necessary for an Already Talented Woman to get industry attention. The idea seems to be that their stints in these franchises will be small…
