Time to twin! Influencer Haley Kalil sat down with ET at the BeautyStat Power Pout Lab Pop-Up in New York City on May 13 to share how Angelia Jolie inspires her makeup routine and more beauty tips.
The social media star, 32, is often compared to the actress, 49, by her followers due to their stunning shared features, which include plump lips.

“I’m obsessed with Angelina Jolie. She is so beautiful and seems so kind. I love her classic black liner and natural glam. I also loved her makeup in the movie Salt, but of course, her most iconic look will always be the red lip. It’s classic Angie,” Kalil notes.
Ron Robinson, BeautyStat founder, says, “Your lips are one of the most delicate and vulnerable parts of your skin. … They are prone to dryness and chapping and need protection from UV rays and free radicals. … Pure Vitamin C boosts the benefits of sunscreen, so we combined the two and added a sheer tint of color.”

“I’m a natural redhead, which means I’m pale as paper, and I need to be really careful in the sun. The C Lip Serum has SPF built into the formula, but it’s also light on the lips and never gets sticky,” Kalil adds.
After the comedian applies her hydrating balm, she feels ready to hit the town — or beach.
“At the end of the day, we are all just meat bags walking around on a floating rock, so wear that bikini. If someone has something mean to say about it, that says more about them, not you,” the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model explains.

She continues, “My body has changed so much over the years and my confidence in my body has been all over the place. Sometimes, even when my body was at its best, I was my least confident. It’s truly a mindset. … Find happiness in your life, your family, or your career and everything else will come.”
Molecular testing can be used to assess drink quality
Evgenii Parilov/Alamy
Drinks manufacturers and consumers may soon have a small, portable kit, not much bigger than a covid test, to check the quality and safety of alcoholic beverages.
The device is being described as an “artificial tongue” because it can detect additives, toxins and the sweetness of the drink with just a few drops.
Shuo Huang at Nanjing University in China says that while this first generation of the new technology can’t yet test for date rape drugs in spiked drinks or detect methanol contamination, which recently resulted in the deaths of six backpackers in Laos, future versions may.
Current methods for analysing alcoholic drinks, such as liquid chromatography, involve expensive and cumbersome laboratory equipment, requiring expert technicians to operate and analyse samples.
The artificial tongue relies on biological nanopore technology. This uses a modified organism such as a bacterium with a small hole or pore, just a few nanometres in diameter, in its cell membrane. By charging the membrane with electricity, small molecules of the substance being tested can be pulled into and through the pore.
As these molecules pass through the nanopore they create a unique electrical signature, which can be analysed to identify the chemicals present in the sample. Nanopores have already revolutionised DNA sequencing, allowing the almost-instant testing of genetic material with a device that can be easily transported.
Huang and his colleagues used a nanopore already deployed in DNA sequencing, made with a bacterium called Mycobacterium smegmatis.
The device uses artificial intelligence to identify the molecules passing through the nanopore, including flavour compounds and additives, says Huang. “The sensor will immediately tell us what kind of alcoholic beverage it is,” he says. “It can provide a quantitative standard for the product and also easily spot counterfeit alcoholic beverage products as well.”
The nanopore detector only needs a source of electricity to operate, he says. “This nanopore sensing assay can be carried out at home, in the office or by the roadside as well, as simple as a covid test,” Huang says. “The only thing you need to do is to add a drop of alcoholic beverage to the sensor and wait for the result. The machine learning algorithm will do the rest of the job for you.”

Mention asbestos and disease, and most people’s thoughts turn to old, unstable floor tiles or insulation in homes or offices, or jobs in shipbuilding or construction – the kind of heavy industries that employ men in hi-vis jackets and hard hats. One place we don’t tend to think of it is in the beauty industry; rarely do we consider nude eye-shadow palettes or peachy pink blushers as health hazards.
Yet scores of British women are taking leading cosmetic companies to court in the United States, claiming that they contracted mesothelioma – a particularly nasty, treatable, but incurable cancer of the lining of the lung, heart or stomach – through their use of beauty products.
The ingredient they hold responsible is talcum powder, which is ubiquitous in makeup. You’ll find it in bronzer, blusher, eye shadow, foundation, mascara, lipstick and even dry shampoo, because it does an excellent job in absorbing moisture and preventing caking. Talc is a mineral that is mined from underground clay deposits – but it can also often have veins of asbestos present in it.
Almost all of the big brands use talc in their cosmetics, and they reject any suggestion that they may be tainted. The Estée Lauder Companies group, which includes Clinique and Bobbi Brown as well as Estée Lauder itself, said: “We only use talc that is tested and certified as asbestos free. Additionally, all our ingredients undergo a comprehensive safety review and evaluation, and our products are safe for their intended use.”
Certainly, the majority of people who have been using these products for years haven’t developed mesothelioma, partly because asbestos isn’t distributed equally in talc (which makes it especially hard to test for), but also because we’ve been fortunate that asbestos fibres haven’t lodged in our pleura (which lines our lungs) or peritoneum (the membrane lining the abdomen).
Hannah Fletcher wasn’t so lucky. In 2016, she was working for British Airways in a high-flying communications job. She started feeling exceptionally tired and began suffering from stomach pains. She went to the doctor and was diagnosed with peritoneal mesothelioma, caused by exposure to asbestos, and was told that she likely had a year to live. She was 42 and had two children, aged four and 10.
Fortunately, she has outlasted that prognosis. In the years since, Fletcher has had almost every treatment imaginable: in a 12-hour operation, her spleen, gall bladder and appendix were removed, along with her womb; she has had immunotherapy and chemotherapy; and recently had a clot on the lung. It wasn’t until every other potential source of exposure had been ruled out that her solicitor sent a tissue sample from her peritoneum for a biopsy. She came back with an extraordinary finding: it contained fibres of asbestos in talc.
The culprits were her mother’s loose face powder, makeup and talc (which Fletcher had played with as a child), and her own later use of foundation and eye shadow. With the help of her solicitor, Harminder Bains of Leigh Day, she took legal action in the US – partly because this is where most of the big cosmetic brands are based, but also because it’s difficult to claim compensation for mesothelioma in the UK unless it’s been caused by your employment.
She sued. “I wanted justice and to raise awareness,” she says. “Some of the things I’ve had to do as a mother, like write letters to my children before the operation because there was a high possibility that I wouldn’t survive. I’ve missed so many family occasions because I’ve just been too ill to attend, and I feel like my children’s childhood was stolen from them.”
Fletcher agreed to a substantial financial settlement out of court in May 2023 and her case has opened the door for dozens of other British women with mesothelioma to take legal action in the US against cosmetic companies. Some cases have settled, but many more are going through the courts. Fletcher is one of the few people prepared to talk publicly about her condition and case.
She can’t tell me what the settlement was, nor which companies she sued – those were the conditions of the nondisclosure agreements she was required to sign. But it wasn’t difficult to discover that they were Clinique, Estée Lauder and Avon, as there are court documents giving her leave to sue these companies that are in the public domain.
In 2020, Jade Jenkins – another woman from the UK who is suing cosmetics companies in the US – was in her mid-30s when she started having stomach pains that felt like heartburn. A scan revealed peritoneal mesothelioma.
“When I was told I had one-to-two years to live, I was shocked and panicked. I wear makeup every day, and to find out that the thing I put on my face which I’ve been buying since I was 12 years old caused this was awful. I felt sick and guilty, and so did my mum because we both wore the makeup and could have exposed each other.”
There have been periodic scares about cosmetic talc, but the world’s attention around the issue increased in 2018 with an avalanche of lawsuits against Johnson & Johnson (J&J), alleging that the company’s Baby Powder and other talc products were contaminated by asbestos (though most claimed they had caused ovarian cancer rather than mesothelioma). A Reuters investigation into the company’s internal documents found that J&J had known for decades that asbestos had lurked in its Baby Powder. It is currently facing around 54,000 lawsuits related to talc in Baby Powder, but maintains that its products do not contain asbestos and do not cause cancer.
Cancer Research UK says that there’s no good evidence that using talcum powder causes cancer, although again it refers to ovarian cancer, not mesothelioma, and calls for bigger and better studies. The UK’s Cosmetic, Toiletry and Perfumery Association says that: “Any allegation that talc as used in cosmetic products as sold in the UK is potentially unsafe would be a very serious matter. We believe that there is no basis for such an allegation … All ingredients within cosmetic products must be safe and ingredients are regularly reviewed by independent scientists. If an ingredient were found to be unsafe when used in a cosmetic product, it would be banned.” Its consumer information website notes that: “The two most recent studies investigating whether cosmetic talc could cause mesothelioma … found no causal link.”
It is true that studies have found that cosmetic talc is not causally related to the development of mesothelioma. However, one of the main problems with claims about the safety of cosmetic talc is the method used to test it for asbestos. The most sensitive – and therefore most reliable – method is transmission electron microscopy, but the most common method used by the cosmetics industry is X-ray diffraction. This is less sensitive – it can’t detect levels beneath 0.5%, but it allows the industry to claim that its talc contains “no detectable asbestos”. As one peer-reviewed paper documenting the talc industry’s insidious influence over regulation and public health policy observes: “‘No detectable asbestos’ is not the same as ‘asbestos-free’.”

Its authors, who include British medical anthropologist Tess Bird and David Egilman, an American clinical professor of family medicine and epidemiologist, argue that the very notion of “cosmetic talc” (as distinct from “industrial talc”) is a “marketing construct”: “The TM&MCs [talc mining and manufacturing companies] have long been aware that historical and current tests for asbestos in talc reveal that talc is not and never was asbestos-free … ‘no detectable asbestos’ essentially allowed for asbestos to be present in levels that were undetectable based on the test method.”
A 2020 study analysis by geologist and mineralogist Sean Fitzgerald (et al) using transmission electron microscopy found asbestos in three out of 21 powder-based cosmetic products bought in the US. A 2020 paper by pathologist Theresa Emory (et al) examined the cases of 75 people with malignant mesothelioma, whose only known exposure to asbestos was repeated exposure to cosmetic talcum powders, concluding that cosmetic talc may have been a cause.
The most significant recent research has been conducted by occupational medicine doctor Jacqueline Moline (et al). Her 2023 paper presented the cases of 166 people with mesothelioma, all of whom had cosmetic talc exposure. A 2020 study by Moline (et al) had described 33 cases of malignant mesothelioma among individuals with no known asbestos exposure other than cosmetic talcum powder. After doctors employed by the talc companies challenged the data in this earlier paper, Moline re-reviewed all the cases, noted that one individual had an additional source of potential asbestos exposure and issued a correction to that effect.
Nevertheless, J&J has gone after Moline and Emory, alleging fraudulent research that disparaged its reputation. Last September, Moline asked the court to dismiss the case against her, arguing that it was an attempt to “intimidate” and silence scientific experts. Her lawyers argued that instead of litigation, J&J should publish its own studies and let the scientific community decide (the usual way of settling scientific disagreements). Moline’s motion to dismiss is pending. J&J declined to comment.
The lawsuit is only the latest in a long history of attempts, often ad hominem, to discredit or undermine the scientists and lawyers who cast doubt on cosmetic talc’s safety. The most persistent line of attack is that they’re motivated by money – the fees they get for representing or testifying on behalf of plaintiffs suing for compensation. Of course, the experts who appear for the cosmetics and talc companies are also paid and, as Egilman points out, using transmission electron microscopy to test cosmetic talc for asbestos “is expensive work to do. Somebody has to pay you to do it,” he says.
For the alleged victims, the idea that their cases are all about the money is insulting. In 2021, at the age of 34, Tennessee-based Sarah Plant was diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma, 10 months after the birth of her third child, when “I stopped singing to my kids ’cause I couldn’t breathe”. After surgery leading to sepsis, chemotherapy and radiotherapy (which took her away from her children for 22 weeks), she’s suing talc suppliers, cosmetic companies and J&J, “to get it off the shelves … If my children lose their mother, if my husband loses me, you try telling them it’s about money.” J&J again declined to comment.
Harminder Bains, Hannah Fletcher’s solicitor, has personal experience of the devastation caused by mesothelioma: her father died of it in 2000. “I deal with every case like it was my dad’s case,” she says. Sylvia Jackson, 69, who was diagnosed last year with peritoneal mesothelioma (“I’d never heard of it – it takes you weeks to learn to say it”), is suing because “we don’t have private insurance. A successful claim would allow me access to treatments which can cost tens of thousands [of pounds] and aren’t available on the NHS – that’s my main hope”.
Perhaps most shocking is the fact that it doesn’t need to be this way. Another ingredient exists that performs the same function in cosmetics as talc but is incontestably safe: corn starch. Some cosmetic companies have started using it to replace talc.
Just not in my products. Cosmetics companies are required by law to list their ingredients, so it wasn’t hard to start checking out the contents of my makeup bag. I gasped when I looked up my fragrance-free, much-admired Clinique eye shadow. The first ingredient? Talc. Scanning the ingredients of my Rimmel mascara, I gasped again: buried in there but clearly listed was talc. I have binned them both.
Then there are the “clean beauty” brands. These vegan, cruelty-free brands are talc-free, surely? It seems not. Dr Hauschka uses talc in its cosmetics, but told me they“only use raw materials of the highest quality … the absence of asbestos has always been confirmed by our suppliers and … we regularly commission independent laboratories for testing … As a cosmetic ingredient on the skin, talc is a proven and safe component of Dr Hauschka products.”
Living Nature similarly says that it “uses some of the purest talc on Earth”; while Victoria Beckham Beauty research and development “only work with manufacturers that source the mineral from companies who properly mine the ore and test and certify that their talc is free from asbestos fibres”, using optical and electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction.
There are a number of big-name, talc-free brands, such as Bare Minerals, Glossier and Ilia, as well as smaller ones like Zoeva, Zao and Manesi 7. While Bobbi Brown’s eponymous company uses talc, with her new brand, Jones Road, the makeup artist was“insistent on pivoting to clean beauty, and one aspect of being a clean beauty company is ensuring there is no talc in the formulas”.
My daughters and I now only use talc-free products. The whole subject, though, raises the question of risk. Sarah Plant has strong views on the subject. “If anyone was asked, ‘Do you wanna wear this makeup, if there’s a chance that, if you breathe it in, some day you’re going to have a disease that could end your life within nine months?’, people aren’t gonna choose that. We make those choices based on our understanding and knowledge.” Plant was an English teacher; “My job now is literally staying alive. This is where I landed because of the information I had when making those decisions.”
In 1924, Nellie Kershaw – a Lancashire textile worker – was the first person to have asbestos cited as a cause of death on her death certificate. How can it be that, 100 years on, asbestos has penetrated into our bathrooms and bedrooms? All the lawyers, doctors and people with mesothelioma I talked to want to see cosmetic talc banned; we need a mass national or international campaign to make this happen. In the meantime, we’ll have to learn to scan cosmetics labels in the way many of us now do with food labels. It would be a start.
Nuxe’s Huile Prodigieuse is the definition of a cult product. The multitasking formula coats your skin, face and body with nourishing and restorative oils. It was created back in 1998 and has stood the test of time – in fact, one sells every seven seconds worldwide. While its quick-drying finish makes it easy to slot into your routine, its addictive aroma is likely what will keep you coming back for more. There are three fragrances; the original, Neroli and Florale – and it’s the latter that has caught our attention this month.
The new addition to the collection takes the Florale scent and steps it up a few notches with ultra-fine natural-origin pearl particles. The glimmering element offers a natural glow when applied to the body. It has the same vegan formula as its predecessors, harnesses the power of seven botanical oils including tsubaki, macadamia, argan, borage, camellia, hazelnut and sweet almond and is brimming with antioxidant power. The beautiful scent combines notes of grapefruit, orange blossom and magnolia with a white musk base.

We love designer beauty as much as the next person, but your everyday drugstore product can be just as good, if not better. And there’s no superior way to uncover the best of affordable beauty than by looking at red carpet picks from A-listers and their makeup artists.
The 2024 Met Gala was the ideal case study. First off, the makeup had to look flawless in real life. Secondly, and arguably most importantly, it had to photograph well. Plus, it needed to last. From L’Oreal to Revlon, the biggest stars certainly didn’t shy away from bargain beauty. In fact, both Madelyn Cline and Ashley Graham wore full faces of Revlon, and Elle Fanning, Kendall Jenner and Camila Cabello all used the same L’Oreal highlighting skin tint to achieve dewy perfection.
Whether you’re looking for full coverage glam or neutral staples to add to your everyday routine, here are the tried-and-true drugstore beauty products with prices that just can’t be beat.
L’Oreal Paris True Match Lumi Glotion
To say L’Oreal’s Lumi Glotion was the product of the 2024 Met Gala is truly an understatement. Elle Fanning, Kendall Jenner and Camila Cabello used this hydrating skin tint to add that enviable glowing-from-within look. It works just as well on its own for a no-makeup makeup look.
Revlon Powder Blush
When it comes to powder blushes, Revlon makes one of the best and most affordable celebrity favorites. Both Madelyn Cline and Ashley Graham wore the popular shade Naughty Nude (006) to the Met Gala 2024 for a neutral, bronzy finish.
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick
If you’re looking for the perfect lip to match your nude cheek, Revlon’s Super Lustrous Lipstick in shade Bare It All (755) is the way to go. It’s another favorite that MUA Jen Tioseco used in Madelyn Cline’s Met Gala makeup to achieve her “soft, fresh and whimsical” appearance. And if you’re in the market for something other than nude — you’re in luck — this best-seller comes in 72 shades total.
L’Oreal Paris Infallible Fresh Wear Matte Bronzer
If you’re on the hunt for a matte bronzer, look no further than L’Oreal. Camila Cabello wore it to the Met Gala in tandem with the brand’s Infallible Matte Blush for a natural flush of color.
NYX Ultimate Utopia 40 Pan Palette
When it comes to event eyeshadow, the more the merrier, and there’s no better example of this than NYX’s creamy pressed pigments in matte and metallic finishes. At the 2024 Met Gala, makeup artist Erika La’ Pearl used shades of green from this $35 palette to seamlessly match Cardi B’s emerald necklace, contacts and nails.
Maybelline Lash Sensational Waterproof Mascara
This is Sofia Richie Grainge’s go-to mascara (and the one she wore during her jaw-dropping wedding). It’s also just $10. Richie’s makeup artist Pati Dubroff used the waterproof formula for her big day, but you can also score it in a washable version if you’d prefer.
Physicians Formula Murumuru Butter Bronzer
Speaking of Sofia Richie Grainge, she calls this bronzer one of her “secret faves” in a viral TikTok video. Use the included sponge applicator or do like Sofia and apply with a big fluffy brush to get her signature sun-kissed glow.
The Met Gala is always a fantastic celeb-spotting event. We love to see who switches up their look, who keeps things natural and who is frankly, completely unrecognisable.
The social channels are packed with our favourite looks but the one we couldn’t stop gushing over was from actress Michelle Williams.
Swapping her trademark blonde pixie crop for a pastel pink hue, Michelle looked like a pixie fairy on the Met’s green carpet, dressed in a voluminous white Chanel gown.
The Fabelmans actress routinely relies on her favourite makeup artist, Angela Levin to create her beauty look and the Met Ball was no exception.
Posting on Instagram, Angela went into detail about the inspiration behind Michelle’s look: “When I was thinking about my makeup inspiration for this years exciting Met Gala, I wanted to create something ethereal but with an edge, which represents Michelle at her core. What came to mind was an image of an angel in a French new wave era. And there it was, my inspiration was born.”

According to Angela, the focus was primarily on Michelle’s eyes and she used a plethora of Chanel eyeshadows blended together to create a bespoke purple hue.
She also shared a very handy tip when perfecting a deeper, smokier eye: “In order to create a combination of softness and edginess with the eyeshadows, I didn’t want to have any sharp lines. It’s important to use a circular motion as you’re layering the eyeshadows on the eye.”
Michelle’s ‘French new-wave angel’ makeup complemented her white Chanel gown
“I started with the lightest colour in the inner corners of the lid, and as I travelled outward I applied gradually darker shades, blending seamlessly, creating an ombre effect.”
In our opinion, the ‘French new-wave angel’ look that Angela and Michelle came up with was one of our favourite looks of the night and embodied the theme of this year’s Met Gala Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion in such a different but elegant way that we’ve never seen before.
Iconic makeup artist Pat McGrath revealed she was the woman behind Pamela Anderson’s makeup for the 2024 MET Gala, and to be honest, we should have known as soon as we saw that glow.
The mua wrote on Instagram: “ICONIC ELEGANCE. Stunned by Pamela Anderson dazzling in a complete Pat McGrath Labs look featuring and .”
The comments section had people rushing to praise Pamela’s minimal makeup look, commenting that she looks “natural”, “fresh”, and “stunning”, and I immediately felt compelled to write this article because I too thought she looked incredible (she also looks amazing without makeup as well).
What’s more, I needed to rave about the blush Pat used on her because it really is THAT good and it’s a regular fixture in my makeup bag.
For those of you who don’t know, Pamela wearing makeup at the MET Gala was kind of a big deal. The 56-year-old told Elle magazine that she stopped wearing makeup after her longtime makeup artist and friend, Alexis Vogel, died from breast cancer in 2019.
At the time, she said: “She was the best. And since then, I just felt, without Alexis, it’s just better for me not to wear makeup.”
After being photographed on lots of red carpets without makeup – and generating a tonne of headlines – Pamela revealed in a November 2023 interview with People that she was stunned by how much attention she would get for going makeup-free in public.
“I call if Life-ing, not ageing,” Pamela said. “Chasing youth is futile. All we can do is embrace who we are at the moment we are in, and be okay with where our feet stand right now.”
She added that she isn’t too bothered about looking her age. “I can just be me. It’s very freeing to be comfortable in your own skin.”
Let’s revisit the blush that was used. Trust me, this is next level good. And I’m not even a big fan of a cream blush. Here I am wearing it in this photo…
First of all, it’s important to stress that Pat McGrath is hailed as the mother of make up, and is one of the world’s most loved and celebrated British artists to ever grace the faces of catwalks and magazines.
The glow-boosting cream blush stick gives you a real fresh-from-the-spa glow with complexion-reviving translucent colour.
It’s packed with a blend of moisture-enhancing shea butter, squalane and passion fruit seed oil alongside a trio of hydrating actives.
It’s not greasy, it’s easy to apply and even easier to bleng and it basically glides on the skin and gives you a glossy finish. You can even swipe it across the lips as well as the cheeks.
It’s not cheap but a little goes a long way.
GET THE PAMELA ANDERSON MAKEUP LOOK
Pamela kept to the strict dress code for the MET Gala. The theme was ‘The Garden of Time’ and she opted for an ethereal look wearing a custom fawn crinkled chiffon gown with micro pleating designed for her especially by Oscar de la Renta.
She completed her outfit with a necklace made from 227 carats of lab-grown Pandora diamonds.

Reflecting on her Met Gala debut, Pamela told the Times that it “means a lot” to her that she was invited.
“I feel like everything has led me to this pinnacle moment where I get to be at the Met, being respected and accepted by Anna Wintour. I can imagine that in the past I was not someone she would ever take a second look at. I wasn’t in fashion, ever. I wasn’t cool. And I know those things may seem really superficial to some people, but it means a lot to me.”
