Sommaire pour June 2019 de Marie Claire

This month, give yourself permission to have fun. Consider our June issue your dedicated reminder to tap out all those unused vacation days and your inspiration to enjoy every last drop of the season. Everyone needs to go offline every now and then—even the boss—so we asked seven female founders about their plans to relax and reset. Their wish lists include everything from indulging in TV binge sessions to jet-setting to the Amalfi coast (“Summer Memo: Relax!” p. 72). In case you’re not in the market to skip town, we outlined a stress-free summer party plan to bring the fun to you (“Drink to That,” p. 80). We traveled to Miami (where it’s always summer) to learn what makes the locals feel South Beach–level confident (“What I Love About Me,”…

The next big thing in the world of superheroes? Powerful African women. Award-winning Nigerian American sci-fi writer Nnedi Okorafor, whose memoir, Broken Places & Outer Spaces, is out this month (TED Books), is the woman behind a host of high-profile projects featuring strong African superheroines. The Chicago-based Okorafor, 45, is writing installments of a hugely popular Black Panther spin-off about Shuri, princess of Wakanda and brilliant scientist, and her 2010 novel, Who Fears Death, which follows a young woman with magical powers in post-apocalyptic Sudan, is being made into an HBO series coproduced by Okorafor and Game of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin. Inspired by her Nigerian roots, Okorafor draws on African culture, politics, and myths for her work, which includes six novels and numerous comics. “I create black female…

Marie Claire: How did you come up with the idea for this novel? Elizabeth Gilbert: For years, I’ve wanted to write a book about promiscuous girls—having been one, having known a lot of them—and I felt there was something missing in the Western canon of literature, a story about women with really active sex lives whose lives are not destroyed by it. That doesn’t mean there aren’t consequences, and it doesn’t mean that there isn’t learning and growing and even pain. It just means that they don’t end up ruined, because that tends to be what the story has always been, and I’ve been frustrated with that as a female reader. MC: I’m curious about how you researched this book, because every few lines there’s something so specific—a landmark, a…

THE LOOK ELECTRIC LINER Smoky shadow has a place and time—and it’s not June. In summer, a minimalist swipe of a maximalist color, like this neon green spotted at Christian Siriano’s spring show, looks (and feels) so much fresher. To get the look, try NYX Professional Makeup Vivid Brights Liner in Vivid Escape ($7). —Jennifer Goldstein OUR OBSESSION LUXE LIPS Gucci Makeup has arrived, and it’s so Gucci. The line, reimagined under creative director Alessandro Michele, launches with 58 lipstick shades across three formulas (satins, sheers, and balms), all packaged in retro-fabulous tubes. Michele says, “Lipstick is the most beautiful object you can find inside a handbag.” To which we say: Now it is. —J.G. THE GADGET SCULPTOR The Kairetool may look like it belongs in a repairman’s toolbox instead…

1. LAUGH IT UP A genuine smile, often called a Duchenne smile, is one in which your lips are turned up and the skin around your eyes wrinkles. The expression is named after French researcher Guillaume Duchenne de Boulogne, who said that the combination of these two factors reveals true happiness. 2. DON’T SKIMP ON SELF-CARE Being kind to yourself can brighten your outlook. Researchers at the Ohio State University found that activities like journaling, exercising, meditation, spending time with supportive friends, and eating nutrient-rich foods are all linked to positive body image. 3. DIG IN An apple a day doesn’t necessarily keep the doctor away, but eating healthfully (that apple included!) may help boost your body image. A study from the University of South Carolina found that among people…

How does sunscreen actually work? There are 14 common sunscreen ingredients available in the United States, and they fall into two groups. Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, often referred to as “natural,” “mineral,” or “physical” sunscreens, are the ones that sit on the surface of your skin and reflect UV light. The other 12, including oxybenzone, avobenzone, and octisalate, are typically called “chemical” sunscreens, and they sink into your skin’s top layer and absorb the sun’s rays before they can cause damage. “If you put 10 dermatologists in a room and gave us a choice, we’d all pick the physical blocker,” says Dr. Dendy Engelman, assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Albert Einstein School of Medicine–Montefiore Hospital in New York City. “They’re more effective, safer for everyone—including babies—and work instantly,…

Marie Claire’s April 2019 issue was devoted to our very first class of Change Makers—the actresses, screenwriters, directors and multi-hyphenates who are on a mission to change Hollywood both on- and off-screen. To commemorate their incredible progress, we partnered with TIME’S UP™ Entertainment and MCM to throw our first-ever Change Makers celebration. The evening, which took place on March 12th in Los Angeles at the exclusive Hills Penthouse, was designed to empower women everywhere. In that spirit, guests were encouraged to bring a rising star, someone who embodies the entertainment industry’s bright future. To begin the night, Marie Claire Editor-in-Chief Anne Fulenwider, TIME’S UP™ Executive Director Nithya Raman, and MCM Chief Visionary Officer Sung-Joo Kim addressed the crowd and shared their personal experiences within the industry, kicking off a truly…

She’s the First I have been an avid reader of Marie Claire for years. March’s issue was especially beautiful. I congratulate all of the women who made their debut as firsts in public office, which included the first two Native American women elected to office. I am Alaskan Native–Aleut/Inupiaq and have sat on the board of the Aleut Corporation as president for a year. I could go on about the many firsts I have encountered in my 60 years of being an educated Alaskan Native. Thank you again for this issue and keep it coming! —Martha Malavansky Mother. Doctor. Wife. Addict. Thank you for running this story. The only way we will begin to address this epidemic is if we get ahead of it, and the only way we can…

The best way to celebrate the start of summer is with a party, right? But between planning, playing DJ, and cleaning up, hosting a shindig can be a real pain in the glass. So this season, throw a celebration you’ll actually enjoy, neither hurried nor harried. “When I have people over, I don’t want to be knocking over cocktail shakers and looking for bitters,” says Maggie Hoffman, author of Batch Cocktails (Ten Speed Press). “The hostess shouldn’t be stressed.” That fun-first attitude is why we asked Hoffman to adapt one of her make-ahead cocktails just for Marie Claire readers (inspired by one from Morgan Anders of Rob Roy in Seattle) and suggest some entertaining tips so you’ll feel as relaxed and carefree as your guests. DO THE MATH: When premaking…

“What’s your sign?” has become the question everyone uses to get to know one another better. We’re all aware there’s no scientific basis for astrology, but it’s not like it’s not true—right? How else to explain those Sagittarius exes who couldn’t commit? Or that Cancer coworker who’s always moody in meetings? As a Libra, I feel compelled to put the truth out there: Research shows people do conform to their zodiac characteristics, but only when they know what those traits are. (It’s an example of a psychological phenomenon called stereotype threat.) But I’d hate for that news to upset you. And, like a good Libra, I want to avoid conflict and surround myself with pretty things.…So, maybe I’ll tell you about these gorgeous astro-inspired beauty finds instead: tattoo stamps, perfumes,…

“A makeup artist taught me to heat up my eyelash curler with a hair dryer before using it. It makes the curl in your lashes last a lot longer.” “When I get off an airplane and have to continue on with my day, I put this mascara on and feel like a brand-new person.” “It’s an everyday fragrance. It’s light and simple, and the bottle is beautiful. It looks good on a sink, no?” “I put this on before I go to sleep. It’s really thick and hydrating.” “I don’t know how to contain the beast that is my hair, but I’ve been using Pantene’s foam conditioner lately. It’s genius. It moisturizes my roots without getting greasy.” As a human, I’m constantly changing—with beauty and everything else I do. I…

From the minute you color your hair (or a pro does it for you), the timer starts ticking until your next date with the dye. Roots are the telltale sign it’s time to re-up, but even before they appear, strands can start to look…off. Every hair color shifts, depending on your natural shade and the arrangement of the color molecules that make up the hue of your particular dye, explains Garmon Ng, a colorist at Serge Normant in New York City. “Blue fades first, then it’s red, then it’s yellow. So, for example, brunettes usually fade to a warmer color.” Redheads are prone to dulling: They lose their vibrancy almost immediately, then shift toward yellow. As for blonds, the effects vary: Golden tones can develop a greenish brassiness, while platinum…

My husband, Jeremy, does this thing with envelopes. He always asks if we have any, even though I’ve shown him where they are a hundred times. They’re on the shelf with the other stationery items, near the pens, just above the photographs of our children that we have duplicates of but still can’t throw out and menus that we also haven’t thrown out. They’ve been kept there for decades, in skinny ledges that resemble mail slots. A complete stranger to our home, casting around the room, would immediately detect that this was the ideal envelope-holding situation. Doesn’t matter. Every time my spouse needs to mail something, he says, “Do we have any envelopes?” On the surface, it seems such an innocent question, and the answer so easy: “Yes, sweetheart. They’re…

SLOANE DAVIDSON HELPING REFUGEES FEEL AT HOME HER INSPIRATION: In 2016, Sloane Davidson welcomed a family of Syrian refugees into her Pittsburgh home for Thanksgiving. They quickly bonded, and after the meal, Davidson began helping them navigate life in a new country. “The little things I was doing were meaningful,” says Davidson, 39. “But more than anything, they felt they had an American friend.” HER BIG IDEA: She wanted to help others form similar relationships, so in 2017 she launched Hello Neighbor to match refugee and immigrant families with locals. Davidson started with a Valentine’s Day crafting event attended by 350 people, including the mayor; soon, she had matched 25 families from seven countries with mentors. THE RESULTS: In the past two years, 72 families from 11 countries, including Algeria,…

For all the talk of increasing inclusivity on television, few shows walk the walk quite like Vida, the Starz series created by Tanya Saracho. With only six episodes in its first season, the engrossing drama about two estranged Mexican American sisters—Emma (played by Mishel Prada) and Lyn (played by Melissa Barrera)—received immediate acclaim for showing characters who don’t often appear on mainstream shows. Emma, for example, is queer, Latinx, and struggling with the untimely death of her mother, who she never made peace with after coming out and getting rejected. (Only later do we learn that her mother came out as a lesbian in her golden years.) In its second season, premiering May 23, Vida will dive even deeper into the sisterly relationship at its core. “This season, we see…

“Simplemente deja que fluya.” This Spanish equivalent of “Just let it flow” is how shaman Lorena Villanueva López greets me at the entrance to a domed stone sweat lodge situated on the property of Ex Hacienda San Antonio Hotel and Spa in San Sebastián Teitipac, Oaxaca, Mexico. I’m here with nine others to experience a temazcal, the Nahuatl term for both a sweat lodge and the ritual that takes place inside: a steam treatment doubling as a healing ceremony that has been practiced by Mayan, Aztec, and other Mesoamerican cultures for centuries. Villanueva López is our temazcalera, or guide, for the treatment, and she can sense my unease. I am all in for the detoxifying powers of the steam but nervous about some of the ritualistic aspects. “Simplemente deja que…

Q: Is curiosity the key to a fulfilling life? We are born curious. From birth, babies want to explore their surroundings. The entire industry of baby-proofing grows out of their inborn need to touch, see, taste, and experience the world around them. As children’s senses and capabilities develop, their sense of wonder expands too. They venture into the unknown with great interest and an unbridled desire to know more. But as adults, many of us lose this sense of discovery. We get so busy looking for answers, we forget to ask questions out of fear of the unknown or because we don’t want to disrupt our routine or because we are just too busy dealing with our daily lives. Playing it safe prevents us from being overwhelmed and creates a…
