Jones Road's Just Enough Tinted Moisturiser Has Arrived And It's The Antithesis Of What The Foundation
Now, Bobbi Brown has launched a new base product that's completely different to its counterpart – lightweight, nourishing and easy-to-apply, the new Just Enough Tinted Moisturiser has all the characteristics the former foundation didn't; making it the perfect solution for anyone who prefers a skin-nourishing formula throughout summer.
Below, ELLE UK caught up with Bobbi Brown to discuss summer make-up tips, new beauty launches, and what's next for Jones Road...
'It was really important to me to create this product because I knew that there were customers who felt like something was missing. Something lighter that just felt different on the skin; this gives the appearance that you're not wearing make-up – that's the secret of Just Enough Tinted Moisturiser and I think one of the secrets behind Jones Road, too.'
'What The Foundation provides buildable coverage while the Just Enough Tinted Moisturiser is light coverage for the days where you don't need a lot. If you have oily skin it may not be your go-to but the formula is very hydrating and sits comfortably on the skin. It also doesn't dry down; it's not bouncy and emollient. We worked on this for over a year and tried it on so many people with different skin tones and skin types. I am probably the hardest judge when testing formulas, so when most people say that they love it, I would still say it's not there yet; I wanted to make something that I couldn't imagine making any better.'
'As you get older, your skin gets drier, no matter the season, so it's important to keep your skin moisturised. In the warmer months, you may start to feel like you want less moisture, which is ok, but you just need to make sure that you're still using products that don't dry out your skin.'
'I think you should do whatever makes you feel your best. That could mean something different for everyone. I believe in knowing who you are and owning it. This message puts you in the driver's seat to make decisions in your life, whether it's what make-up to wear or the clothes you go out in the world in; you're the decision maker in your life, and you should do what makes you feel the most confident.'
'My Aunt Alice used to say "If you're unhappy, find out what's causing it and see if you can do something about it. Aside from illness, there's nothing you can't find a way to fix."'
'We have so much coming out this year. I'm really excited for autumn because my tenth book is coming out and we're celebrating Jones Road's fifth anniversary, so you know we're going to plan some new products and exclusive launches for that.'

'The Handmaid's Tale': Yvonne Strahovski Explains Serena And June's Finale Face-Off
*This article contains spoilers For six seasons, Serena Joy Waterford has evolved from a quiet enforcer of Gilead's oppressive regime to a woman caught between survival and redemption. As The Handmaid's Tale wraps up its final season on July 5, all eyes are firmly on Serena's highly anticipated resolution. Ahead of the finale debut, Yvonne Strahovski, who portrays Serena spoke to ELLE UK and revealed all pertaining to her character's evolution, the moments that defined her as a villain, and whether she deserves the forgiveness of those that she has directly harmed - namely June Osbourne (Elisabeth Moss). As an early advocate of Gilead's regime and the former wife of Commander Fred Waterford (Joseph Fiennes), Serena has for the most part been a high-ranking figure in Gilead's power structure. That is until her vision of women having a singular purpose - to be domesticated - was realised, and she too became one of the most tragic victims of her own manifesto. As Strahovski puts it, 'She's a character full of contradictions. She's not someone who easily accepts blame, but she knows the weight of her choices.' This awareness of the choices she's made, combined with the inability to fully comprehend who she is outside the oppressive system she helped build, has shaped Serena into one of the show's most morally complex characters. Strahovski continues, 'She's spent so much time in a world that she helped create that it's hard for her to even see who she is outside of it.' For all her cruelty, Serena is not without her moments of vulnerability, and one of the most interesting aspects of her character is her bond with June. Though she has inflicted unspeakable suffering on June throughout the series, there's an odd, shared understanding between the two women. They recognise each other's suffering, and in the finale's final moments, it's this nuanced relationship that defines Serena's tragic resolution. Strahovski doesn't sugarcoat the issue of forgiveness. June's act of forgiving Serena is one of the most shocking twists in the final season. However, Strahovski views June's decision not as a form of absolution for Serena, but rather as part of June's own healing process. 'June's been carrying so much rage for so long,' Strahovski states. 'I think this moment of forgiveness is more about June letting go of the anger that has defined her entire journey. It's not about Serena getting a free pass. It's about June finding a way to heal.' June's forgiveness doesn't necessarily mean Serena is absolved of her crimes. Instead, it reflects a pivotal moment in June's character arc, where she finally sheds the rage that has consumed her since the beginning of the series. June's forgiveness allows her to move forward, unburdened by Serena. However, it doesn't diminish the damage Serena has done. Now, stripped of her power, her position, and her former life, she is left in exile, a refugee without a country, without protection, no one is likely to want to take her in, it marks her permanent fall from grace. As Strahovski sums it up, 'I don't think Serena ever gets the "happy ending". But I think that's the point. Gilead doesn't let anyone off the hook that easily.'

Victoria Beckham Just Posted Throwback Pictures Of Her Iconic Pixie Cut - It's The Ultimate Summer Hairstyle
Happy anniversary to one of the world's most iconic couples, Victoria and David Beckham, who are celebrating 26 years of marriage today. That's more than two decades worth of couple-goal outfits and showstopping hair transformations that will forever live on our mood boards. To celebrate the occasion, Victoria Beckham took to Instagram to share some personal throwback images of her, David and the Beckham crew. While romantics everywhere will no doubt swoon at the pics, beauty enthusiasts can't help but notice just how memorable her early '00s pixie haircuts were. While choppy pixies and pixie cuts with bangs are huge trends this year, Beckham truly paved the way for influencing the masses to embrace the extra short haircut. Well ahead of her time, she brought a glossy, high-fashion appeal to the pixie back in the day. Her Posh Spice pixie featured razor sharp, slightly choppy layers, with plenty of volume on top along with side-swept, face-framing pieces. Her pixie evolved from brunette to blonde, and as it grew out, she began styling it with plenty of texture. Proving that extremely short hair brings just as much drama as long waterfall waves (if not more so!), Beckham sported a bixie (a pixie-bob hybrid) for her nuptials, which she accessorised with a veil-free, Slim Barrett 18-karat gold tiara encrusted with diamonds. Queen behaviour. She then swapped the crown for a fluffy, lived-in bixie to complement her and David's matching purple ensembles for the cake-cutting ceremony. Given the maximalist vibe of the occasion, this shorter hair 'do feels unexpected and brings an extremely fresh feel to the bridal look. While the designer and beauty mogul has now moved on to longer, 'uncut bobs', these throwback images prove that she really is a hair chameleon. Here's to many more years of hair inspo, VB.

The ME+EM Summer Sale Is On – These Are All The Staple Items We're Shopping
Since its launch in 2009, ME+EM has fast become a fashion editor favourite. With its accessible mid price point, the brand lives by an ethos of 'intelligent style', offering wardrobe staples that marry comfort and fit with timeless appeal. Helmed by founder Clare Hornby, the brand uses a '3F' philosophy of 'flattering, functional and forever', aiming to produce items that will endure. It has an eye on sustainability too, with organic cotton, recycled fibres and responsibly sourced wool used alongside circular design practices. ME+EM has gathered many a famous fan, with the likes of Daisy Edgar-Jones, Phoebe Dynevor, Leighton Meester and the Princess of Wales favouring its forever-chic, soft power pieces. The brand has made waves in the political sphere too, with Lady Victoria Starmer choosing to walk into Number 10 Downing Street the day after the 2024 general election in a Labour-red fluid crepe midi-dress (leading to a 300% spike in visits to the website) and Angela Rayner opting for a green trouser suit the day she was appointed deputy prime minister, and an orange ME+EM dress for her first cabinet meeting. As author and fashion educator Andrea Cheong tells ELLE UK: 'The quality of the construction is really high – you'll see bias binding around zips, French seams, pin-tucking and things are lined. I'm surprised to see the levels of details they have in their designs, particularly in the summer collection, given the price point,' noting that they could 'easily' charge what Joseph does. In 2022 and 2023, ME+EM was named as one of Britain's fastest-growing private companies in the Sunday Times 100 list and in 2024 the brand announced sales of £120 million, which was a 46% year-on-year increase. It has now launched its summer sale, and with items up to 50% off, it's the perfect time to invest. Below, our edit of the best buy-now, wear-forever pieces to add to basket.
