Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Get bootylicious like Beyoncé
Black Voices on Beauty reports this week that butt implants - for both Afro-American and Caucasian women - are still popular, even following the stories of women hospitalized in the US after their implants got infected. The blog interviewed LA-based plastic surgeon Dr. Anthony Griffin, creator of the Brazilian Butt Lift during which fat from your body is injected into your buttocks, and he said that this kind of procedure is safer than implants that can be painful and are prone to slipping out of place.
A much easier way to get a firmer, curvier butt, however, is to just work out: there are great, new tutorials by YouTube vlogger Zuzana that focus on getting a sexier figure; her GaGa for Buns tutorial (more than four million views) can be found at the link below.

Look good on the go like Natasha Bedingfield
The British star, who just partnered with haircare brand John Frieda for its latest campaign, has shared her 'lifesaver' products with StyleList: L'Oréal Le Grand Curl Mascara "makes me look awake, even if I'm tired," John Frieda's Go Blonder shampoo and conditioner is "great on the road when I don't have time to get to the salon to have my hair colored," and she loves Clé de Peau Concealer.

Match your makeup with your hair like Sienna Miller
Also reported on StyleList this week, Miller's makeup artist Brett Freedman believes that, apart from considering your skin tone, you should also match your hair with your makeup:
Brunettes: Opt for more vibrant hues, like plums, burgundies, reds, and metallics.
Black Hair: Put the focus on your eyes with smoky shades like charcoal and navy, and keep lips and cheeks subtle with sheer pinks.
Redheads: Try bright and airy shades like sheer greens for eyes and dewy pinks for cheeks and lips.
Blondes: Play up golden glows with iridescent, shimmery shades.
