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.
Your support makes all the difference.Whether it's thanks to hay fever or the joy of seeing beloved friends tie the knot, this time of year tends to be a tearjerker, which means that when I wear mascara it must be waterproof. And it's not just eye make-up that needs staying power in the summer months – sweat, swimming and sudden showers can all conspire to wash away cosmetics.
Luckily, weatherproofing isn't just for sheds, and many items in your make-up bag now come with added staying power, without the pore-clogging, grease-paint like qualities of yore. That's handy, come rain or shine.
