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.

Designers' spring/summer shows were infused with gold and other metallic colors, and as fashion blog Refinery29 points out, can serve as inspiration for warm and shimmery beauty spring looks. Given that the post has been cited since by the New York Times and StyleList might indicate that they're on to something.

While gold outfits might be difficult to incorporate into everyday outfits, the corresponding makeup options (highlighters, nail polish, eyeliner, lipsticks and glosses, eye shadows) are far more wearable.

All major beauty brands have released something golden for this spring. Here is a first selection of products:
