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.

Fashions come and fashions go. Who's to say that glam-rock style, the epitome of tongue-in-chic this week, won't be confined to the dustbin of fashion history by the next? So, why commit yourself, when cosmetic technology can provide Geri Spice with the kind of flexibility David Bowie would have killed for. In a canny acknowledgement of its own transience, fashion has a solution in the shape of brush-in, wash-out glam rock locks - mascara for hair.

Shades are brazenly unquiet: cobalt blue, paprika red. Go the whole hog and wear all seven at once - or just smear some on your eyebrows for that authentic Seventies, person-who-fell-to-earth look. Called Mascara Flash, it's the brainwave of Christian Dior, perhaps reflecting the dawn of Galliano's outre influence. "The Spice Girls look is very now and very influential for the young generation," says Dior's Sophie Peter. "Older women can now be Spice Girls for a day."

Mascara Flash, from department stores from 19 June.
