Welcome to September and the (kind of) start to Autumn. In this issue we’ll touch on a bit of Men’s autumnal fashion, as it’s feeling nippier in the UK right now, plus M&S is nailing it yet again with another great collaboration, this time with eBay’s pre-loved re-sale team, and we’ll also explore the new ‘tacky’ ways couples are claiming back their wedding funds.
But starting with a big rumour, leaked this week.
Pamela Anderson, who started the makeup-free movement, looks like being the face of MAC’s invisible line ‘Barely There’ – already selling out worldwide.
She has been explaining what make-up free means to her, saying “The world has been trying to see me without makeup for decades, now they can – thanks to BARELY THERE”.
While Pammy has embraced a more natural, makeup-free look recently, this has previously been presented as a personal choice rather than being connected to a marketing campaign. Not anymore it seems – but why not make something out it? I would.
Pammy has gained attention for her embrace of a more natural, makeup-free look since 2023, which she has described as liberating – and a way to show her freckles. Her decision to appear without makeup at events such as the 2025 Met Gala has been interpreted as a positive challenge to traditional beauty norms.
Although I haven’t seen the range as yet, it’s rumoured to include products to accentuate your natural features, like light foundations, nude lip glosses and lip pencil shades.
I’m waiting for a formal announcement from MAC Cosmetics for definitive information about the partnership with Pamela Anderson. When it happens, I’ll be all over it, because I’m loving the natural look.
