Beauty shelfies — photos or lists in which someone shares their favourite beauty and skincare products — are all the rage on social media. I find browsing shelfies quite soothing, and was interested to see that Allure recently also started a shelfie series:
- Space explorer Dr. Sian Proctor shares the beauty products she relies on after a rotation (or two) around earth.
- Alexis Nikole Nelson, known as ‘the Black Forager’ on TikTok, gives Allure a look at her highly-pigmented beauty and self-care routine.
- Tia Wood, a singer, dancer, and content creator, is decolonizing beauty standards by highlighting her Indigenous features. Here, she shares the beauty products that help her look and feel her best, both on-stage and off.
