Of course, our December theme of ‘Age of Beauty’ extends perfectly to fashion and beauty. Dressing for how you feel rather than your age is our focus. Donning makeup that accentuates, rather than hides is what we celebrate this December. The stylish, beauty-minded contributors of Mass Appeal Magazine help us out here. Here’s a preview of what’s to come this winter. 

The Beauty of Age 

We begin with care. ‘Beauty Bar’ highlights clementines for their nutritional benefits and skincare advantages. Ainsley Folmer provides a recipe for a clementine vodka soda. Definitely something to drink up during a holiday party. Meanwhile, Meleesa Luna gives us some skincare recs. Winter is a time for resting and rejuvenating.  

Then, Dr. Steve Gendron provides insight into Skinn. Dr. Gendron shows readers how to embrace and care for wrinkles. Perhaps the true mark of the age of beauty: laugh lines, smile lines, etc. And don’t forget to nourish within to feel confident on the inside.  

Keeping with the ‘Face’ discussion, look to Mia Anderson’s words. Get acquainted with icy blue. Yes, think ski resort, frosted windows, etc. Anderson covers all the ways you can incorporate the winter shade into your makeup routine. Important to consider for those holiday festivities in December.  

The ‘age of beauty’ focus looks to the top of the head now. Greying hair is the topic of choice in Caleb Backe’s piece in ‘Hair Affair.’ Try out purple shampoo.  Emphasize sun protection. Grey hair can be so beautiful. Care for it accordingly with Mass Appeal Magazine. 

Wintery Fashion 

Now, we move to the looks. The fashion brand spotlighted in Atelier is Doen. Founded by Margaret Kleveland, Katherine Kleveland, and Hillary Justin. The brand offers distinctive bohemian chic style, characterized by flowing silhouettes, delicate prints, light shades, and vintage-inspired designs. The perfect pieces for all ages.  

And the fashion continues this December. ‘Threads features cardigans and no, they aren’t your grandma’s cardigan. Lola Thompson notes certain styling tips to keep it age appropriate. Cozy up just in time for winter. Embrace a modern and sophisticated layering piece. 

‘Grooming Lounge’ takes care of suiting 101 for men. In Mass Appeal Magazine, James Firestein covers pocket squares, tie clips and cuff links. Yes, it’s all in the details, guys. Get ready to look dashing for those upcoming holiday soirees.  

This is an important article to peruse in lieu of this next one. Aiden Matthews recommends brands and outfits for New Year’s Eve parties.  Keep it festive and fun with ‘Dress Code.’ Think velvet, sparkles and shimmer. Make 2025 a year to remember with a knockout look on December 31st. Look the part no matter the age you turn in the new year. 

Lastly, gain some outfit inspiration with Joana Walker’s words. Mass Appeal Magazine’s ‘Style Icon’ features actors Keke Palmer and Penn Badgley. Both know how to work a look on and off the red carpet or set. Palmer loves color. Meanwhile, we celebrate Badgley loves a unique suit. Winter is a time to refelct on who we can learn from.
