Retail giant H&M has run the affordable fashion game for years, with its popularity only elevated by high end collaborations with names as big as Olivier Rousteing (above). The upcoming #HMBalmain line–set for a November release–is highly anticipated, but the just released H&M beauty line may have it beat. The 700-piece (!) collection is available both online and in stores, with a range of products as monstrous as Sephora.

Pretty much everything you’ll ever need is available, but where does one exactly start with such an overwhelming amount of options? In an effort to make your life a lot easier, we’ve put together three common fall beauty looks, using a few of our favorites from the new beauty authority.

–

All About That Base

For starters, we’re all about that base…a makeup base that is. If your priming practices aren’t on point, don’t count on your makeup lasting beyond lunch. No matter the desired look, always begin with the Mattifying Face Primer ($13), followed by the full coverage All-Day Liquid Foundation ($13) and Radiant Concealer Pen ($10) (for under eye circles and other blemishes).

Once you’ve covered these firsts and moved onto the smaller details, set everything with the Perfecting Powder ($10) and keep in your purse for touch ups.

Halloween/Night Out

For a costume party or random night out with friends, H&M has all of the dark and sparkly beauty products you’ll need for a sexy night look. Once you applied your base makeup, add some shimmer with the Cream Blush ($10) and Cream Bronzer ($10) of your choice. After that, it’s all about the eyes.

Cover the lid with your Eyeshadow Pencil in Raven ($6), followed by a set of False Eyelashes ($6), Liquid Eyeliner ($7) to seal and generous coats of Best Curlfriend Mascara ($13). Bring your night look together by coating your lids in a light layer of the Glitter Dust ($7) and the lips in Plum Fairy Lip Gloss ($10).

Everyday Work Makeup

Now, if you need an easy, everyday makeup look that’ll take no more than 15 minutes, H&M also has you covered. After the base makeup has been applied, mix and match your favorite colors from the Eyeshadow Palette ($10), followed by a swipe of neutral colored eyeliner ($6) and the Control Chic Mascara ($13).

The Brow Specialist ($5) is also ideal for an everyday look, since pencil usually delivers a more natural shape. And of course, the Cream Lipstick ($10) in a bright shade is what takes your face from work to play.

In the vast cosmos of hip-hop, a new constellation is rising, and it goes by the name of G.T.B Kartel. This group isn’t just another flash in the pan; they are the modern torchbearers of an age-old tradition that celebrates unity, family, and the collective power of collaboration. Their latest single, “Lil Baby,” is not just a track, it’s an anthem, a signal flare announcing the arrival of a duo that is here to redefine the genre’s landscape.

G.T.B Kartel, an acronym for Get To The Bread Kartel, isn’t just a name—it’s a mission statement. In the lineage of great hip-hop collectives like Wu-Tang Clan and Outkast, G.T.B Kartel reminds us that hip-hop is a space where brotherhood thrives and where the sum truly is greater than its parts. In a world that often glorifies solo success, G.T.B Kartel stands out by putting their bond and their music front and center.

Their single “Lil Baby“ is a masterclass in contemporary hip-hop craftsmanship. From the very first whistle, the track grabs your attention and refuses to let go. The production is sharp, each beat and snare meticulously placed to create a rhythm that’s not only addictive but also innovative. The bars are confident, delivered with the kind of swagger that can only come from artists at the peak of their creative powers.

But “Lil Baby” is more than just a catchy tune—it’s the entrance to G.T.B Kartel’s universe, a realm where each note and lyric is carefully considered to create an experience that doesn’t just resonate, but also inspires. It’s a world where the beat doesn’t fade when the song ends; it echoes, lingering in the air like the promise of more to come.

As we look ahead to the future of hip-hop, it’s clear that G.T.B Kartel is not only part of the conversation but also driving it forward. They don’t just fit into the genre; they’re busy carving out their own space within it. “Lil Baby” is your invitation to join them on this journey—a journey where getting to the bread is about more than financial gain; it’s about crafting a legacy that will feed the soul of hip-hop for generations to come.

Emerging artist Goladen Chyld is set to go global with his new album, War Cry.

The new star spreads peace, love, and unity with informative lyrics, crafty rhymes, summoning productions, and vibrant song structure. The debut album encapsulates the illustrious history of Chicago Hip-Hop, which is drenched in the windy city’s historic activism and unity.

The album, its anthems, message, and authenticity are the perfect starting points for newfound fans of the rising star. Tracks like “Righteous Stepper,” “Savior,” and “Gifted” showcase the artist’s progressive music that advocates for equality. War Cry peaked at #3 on Apple Music and cemented Goalden Chyld’s movement.

“I don’t believe you can listen to this album and not feel some sense of purpose and duty to your community,” he told The Final Call.

He added: “I haven’t received a single negative review. The response has been overwhelmingly positive across all age groups. I’ve received messages from nonprofits showing children engaging with the music, which shows its impact. It’s amazing to see a project resonate so deeply across different segments of our community, reinforcing the need for unity and positive change.”

Chyld, real name Qadir Hakim, was raised by a single mother on the rough side of Chicago. His musical abilities transcend barriers for a wider audience with the storytelling of struggles and progress. His resume is filled with endorsements from big names in hip-hop, ranging from Shaquille O’Neal to Lil Baby to Funk Flex.

War Cry quickly gained popularity on streaming platforms and social media, becoming a highly discussed new artist of 2024. The album arrives at the perfect time, especially considering the current social climate.

Goalden Chyld supports the new album with a series of album release events, including an upcoming unity concert in Chicago on May 25 and a five-borough community tour event at SOBs in New York City on May 30.
