“I hide behind my big penis” Age: 33 “I like having a big penis, but I disagree that a large penis is better than a small one. I’ve had self-image issues from childhood. I’ve worked on them, but part of that journey was to realise that in the past I’ve hidden my personality (which I’m not sure people will like) behind a body that I’m confident they will like. I’ve chosen to meet someone through a hook-up app and get naked straight away, rather than get to know them and then decide whether we sleep with each other. It was far easier to be naked because I was pretty sure I wouldn’t be rejected – my penis is something that society values as attractive.” “I told cancer to do one”…

“WHEN DONALD TRUMP WAS ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, I didn’t go to work for the next three days. I knew that my boss would understand, and I took the time to mourn and process my thoughts. As an editor at Essence, the only magazine for black women in the US, I’d spent months covering the election – commissioning analyses and opinion editorials, appearing on cable news segments, speaking on political panels, urging our readers to head to the polls. It was exhaustive and exhausting. There were many moments in the months leading up to the Presidential election in which I’d watched the humanity of black people, Mexicans, refugees and other immigrants be questioned and attacked. It was a direct backlash against eight years of a black president whose…

Sometimes it’s hard to remember how single people met each other pre-Tinder. Did we go to bars? Just bang our friends who lingered too long at the house party? It’s amazing how quickly we’ve adapted to swiping through thousands of potential partners while half-watching reruns of Friends. And although I’ve never talked to a woman who didn’t have complicated feelings about dating apps (as a single woman myself, whether I love or loathe Tinder changes every time I open it), there’s been very little research into the wider effects of mobile dating. So Glamour surveyed 1,000 women and talked to experts to find out if apps really have changed how we date. The answer is yes – and more profoundly than we realised… We aren’t really looking to ‘date’, per…

“Can you bake someone a cake to tell them you have chlamydia?”; “Is it OK to be turned on by my dad’s best friend?”; “Do I leave the man of my dreams to chase dick?” – just an average inbox if you’re Corinne Fisher and Krystyna Hutchinson, comedians and co-hosts of Guys We F**ked: The Anti Slut-Shaming Podcast. Fed up with post-break-up pity parties, Corinne, 31, launched the podcast in 2013, deciding to call everyone she’d dated or slept with to ask how she could be a better partner. We know, bold. She roped in her pal Krystyna, 29, who added the ‘anti slut-shaming’ tagline after a man on the street assumed she was a stripper, not a comedian (nothin’ wrong with either, FYI), and to the mics they went.…

1930s GLOVES A status symbol of the ’30s, gloves have been given a major revamp for A/W17. Opt for a longerlength pair, with a loose fit, and layer them over the top of your coat for a look that is as cool as winter. 1960s THE TRENCH COAT Who can forget Audrey Hepburn’s iconic trench coat in Breakfast At Tiffany’s? Still very much a wardrobe staple, the trench has been given a waxy finish this season by Céline, while Maison Margiela has created one with cut-outs. 21st century DRESS We’ve seen a return to the longer-line dress with a loosefitting skirt – look to Dior and Louis Vuitton to see how to accessorise it in a modern way. 1950s THE ‘LADY’ BAG Grace Kelly made the Hermès lady bag a…

Minimum effort, maximum impact: isn’t that what we all want when it comes to our make-up? Enter the five-minute face – it’s what (beauty) dreams are made of. The formula is simple: flawless skin + a slick of lip colour = a fresh, natural look that will work for any occasion. Of course, you can add your own touches to finish (a little brow pencil, mascara or blush), but this look is about paring things back. All you need is the right base and lip colour, then you’re good to go. THE GREAT COVER-UP ‘Natural’ make-up doesn’t mean you have to go without a base; it’s about finding the right product. If you prefer full coverage, try a breathable, pore-blurring formula such as BarePro™ Performance Wear Liquid Foundation SPF20 £29…

Got a novel to get to the big screen? Amandla Stenberg is your woman. After a standout performance as audience favourite Rue in The Hunger Games, she shines in this month’s Everything, Everything. Based on the book by Nicola Yoon, it follows Maddy, a housebound 18 year old with a rare disease that makes her ultra-susceptible to illness. She longs for a normal adolescence, so when she spies Olly (Nick Robinson) through the window, she risks her health – and her mother’s wrath – for first love. Coming up, she’ll also star in the adaptation of Angie Thomas’s best-seller The Hate U Give as Starr, a young woman whose unarmed best friend is killed by the police.…

TV The Defenders What’s better than one troubled vigilante-slash-superhero? Four of them. Bringing together the protagonists of the previous Marvel Netflix series, Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), Daredevil (Charlie Cox), Luke Cage (Mike Colter) and Iron Fist (Finn Jones) are The Defenders. Think of them as a rock’n’roll version of The Avengers. They must take on the Hand, an order of evil mystical ninjas. The villain is played by Sigourney Weaver, so if that doesn’t convince you to get involved, we’re not sure what will. Netflix, August 18 Top Of The Lake: China Girl Elisabeth Moss reprises her Golden Globe-winning role as cop Robin Griffin, who is trying to reconnect with Mary, the daughter she gave up for adoption. Joining the cast are Nicole Kidman as Mary’s adoptive mother and Gwendoline…

WHY IS MY PERIOD HEAVIER? Suddenly need to double your usual pads or tampons? If one period is crazily heavy, wait it out, but if a few in a row are, you may have developed a polyp or fibroids in your uterus. This sounds scary, but these benign growths are more of a nuisance than a danger. Or you may be experiencing a hormonal imbalance in your thyroid or pituitary gland – also completely treatable. Your doctor can order blood tests or an ultrasound scan to figure out the cause. WHAT IF IT’S ERRATIC? An adult’s cycle can range anywhere from 21 to 35 days (in the teens, up to 45 days). Some women never have regular periods, but if yours are becoming more random – or if you’re suddenly…

Be thankful, feel happy Is This The Happy Booster We All Need? felt close to my heart. Feeling bitter about everyone’s ‘fantastic’ news, I decided to write a daily ‘gratitude list’.

POWERFUL, PUNCHY AND IMPACTFUL – I’VE ALWAYS LOVED A LADY IN RED. Apparently so do designers, with a vast number (including Fendi and Max Mara) making it the colour of A/W17. Last season, pink offered us a light-hearted optimism, but while the two colours sit together on the spectrum, the messages they convey couldn’t be more different. Wearing red shows you mean business. Take Jourdan Dunn, who picked up the Entrepreneur award at this year’s Glamour Women of the Year Awards. She wore red-hot Ermanno Scervino and brought the house down with both her impeccable sartorial choice and storming acceptance speech. Although I’ve never owned a red item of clothing per se, I often reach for Mac’s Ruby Woo lipstick when I need a pep up/ have a meeting/can’t be…

HOW OFTEN DO YOU LIE? Here, I’ll go first. I lie about how much I drink to the doctor (who knows what a unit is anyway? Why can’t they just say pints, half pints and shots?), I lie about work deadlines to friends (when really, I’m too tired to go out) and, of course, I lie on social media (that selfie had more takes than an entire Spielberg film). Here’s the sobering truth: research says that we lie up to 200 times a day. A day! There’s this quote I think about all the time: “You’re only as sick as your secrets.” If that’s true, it would seem we’re all dying of terminal dishonesty. But it’s not the whoppers I’m intrigued about: it’s the daily details that we exaggerate in…

CANDIDATE #1 Hollie: Hey, Harry. How would your friends describe you in three words? Harry: Snappy-dressing stud-muffin. You? Ho: OK, great, can you talk me through your work experience? Ha: I’m driven, hard-working and very rarely steal. I have references if you need them. Ho: Can you teach me something in the next five minutes? Ha: I don’t know about teaching, but I know fun facts. A group of frogs is called an army. Ho: I see. And what’s the biggest risk you’ve ever taken? Ha: I’m a big risk-taker, let me think… Ha: I’ve jumped out of a plane. I’ve swum in a crocodile-infested river. You get the gist. Ha: I’m a maverick who plays by no rules but my own. Ho: Impressive. How do you manage stress? Ha:…

The older I get, the less I can be bothered with basic pleasantries. You know, all those ‘Best wishes’, ‘Congrats’ and ‘With sympathy’ greetingcard responses to life. I really believe if you can’t think of something that shows how you truly feel, you shouldn’t say anything at all. It might sound mean, but hear me out. Last week, someone posted on Facebook that their father had died. Scrolling through the comments, I found that around 50 people had written things like “Sorry for your loss” on a genuinely devastating update. I read them all, wondering how anyone could write that without feeling like a cop-out. While it can be difficult to think of something to say, those reactions are pre-made responses – empty words that people use when they can’t…

LIQUID SKINCARE On days when my face looks dull and feels tired, I crave light, fluid textures to bring back some luminous glow without overburdening my skin. I reach for: 1 SOS Roll-On Mask £17.50 Kenzoki – the roll-on massager cools, de-puffs, and deposits the lightest layer of this skinboosting mask. 2 Moisture Surge Hydrating Supercharged Concentrate £34 Clinique is a refreshing, waterlike gel that locks in long-term moisture. 3 Hydra Genius Aloe Water £9.99 L’Oréal Paris is an affordable hyaluronic acid and aloe vera hydrator for all skin types. Heaven on a palette Palette Essentielle in Beige Intense £52 Chanel is both chic and useful, combining a cheek/lip tint, concealer and highlighter. It comes in three variations.

Blake Lively is mid-sentence in the dining room of a chic Vancouver hotel when her hand darts inside her shirt. “Why is my bra so lumpy?” she asks, rummaging around. “Ah, there’s a big fold. I’m going to unfold it.” She grins at me. “I’m gonna look like I’m feeling myself up.” Turns out the lumpy bra was for a good cause: Blake had breast-fed her baby girl, Inez, before she got here. Sitting in her frayed blue jeans and noshing on ceviche, she looks exactly like the laid-back LA golden girl we first came to love in The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants and Gossip Girl. But the decade that has since passed has been transformative for the actress, who turns 30 this month. She married her Green Lantern…

JOHNNY COCA is arguably fashion’s greatest whizz kid. In just over two years, the Spanish designer has transformed Mulberry’s quirky Britishness into something thoroughly modern and millennial. His latest collection, for autumn/winter, was a case in point – an ode to the Somerset countryside around the Mulberry factory, mixed with the cool-girl smarts of those working in its London HQ. With eiderdowns, checks, frills and oversized silhouettes in full effect – plus, of course, those delectable, signature bags – it was one of the key shows of the season. So we asked the main man himself to reveal his top tips on getting dressed this season. MENS WEAR IS MAJOR “A woman can wear a man’s jacket and be feminine too. The oversized jacket is great this season. It’s visually…

Stirring from a deep Saturday morning sleep, I could hear the faint sound of walkie-talkies. At first I thought I was dreaming, but then the murmur of hushed voices came into focus. I sat upright, confused and drowsy, before climbing out of bed. I wandered into my mum’s bedroom, as I did every morning, and started chatting to her. Mum was in bed, but didn’t reply. Peering out of the window, behind the lace curtains she’d bought at a Dutch antiques market, I saw a police car. It seemed odd in our sleepy cul-de-sac, but I didn’t think anything of it – until I went downstairs and saw my granny’s stricken face, a solemn police officer and my mum’s hysterical boyfriend. “Your mum’s dead!” he screamed. That’s how I discovered,…

Busted by Liz “I pulled a sickie to go shopping on Oxford Street, but the Queen Mother had just opened a garden. Cue cameras everywhere. There I was on the news, next to Liz with my shopping. My boss saw. ‘You look better than you did on the news last night,’ he said in the morning.” Je a n e , 4 3 Move over, Usain “During a terrible job interview, I said I’d ran a marathon, to try to impress the interviewer. I couldn’t even remember the last time I went for a jog, so, when he asked my time, I gave a random number. I Googled it later and discovered that I’d told him I was the fastest man in the world. Turns out, ‘total fraud’ wasn’t a…

Recently I met a guy. He claimed he was a Hopeless Romantic, and I immediately melted like icing made with coconut oil – which, if you don’t know, is very melty. Finding a fellow hopeless romantic in this day and age is like spotting any amount of money on the ground that isn’t coins. You think, ‘Er, what are you doing here?’ and ‘How has no one picked you up before I got here?’ He quizzed me on the things I like to do and said he would make a plan. I showed up to our date full of hope – until it turned out that his ‘plan’ was, “Yeah, I couldn’t think of anything. You wanna just walk around in the blizzard outside?” Um, no. Most of the time…

APRÈS-SKI You don’t need to hit the slopes to appreciate this alpine-inspired trend. Pair cosy knits with checked tailoring for a more city-appropriate take. BLING IT ON These crystal-embellished accessories aren’t strictly for after hours – it’s time to add a little sparkle to your daywear. CALL TO ARMS Stylish yet functional – for a modern take on the military trend, opt for pieces with a utilitarian spin. DOUBLE DENIM Denim on denim has been given a super-chic overhaul. Go for tailored styles and keep it tonal. EIDERDOWN DRESSING Once a fashion faux pas, the puffa has emerged as the must-have topper of the season.

STREAKY TAN? NO, THANKS Alessandra Steinherr, Beauty Director “I LOVE TO HAVE A SUN-KISSED GLOW ALL YEAR ROUND. Because a real tan is not an option (hello, sun damage!), I’ve mastered the art and application of fake tan. The problem is, when it comes off, it inevitably goes patchy – there just hasn’t been a product that fades out your tan in a natural way. That is, until I discovered Self Tan Eraser [Bondi Sands], which genuinely lifts off the colour without streaks, irritation or damage to your skin. And when I don’t have time to completely remove it and need a quick fix, I’ll reach for Body Blur Instant HD Skin Finish [Vita Liberata] – the ultimate in perfect coverage, long-lasting body make-up.” ROLLERS = THE NEW ACCESSORY Dominique…

The dream blow-dry: does it really exist? We think so. Gone are the days of ‘one style suits all’. Thanks to smart new styling techniques, you can now have a bespoke blow-out according to your hair’s texture, colour and length. Hairstylist extraordinaire Larry King reveals his secret hair remedies to help you get the most out of your salon and stylist. THICK VS THIN “Thick hair is best left to dry naturally and then smoothed out with a round brush and controlled heat,” says Larry. “If you have fine hair, product is your best friend. Use a thickening lotion on wet hair to give your roots volume. When styling, create your shape one inch from the roots and leave ends straight to create just the right amount of texture and…

4.30am My [18-month-old] son has had chickenpox and he’s up, which means I’m up. I put some cream on him, then my husband takes over so I can get ready for hot yoga. 5.30am I grab a piece of toast, throw on my yoga gear and drive to the class. When I’m not filming, I try to do a class every day. I love it. 8am Time for a well-deserved coffee – I always go for a flat white. 8.30am I stop at the supermarket. My husband is working from home, so we’ll all have lunch together. 9am I shower and then play with my son. We do some painting and, of course, I get covered in all sorts. 12pm My husband and I have bread and soup, while my…

QUICK SILVER “A true silver metal like [right] suits all skintones,” says make-up artist Rebecca Wordingham. To create the look opposite, she used Aqua Cream Waterproof Cream Color in Silver £17 Make Up For Ever and wiggled it all over the lid with a flat brush. “Skim it across lids and it will naturally crinkle into this shape.” Avoid liner to keep the look raw – just darken lashes with Little Black Primer £21 Estée Lauder. Azure blue, neon pink, gold, silver and glitter. On paper, A/W17’s beauty trends sound über cool, sure, yet at the same time as intimidating as hell. But don’t be afraid. Not only are these looks surprisingly wearable, they’re also super simple and speedy to apply. Compared to a full-face routine, which can take a…

CREATE A RAGE JOURNAL Yep, write down everything you’re angry about (shouty background music optional), suggests spiritual teacher Teal Swan. It’s a small step in figuring out what’s bothering you, especially if you struggle to express your anger and usually bottle it up. The idea is to use these notes for a conversation IRL. NO MINDLESS SCROLLING Bus running late? The worst thing you can do is read the news or someone’s #blessed posts on Facebook. “It feeds your anger – your mind will look for further reasons to get angry,” says Niels Eék, a psychologist and co-founder of mindfulness app Remente. “Instead, do something you enjoy (listen to a podcast, browse Asos or read a book) as a distraction and the rage should fade.” FIND A ROLE MODEL The…
