Janelle Monáe gave back to her community yesterday in a way that extended beyond physical product donations and allowed for a little face time. The “Hidden Figures” actress hosted a contact-free event in Inglewood, Calif. yesterday, giving away free prepacked meals to anyone who wanted to attend. She held the event though the Wondaland Arts Society, a joint-record label, film production company, brand consultancy firm and center for activism for which Monáe serves as CEO. For the event, Monáe dressed with a touch of her usual flair, pairing a black #WondaLunch t-shirt with a plaid coat, leggings with a bold white side stripe and a wide-brimmed hat. Her other accessories included a protective face mask and gloves along with black leather lace-up combat boots.

The Surprising LGBTQ+ History Behind Some of Your Favorite Beauty Brands

Pride is more than rainbow flags and Ben & Jerry's Hubby Hubby ice cream (although, these are indeed welcome, especially now and when enjoyed while humming Lady Gaga 's "Born This Way") - it's also a time to reflect on the progress, and room for growth, needed to support the LGBTQ+ community . A good place to start: the workplace. After all, under federal and most states' laws, LGBTQ+ people aren't explicitly protected from discrimination . That's why entrepreneurship in the community matters and, in an industry where people are seeking, celebrating, and demanding inclusivity now more than ever, there's no better time to commemorate the queer-owned hair, makeup, and skin-care companies out there. What are you waiting for? If you can't physically march your support at a parade this year, click ahead for a list of beauty brands you can be proud to add to your stash.

Tempted to Squeeze Those Blackheads? Here's How to Do At-Home Extractions Safely

Image
Not to get all Coach Carr from Mean Girls on you, but the general consensus of skin experts on at-home pore extractions , much like popping a pimple , is akin to passing out condoms to high schoolers: "We're not encouraging it, but if they're going to do it, let's make it safe," said aesthetician Candace Marino . In all their gooey glory, excavating a blackhead can be wildly satisfying - a top guilty beauty indulgence, to be sure - but, like many tricky-to-do services, is often best left to the pros. Still, if you can't peel yourself away from the 10x magnifying mirror any time you step into the bathroom, Marino has some best practices to DIY facial extractions safely. The first (and oddly, the trickiest) step is to identify a blackhead from something else. Those little dots smattered across your nose, for example? You might be mistaking them for sebaceous filaments. "Blackheads will be raised, textured, truly black, thick and waxy," she said
