Huda Kattan expressed her disappointment, stating, “We are truly disappointed by Huda Mustafa’s recent live and we take all forms of racism very seriously, We know that many members of our community and team were hurt and offended by these actions.”

Details of the Controversial Livestream

Huda Mustafa received a call from a viewer who used the racial slur while discussing her Love Island co-star Olandria Carthan during a recent livestream with her boyfriend Louis Russell from Netflix “Too Hot To Handle”. After a brief moment of laughter, Huda and Louis abruptly hung up. Her failure to confront the racist comment about her co-star went viral and the short clip quickly spread across social media.

However the influencer later took to X (formerly Twitter) and issued a public apology after reflecting on her behavior. She noted her intent to take full accountability, writing.

“Olandria – it is now clear that this comment was targeted at you, and I apologize for my immediate reaction. My reaction in that moment came from being caught off guard, not from finding the word or situation funny. It was a nervous, uncomfortable reaction that I recognize was inappropriate.”

She ended with a promise to donate to the NAACP, urging others to follow suit.

The incident has sparked a broader discussion about the responsibilities of public figures and influencers when it comes to addressing abusive language. Social media users and advocacy groups have stressed the need for accountability and cultural awareness, saying that even small actions can have a big effect on communities. The incident reminds us of how much important it influence public figures hold and the need to act responsibly online.

The fall season calls for richer tones and shades that feel warm and polished. Now is the time to say goodbye to your summer hairstyles and treat your strands to something new as the weather turns crisps and everything becomes cooler.

It is the season to be daring without going overboard. Rich caramel, deep chocolate, and ultraviolet reds capture the softer autumn light, giving hair instant depth, movement, and a subtle wow factor that can boost any fall look. Fall is more than just wearing sweaters; it’s about allowing your hair to provide warmth, complexity, and personality to any look, transforming even the most basic  jeans and flannel pairing into something striking, as it is appropriate for the season.

Of course, the best hair colour is always the one you feel confident in. But if you’re ready for a change, celebrity stylists suggest these standout shades for fall 2025.

Caramel Macchiato

Fall favourites are typically deliciously deep browns, but this year they’re richer and glossier than ever. According to celebrity hair colourist Papanikolas, “brunettes are going glossy with espresso and chocolate tones, often paired with a subtle money piece highlight for brightness around the face.” “To maintain a sophisticated appearance, tone-on-tone effects are essential.” For a dimensional, striking combination, use warmer caramel tones, but stay close to the foundation colour. Papanikolas adds that chunky, streaky highlights with too much contrast might appear harsh.

Maple Syrup Brown

Maple syrup brown is the season’s go-to colour for a  warm, inviting  and beautifully natural.  Cassie Cohen of Chris McMillan, noted that the shade “can feature natural-looking highlights or stay rich and deep overall.” Ask your colourist for delicate highlights, such as lighter golden brown around the frame of your face and into the ends, to replicate the look. This will make it look as though your summer highlights grew out naturally. Additionally, Cohen advises “weaving golden or caramel tones through the ends” for added complexity with minimal maintenance. This hue is ideal for long, layered, waved hairstyles because it keeps the overall appearance warm and incredibly attractive while allowing the movement of the hair to beautifully showcase the interplay of tones.

Silver Blonde

A silvery blonde offers a cool, refreshing alternative to the warm, cozy tone of the season.  The striking hue “is perfect for fall because it contrasts beautifully against the warmer clothing palettes and textures of the season.” Bellemare says. Additionally, the shade feels both modern and in line with the season because of the icy undertones that evoke the freshness of colder weather. To get the cool finish, have your stylist slightly lift your hair and then tone it with violet or silver to counterbalance any brassiness. It’s a brilliant, eye-catching shade that appears sophisticated yet remarkably modern.

Ultraviolet Red

Celebrity colourist Matt Rez predicts that both natural and dyed redheads will embrace a mix of warm and cool tones this season. Among the most interesting choices? He characterises it as a blue-red with “violet vibes,” a deep, cold shade. It’s a great fit with the black cherry lip and nail colour trend, which is an annual rebirth around this time of the  year.

Chilled Butter Blonde

It’s defined by a pale tone that feels both eye-catching and soft. This autumn, however, expect to see a slightly colder variation of the colour on newsfeeds and streets. If you want to join in the fun without making a complete commitment, Kim recommends adding some buttery lowlights to your existing look.

The Best Methods for Removing Eyeliner and Mascara

Here is a step-by-step method allowing your remover to do the work.

• Apply the makeup remover of your choice to a cotton pad. Depending on your skin type either an oil-based or mild eye makeup remover.

• Allow the makeup remover to dissolve the mascara by pressing the pad over closed eyelids for ten to fifteen seconds. To properly remove the makeup, let the product sit on your lashes or lid for a few seconds so you won’t need to rub too hard.

• To prevent tugging or pulling, gently wipe downward in the direction you applied the mascara or eyeliner using delicate motion, avoid applying extreme pressure on your lashes, which could cause irritation or damage.

• Refrain from rubbing, since this can irritate the sensitive skin surrounding your eyes and result in lash loss and breakage. Excessive rubbing might cause skin redness or puffiness and eventually weaken your lashes.

• To prevent bacteria from spreading between eyes, use a new cotton pad for each eye. This is an important step for hygiene, especially if you are prone to eye infections or discomfort.
