Leigh & Kelly Finally Answer All Your LED Mask Questions

"How do I choose an at-home LED mask?" It’s the question that fills up You Beauty’s DMs more than any other. Ready to invest the big bucks, but have no idea how to decipher the actual science from the buzzy pseudoscience? Never fear, Kelly’s here to arm you with the specs to look out for, plus her top two LED masks.

Kel’s LED advice comes just in time for the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales — speaking of which, Leigh reveals her hacks for scoring a genuine bargain without getting swept up in the hype.

Plus, in Beauty News, the gals unpack Kendall Jenner’s viral cushion foundation faux pas... or was it? Get sat, because Kelly has a controversial marketing theory you need to hear. And would you spend $3,000 on a facial?

Then in Spendy Savey, it’s not every day a true game-changer comes along in makeup, but Kel’s obsessing over a spray-on setting powder that will literally change your finishing routine. Meanwhile, Leigh’s found a $17 hair foam that undoes styling disasters and promises extra time between washes.
