Can we just take a second to bask in Imaan Hammam's beauty?
The Dutch-Moroccan model can do no wrong in our eyes, but her effortless style and beauty get us riled up every time. You can catch the model traveling the world and doing shows, but if you're like me, the first thing you would ask her is, "How does your skin still look so good?"
Well, she recently chatted with Vogue where she shared her secrets on how to look like you've had a full night's rest, even when you haven't. Here are 4 ways to master your beauty routine, even when you're tired:
*Taking notes, immediately.*
Oils Are Your Friend
Upon watching the tutorial, we immediately see Imaan dive into oils, and she has no shortage of them — argan oil, olive oil, rose oil, and countless others are her oils of choice. Even if you have oily or combination skin, massaging your face with oils keeps you moisturized and your skin hydrated.
She goes in with Chantecaille's Rose de Mai Face Oil and a serum, rubbing the product in with a stainless steel facial massage wand, which by the way is great for helping with inflammation and really pushing that product in!
Of course, she doesn't deny her eyes (where many of us show that we've had a long night), and she applied Kat Burki Rose Hip intense Recovery Eye Serum and Kat Burki Vitamin C Intensive Face Cream to give her skin a brightening effect. If you check out her eye serum of choice, it's a bit expensive but she says it takes all the bags away, and it should girl!
You can either take the plunge and really see how you like this approach, or look for another product that has its active ingredients: DMAE and retinol.
Good Brows Go A Long Way
Y'all know how we say that as long as your brows look good, you can convince people that you have put a lot more time into your beauty regime then you really have? Well, there's some truth to that.
In this video, Imaan brushes her brows up to make look "a little rough," giving you a natural vibe. Just take the spooly and push up, and if you need a bit more umph, feel free to pencil in where you are sparse.
Concealer Is Bae
Vogue
The model dabbles a bit of concealer under her eyes and around her jawline, places where many of us get hyperpigmentation. Instead of dumping a ton of foundation onto your face, use your favorite concealer and wipe it out generously, giving your skin an even and flawless finish with half the product (and without the cakey feels).
Brighten Up With A Bronzer
Just because summer is gone, doesn't mean you can't keep bronzing!
Take your favorite bronzer and do a light sweep on your cheeks. For an added bonus, take a small eyeshadow brush and put some on the bridge of your nose and on your eyelids. The golds in the palette will immediately make you look more awake and sunkissed, and who are we to deny that?!
She also goes in with highlighter, adding it on her chin, right below her eyes, and on her nose. Don't feel compelled to drop mega bank on your highlight and bronzer, either — the drugstore has a ton of great options for you to find your shade and the color you want to pop out in!

“Your circle is everything,” Reginae shares with a smile, and she’s not wrong. She’s all about creating spaces where we can come together, let our hair down, and vibe with like-minded women. “We deserve spaces to meet, uplift, and vibe with each other. BLK is making that happen,” she adds.
A New Era for Friendships—Social Mode Is Here!
Gen Z is all about building meaningful connections, whether it’s with a date or a new brunch buddy. That’s why Social Mode is such a big deal. Research shows that 65% of Gen Z values friendships just as much as romantic relationships. With BLK’s new feature, users can easily toggle between “Dating” and “Social,” opening up a world of platonic connections—no swiping right required.

Reginae Carter Hosts the Ultimate Girls’ Night In—Powered by BLK Social Mode
What better way to show Social Mode in action than with an exclusive Girls’ Night In, hosted by Reginae? The event brought together top influencers, tastemakers, and press for a night of luxury, self-care, and real talk about love, sex, and relationships. From tarot readings to perfume-making and signature cocktails, the evening embodied the “soft life” vibe that many Black women are embracing in 2025—peaceful, intentional, and full of joy.
Guests mingled, laughed, and bonded over the importance of finding a tribe that supports you. It wasn’t just about fun (although there was plenty of that!)—it was about creating a circle of inspiring, strong women. “We need to stick together. We need to be each other’s village,” Reginae says, emphasizing the power of community over competition.
Sisterhood: The Real MVP
For Reginae, it’s all about friendship—and not just the surface-level kind. “We need friends who keep it real with us. The ones who can tell us when we’re right, when we’re wrong, and when we need to calm down,” she says. As someone who navigates the spotlight, she’s got the best of both worlds: friends who understand the grind and those who can give her an honest, grounded perspective.
Her advice for building strong, intentional friendships? “Be confident in yourself and know your worth,” she explains. “Also, hurt people hurt people, so make sure you’re coming from a good place when you’re building relationships. It’s not always about being nice—sometimes it’s about being real.”
Reginae couldn’t have summed it up better: “When you have the right circle, the right tribe, everything just feels easier. And that’s exactly what BLK is giving us—space to connect, laugh, and grow with each other.”
