Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Party season comes hand in hand with a liberal sprinkling of glitter and shimmer. Which is all well and good but if, like me, glossing your lips leaves them feeling chap-fat coated (without the benefit of those delicious calories) it presents something of a quandary.
There are innumerous alternatives to a slick of glue-like gloop, one of the best of which is that in YSL's vintage beauty collection.
Imagine, if you will, a Venn diagram with all the lipsticks, glosses and stains you've bought over the years, and this glossy stain would be the bright spot in its centre. Wet-look in finish, an intense amount of colour – in a variety of punchy shades – and a long-lasting formula make this just the thing to see you through the festive season with a sophistication that won't slip no matter how much Christmas cheer you imbibe.
Balancing a strong lip with a "natural" face of make-up is still conventional lipstick, but the bold who experiment will find fortune favours them.
