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.

The lipstick, designed by the diva herself, is named "Pink 4 Friday"- the same moniker as Minaj's album. "M·A·C's Pink Nouveau was my favorite lipstick for years, now it's all about Pink 4 Friday," said the singer-songwriter. The product will only be available online for four consecutive Fridays starting November 26, exclusively on MAC's website, while supplies last. "Pink 4 Friday," a bright, creamy pink hue, will sell for $14.50 USD (11 euros).
MAC (Make-up Art Cosmetics) is a leading global brand of professional cosmetics. It was created in Toronto, Canada in 1984 and is now part of The Estée Lauder Companies, Inc.
Another cosmetics company that has named and marketed its lipstick shades after celebrities is the French brand L'Oréal. Its Color Riche Star Secrets collection features seven dramatically different shades, developed by international make-up artist James Kaliardos, to embody the character of each model. The shades also take into consideration the brand ambassadors' complexion, eye and hair color. For instance, there's the soft and natural Aishwarya Beige, after the Bollywood beauty Aishwarya Rai, the fiery Penelope Red, after the sultry Spanish actress Penelope Cruz, and the shimmery Laetitia Champagne, after the voluptuous French model Laetitia Casta.
