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.

Your support makes all the difference.

Following the release of  Violent Lips' zebra- or cheetah-print temporary lip tattoos and the growing popularity of leopard-print eye makeup, the master of animal print, Dolce & Gabbana, are jumping on the bandwagon with their new beauty collection Animalier.

Inspired by the Italian designers' famed feline patterns, the range, which centers around a leopard-print bronzer, launches at the end of May.

"What I especially love about the Animalier collection is that it is so versatile - there are no rules because the palette is so compatible," says D&G's makeup artist of choice, Pat McGrath. "Whether I choose to emphasize the eyes - smokey eyes are always so fierce, so sexy - or the warm luscious red lips, the look is ultimately pulled together by the fantastic Animalier Bronzer."

"A bronzer is what spring and summer are about..." adds Domenico Dolce, who also says that for him, "it became an accessory as crucial as one of the Animalier bags."
