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.After Martin Scorsese's ad for Chanel and David Lynch's commercial for Dior, Hollywood's directing A-list takes on beauty brand Revlon.
For a newly released one-minute ad for its Grow Luscious Plumping mascara, Black Swan's Darren Aronofsky enlisted actress Jessica Biel and musician Pharrell Williams to play a glamorous couple set against a luxurious black-and-white surrounding.
Biel can be seen getting ready to go out at a vanity, applying the mascara, while Williams arrives to pick her up. Enchanted by her look, he performs "You Got Me," a track written for the commercial, whose lyrics read: "You look at me, you blink those eyes, you plump them up, I'm hypnotized."
There seems to be a trend of musicians incorporating their music into beauty ads: just recently, singer Gwen Stefani included her "Luxurious" lyrics in her ad for L'Oréal's Superior Preference hair color.
