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.

When wearing glasses, you draw more attention to your eyebrows and dark circles below your eyes. Also, your eyes can appear smaller or larger depending on whether you're near- or far-sighted. Use these tips from YouTube's most popular beauty vloggers to make your eyes look their best behind frames.

Michelle Phan uses defined eyebrow makeup, bright eyeliner, and lower fake lashes to make her eyes appear bigger.

Phan's tips are great but time-consuming for the makeup newbie. MissChievous mainly focuses on some eyeshadow tricks to make her eyes sparkle from behind her glasses.
