out there is challenging, but at the same
time it’s worth it because I love love. I’M
REALLY GOOD AT: Being empathetic, so if
someone’s showing me their emotions or
telling me how they feel, it’s difficult for
me not to reciprocate. That was hard on
the show. I WISH PEOPLE WOULD STOP
QUESTIONING ME ABOUT: Whether I’m

Q: MY LIP GLOSS LEAVES
MY LIPS LOOKING FLAKY
AT TIMES. WHAT
AM I DOING WRONG?
A: The trick is to look for lip
glosses that contain antioxidants
which help protect, moisturise
and hydrate your lips while
delivering a high gloss finish.
Try Marc Jacobs Beauty
Enamored Hydrating lip gloss
stick from Sephora, $42.
BEAUTY
YOU ASKED.
WE ANSWERED
Q: MY WINGED EYELINER IS
NEVER THE SAME ON BOTH
EYES, ANY SOLUTIONS?
A: If you have super unsteady
hands and struggle to get
perfectly even cat-eye flicks,
prepare to be amazed! The
Quick Flick Intense Black
Petite 8MM, $34.99 features
a left and right wing stamp that
you can easily apply on each
eye. Then use the included felt
tip pen to fill in and shape for
flawless flicks every time.

Q&A
Q: I DYE MY HAIR BRUNETTE
REGULARLY BUT IT STILL
THROWS OFF RED AND ORANGE
TONES. WHAT DO I DO?
A: Look for products with blue or
violet pigments to neutralise brassy
tones. Fudge Professional Cool
Brunette Blue-Toning Shampoo,
$26.99 contains strong micro
pigments that instantly banish warm
orange-red tones from brunette hair.
Just lather evenly through wet hair,
leave for two minutes and rinse.
beauty
Q: AM I CAUSING
SERIOUS DAMAGE
TO MY HAIR
IF I STYLE
IT EVERY DAY?
A: Make the GHD
Platinum+ styler, $340,
your new best friend.
This smart tool is
designed to respond
to your hair’s needs
while maintaining a
constant ‘safer-for-hair’
temperature of 185
degrees that won’t
cause damage to your
mane. This means no
more guilty sighs
when you reach for
your straightener
every day. Winning!
Q: HOW CAN I AVOID SKIN
IRRITATION WHILE SHAVING?
A: Opt for tools that protect skin
as you shave. Try Remington
Smooth & Silky Ultimate
Shave and Trim Shaver,
$99 from Harvey Norman
(harveynorman.com.au).
This dual trimmer features a
soothing aloe vera moisturising
and massaging strip for extra
comfort and reduced irritation.

 Ditch
Your
Five-Year
Plan
Here’s a question
guaranteed to freak
you out: ‘Where do
you see yourself in
five years?’ You’ve
probably heard it
a gajillion times –
from parents, friends,
potential employers
and, ugh, lame first
dates. And even if you
typically deflect it
with a corny response,
chances are, you’re
feeling a mounting
panic that goes
something like this:
‘I have no clue! I’m
so effing screwed!’
Permission to stop
spiralling granted.

THE CIRCLE OF LOVE

Worn by: Kate Upton (pictured), Dianna Agron
and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. What it means:
The round solitaire has an Old Hollywood feel to
it and the women who wear it exude the kind of

ROCK
glamour synonymous with that era. Their classic
style keeps them atop best-dressed lists and
they prefer a low-key lifestyle to party-hopping.

Chunky, bling-y and hard to miss, this is the
OG celeb engagement ring. The women who
rock this rock dominate the red carpet, have
body confidence in spades and often have
serious side hustles. They’re the full package.

INVITE
WHO YOU
WANT
Probably the most stressful
thing for me was who to invite.
I was weird about whether
to invite work friends, and
worried they’d be offended if
I didn’t ask them. In the end I
wanted to keep it small and
didn’t ask anyone from work.
Turns out they didn’t care at all
and we’re still super close to
this day. Meanwhile, I’m not
really friends anymore with
some people I did invite, so
you can’t really win.
Also, my mum wanted me
to invite family members I’m
not a fan of. I’m glad I put my
foot down and said no. I also
wasted way too much energy
worrying about the seating
plan. Everyone just ended
up mingling anyway.
If Harry’s exes coped just
fine at the royal wedding, your
friends and fam will be fine.
They were demanding from
the very beginning, and my
blood pressure went up every
time I got an email from them.
I wanted to cancel them, but
I’d already paid a few hundred
for the deposit. Of course,
I should have, because they
ended up being terrible on
the night. If you’re not getting
good vibes from someone
during the planning, cut them
loose. Chances are you won’t
be happy with them on the
night either.

 THE
HENRY GOLDING

The British-Malaysian star

of A Simple Favor and Crazy
Rich Asians on cocktails,
fashion and his old-school
acting inspiration

ON-SCREEN INSPO
‘For my role in A Simple Favor,
director Paul Feig told me my
inspiration should be [1940s
film star] Cary Grant in the
movie Suspicion. So that was
who I was channelling in the
film – a stoic character who
you don’t know if he’s a good
or bad guy until the very end.’

OUTFIT OF THE DAY

‘I love dressing up, but
most days I’m in thongs,
shorts and a T-shirt because
I live in the tropics.’

MAN CRUSH
‘Andrew Rannells is the
unsung hero of A Simple Favor.
INTERVIEW BY SUSANNAH GUTHRIE. GETTY IMAGES

He’s one of the nicest guys I’ve

met and the most humorous
human being. I would love to
walk in his shoes.’

TOP TIPPLE
‘I’ve had a few favourite
cocktails, but my go-to right
now is a mezcal negroni. If you
like a negroni, you need to try
it with mezcal.’ #

12 SEXY
THINGS TO
DO WITH
YOUR PHONE
Sexting is all well and good, but
there are plenty of other ways your
device can help you heat things up
WORDS BY TAYLOR ANDREWS. GETTY IMAGES
sex & relationships
1. Turn on the
flashlight feature
in your dark bedroom to
illuminate different parts
of your clothed body.
Instruct your mate to
remove each piece of
clothing you focus the
light on.
2. Video chat
bae then tell them to
keep their hands where
you can see ‘em while
you pleasure yourself.
Once you’ve finished,
it’s their turn to climax
while you watch.
3. Text your
S.O. your favourite
memory. Start with
‘Remember when…’ then
ask them to keep the hot
retelling going (in detail).
Later, use your vivid
back-and-forth as erotic
inspo for a solo session.
4. Send audio
files of questions like
‘Would you rather kiss
my neck or my nipples?’
to your partner. ‘Hearing
someone’s voice brings
fantasies to life,’ says sex
and relationship therapist
Megan Fleming, PhD.
5. Drop a pin
on your maps at a
location where you’ve
fantasised about getting
it on – that sultry wine
bar or the local library –
and send your love
the pin as a hint.
6. Outsource
your flirting by
giving your Tinder profile
to a friend, and letting
them swipe right on five
profiles. It means you
can’t rely on your usual
strict criteria, so you may
find an unexpected gem!
COSMOPOLITAN NOVEMBER 2018
7. Set your
phone’s timer
for three minutes, then
start having sex, says
sexologist Megan Stubbs.
At the buzzer, switch
positions, and repeat until
you find the move that
makes you both go wild.
8. Use your
banking app
to send your lover $20.
In the comment section
of the transaction, write:
‘Your challenge: find us
something sexy to play
with tonight.’
9. Tape the
audio of your next
hot hookup (with your
lover’s consent) via Voice
Memos. When you’re out
to eat later that week,
casually replay the file
to titillate them.
10. Set your
phone to
vibrate (with a free
app like iVibe Vibrating
Massager) as bae’s going
down on you. Then hold
your buzzing phone
against your nipples to
feel erotic tingles above
and below.
11. Screenshot
a photo of a
couples’ sex toy you
find online, doodle
‘I want this!’ over the
image using a photo-
editing app, then text it.
12. Snap and
send close-up pics of
your curves and make
your partner guess which
area of your bod they’re
from. But do so in a safe,
private, and encrypted
texting app, like Dust,
says Fleming.

Consider it the best way to feel devilishly titillated from head to toe. ‘Sensation
play builds arousal by touching and teasing different areas of the body with
a variety of pressures, temperatures and textures,’ says sexologist Emily
Morse, host of the Sex with Emily podcast. ‘It’s a great way for couples to
extend foreplay and explore each other’s erogenous zones.’ Try blindfolding
your partner, and tracing ice cubes along their lips, neck and lower stomach to
stimulate the nerve endings of their warm skin. Perfect for a summer sex sesh!

 HOROSCOPES

Scorpio
24.10–22.11

This month is all about independence!

Don’t be afraid to assert yourself in situations
where need be, especially when it comes to your
family. Your desire to stand out and pursue your
aspirations may cause tension between you and
your loved ones, but it will all be worth it in the
end. Stay true to your beliefs and it will pay off.
SCORPIO GUY: Your relationship will be a key
tool in bringing a plan to fruition, so use time with
your guy wisely.

SAGITTARIUS
23.11–22.12
Your passion for a project or
cause will see you overflowing
with enthusiasm. Be careful,
though, as your passion could be
mistaken for pushiness if you act
too quickly. Think through your
ideas before bringing them to
fruition. SAGITTARIUS GUY: His
advice is important. Listen closely
as he’s looking out for you.
ARIES
21.03–20.04
Take a deep breath and relax!
After the tensions of last month,
you will soon begin to feel calm.
Keep your loved ones close
and let go of any bad blood.
ARIES GUY: Be open to new
relationships, but any
encounters on the horizon may
not be the lasting kind, so don’t
rush into anything too quickly.
LEO
23.07–23.08
Prepare to take a new stance
regarding an awkward situation.
It won’t be easy, and you may
see old friends, relationships or
business partnerships change.
Be open-minded, as this could
see your life change for the
better. LEO GUY: You’ll finally get
some much-needed clarity
regarding your relationship.
ILLUSTRATION BY CIARA PHELAN. GETTY IMAGES
CAPRICORN
23.12–20.01
Looking for a major change in
your personal plans? Now is
the time to act! Whether it’s in
your career or home life, an
opportunity for you to implement
your skills and experience will
arise. CAPRICORN GUY: It’s time
to sort out uncertainties in your
relationship. Have it out with him
to get to the bottom of it all.
TAURUS
21.04–21.05
Feeling burnt out? This month,
your work will take second place
to your wellbeing, with plans of
serious pampering being a major
priority for your own health.
TAURUS GUY: You don’t typically
give yourself up that easily, but
this month you may have the
desire to throw yourself into the
arms of a stranger. Go, girl!
VIRGO
24.08–23.09
There will be some big decisions
to make this month in your
personal and professional life.
Take advantage of opportunities
that will benefit you, but be
mindful that some people may
waste your time. VIRGO GUY:
Love is in the air! You’ll find a
connection with someone in
an unexpected place.
AQUARIUS
21.01–19.02
Work will be a major focus this
month. Around the 23rd you
will be feeling the heat of your
workload. Your single-minded
focus could lead to feelings of
frustration and stress, so be sure
to utilise your team to share the
workload. AQUARIUS GUY: Don’t
neglect your man... he’s there to
help you de-stress.
GEMINI
22.05–21.06
Feeling adventurous? Follow
your desire to try new things –
it could be just what you need
right now. New opportunities
will arise in your personal and
work life, so make the most of
it! GEMINI GUY: Be sure to
pay close attention to your
relationship this month and give
it the nurturing it needs.
LIBRA
24.09–23.10
This month, you may feel out of
sync with those around you, so
make a conscious effort to stay
in touch with friends and family.
Around the 27th you will start to
feel any disruptions settle and
things will begin to fall into place
again. LIBRA GUY: Your boo will
be your number one supporter
when things start to get stressful.
horoscopes
PISCES
20.02–20.03
Feeling stuck at work? This
month is all about pushing for
that promotion, which will result
in a much happier and more
motivated work life. Around the
17th you will start to feel secure
in where you stand at work.
PISCES GUY: Open your mind to
meeting someone new – you
might be pleasantly surprised!
CANCER
22.06–22.07
Your creative side will come out
this month in your professional
life. Whether you have been
thinking of launching a new
business or pitching new ideas
at work, your efforts will pay off
over the coming months.
CANCER GUY: You will start to
find the stability you have been
looking for in your love life.
SCORPIO GUY
Adam Devine
07.11.83
He’s looking for a
compassionate,
giving partner who adores
deep, intimate
conversations. Plus, he’s
a sucker for intelligence.
