How to cope with being demoted

It’s important to remember that you are still employed — and that things could be worse

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez actually wears these beauty products that are less than $50

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez blends so many amazing things together. She’s an outspoken woman passionate about others’ rights, she uses affordable and approachable makeup and she even wears a stunning red lip.

In one of Vogue’s past Beauty Secrets, the Bronx-born representative for New York’s 14th Congressional District shared her daily skincare and makeup routine.

In Ocasio-Cortez’s makeup routine, she uses a majority of products under $50.

She shares her regimen, which includes toner, vitamin C serums, moisturizers and SPF. “Don’t play games with sunscreen!” she tells the camera.

Of course, the biggest beauty takeaway from the video was Ocasio-Cortez’s signature red lip, which she realizes is just the right amount of statement-making for someone constantly on the go. 

“One of the things that I had realized is that when you’re always running around, sometimes the best way to really look put together is a bold lip,” she tells Vogue. “I will wear a red lip when I want confidence; when I need a boost of confidence.”

Her reaction after applying her red lip is one that’s familiar to every red lip lover. “Boom!” she said. “Even I feel a little more oomph with the red on.”

“If I had to give one piece of advice, it is that the key to beauty is the inside job — the key to beauty is feeling beautiful, and no amount of money or makeup can really compensate for loving yourself,” Ocasio-Cortez says.

Below, we rounded up some of our favorite products from the video so you can get a little bit of your AOC beauty on.

  • French debate on 'secular values' opens in a climate of political hostility

    As the government launches a series of discussion groups on the place of religion in contemporary French society, the battle lines are already drawn. The proposed broad public debate on the troubled relationship between faith and state has been criticised as divisive and unnecessary across the political spectrum. Launched by Marlène Schiappa, the Junior Minister responsible for citizenship, the series of public debates opened on Tuesday with a high-level conference in Paris.Intellectuals, lawyers and social analysts have been asked to spearhead the initiative which will involve round-table discussions and working groups on such topics as "freedom of expression, research, youth and social cohesion," according to Marlène Schiappa.The government is anxious to involve young people in the debate, and to create a climate in which the sensitive subject of religious affiliation in a secular republic can be analysed calmly. The consultation is scheduled to last several months.Various representative associations, like the International League Against Racism and Anti-Semitism (Licra), have been asked to contribute to the debate. A special website has been created to allow 50,000 young people comment directly. "The idea is to say, 'let's talk together, and let's listen to one another'," according to the minister.Target for criticismThere are those who say the debate is a waste of time and energy, since the gulf separating the supporters of complete religious freedom from those who brandish the threat of "islamic separatism", is unbridgeable.Socialist former education minister, Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, says the question of religion has been used as a political weapon by the far right, then by the Republican right, and "is now being instrumentalised by this government."And the question is regularly raised, simply to exclude one religious group, as it happens, the Muslims," she says."You don't organise a debate after passing a law," says the Green European deputy, Yannick Jadot, referring to the controversial legislation on religious separatism which has survived a first parliamentary reading and is currently on the way to being adopted as law.Another member of Jadot's ecology party, the Senator Esther Benbassa, is equally critical:"Marlène Schiappa launches the national consultation on religion, after her government has used the separation debate as a way of stigmatising Muslims," says the senator.Publicity stuntLaurnet Berger of the CFDT trade union has called on the government to stop waving the flag of religious affiliation as a means of dominating media attention.Berger says the series of national debates comes at a bad time, since the law against religious separatism "is still in the pipes, and is causing plenty of problems". French parliament votes to make religious separatism an offence French Senate approves toughened version of bill accused of stigmatising IslamOther critics, like former ruling majority parliamentarian, Aurélien Taché, have spoken of the initiative as "a grotesque publicity stunt".But there are voices being raised in support.Mario Stasi of the International League Against Racism and Anti-Semitism is convinced that talking is better than some of the alternatives."If we can shift the debate away from the gutter of hatred and insult on social media, and put different points of view side by side, and look at them seriously with a view to producing concrete proposals," he says, "then I see nothing but advantages in the idea of this national consultation."
