Gabriele Pauliukeviciute on Her Simple Secret to No-Makeup Makeup
Frédéric Malle Image Director Gabriele Pauliukeviciute shares how she achieves a lit-from-within glow with just one product….
In the head-spinning age of multistep skin-care routines and mic-drop makeup launches, The One is a space for minimalists to sound off on a single beauty product that has found a longtime spot in their carefully curated regimens.
“None of us really need a lot of things, in fact only a few,” Gabriele Pauliukeviciute tells me over the phone from her home in New York City. Among a certain creative milieu, the Image Director at Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle is known for her exquisitely pared-back façade, exemplified in her simple cashmere sweaters and fresh-faced complexion. Of course, there was a time when the native Lithuanian experimented with what she applied above the neck, taking her cues from the pages of magazines and online tutorials, but eventually she streamlined her routine thanks to her mother and grandmother, who instilled in her the meaning of less is more. “They hardly ever even wore a face cream,” she recalls.
Now, Pauliukeviciute continues, she “only use[s] things that are very easy,” such as Biologique Recherche’s Lait U cleanser, a vitamin C serum, moisturizer, tinted SPF by NARS, and just one color cosmetic: Chanel’s Baume Essentiel in Golden Light, which she discovered through her friend, the model Giedre Dukauskaite. “Quite a lot of people have picked up on it and asked what I’m wearing—maybe because I never used to wear makeup,” Pauliukeviciute, a former swimmer, admits with a laugh, noting that the subtle bronzer, which she swipes down her cheekbones and across her eyelids, lends her complexion a lit-from-within finish reminiscent of the healthy glow her skin used to exude post-pool; recently, she’s even taken to applying a layer to her lips. “It makes them a little bit shiny but not in a tacky way,” she says of the handheld stick, which is, she adds, entirely foolproof: “You don’t have to be very perfect with it.”

Ray J’s NSFW Confession Shares Awkward Flirt Fest with Nicki Minaj On Instagram Live
Regarding social media dynamics, Ray J and Nicki Minaj’s collaboration is always a spectacle. Their Instagram Lives create buzzworthy moments, whether spilling tea or engaging in playful banter. However, on November 26, things escalated to new heights. Depending on how you see it, their chat took an eyebrow-raising turn as Ray J dropped a bombshell NSFW confession that left even Nicki Minaj speechless and viewers equal parts amused and utterly baffled.
It all started innocently enough, with Minaj grilling Ray J on some of their usual whirlwind of topics he made concerning Diddy. However, the conversation took a bizarre turn when Ray J decided to, quite candidly, share some details about his personal preferences. Ever the queen of comebacks, Nicki Minaj questioned his comment about “getting his groceries eaten,” asking for clarification. Specifically, he boldly confirmed his enjoyment of a certain intimate act, casually adding, “I always get in the shower before I have sex, so my ass is always gonna be clean.”*
Nicki, caught entirely off guard by a detailed explanation she wasn’t ready for, looked simultaneously confused and horrified. Sensing her reaction was a mix of disbelief and reluctant amusement only fueled his boldness. The awkward hilarity of the moment was enough to leave fans pausing and rewinding the video clip to see every second of her visibly perplexed face wrestling whether to laugh, grill Ray J further, or log off, screaming, “Did he really just say that?”
Much to Nicki’s dismay, things took an awkward turn when Ray J pivoted the conversation into shameless flirting behavior. He gushed poetic about her beauty, suggesting that even the mere utterance of his name was enough to “turn him out.” Trying to defuse the situation, Minaj dismissed his comments, but Ray J only doubled down, biting his lip seductively on camera while complimenting her. If awkwardness were an Olympic sport, Ray J might’ve snagged the gold medal.
Even the queen of holding her ground, Nicki quickly shut him down. “Don’t ever do that [again] in your life,” she warned sternly. After Ray J failed to rein in his antics, she delivered an ultimatum: stop, or she’d end the call. Predictably, Ray didn’t double down, his compliments flowing as freely as his earlier confessions, offering another apology laced with admiration. The rapper, clearly fed up, issued a final warning: “Stop playing like that, it won’t be the ending you want.” True to her word, Minaj promptly hung up, leaving viewers to process one of the oddest exchanges in their ongoing IG Live saga.
Throughout the chat, Nicki confidently navigated Ray J’s playful flirtations, maintaining her characteristic composure (mostly). While this may rank as their most bizarre live session to date, one thing is sure: these celebrities know how to keep people talking online, leaning into the absurdity of it all. Whether people love it or are shaken by it, fans can’t help but speculate about what unpredictable antics the duo will share next.

Trey Songz’s Legal Woes Take a Costly Turn With Judgment To Pay A Police Officer $11 Million
Once celebrated R&B superstar Trey Songz, a name synonymous with chart-topping hits and smooth vocals, now finds himself in the middle of a legal storm carrying the weight of a judgment ordering the artist to pay a staggering cost of $11 million to Tyrelle Dunn. A Las Vegas court judge ruled against the singer in a case brought by Tyrelle Dunn, a Maryland Capitol police officer, over an alleged 2021 altercation that left Dunn physically and emotionally scarred. The judgment, stemming from Songz’s non-response to the lawsuit, underscores the gravity of the allegations.
The case revolves around a harrowing 2021 incident at a Las Vegas hotel. According to Dunn, in the plaintiff’s lawsuit, his wife was escorted by the defendant’s security personnel to Songz’s hotel room 6014 under the pretense of a meeting with the artist. Once inside, she was allegedly assaulted, with her phone confiscated when she tried to leave. Hearing her screams for help, Dunn rushed to intervene while attempting to rescue his wife, only to face a violent confrontation himself. The aftermath was devastating: Dunn suffered fractures to both eye sockets and injuries to his nose, ribs, and head. He described the attack as life-altering, leaving him with lasting physical and emotional scars.
The 911 call made by a hotel worker reveals the troubling aftermath of an incident involving a man named Dunn. The call indicated that Dunn had been “battered” and robbed of his money and chain. The seriousness of the injuries was apparent, with Dunn requiring a lengthy recovery time, which caused him to miss over a month of work. What complicates this case is its dual nature. Although singer Songz was found innocent of any criminal wrongdoing in April 2022, the civil lawsuit proceeded, ultimately leading to the default judgment. Songz’s refusal to respond or participate during the legal process effectively sealed the decision against him, raising questions about his strategy or lack thereof in addressing such severe accusations and claims.
For Dunn, the court decision represents a measure of accountability, offering a sense of justice for an incident that he shared continues to impact his life daily. “The attack has had a profound and everyday impact on my life,” he stated, emphasizing the enduring emotional trauma extends far beyond just the physical injuries he suffered.
The judgment could have significant financial and reputational repercussions for Songz. Whether he plans to appeal the ruling or remain silent on the matter is yet to be seen. One thing is sure: the memories from that night in Las Vegas will stick around long after the courtroom battle is resolved. This case is a stark reminder of the far-reaching consequences of personal actions and public identities that can have lasting effects and sometimes lead to difficult situations.
