DIY David Bowie Face Paint

If you saw last week’s special on 3 Genius Eye Makeup Tutorials then you know we’re total suckers for makeup-based costumes. Makeup can be so transformative, and (added bonus) gets you out of spending money on an expensive costume. This Ziggy Stardust-inspired look is even better, because you can create it entirely using products you […]

3 Genius Halloween Eye Makeup Tutorials

I love the idea of a Halloween costume created using makeup — instead of having to go out and buy a crazy getup you’ll never wear again, why not use it as an opportunity to stock your makeup drawer with a few new items that can add a fun twist to your usual morning routine? […]

8 Ways To Make Your Blowout Last Longer

Yes, winter is coming: but, a major upside of the arrival of cold weather? Much better hair days.

Are You Ready For The Return Of Brown Lips?

For any of us that grew up in the realm of the ’90s and early aughts, the term “brown lipstick” can be, well, somewhat terrifying. The images of brown lipstick seem synonymous in our minds with frosted lip gloss, matte skin, thin eyebrows, and bad, stripe-y highlights…none of which we’d like to see make a […]

How To Trim Your Own Bangs

Trimming your own bangs is a lot like doing electrical work — you do NOT want to try it yourself without first seeking advice from a professional and obtaining a solid set of instructions.

8 Steps to Glowing Skin

Usually, fall beauty trends are all about smoky eyes, contoured cheekbones, wine-tinged lips (or all of the above.) But this season, the focus is on fresh, glowing skin — a dewiness that comes from being healthy and taking care of yourself from the inside-out, and using makeup to reveal the best version of yourself instead of covering up […]

13 Best Loafers

Of all the shoes in my closet, my current favorites are a pair of dark burgundy velvet smoking loafers. They’re everything I want in a shoe: comfortable, feminine, old-world feeling, and a little bit edgy. They’re just plain chic, and that’s the beauty of the loafer.

How to Get Bold Brows

In case you’ve been living under a rock, brows are back in a MAJOR way this fall. We’re talking full, youthful, wild, amazing brows. Think Cara Delevigne, or better yet — a young Brooke Shields.

Not eyeliner, not lipstick, not even self-tanner. Somehow, of my non-beauty-editor friends, not one wears eyeshadow. And I’m not quite sure why. Compared to eyeliner and mascara, shadow […]
