Yeah, pastels are great... but to really pop those baby blues (or hazels, or whatever color your eyes are), there's nothing like a pigmented plum. (That's right, we said it). You can dust a little around the outer corner or cover the whole lid... You can go for glitter or matte; for something subtle or full-on, dialed-up drama; for a drugstore find or a splurge... your options are pretty much endless. We'll show you the best choices at every price point — and the rest is up to you.
Spooky season is hands-down the best time of year, and while seasonal treats like candy corn (don't hate!) are one of the highlights, there's no denying that pumpkin-spiced everything takes the cake. That cozy pumpkin-y flavor (or scent!) brings on those fall vibes we truly love, whether it's in the form of a creamy latte or a festive cupcake.
Whether you've run out of time to do your full routine or you just want to give your skin a break, the no-makeup makeup look is always a good idea. More and more people have been going makeup-free (or close to it, anyway), and we've been loving the trend — it's easy to wear and it helps promote more realistic beauty standards. For example, instead of your favorite full-coverage foundation, you can go for a sheer base that lets your freckles shine through.
As the seasons change, we want a fresh start with everything — including our beauty routine. Thankfully, SO many of our favorite brands — from up-and-coming Dose of Colors and Flesh, to some of the most popular names in the beauty industry like Urban Decay and Fenty Beauty — have released brand new foundation formulas that we can't wait to get our hands on. And with a variety of finishes and textures (and tons and tons of shades), there's really something for everyone.
After testing thousands of beauty products, we've narrowed it down to a few dozen of our favorites — from super sparkly jelly eyeshadows, to charcoal-infused dry shampoos.
It's autumn, and that means cozy sweaters, falling leaves... and chapped lips. No worries, a quick dab of lip balm is all you need to get your lips back in shape in no time. But ladies, listen up: What we put on our lips is also going into our bodies — and some lip balms include nasty chemicals. Parabens and pthalates are hormone disruptors, and certain preservatives like BHA (not to be confused with beta-hydroxy acids) may even have carcinogenic effects.
Now that the hot (yet glorious) summer days are officially behind us, it's time to embrace everything we love about fall: flannels, pumpkin patches, and all things cozy. As you're transitioning your wardrobe from one season to the next, enhance your look with these fall-friendly lip colors. While you might be ready to dive headfirst into dark, bold lipstick shades (you do you!), we're here to remind you that there are more fall lip color options out there, including red, nude, berry, rose, maroon, and darker vampy hues. These picks, ranging in price, color, and wearability, will complement nearly every skin tone, so you can mix and match until you find the best shade for your next fall adventure.
From Indya Moore's curly bangs to Mandy Moore's perfectly-highlighted blowout; from Maisie Williams' asymmetrical bob to Michelle Williams' gorgeous dye job, there sure were a lot of amazing hair and makeup looks on the 2019 Emmys red carpet.

The cramped corridors of any backstage NYFW show can feel a bit frenzied, but there's a true sense of excitement permeating the hairspray-dense air, too. Excitement over the beautiful runway presentation that's just minutes away, excitement over the collaborate efforts of the hair, makeup, nail, and skin care teams, and excitement over the new looks — and yeah, new products — the world is about to discover. One of the coolest aspects of poking around backstage is spotting new, sometimes not yet launched, products. We're sharing nine of them with you today.
The 2020 Spring and Summer NYFW catwalk really brought it in the beauty department: We're talking fun and wearable makeup that's more than the typical "no makeup makeup" or "never could I ever" looks we so often see from spring collections. For your own upcoming eye makeup inspiration, we rounded up seven brilliant options for you that we got to watch come to life in real-time backstage.
As we pack away the neons and the shimmers with our swimsuits and cover-ups, it's time to pull out different palettes for the months ahead. Every season, our go-to hues shift with the sweaters we choose for the fall season — and though you may go a shade lighter as your tan fades, you can be riskier with your eyeshadow colors, since those transform all year round.
It's a classic makeup catch-22: Yes, you want to keep your forehead from getting all shiny... but you also don't want your makeup to look cakey. It can be a bit of a challenge to find that Goldilocks-level powder foundation that will straddle that fine line — which is why we've done the legwork for you.
Great lashes can make or break a look — they add instant polish and finesse, boosting your makeup to the next level. That said, it can be tough to know where to start looking when it comes to falsies. What are the best false eyelashes out there, anyway?
Quick quiz: Are you ending up with more brush bristles on your face than powder? Are the misshapen bristles leaving you with streaks? Are they all scratchy and poke-y? If you answered yes to any to these questions, it's time to bite the bullet and buy some new brushes, babe (and replace your hairbrush while you're at it). Makeup brushes may all look the same, but a good brush can make or break your look.
You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream! This summer staple is synonymous with fun. So much so, it even has its own holiday (#nationalicecreamday anyone?). And lately, many beauty brands are turning to the tasty treat for inspiration. From bright, bold shades inspired by your favorite flavors, to pretty packaging that looks almost good enough to eat, ice cream beauty products is definitely one of the summer's hottest beauty trends.
Orange is a fiery, bright and attention-grabbing color — so it might not be the first shade you reach for. If you're used to wearing muted and neutral makeup looks, orange eyeshadow might feel too out there. But don't let intimidation stop you from enjoying this trend: It's a look that you'll totally enjoy wearing during the last days of summer and throughout the upcoming fall.
You woke up super early and you applied all your makeup — you're flawless; it's a look. You've winged that liner and your lipstick is on point... but you have to go to gym later, and do you really want to do it all again for your appointment afterwards?
Tired of multiple steps in your eyebrow routine? Want something you can just swipe and go? Also, if you're a survivor of the great tweeze of the 90s/00s, then you may still be looking for something to fill in those brows that just never grew back all the way...
This summer, fruit-scented beauty products are everywhere — even more than usual, that is. Everyone from your drugstore faves, to cutesy indie brands and even the luxe, prestige lines are hopping on the bandwagon. It makes sense: Scented beauty products are a sensorial experience — so, much like eye-catching packaging, these little extras can make a simple product seem that much more luxurious. They also offer a bit of a throwback factor... if you remember Sanrio products, magic markers or scented glitter gels from decades past, you're sure to love these fruit-scented offerings. Check out some of our favorite fruity beauty products this summer and pick some up for yourself!
