As red carpet fiends, we love covering the big award shows — you know, the Oscars, the Emmys, etc. But by far the biggest pleasure of all has to be the annual Met Gala: Because, no matter the theme, the credo of the night usually tends towards "Go big or go home," which usually results in some pretty epic beauty looks (not to mention full-on fashion shenanigans.)

Learning how to apply eyeshadow can get intimidating for amateurs. Yes, you've watched YouTube beauty gurus paint their eyes with amazing gradient looks and sexy smoky eyes, but for some reason you always seem to fail miserably — no matter how hard you follow their steps. They seem to just swipe those brushes across their eyelids and then, BAM: Beauty at its finest. But... how?
Much like clearing out your closet, spring is also the best time to give your beauty stash that annual revamp — after all, it's high time to clean and declutter, ditching any makeup or skin care items that are expired, etc.

Have you noticed a slight shift in brow culture lately? It seems like those carved, ombre brows are gradually starting to make way for something a little more feathery and natural. And for good reason: The feathery brow look is pretty much universally flattering, with a laidback appeal that still feels dressy and professional.

The range of price points and formulations means there's definitely a cleanser for everyone in this roundup.
The year is marching on. It's hard to believe we're already into April and it's just days until Coachella, marking the start of festival season. Getting tickets to the concerts is obviously the first order of business. Once we've done that, we know it comes to the really important part: finalizing our boho lewks. Whether you're going to Lollapalooza, The Governors Ball or a smaller gig, a head-turning beauty look is as essential as a good pair of jean shorts and a pair of comfortable-yet-fashionable shoes that will hold up for long hours of standing — or more accurately splashing — in a mud pit.
If you don't prime before applying eye makeup, you're committing a serious makeup crime. If you aren't convinced that you need (or have time for) this crucial step, maybe this will do it: Experts say that the No. 1 way to prevent makeup from melting and smudging is to prime. (Think about it this way: Taking an extra 10 seconds in the morning to apply eye primer is quicker than spending five minutes wiping eyeliner off your lower lids in the afternoon.)
We have very specific requirements about what makes a good lip balm. The best lip balm should nourish dry lips and keep them hydrated throughout the day. It should also taste lip-smacking good without any weird faux mint flavor. Bonus points if it's tinted.

A matte lipstick that dries as a thin veil across your lips certainly has its place. But sometimes, a rich, hydrating, plump and glossy pout is the look — and feel — you're going for.
