When it comes to finding the best foundation, we know you're looking for one that will have you covered no matter what the situation. And depending on your skin needs, that best foundation may be one that provides you with full and long-lasting coverage or perhaps a lighter formula that works well with oily skin. For some individuals the best foundations are those that offer a diverse range of shades or those that won't break the bank while providing users with airbrushed-like skin.
While it's too soon to start wearing any of the clothes from the Fall 2019 shows that just wrapped up in New York, London, Milan and Paris, there's no rule saying you can't start experimenting with the makeup looks seen on the runways. From artsy and edgy makeup you can rock at any music festival to glammed-up looks that are totally appropriate for that nighttime event, you can sample some directional fall makeup trends right now. Here are a few we're trying asap.
Feeling a bit fancy for St. Patrick's Day? Celebrate the holiday and party it up with green makeup ideas straight from the runway. Whether you want to keep it pretty and polished or prefer to go all out with an extravagant look, try on one of these looks pretty enough to wear any time of year.
There are some days when we're feeling pretty extra and want blue eyeshadow, neon lipstick and all the glitter. (Not necessarily at the same time.) Then there are other days where we're feeling more low-key and want to look like ourselves — just a little enhanced. That's when we strive for a natural makeup look.
Well, we've officially done it: We've paired our two fave things, astrology and eyeshadow palettes. And it's a match made in the heavens. Eyeshadow palettes and stars, both beautiful to gaze upon, both too numerous to count...
We kiss with them, we sip with them, we angle them with finesse to create coy little smiles — they're one of the sexiest parts of the body, and paired with the right gloss, balm, stick or stain, can make an onlooker weak at the knees.
The worst is over. And by worst, we mean winter. Yes, even though there is still snow on the ground in many parts of the country, the first day of spring lingers near... which means it's time to break out the floral prints, pastel hues, and bright (and fun!) makeup looks. It also means that it's time to shop for your new "it" eyeshadow palette of the season. Consider these top picks your main contenders, from a shimmery Jill Stuart quad to a retro-inspired Maybelline 12-shade palette — and get major eyespiration for your springtime garden parties or movie nights in the park. You name it, there's an eyeshadow (or 14!) that'll take your natural glow out of hibernation mode.
Ah, spring. We can finally leave the house and feel the sun shining on our faces. We shed the many layers of clothing and this year, we also get to shed layers of makeup. Because the major trend on the runway at New York Fashion Week? Bare-faced beauty. It's natural — the antithesis of layering foundation and primer and concealer. It means skipping the endless blending and highlighting in favor of your natural glow. And this year is even more fun. Besides the dewy skin and glow-ups, there was an added element to keep things interesting: a dot of shadow here, a swipe of underliner there, and you've updated the whole look.
Mardi Gras is the perfect opportunity to let loose and experiment with bold makeup looks that bring out your inner glamazon. Whether you're hitting the parade or a local party, the spring runways offered up creative new eye looks perfect for celebrating. Grab your most over-the-top pigments and get inspired to create the most extra Mardi Gras makeup with the looks ahead.
Thanks to all the hours that they spend in the makeup chair on the daily, most stars have some serious beauty-know how. They've spent years picking up tips on the best products and application methods, so they really are a good resource if you're looking for makeup tips and beauty advice. Whether that means creative use of a certain popular drugstore aisle balm as a highlighter, or the secret to a flawless red lip that wears all night long — well, that depends on which celebrity you ask. Keep reading for five of our favorite celeb-approved makeup tips.
CBD is everywhere these days — it's touted as everything from a topical pain reliever to a sleep aid... and now, it's the beauty ingredient du jour. Its newfound popularity makes sense: Because in addition to being "buzzy," CBD oil is non-comedogenic, rich in antioxidants, and it works as a natural inflammatory. Oh, and don't worry: It doesn't include THC (the psychoactive component of marijuana), so you don't have to worry about getting high.
If you're looking for lipstick inspiration, sometimes it's best to turn to the red carpet — after all, celebrities and their makeup artists are pretty much experts when it comes to the most eye-catching shades and the most decadent formulas.

Keep reading to shop the top picks!
How amazing was all the makeup at the 2019 Oscars this year? The red carpet was a veritable smorgasbord of gorgeous beauty looks — we're still not over all the amazing cat eyes, gorgeous lashes and statement lips. Keep reading to see some of the most exciting hair and makeup looks of the night; from Laura Harrier's icy blue eyeshadow, to Constance Wu's wavy ponytail.
New York Fashion Week may be all about the clothes, but for us, it's the hair, makeup and nails we can't stop thinking about. And this season, there was beauty inspiration galore at the Fall 2019 shows.
We've accepted the fact that you're not supposed to wear makeup while you workout — but some of us find it hard to hit the gym bare-faced, okay? At the very least, we like to put on a little concealer (especially when we're breaking out). And when it comes to workout-safe concealers, only the very best will do.
Oh, color changing lipsticks: We just can't quit you! What is it about them that makes them so uniquely alluring? Is it the throwback quality that brings us right back to high school? You know, those days with everyone trying on the same bright blue lipstick and eagerly turning to the mirror to see how it looked on each of us... Or does it go back even further; to the mood rings we got when we begged a quarter from our parents and popped it into the machine? Or is it simply the bewitching illusion that draws us in; the fact that it looks one color in the tube, then turns another hue on our lips, as if by magic?
So many good hair and makeup looks at the 2019 Grammys, right? There were amazing ponytails (a la Camila Cabello and Jennifer Lopez), killer smoky eyes (like Lady Gaga's and Nina Dobrev's), and magnum-sized eyelashes galore (thank you, Cardi B and Katy Perry).
Navigating the drugstore makeup aisle to find the best drugstore primer can be tricky — but it's a necessary process. After all, a makeup primer should be a staple in every woman's makeup bag, because it will keep your eye shadow from creasing and your foundation from dripping down your face halfway through the day. If you're on a beauty budget, never fear — you don't have to spend tons of money to find a great primer. We scoured hundreds of reviews and pulled together this list of the best drugstore primers for frugal beauty babes. We guarantee one (or more!) of these will be the best makeup primer for you!
