Here, we're showcasing a roundup of brand new holographic finds (with some classics thrown in) that will look so good on your face and your vanity.
Makeup, like fashion, can be worn and interpreted any number of ways. This year, while bold colors are definitely seeing a resurgence, monochromatic makeup is making a name for itself. Not sure what it is? Allow us to explain.
It's all about exclusivity lately, isn't it? Sephora is launching a program this month where you'll be able to get your hands on some of the buzziest new palette launches, exclusively through the brand for the next 30 days. We're talking the latest and greatest from all your favorite brands, including Pat McGrath Labs, Natasha Denona, Urban Decay and more.
After many cold winter months, it's finally the start of a new season, which means that it's time to update your look. The Spring 2018 runways gave us many gorgeous beauty trends to consider, including bold eyeliner in all shapes and colors. And for the first time in many seasons, it wasn't just liquid eyeliner taking center stage; eye pencils got plenty of play, too.
There's much to be said for a beauty product that delivers on its promises, but when that product is able to multitask, it's catapulted straight to hero status. Put it in stick form so it's toteable and easy to swipe on and, well, let's just say there's a special circle of cosmetic heaven for such magnificence. Here, we've rounded up 10 of our favorite multi-use beauty sticks that'll have you covered in the lips, cheeks and skin department (literally)!
The glorious pageantry accounts for at least half the fun of watching the annual Academy Awards, right? The fashion and beauty are like eye candy in its highest form... especially this year, where you had stars like Jennifer Lawrence going full-on Farah Fawcett, not to mention stars like Viola Davis rocking one of the best hairdos ever. Suffice it to say, there were a lot of great red carpet hair and beauty looks to obsess over — and we've rounded them up for you here. Keep reading to see some of the best beauty looks from the 2018 Oscars.
Awards season: It's a wonderful time of year when makeup artists work overtime, creating glamorous looks that combine time-tested beauty favorites as well as exciting new product launches. Whether that means top secret new Glossier products, luxurious matte lippies from your favorite high-end brands or even a few drugstore steals, make no mistake about it, there's a lot of beauty inspiration to draw from the red carpets.
We think makeup should be fun — and while it serves a practical purpose, it should always maintain a touch of whimsy. Enter bouncy beauty products: products with a whipped, fluffy or jelly consistency. Typically light and hydrating, these products are simple to apply — usually just a dip of the index finger and a dab of the product will do the trick.
The struggle to create perfect winged eyeliner is one that we all know well, and it can be especially tough for beginners. After all, there are so many pitfalls: If the brush is too bendy, you end up with a crooked line. If the formula's too runny, you end up with messy streaks. If the felt tip is too hard, you end up with patchy skips along your lashline. Finding the best liquid eyeliner is a little like being Goldilocks because you have to find the one that's just right.
Daring eye looks never seem to go out of style. From graphic lines to smoked-out shadow cascading into your blush, we see new ways to strut our eyeshadows nearly every season. While some won't dare to go edgy, the brushstroke eyeliner trend is one that everyone can wear, whether you want to go there or not. This painterly, imperfect stroke of color across the lid is far from ordinary, but so on trend. It was showcased in smoky, vibrant colors in shows like Rachel Comey and precise strokes of black in Jason Wu. We touched base with makeup artist Frank Guyton to get the scoop on how to swipe this look on with ease.
March is almost here, so it can only mean one thing: spring is quickly approaching. The good news is, warmer weather is on the horizon (hello floral dresses and off-the-shoulder tops) but the bad news is, finding a wearable look in a sea of beauty trends can be quite a challenge. Countless trends dominated the runways, which is great if you love trying every beauty look under the sun, but if you're looking for a simple upgrade, it's easy to get lost.
In a saturated sea of hair tools and contraptions, it can be pretty easy to fall for a gimmick. We'd even argue that, at some point, most of us have thrown cash at a product that promised so much but ended up delivering so very little. Shattered hair dreams can leave a person downright skeptical of other products, especially if said products are kind of funny-looking. No need to worry because these out-of-the-ordinary hair tools actually work and won't leave you broken-hearted or limp-locked.
When it comes to fresh beauty finds, Instagram is the place to find 'em. Not only do all your favorite brands have pages of their own, but the greatest makeup artists in the world, who pretty much rule the industry and call the shots when it comes to trends, are all over the social media platform. If you're a makeup lover and you're not following the feeds of these wildly talented beauty mavens, you might be missing out on some face time with your favorite celebrities or being first to know about the hottest launches from your top-shelf brands. Here are 13 makeup artists you shouldn't scroll past in 2018.
We've all been there: you wake up and walk to the mirror only to be greeted by a not-so-beautiful breakout. But who says a blemish, or the redness associated with it, should have the power to knock you out of a good-looking skin day? Luckily, with a little color-correcting concealer, anything is possible.
Let this act as a PSA: If you've never heard of Catrice, it's time to familiarize yourself with the brand. It's a European brand that's relatively new to the States and it is absolutely crushing the budget beauty game. With prices competitively low enough to go head-to-head with your cheapest drugstore makeup faves and quality that's just as good (and in some cases, better) than many higher-end picks, you pretty much can't go wrong.
There's a fine line between wearing glitter in a cool way and looking like a clown. One wrong turn and you can look more flashy than romantic. To be honest, we shunned glitter and categorized it as a look only for teens but when Pat McGrath's glitter lip kit hit the scene a few years ago, we had an instant change of heart. Soon after, we saw glitter popping up on runways all over the world and the verdict was clear: glitter was no longer just for kids. We wanted in instantly.
Why is it that we have no problem spending hundreds of dollars on makeup, but often don't want to put the finances into creating a solid skin care routine? Truth be told: Makeup will never look the way we want it to if we're not properly taking care of our skin. But it's not only about saving money, sometimes we're just too lazy or pressed for time for a full 10-step skin care regimen.
New York Fashion Week may be primarily about the clothes but with makeup artists like Pat McGrath and Tom Pecheux keying some of the top shows, the whole beauty game is in a league of its own. From the barest of bare faces (perhaps adorned with some artfully placed glitter) to the most extra of David Bowie-esque neon hair, there were some truly next-level hair and beauty looks making their way down the Fall 2018 runways.
Hands up if you "occasionally" neglect to throw your out your expired makeup. That makes most of us, right? After all, it's tough to keep track, especially since most types of makeup have different shelf lives, ranging from three months (mascara) to 10 years (fragrance).
Picking the right foundation when you have oily or combination skin can seem like a daunting task. Choose the wrong formula and it'll clump up or streak down your face. Thankfully, there are some new matte foundations on the market that do a solid job of mattifying your complexion without the harsh, chalky finish that enhances fine-lines.
