Before we begin, allow me to get one thing straight: you have a beautiful, beautiful nose. I don’t care what it looks like. Beautiful. You’re not going to be able to convince me otherwise. That just had to be said. This is a No Self-Hate Zone. Cool? Cool. Now that that’s out of the way, we can focus on the fun part of makeup. It’s nothing short of amazing that you can use tips, tricks, and eyeshadow palettes to transform your face in a million different directions. It can make your lips look bigger. It can turn you into a Halloween monster. And, if…

Am I the only one out there who loves the way lipstick looks… but has a really, really hard time keeping it on her damn mouth? I’m not talking about keeping it in the perfect place, I’m not talking about keeping it on through meals, and I’m not talking about keeping it on for hours on end. I literally just cannot wear most lipsticks for longer than a few minutes before it mysteriously vanishes. Luckily, there are some kind souls out there in the YouTube beauty community who are devoted to solving the great makeup mysteries of the world. If you’re anything…

The makeup counter is a tempting place. You are drawn in as soon as you see all of the shiny new lipsticks and nail polishes neatly lined up in a rainbow pattern. Once you start trying them on, it is nearly impossible to walk away empty-handed. You go through a myriad of emotions while browsing, but the one you cannot ignore is the strong urge to get something. If you find yourself debating about whether you should splurge on another red lipstick or your eighteenth nude eyeshadow palette, there are ways to convince yourself (and whoever else you need to) that you need this.…

Some people cannot pry a red lipstick bullet out of their hands, while others lose their minds when they cannot find their tube of mascara. You are not like those people. Sure, you love mascara and lipstick–especially if it is a bold color–but nail polish is hands down your favorite beauty product. You love everything about it, from the nude shades to the dark polishes, and you could troll the internet for hours looking up nail art ideas.

If mascara is your favorite beauty product and you ALWAYS wear it, you will definitely be able to relate to these signs. If you were stranded on a deserted island Survivor-style and you could only take one beauty product, it would definitely be mascara. You know you should say something practical like sunscreen or a face mist, but you cannot do without mascara. You apply mascara every single day without fail. It doesn’t matter if you are sick in bed and feel like death warmed up, you are going to put on mascara, and it will probably make you feel a bit better.…

It is safe to say that a lot of the world has a makeup obsession. We count down the days until makeup collaborations are finally released, and we cover our arms with swatches in the search for the perfect shade. You may love all beauty products, but lipstick has a special spot in your heart. If you could only have one beauty product, lipstick would be it, hands down. You feel naked when you’re not wearing it and collect it the way some people collect antiques.

Sometimes when you see someone around you feeling uncomfortable, it may not always be their social anxiety or dress but their shoes. Yes, you heard that right! No matter how perfectly you dress up, if you don’t feel comfortable in your shoes, it will not take much time to show up on your face and body language. People with high arches often find it painful to wear shoes. It is impossible not to live a life without wearing any shoes at all. The worst part is that it is not the shoes but the shape of your arches that gets…

It all started after Tarte sent a shit ton of beauty bloggers to Turks and Caicos Islands to have a blast and see all the products from their new Spring collection. I got one glance at the Tarte Lippie Paints, and after having a small panic attack, I started to countdown the days until they’d be available. If you guys haven’t figured it out yet, I have a sick obsession with liquid lipsticks. The fact that you can live your life like you normally would and not have to worry about your lipstick ending up all over your face truly is a…

We have seen countless hair trends recently. In the past few weeks alone, there have been rainbow bangs, checkerboard hair color, color melting, and most recently, unicorn horn braids. However, there haven’t been many new lipstick trends. The only interesting lip news has been about Kylie Jenner’s new lip kits and the best dupes because they sold out again. If you have been hoping for a new lip trend to play around with, you’re in luck because animal print lips are the latest beauty trend. Forget about the obsession with glitter lips, or the tried-and-true ombre lips look; animal prints are the wild new trend. And the animal print of…

Color melting is the latest hair dye technique that gives you a natural color blend that regular ombre and balayage cannot. If you’ve played around with ombre hair, you know that one of the cons about the technique is that, even if you go to a skilled hair colorist, there’s usually a line of demarcation between where the bleach was applied and your natural color. A colorist will normally soften the lineup with different shades and a balayage technique, but if you look closely, you can probably still see it. Worse yet, if you go to an unskilled colorist for an ombre…

Forget about ombre and dip dye. Rainbow roots are now a hair color trend thanks to Lottie Tomlinson dyed multicolored roots. When it comes to rainbow hair, the emphasis is either on the entire hair or on the ends. Hello, ombre and dip dye. However, the latest hair color look brings the focus to the roots. Lottie Tomlinson is the sister to One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson and assistant to celebrity hairstylist and makeup artist Lou Teasdale. She has captured the hearts of rainbow hair fans everywhere with her new multicolored roots dye job.

Pumpkin Spice is a massive thing for fall and now it has taken over hair colors with people requesting pumpkin spice dye jobs. When it comes to fall, pumpkin spice is as synonymous with the season as the changing of the leaves, plaid clothes, and cooler temperatures. It’s not just the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Lattes that are a quintessential fall treat—it seems like every single food is available in a limited-edition pumpkin spice version. Now, pumpkin spice is taking over the beauty world with the rise in popularity of pumpkin spice dye jobs. (Related: Smokestack Hair Color Is the New Look That Doesn’t Make You…
