When Lucy Edwards was 17 years old, she went blind. Due to a rare genetic disorder, the British teen began to lose her vision at the age of 11. In the two years that have passed since the now-19-year-old lost her sight, Lucy has graduated from high school, been accepted to law school, and become a popular YouTube beauty blogger. Yes, Lucy is blind and a beauty vlogger, and she’s a pretty damn good one at that (check out her YouTube channel, YesterdaysWishes, here). After losing her vision, Lucy told BuzzFeed that she turned to her sister Alice for help doing her makeup. With Alice’s…

Moisture and hydration, two words that are being used interchangeably by many beauty companies for advertising purposes—they are both essential in keeping our skin healthy. Still, their meaning is far from the same. Most especially now that skincare is still a rising trend, consumers and enthusiasts should know the exact meaning and difference of these terms that beauty companies are taking advantage of. If you are new to skincare, you might get confused with some terms, which is understandable. Korean skincare is one of the most famous skincare routines people loved.

When a person proposes, the fiancé is given an engagement ring. Anthropologists claim that this custom evolved from a Roman custom in which wives wore rings attached to small keys, suggesting possession of their husbands. The betrothal ritual, an engagement or vow symbolic of the Middle Ages, has reappeared over several generations. In history, cavemen attached some grass to their women’s legs or the necks of their female companions. In modern times, people use gold and diamond rings to propose to their partners.  Engagement and wedding rings carry numerous meanings that are often sentimental. These rings can be passed down…

Clown contouring is the latest twist on how to define your face. Find out what it is and how to get the look. New contouring variations just keep on coming. If you haven’t mastered regular contouring, you’re behind because you’ll also have to learn about colorless contouring, strobing (contouring without dark shades), hair contouring, and cleavage contouring, if you want a full-body contoured look. At the way things are going, expect foot contouring to be a thing soon, although I have no doubt there is already a YouTube video on it. You may have to start buying contouring palettes in bulk to try all of the new twists. Here’s…

Here’s what I love about beauty—even with all of the classic, staple looks everyone adores, there’s still plenty of room for new trends. One realm in particular where new techniques are common is the messy and complicated world of contouring. We’ve seen it done well (and poorly) on celebs like Kim Kardashian, Sarah Hyland, Kylie Jenner, and more, and it’s been done on faces, bodies, and even hair. Well, now there’s something new for us all to be bewildered by: colorless contouring. First things first: the kind of contouring we’ve come to know and love involves dark bronzers, highlighters, and a complicated amount of smudging, so…

We all know about face contouring even if we haven’t quite mastered it the way Kim Kardashian has. And you probably just realized that people are also contouring their bodies due to Kylie Jenner‘s unfortunate cleavage contouring mishap. Did you know that there is also hair contouring? Don’t worry, it doesn’t involve putting foundation and highlighter in your hair. Hair contouring is based on the same principles as face contouring but it uses hair color, not makeup. The technique was developed by Charles Worthington Art Team Director, Mark Trinder, and is offered Charles Worthington salons in the UK. We interviewed the Artistic Director of Hairroin Salon in New York, Luis Payne, who explained to us what exactly…

I blame YouTube for my strange desire to have stiletto nails. I am obsessed with YouTube beauty guru Nicole Guerriero. Obsessed. Every video she puts out is gold. She’s recently given them up, but she rocked stiletto acrylics in shades of red and pink for a good year, and there was something terribly appealing of the clacking of her plastic tips against makeup packaging. You know the scene in Amelie when she shoves her hands into a tub of beans for the visceral pleasure of it? This is the attraction I have to stiletto nails. I also love unabashed girlie glamour (see: my…
