New Liquid Lipsticks We're Loving Right Now

If the '90s were known for perpetuating a frosty sheen on lips and the '00s for blindingly shiny, sticky gloss, gloss and more gloss, then the '10s (or whatever you call this decade) will go down in history as the renaissance of matte lipstick, preferably in liquid form

The Fuzzy Gray Coat Karina Wants to Wear Throughout Fall

When I previewed Madewell's collaboration with Parisian label Sézane, my eyes instantly fell upon this heather gray coat. Joyce Lee, Madewell's head of design, was standing next to me as I felt the wool lapel (even softer than I imagined) and upon her suggestion, I tried it on.

Why Your Grandfather's Razor is the New Shaving Trend

Small batch essences, organic cotton face cloths, hand-crafted oil cleansers — with indie, artisanal products making major moves on the beauty industry, it was really only a matter of time before shaving got all fancy.

These Surprisingly Simple Hair Trends Dominated the 2016 VMAs

Sure, Kanye did A Thing. So did Beyoncé. But even with all of that going on, the hair at Sunday night's 2016 MTV Video Music Awards also proved to be plenty memorable — and not because it was over-the-top or involved meat. (We missed you, Lady Gaga.)

The Un-Boring Neutral Nail Polish That Makes Karina Beam With Hometown Pride

Marc Jacobs Collaborates With MTV Just in Time for the 2016 Video Music Awards

When Marc Jacobs presented his resort 2017 runway show this summer, we were immediately entranced by the lively, nostalgia-heavy ode to the '80s.

Nice Outfits That Will Never Ever Go Out of Style

While we love to see celebrities take on of-the-moment, straight-off-the-runway trends, there’s something to be said for the outfits that they wear over and over again, season after season. For example, if we had a dollar for every time Karlie Kloss wore a fitted T-shirt, midi skirt, and flats, we’d have enough money to go out and buy a whole new outfit.

Is it appropriate to apply makeup on young girls?

Why These Clear Lipsticks Are Even Prettier On Than In The Tube

Who really wants to wear a thick layer of lipstick on days when the temperature hits triple digits? While our matte shade remains a favorite evening staple, it just doesn’t feel right at the beach or sipping drinks poolside. All we want is a juicy wash of color to make our pout look hydrated

Along with tweed suits and little black dresses, the practice of tanning is one of many things that have commonly been attributed to Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel. The widely accepted tale goes something like this: Chanel was photographed in the French Riviera sporting a suntan in 1923, and voila! Bronzed skin became the desired look from then on. But can one woman really be responsible for how billions of people continue to alter their complexions each year?

Products That Beauty Pros Actually Purchase Themselves

One of the not-so-secret perks of working in the beauty industry is the onslaught of product samples that comes along with it. Whether you're an editor or an artist, it's your job to know the market inside and out, so it's your life's work to test everything and anything — sounds rough, right?
