The latte makeup trend and style draws its inspiration from the creamy hues and warm undertones of our beloved morning latte. Think soft beige and caramel tones for a radiant, sun-kissed glow that exudes confidence and approachability. Embracing multiple shades of brown, this makeup trend has been catapulted into our net-verses by celebs, influencers, and the proverbial girl next door. It has become a go-to choice for those seeking a smart, light, and mature yet friendly appearance. And — sexy. The nude and all-brown makeup trend has been around, on and off, for hundreds of years, in various cultures, too. But sticking to recent history and speaking of rebirths of trends, it was in the 90s that the earth-toned makeup trend exploded (um, a brown lip liner, anyone?). Nude brown makeup continued to gain momentum alongside Kevyn Aucoin's own revolutionary contouring work on the iconic supermodels of the time. These two makeup styles emphasized one another's contribution to elevating facial beauty. The explosion was spectacular, especially considering the vastly different makeup trends of the decade before. This was the opposite of whatever the 80s were.
I remember the first time I put on M.A.C.'s Ruby Woo. It was at their store at Buenos Aires airport, and I was on my way back home, to another continent. I had $25 with me, for the whole trip back, hand to god. In my shy Spanish, I asked if they had Ruby Woo (it was near impossible to get to it back home). I just wanted to try on this most-buzzed-about red lipstick, to see what the big deal is. The moment I looked at myself with that shade and texture, and even though the washed-out orange, sporty top I was wearing did not, by any means, do Ruby Woo a favor, I was taken aback instantly and remained hypnotized; "do I really look like this? OMG, look at me with this...and the only color I have on my face are my dark under-eye circles. And I still look like this?" I think the lipstick cost about $23, and I gave my last bucks right there, on the spot. Happily. Because, at that moment, I knew that there was nothing I'd want or need more en route to home. That is what we want from lipstick.

Summer is the season of weddings, outdoor parties, proms, graduations — occasions where we approach makeup more seriously. After all, being immortalized in someone's (or our own, for that matter) life-long photo memories makes us want to look and feel confident, beautiful and classy.

Staying protected from the sun's effects is a must, but that sun-kissed look — also kind of a must. Our grandmas might have spent hours offering their faces to scorching rays to get all sun-sculpted, but thankfully, we know better now — and can get the desired results way quicker and safer.
When it comes to beauty, a high price doesn't always mean that a specific product will be welcomed by our skin; sometimes our skin will prefer a different formula, and if it happens to come at half the price (or even less) as the luxury option — oh, the joy of a newly discovered gem! These foundations here prove just that. They may not come with hefty price tags, but they deliver results that can rival even the most luxurious options out there.
The Met Gala is known for its extravagant and experimental fashion and beauty looks and for being the perfect place to flaunt drama. Seeing how this year the theme honored the controversial legacy of Karl Lagerfeld, this year's event did not disappoint — in both, drama and high style. From intricate hairdos and striking makeup choices to being defiant of Karl Lagerfeld's aesthetic and taste, the stars definitely took to making a statement with their presence and fashion and makeup choices.
Do you find the smell and sight of cherry blossoms optimistic and alluring? Does it make you feel impatient as you remember biting into those first, succulent fruits of the season (especially since they're Whole30-friendly)? That burst of taste and smell of cherries that is so mesmerizing to some is only the surface. The glorious cherry tree has a lot more to give than that. In the beauty industry, both wild and sweet cherries are used for an array of benefits they have on our skin and hair. Here's which parts of the cherry trees are used and what it is that makes them a hero among natural skincare ingredients.
No reason to ditch your trusted black eyeliner, but if neon, bright and bold eyeliners, eye pencils, and mascaras are something you normally never wear, you might end up having more fun with them than you expected. Neon eye makeup can be applied as a statement detail, if you're going for a trendy look, or in any other way you may discover appeals to you when you look in the mirror during play. However, do play, and here's why. Neon makeup tends to serve more the "makeup purpose of makeup" i.e. it's more about the artistic and striking decorative approach, and less about using makeup " to just look alive and presentable these days, girl!" purpose. Neon makeup wants to be seen standing out.
Festival season is upon us, and with it comes the challenge of keeping our beauty game strong amidst the dancing, the elements, and the crowds.

Girls will be girls, and will always be asking other girls about mascaras, OK? Oh, ChatGPT is totally a she, as I did also ask about its gender preference when I refer to it in the future (ask her yourself — hint, hint — it's up to us to choose). Now, back to the 10 best mascaras of all time.
Blessed be multipurpose makeup products! Not only do lip+cheek sticks and balms provide an even-hued, balanced look, but they also make us, if not gorg, then at least presentable — in a matter of minutes. They also make touching-up not an issue, since we can just dip and dab from a single product.
Enhancing the overall look and shape of lips continues to be an obsession of ours — lips are, after all, the (literal) gateway of expression! An abundance of lip treatments, both needle-involving and add-to-cart ones, and lip coloring products, speak of our desire to express ourselves via lips as capriciously and comfortably as we want to, when we want to. They remain a weapon (bullet lipstick, anyone?), and it's no wonder we want to embellish our trusted weapon.
Try to learn about an Aries woman and you'll discover that, among other traits, the energetic Aries likes to make her presence known, loves self-conquering and requires quality and as less fuss as possible. Translate that into makeup language: the less demanding a product is to use, the better. Aries women would like a finished look (and for it to be achieved quickly), so multipurpose makeup products would be something they would most often reach for.
