Some of us maaaay still be processing 2019, but nevertheless, 2023 is just around the corner. Lucky for us, all the beauty trends for 2023 bring in a lot of playfullness, sensory experience, mindfulness and optimism — with the primary focus on enhancing and emphasizing that which we do have, not so much altering it (significantly).

Roses are always a good idea, especially in skincare, but do you know which part of rose is in a product you've got your eye on? Upon seeing "wild rose" in the name, it makes sense that our first thought would be about that recognizable rose scent. Beauty products with wild rose can contain scent-bearing rose petals (or their derivatives), but that's not what "wild rose" in beauty products actually means. You, dear reader, are buying something even more precious than petals — rosehip seed oil from specific rose varieties.

That glow we'd like to have come spring? The healthy skin one, you know — where we get to enjoy seeing the results of all that extra care for our skin during cold seasons (which are known to make our skin needier than our single exes on a Friday night)? Totally attainable and as easy as applying a favorite foundation, by the way.

This gorgeous, limited-edition palette consisting of 18 matte, shimmer, and metallic shades is just what the doctor ordered for the holiday season. The shadows are rich and pigmented with true color payoff, and the mirror is removable!

With November 15th being National Recycling Day, we turned our focus more towards eco-friendly beauty brands, aka brands that are all about: sustainability, ethical sourcing, recycled materials, refillable product options, world water resources, fair trade, who are zero waste oriented and/or plastic-free and plastic-negative. This all means that they are also vegan and cruelty-free. The upside to these brands (other than the obvious)? A lot of them give back, and do it through, for instance, educational seminars or giving a part of their profits to be invested into the environment or communities, or using exclusively recycled or even plantable packaging. The new generation of environmentally conscious brands actually produces palpable results. And really good products.

Variety is the spice of life, is it not? Well, the holiday season is here, and new holidays-themed value sets are going to be popping up more and more, making it SO hard to pick and choose, while being mindful of our spending at the same time.

Whether you are looking to create an intricate or a minimal Halloween look, or simply attending some gatherings in "normal" attire, black makeup, although a staple in our collections in the form of mascara, eyeliner and pencil, is going to be getting way more visibility and usage, and on places on our faces and bodies where most of us don't often wear it (black lipstick, for instance, is not that common a choice for most people, but some days it's desirable even). Let's make the best of it, then, shall we?

Ana de Armas - swoon, right? Aside from her incredible work and talent, there are so many things that stand out about her, like her chicness and beauty, to name just the two most obvious. Due to the movie "Blonde", where she gave an exceptional performance, her name has the internet buzzing (more than usual), revealing to us some interesting makeup trivia - for instance, that it used to take 2.5 hours to do her hair and makeup in order to transform her into Marilyn.

We don't have to tell you how hot it is. From the United States to the United Kingdom, record-busting temperatures have made things pretty uncomfortable. They've also made it more difficult to wear makeup without it running down your face and neck by the end of the day.

Getting your makeup to last (like really, really last) in summer is one heck of a challenge. If you've ever applied foundation before running around in the heat, then chances are you've seen it fade by midday.

Summer is the time of year when many of us forgo our regular eye makeup routines. All that heat and humidity can cause our favorite mascaras, eyeshadows and eyeliners to get smudgy and fade by midday.

All of the cool kids in the 90s wore frosted metallic eyeshadow. While this shimmery eye makeup trend eventually faded in popularity, it's now back thanks mainly to Euphoria. The high schoolers on the HBO hit series regularly rock glittery eyeshadow, making it look fresh and exciting.

TikTok is responsible for many beauty trends, many of which die out pretty quickly. But there's one makeup trend making the rounds recently that we have a feeling will stick around for the long haul. We're talking about brown mascaras.

While it's fun to get glammed up every now and then, many of us default to minimalism for our everyday beauty looks. Fortunately, there are plenty of products that ask less of your time without sacrificing chicness. Think eyeshadow sticks that you apply directly to your eyelids, double-duty formulas and faux lashes that last for an entire week.

The clean makeup trend shows no signs of slowing down. We've already reported on clean mascaras and clean lipsticks free of potentially irritating chemicals that still deliver great results. There are also plenty of good clean foundations on the market. Many of which are available in a wide range of shades to suit all skin tones. They'll give you flawless coverage and a healthy glow with nontoxic ingredients you can actually pronounce.

At the New York Fashion Week Fall 2022 shows, we were surprised to see so many blue eye makeup looks up on the runways. After all, the last time we wore blue eyeshadow was back in the early aughts. (It was the frosted kind, of course.)

Recently, Pantone named Very Peri its Color of the Year 2022 and we couldn't be more excited. Basically, it's a periwinkle blue with some violet undertones. It's absolutely gorgeous and instantly soothes our mood. Naturally, we're adding it to our makeup routines in every way possible.

You're likely familiar with the difference between liquid foundation and powder compacts. Or pressed highlighters compared to creamy versions. And perhaps even wet versus dry eyeshadow. But how about liquid blushes and powder formulas? The former are an increasingly popular way to apply a bit of color to your cheeks that arguably offers a dewier, more blended finish.

Drugstores are full of mascaras. But some are certainly better than others. The really good ones rival their more expensive counterparts.

'Tis the season for all things gold and glittery. In fact, the holidays are the perfect time to glam up your makeup. Why? Well, nothing says festive like a stroke of gold eyeshadow across your lids.
