The Perfect Eyeshadows for Your Eye Color
Have you ever done your eye makeup and something just didn't seem right? Many times when people pick out eyeshadows, they pick the colors that appeal to them, rather than the ones that appeal to their eye color.

Love Your Lashes
Ladies, ladies, ladies, we are often always searching for the right mascara to make our eyes POP! I myself LOVE to have thick, long looking lashes. However, I rub my eyes far too often to get those fake eyelashes put on.. They would all fall off so fast, it would be a waste of money. Plus, I would rather have my natural long looking lashes.

Why Vegan Makeup Products Are Good for You and the Environment
It's a known fact that veganism is an increasingly popular trend in Millenials, and only continuing to grow in recent years. It's no surprise that many companies will start to jump on this new trend, including, the makeup industry.

And what is the benefit of buying these new products?

Independent Brands in Sephora
Disclaimer: If I am wrong about any, then please forgive me on that score. I tried my best. Therefore, take what I list with a grain of salt and do your own research. An indie brand essentially does not have a parent company (ie. constant backing, or outright ownership from the bigger shark) as per my opinion of it.

7 Makeup Products that Broke the Internet. Top Story - August 2018.
The first thing I think of when I think viral makeup is the infamous Kylie Lip Kit. Kylie Jenner launched her beauty brand on November 30, 2015, with the $29 lip kits (pairs of matte liquid lipsticks matched with a lip liner in nude, pink and brown) selling out immediately at Kylie Cosmetics. The internet couldn't get enough, with the lip kits quickly becoming the must-have lip product of the year. Since then, Kylie has expanded her brand to a whole range of products and collections, launching collaborations with Khloe and Kris as well as birthday, Christmas, Valentine's, and holiday collections. Whilst these have also sold at record rates, it can't be denied that the lip kit was the viral trend that started it all.

13 Indie Brands That Remind Me of Goth Culture and/or Halloween
Disclaimer: Skip ahead if you don’t care for a long introduction. Okay, I do not prescribe to goth culture, therefore I am quite ignorant on that score. Therefore, take everything I say with a grain of salt. I, however, do adore goth aesthetic, and I found these brands to be gothic in nature to my ignorant eyes. While they all also remind me of Halloween (not to be stereotypical), some remind me of All Hallow’s Eve a bit more than goth. Now I know it’s quite a bit early, seeing that it is not even September yet. But the inspiration hit (looking at my local stores that were already advertising costumes) and I wanted to hit the idea when it was still hot. Hence, here we are.

Contouring and Highlighting
Makeup has existed to enhance and beautify the appearance of the body. Cosmetics have been around since the beginning of time and have evolved drastically depending on the fashion and beauty trends of the decades and centuries that have gone by. Most makeup nowadays consists of products made out of creams, liquids, powders, pencils, or rouge. After YouTube came to be, many girls and women started creating makeup tutorial videos and became self-proclaiming “beauty gurus.” They started developing nuanced makeup techniques, one of the most popular being contouring and highlighting.
