Somewhere, in the windowless filming rooms of their respective Calabasas mansions, beauty YouTubers Jeffree Starr and James Charles breathe simultaneous sighs of relief that some other messy bitch is distracting attention away from their “problematic” brands. Bella Thorne, actress/raver/tipi-owner, fumbled her way…
Hi, I’m Albert, I write for Deadspin. Here’s me, in more ways than one:
This morning, I thought I lost my eyelash curler and ran around my room in panic for a good 15 minutes: That’s how personally invested I am in eye makeup. But it seems the industry may not agree.
My life is usually in shambles but by the time I leave the house, I usually look presentable, somehow some way. I’m a naturally sleepy person but I love going out, so I’m sure you see my problem. I let products like concealer make it look like I’m awake in less than a minute and also add a gloss because that’s really…
Everything is stupid, and so are we. Welcome to Jezebel’s Stupidest Summer Ever, a season-long celebration of our worst, most idiotic thoughts and opinions.
Pat McGrath—legendary makeup artist to the supes of the ’90s and beyond— launched her own makeup line in 2016, after decades of work as one of fashion’s most successful and in-demand, and by far the most inventive. Pat McGrath Labs, her eponymous makeup line, has now been valued at an estimated $1 billion, neatly…
I have few regrets from my period of employment at Gizmodo Media Group, but never writing a product diary has always been high up on the list. I read them obsessively—one of my favorite creepy interests is watching other people’s beauty routines, and product diaries are basically that, but in blog form.
Search your heart, you know it to be true: Cetaphil both looks and feels exactly like cum.
When it comes to making risky, life-altering decisions, I am very decisive. I have quit jobs because of shitty environments with nothing lined up—hell, I left a lucrative (albeit soulless) career to chase an impractical dream of being a writer—and, though I wish it didn’t come to this, I took a gamble on my future…
I am agnostic down to my soul, which is to say that I have a very strong belief in possibility. I am as set in my ways as one can be while acknowledging that those ways mainly consist of stumbling through life while trying to do what’s right but never coming close to having it all figured out. This is my approach to…
It’s finally spring on the East Coast, and Jesus Christ, have we earned it. After a horrifying winter in which everyone’s toenails fell off and all our facial skin was wind-battered into ruin, it’s finally time to be outdoors. I hope to spend every free second either at the beach with a book about medical oddities or…
I’ll be honest, I think I wear more makeup than my genetically blessed and baby-skinned coworkers. I have rampant adult acne, y’all! It’s OK, I’m not that bitter. Not everyone can radiate sunshine out of their pores. And while I’m not over here wearing a dramatically contoured face everyday (because really who has the…
In skincare, as in life, I prefer the dramatic. Instead of taking the time and energy to actually learn what works for my skin, I always dismissed skincare as frivolous or complex, without realizing that I had been callously over-exfoliating. For the past 17-ish years of my life—starting around the time Blu Cantrell…
About ten months into dating my boyfriend, I stumbled into his apartment at 1 a.m. after an impromptu night of drinking with coworkers. Because his apartment is a 20-minute walk from my office, and because we had kept in touch throughout the night and he knew the state I was in, this wasn’t an issue.
The world has changed considerably since the last time I documented my daily product use, which was all the way back in February 2015. That’s three-plus years. Life was simpler then. Climate was changing slightly less, racism barely existed :), and a bag of Cheetos was exactly the same price as it is now. Back then, I…
This year on my mom’s birthday, I gave her and ultimately myself the best gift ever; I quit smoking cigarettes. Smoking was part of me for—gasp—almost half of my life. My grandmother smoked two packs a day, my grandfather died on a horse while smoking, my aunt, uncle and cousins smoked so much they collected enough…
Isabella Rossellini has been on the cover of Vogue 23 times, acted in David Lynch movies, and appeared in Madonna’s Sex book, but all she wants to do right now is talk about how animals fuck.
When I was younger, I remember looking at women with (what I thought was) effortlessly beautiful curly hair and being perplexed at the fact that mine didn’t just naturally wake up looking like that. Little did I know, maintaining curly hair actually takes a lot of effort!
By now you might be aware that Brandon Truaxe, the CEO of cult beauty brand Deciem (which sells those super affordable Ordinary serums), has been wreaking havoc in the beauty industry.
Something is in the air—spring, allergies, tiny baby birds—and it is driving me to open my wallet and scream “Yas, I want to look like I’m in the chorus of a high school production of Meet Me in St. Louis!” as I throw a very specific shade of blue eye shadow into online shopping carts across the web.
