In case you’ve been out of town or away from the internet for the last 15 hours, allow me to inform you that 28-year-old Latina socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Ortez won the Democratic primary against Joe Crowley, a man many thought could go on to be the Democratic House speaker. More on that here. More on who she is and…
The only thing cool girls love more than the big game is housing an order of two dozen buffalo wings and then talking about how cold she is because she’s so tiny.
As 2017 takes its leave, one thing is certain: the #RESISTANCE has arrived in full force—as a vague political concept, but also as a trend or a meme or a little bit of both. And, as with any trend or meme, the associated merchandise immediately followed, marketed aggressively with a savvy eye towards those who crave…
There was much gnashing of teeth this morning when, after 30 rapid seconds, Kylie Jenner’s much-hyped Lip Kit completely sold out. The collection went on sale at 9 a.m. By 9:01 a.m., there was nary a lip liner to be found.
Some people are so stylish that they can transcend makeup, can pull off every trend, no matter how objectively ugly, with the cool blase of a Mick Jagger muse. As somebody who has been doing her makeup virtually the same way since I was a teenager, I am not one of those people. I like to find products that work for me…
Remember when your little brother would eat his boogers in public and you’d want to die? Well, a member of Congress looks like she did the same thing on live television. Live television!
Well, we did it. We’re finally here. We’ve finally made it to the era that everyone thinks of when they think of “retro” makeup. It’s all eyeliner and lipstick from here on out, so grab your old pictures of Liz Taylor, cinch your waist in, and start adding liquid eyeliner how-tos to your Pinterest board because it’s…
Apparently today is “National Lipstick Day.” “National Lipstick Day” is not a real holiday, but it’s a great excuse to look at some vintage cosmetics. Let’s get inspired.
Sephora has made its share of missteps. First, the company stopped selling Demeter products, making it impossible for me to smell like Ginger Ale or a Blueberry Muffin whenever I wanted, and then they started marketing Kat Von D's makeup again, a move that's brought controversy to the brand with Von D's new shade of…
Color television wasn't widespread until, oh, the late 1960s. But don't think that stopped makeup brands from advertising their wares on black-and-white programming. They just had to get creative. Really creative. Weirdly creative.
Stop calling your fetish videos makeup tutorials. Not one person has learned one thing from them except maybe that they're into fetish videos. This is not a tutorial:
I don't really love wearing makeup but I have always loved looking at it, smelling it, and owning it. Days pass where I put nothing more than lip balm and mascara on my face, but, still, I shop for lipstick obsessively. In person, online.
London fashion week is doing the damn thing for your face, and a trend is popping up that fans of goth and danger-glam will go gaga for: slick pools of black tar on your lips, reflective as oil in a puddle. It's like latex for the face and I am here for it all.
So I'm not some kind of animal here to argue with the idea that there are women out there who need to be more regularly screened for cervical cancer. These statistics are from England, but so is the related bullshit (at least so far, but it threatens to spread!). At any rate, here are the numbers: in England, about a…
We, my friends, are living in a time where bigger truly is better. Bigger butts, bigger brows, and bigger lips are the new standard. And by "new" I of course mean "new" in the way that America was "new" when the Pilgrims showed up.
It's Friday afternoon and I should be riding high right now. After a week of crafting high-quality content for the internet, it's time for a break. It's time to chillax, enjoy some adult beverages and look fly as hell doing so. I should be ECSTATIC right now, dear readers, but I'm not. Why? Because my whole fucking…
Glamour magazine is branching out into the big bad world of beauty by launching Lipstick.com, which happens to be a domain that's just been lying around Condé Nast since 1999.
Searching for a vibrant lip color to live in brighten your Sunday? Look no further than Franchesca Ramsey's luscious suggestions. (Uh, just make sure to carry the tube with you because the heat is making everyone's faces melt off their faces.)
Lead and other dangerous heavy metals are still finding their way into cosmetics, including easily consumed products like lipsticks, lip balms, and lip glosses, according to two new studies.
What's in the name (of a lipstick)? That which we call a lipstick by any other name would look as awesome/get smeared on your teeth at the worst possible moments! Okay, sorry, that Shakespeare pun attempt didn't go so well. But professor Debra Merskin categorized the names of 1,722 lipsticks for an awesomely-named…
