PREP
Let’s be real—makeup is fun, but it only looks as good as the skin underneath it. That’s why prepping your face with skincare is an absolute must! Think of it like creating the perfect canvas for your masterpiece. Skincare helps smooth, hydrate, and protect your skin so that your makeup applies better and lasts longer. Plus, taking care of your skin isn’t just about makeup—it’s about keeping your skin happy and healthy every day.
non-negotiable. Wash your face to get rid of any oil, dirt, or leftover makeup. Then comes moisturizing, which is basically like giving your skin a drink of water. Dry skin can make foundation cling to patches, while oily out proper hydration can send your makeup sliding off. Using moisturizer for your skin type is key to keeping things balanced. And forget sunscreen if you’re heading out during the day—because damage is so not the vibe.
Now, let’s talk about primer. The best time to use it is after your skinright before makeup. Think of it as the middle step that makeup worlds. Primer helps to smooth your skin, mize the look of pores, and even out texture so that your foundation applies like a dream. It’s also the secret to making your makeup last all day—because nobody has time for touch-ups every hour!
Skincare and primer are the ultimate prep team. Treat your skin right, layer on that primer, and watch your makeup go from “meh” to “chef’s kiss!”
minutes ago. Base products like concealer, foundation, bronzer, and blush are the secret weapons to enhance your natural beauty and create that smooth, sculpted, and glowy vibe. Here’s how it all works:
Concealer
Let’s start with the MVP of base makeup: concealer. Think of it as your little magic wand for covering up dark circles, blemishes, or redness. It’s perfect for those “why do I look so tired?” mornings. Use a creamy, full-coverage concealer under your eyes to brighten things up and a matte formula to cover spots or red-
ness. And if you’re in a rush? You can even foundation and just use concealer on areas that need it.
Foundation is the base of the base—the product that evens out your skin tone and gives you that fresh, polished look. Whether you like a full glam moment or something more natural, there’s a foundation out there for you. Lightweight formulas (like skin tints or BB creams) are great for everyday wear, while medium to full coverage is perfect for events or when you want to look extra flawless. The key? Blend, blend, blend! Use a sponge or brush to make sure it melts seamlessly into your skin, and don’t forget to match your shade to your neck for a natural finish.
Bronzer
Here’s where the fun really starts—bronzer brings warmth and dimension back to your face after evening everything out with foundation. Think of it as the shortcut to that “just got back from vacation” glow. Apply bronzer lightly to the areas the sun naturally hits: your forehead, cheekbones, nose, and jawline.
BASE
Cream bronzers are perfect for that dewy, fresh look, while powder bronzers are a classic for adding a touch of definition. And remember, a little goes a long way—build it up gradually to avoid looking too orange.
Blush
Now for the final touch: blush! It’s the easiest way to look awake and alive, even on your most tired days. A pop of color on your cheeks instantly adds a

perfect lip look, lip liner, lipstick, ty. Each one has its own job, and when you layer them right, your lips go from “cute” to “absolutely stunning.” First up: lip liner. This is your secret weapon for defining your lips and mak- ing them look fuller. Whether you’re overlining for a little extra drama or just tracing your natural shape to keep things neat, lip liner helps lock your lipstick in place and prevents it from smudging or bleeding. Pro tip: match the liner to your lipstick for a seamless look, or go slightly darker for some soft, sultry dimension.
Next, we have lipstick, the star of the show. Lipsticks come in all the finishes—matte, sat- in, creamy, sheer—you name it. Matte gives you that bold, state - ment look, while creamy or satin finishes keep things classic and comfortable. Whatever your vibe, lipstick adds the pigment and personality to your lips. Want a timeless red? A trendy nude? A daring berry? Lipstick’s got your back.
And finally: lip gloss. Gloss is the cherry on top, adding shine and dimension that make your lips pop. A clear gloss works perfectly for a fresh, natural vibe, but layering a tinted gloss over your lipstick can take your look to the next level. Plus, if you’re feeling low-key, you can wear gloss solo for a quick, no-fuss finish that still looks fab.
The best part? You don’t have to wear all three together every time. Some days call for a fully lined, bold lip; other days, it’s just a swipe of gloss and go. But when you combine them—lip liner for precision, lipstick for color, and gloss for shine—you get a pout that’s next-level glam and ready for anything.

First up: your lashes look longer, darker, and fuller. A few swipes can instantly open up your eyes and take your look from zero to wow. Whether you want a natural finish or full-blown drama, there’s a mascara for every vibe (and waterproof options for those emotional days).

The 90’s Are Back
Grunge, edge, and all things cool—the ‘90s are making a serious comeback. This iconic decade is taking over wardrobes everywhere, and we’re loving every minute of it. Think dark, moody colors like deep burgundy, rich forest greens, and classic blacks paired with textures like leather, denim, and chunky knits. It’s all about effortlessly blending edgy and chic.
Let’s talk leather jackets. Oversized or cropped, sleek or studded, a leather jacket is the easiest way to channel that cool, rebellious vibe. Throw it over a slip dress for an elevated look, or pair it with jeans and combat boots for classic grunge. And those darker tones? They’re the perfect backdrop for layering textures and adding pops of metallic or jewel tones. A deep plum lip or smoky eye paired with these shades ties the whole vibe together. Plus, they’re versatile enough to go from casual to statement-making with just a few tweaks.
The best thing about the ‘90s resurgence is that it feels modern and wearable.
It’s not about copying the past— it’s about taking those iconic elements and making them your own. So grab that leather jacket, swipe on a dark lip, and channel your inner ‘90s icon. Because this trend isn’t just back—it’s better than ever. Speaking of denim, baggy jeans and cargo pants are back too.
The relaxed fit gives off an effortlessly cool vibe, especially when paired with cropped tops, chunky sweaters, or oversized flannels. Layer on a few chokers or chain necklaces, and you’ve got the perfect throwback look that still feels fresh.
The ‘90s resurgence isn’t just about fash-
ion—it’s a vibe. It’s about mixing bold pieces with everyday staples to create a look that feels both nostalgic and new. Whether you’re channeling edgy rock star energy, casual skater vibes, or even preppy plaid à la Cher Horowitz, the ‘90s give you endless options to play with. So grab your leather jacket, swipe on a deep berry lip, and get ready to relive the decade in the coolest way possible.

What is It?
The clean girl aesthetic has been taking over social media feeds, but what exactly is it? Think of it as the ultimate “effortlessly put-together” vibe—a look that screams polished but low-maintenance (even if a lot of thought goes into achieving it). The aesthetic centers around fresh, dewy skin, sleek hair, minimalist fashion, and an overall glowing, healthy appearance. It’s not about being overly done up but rather letting natural beauty shine through with subtle enhancements.
Where It All Started
The clean girl aesthetic didn’t come out of nowhere—it’s deeply rooted in timeless beauty trends. Minimalism and “less is more” ideals have always been in style, but social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram gave this aesthetic its modern makeover. Celebrities like Hailey Bieber and Zendaya, who often sport glossy lips, laminated brows, and glowing skin, have become the poster girls for this trend. But the clean girl look also ties into the rise of self-care culture, where skincare routines, wellness, and inner health are just as important as the outer glow. To master the clean girl aesthetic, you focus on enhancing your natural features while looking polished and refined. Here are the key elements
Skin First
Dewy, hydrated skin is non-negotiable. Think skincare serums, SPF, and a lightweight foundation or tinted moisturizer. The goal? A complexion that says, “I drink water and get eight hours of sleep.”
Soft Glam Makeup
Feathered brows, a touch of cream blush, and a glossy lip are staples. It’s not about heavy contour or bold eyeshadow; it’s about radiance and simplicity.
Hair Game
A sleek bun or ponytail is the go-to hairstyle. It’s all about neat, shiny locks that stay in place—no frizz
Neutral Wardrobe
The clean girl’s closet consists of neutral tones, tailored basics, and gold jewelry. Think oversized blazers, crisp white shirts, and clean sneakers or loafers.
Accessories That Glow
From pearl earrings to dainty necklaces, the aesthetic thrives on subtle, classic pieces that add a touch of elegance without overpowering the look.
anWhy It Works
The clean girl aesthetic is popular because it’s aspirational but approachable. It’s a reminder that beauty doesn’t always have to be about being bold or over-thetop. Instead, it’s about feeling confident in your skin and presenting the best version of yourself—glowy, sleek, and effortlessly chic. Whether it’s for a Zoom meeting or a night out, this aesthetic feels fresh, modern, and perfect for just about any occasion.

nail trends you need to try right now.
When it comes to self-expression, nails are the ultimate accessory, and 2024 has brought us one of the most mesmerizing trends yet: Aura Nails. These dreamy, ethereal designs are stealing the spotlight everywhere from Instagram to your favorite nail salon. If you’ve been looking for a way to turn your fingertips into tiny works of art, aura nails are your answer. Let’s break it down so you can see why everyone is obsessed.
What Are Aura Nails?
Think of aura nails as mini canvases that capture your energy in a radiant glow. Inspired by aura photography and energy fields, this trend uses soft gradients of colors to create a halo-like effect. Whether you’re channeling calm blues, passionate pinks, or fiery oranges, the hues are blended seamlessly to mimic your personal vibe. The result? A nail design that feels both unique and spiritual—like your energy is on full display.
How to Get the Perfect Aura
While some DIY kits are available, the best way to nail (pun intended) this trend is to head to your local nail artist. Aura nails require a skilled hand to blend the colors just right, creating that soft, glowing effect. Most nail techs use an airbrush or sponging technique to achieve the flawless gradient look. Before your appointment, think about the colors you’re drawn to. What energy do you want to project? Share your ideas with your nail tech!
Why Everyone’s Loving it
Aura nails are more than just a pretty look—they’re about connecting to your personality and mood. Feeling balanced and calm? Soft lavender and pale yellow gradients give off chill vibes. Want to make a bold statement? Bright oranges and deep reds scream confidence and charisma. Plus, this trend works perfectly with any nail length or shape, whether you’re rocking short naturals or long almond tips.
And let’s not forget how versatile they are! Aura nails can be customized with metallic accents, glitter overlays, or even tiny gems. The possibilities are endless, making them a favorite for anyone who wants a design as unique as they are.
When it comes to nail trends, nothing says next-level glam like metallic finishes and futuristic designs. Enter Metal Manis—the bold, edgy, and totally mesmerizing nail art style that’s taking over. This trend is all about reflective chrome finishes, eye-catching 3D designs, and shiny metallic textures that give your nails a high-fashion edge.
The Chrome Craze
If you’ve been scrolling through TikTok or Instagram, you’ve definitely seen it: that ultra-sleek, liquid metal look. Chrome nails are at the heart
metal mani
of the Metal Mani trend, offering a finish so smooth and shiny it practically doubles as a mirror. Whether it’s silver, gold, or bold shades like metallic pinks and greens, chrome nails bring a high-shine vibe that feels straight out of a sci-fi movie.
3D Designs That Pop
Metal Manis aren’t just about a shiny surface— they’re about dimension, too. Nail artists are creating jaw-dropping 3D effects, like raised chrome swirls, metallic droplets, and even sculpted designs that look like liquid metal frozen in time. These designs practically scream art gallery for your hands.
Want something extra?
Try pairing metallic textures with gemstones, studs, or even tiny chains for a look that’s completely unique. Honestly,
think of it as jewelry, but for your nails.
How to Rock the Trend
Getting the perfect Metal Mani takes a little help from the pros. While some chrome polishes are available for at-home use, the most striking effects—like mirrored finishes and 3D designs— are best left to a nail tech. They’ll use special chrome powders, gels, and topcoats to create a flawless metallic finish that lasts.
Metal Manis are where edge meets elegance, making them the perfect choice for anyone looking to make a statement. Whether you’re going full-on futuristic with liquid chrome or playing it cool with metallic accents, this trend guarantees your nails will shine brighter than ever. Ready to step into the spotlight? With Metal Manis, you’ll be unstoppable.
Mixed Metals
Who says you have to stick to one shade? One of the coolest takes on the Metal Mani trend is mixing metallic tones for a multidimensional look. Think gold and silver working together on the same nail, or paired with a smoky gunmetal gray. This combo not only adds depth but also creates a unique, high-end vibe that feels effortlessly chic. For an even bolder twist, try ombré chrome nails that fade from one metallic hue to another. Or go wild with alternating nail col ors—imagine a bronze-to-copper gradi ent or silver nails with gold foil accents. Mixed metals are all about pushing boundaries and embracing your inner trendsetter.
What’s amazing about Metal Manis is how versatile they are. While they’ve
The Science of Skincare
Gone are the days of one-size-fits-all products. Skincare is now as personalized as ever, with brands using AI technology, DNA testing, and skin-mapping tools to recommend products tailored to your unique skin type, concerns, and goals. Active ingredients like retinol, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide are no longer just buzzwords—they’re staples in achieving targeted results, from smoothing fine lines to banishing breakouts.
On top of that, we’re seeing
breakthroughs in delivery systems that make these ingredients work better than ever. Think encapsulated formulas that release actives slowly over time or waterless serums that are more potent and eco-friendly. The science is constantly evolving, making our skincare routines more effective than ever.
Another major shift? The rise of sustainable skincare. As beauty lovers become more conscious of the planet, brands are answering the call with refillable packaging, biodegradable formulas, and ethically sourced ingredients. Waterless skincare is leading the charge, focusing on concentrated products like solid bars and powders that activate with water at home, cutting down on waste and carbon footprints.
Even big players in the industry are rethinking their approach, swapping traditional preservatives and synthetic additives for cleaner, greener alternatives. Skincare innovation isn’t just about performance anymore—it’s about taking care of both your skin and the planet.
Skin Deep
Skincare has come a long way from the basic moisturizers and cold creams of the past. Today, it’s not just about keeping your skin hydrated—it’s about science, personalization, and achieving that radiant, healthy glow we all dream of. The skincare industry has become a playground for innovation, merging cutting-edge technology with ancient rituals to create products that meet every skin need imaginable.
VATION High-Tech Meets
At-Home
Skincare tools have officially gone high-tech. Devices like LED masks, microcurrent wands, and ultrasonic scrubbers are bringing dermatologist-grade treatments straight to your bathroom counter. These gadgets promise everything from boosting collagen production to clearing clogged pores—all without the trip to a spa. We’re also seeing apps that analyze your skin, track your progress, and even sync with your smart devices to create customized reminders for your routine. It’s never been easier—or more fun—to treat yourself like a VIP in your very own at-home spa. From ingredient transparency to next-gen tools, skincare is constantly reinventing itself, and we’re all here for it. It’s no longer just about “fixing” skin concerns—it’s about celebrating your skin in every form and investing in products that make you feel your best. With the pace of innovation showing no signs of slowing down, we can’t wait to see what’s next in this skin-obsessed world. One thing’s for sure: the future of skincare is looking bright—and so is your complexion.
The Rise of Skin Cycling
One of the biggest trends reshaping skincare routines is skin cycling. This method, rooted in giving your skin time to rest and recharge, involves alternating active ingredients like exfoliants and retinoids with recovery nights of hydration and soothing treatments. Dermatologists swear by its ability to reduce irritation and maximize results, making it a game-changer for anyone with sensitive skin or those new to actives. Biotechnology is taking the skincare world by storm. Lab-grown ingredients, like plant stem cells and synthetic peptides, are offering sustainable alternatives to traditional harvesting methods while delivering incredible efficacy. From creating collagen boosters to replicating rare botanicals without depleting natural resources, biotech is redefining what’s possible in skincare—and giving us even more reasons to geek out over our routines.
Mastering the Art
Ever wondered if you’re applying your products in the right order? Skincare is all about building layers for maximum effectiveness. Start with a cleanser to create the perfect base, sweeping away dirt, oil, and makeup. Next, reach for a toner (applied with a cotton pad) to balance your skin’s pH and prep it to absorb all the goodness coming next. After toning, it’s time for serums—the powerhouse products packed with concentrated ingredients to target specific concerns. Finally, seal it all in with a moisturizer to hydrate and protect your skin. Don’t forget a weekly mask for an extra boost tailored to your skin’s needs.
Ingredient Science

Understanding your ingredients is the secret sauce to achieving glowing skin. Niacinamide (a form of Vitamin B3) is a multitasking pro, reducing redness, balancing oil, and brightening dull skin. Then there’s hyaluronic acid, your ultimate hydration hero, which plumps and smooths by holding 1,000 times its weight in water. For anti-aging, retinol is your go-to—it increases cell turnover to improve texture and fade fine lines. The key is to choose ingredients based on your specific concerns and layer them correctly for the ultimate glow-up.
Layering products is just half the battle—when and how you use them makes all the difference. For example, hyaluronic acid is perfect after toner and before moisturizer because it locks in hydration. Meanwhile, retinol is best reserved for nighttime use to avoid sensitivity from sun exposure. And when it comes to serums, think “thinnest to thickest”—lighter, water-based serums go on first, followed by thicker, oil-based products. Learning to layer like a pro ensures that every product does its job, so you wake up with skin that feels as good as it looks.
how do i layer my skincare properly?
Let’s face it—when it comes to skincare, piling on 10 products doesn’t always mean better results. Your skin can only absorb so much, so being selective about what you use is crucial. Stick to a cleanser, toner, serum, and moisturizer as your core routine. Masks and exfoliants are like your bonus rounds—amazing for a glow-up but don’t overdo it. Layer intentionally, focusing on your skin’s specific needs rather than trends, and let your products work their magic without overwhelming your skin.
Less Is More Layering Myths Debunked
We’ve all heard the rules: always layer from thinnest to thickest, or never mix certain ingredients. But the truth? It’s not always that black and white. For example, some say retinol and niacinamide don’t play well together, but in reality, they can be layered as long as you’re not overloading your skin. And while toner is a must for some, it’s optional for others with minimal skincare concerns. The real secret? Experiment and listen to your skin—what works for one person might not be ideal for you.
