There appears to be a $50 one that the Beverly Hills salon (which, as someone who just tweezes my own brows while squinting into a tiny mirror seems bananas to me, but whatever, I recently spent $8 on creme brulee Kit Kats), which is the most pricey, BUT you can get a $350 oxygen thingy facial if you feel like getting… Read more

Excellent! I mean, there’s the classic bright red lip Ingrid Bergman-esque look, but the 1940s also had a lot of pinks and pastels and shimmery things so there’s a lot that can be done there (although really I could just sum up 1940s makeup really quickly by going, “QUICK PUT SOME LIPSTICK ON IN SOME VARIATION OF RED… Read more

Yeah, I mean, obviously brows are something that are not one-size-fits-all, but the crazy super thin line is one of the more unforgiving trends. There are a few people who can pull it off, but brows are like booze: Best enjoyed in moderate amounts until you just sort of lose control and then WHOA what happened here oh… Read more

1960s will be soon! First 1940s/50s (SPOILER ALERT: A lot more pastels were involved than people care to think) and then into the super fun crazy liner and white lipstick and bonkers looks of the 1960s. I’m excited to get further into the later years because there becomes way less of a super general “everyone is… Read more

At that point you might as well just burn down the house and start again (NOTE: I am saying this as someone who owned a dog that - during her 16 years of life - ate an entire box of Oreos, an entire bag of milk chocolate chips, a bag of chocolate easter eggs, a part of a wedding case base on the day of the wedding… Read more

I know that this piece is very centered on the most common and general trends in North America/Western Europe in the 1900s/1920s and I plan to go more into trends within different groups during these periods (along with some more general info in the pieces covering entire decades, along with looking at trends and… Read more

You could always just use this magical thing:

I'm glad you liked it! And yeah, my day-to-day liquid liner is MAC LiquidLast and every once in awhile I'm like "phhfftt, whatever, I can open my eyes all the way now" and immediately smear it all over my upper eyelids, at which point it immediately dries because life is cruel in tiny, annoying ways sometimes.

An incorrect version of fish like eyes:

Yeah, it's definitely a very Western-heavy piece, but I do want to look at historical trends in places outside of North America/Western Europe as there is some fantastic stuff out there (as you posted above, definitely some things I need to research more and write about). Your…

Thanks! I love any chance I get to yammer on and on and ON AND ON AND OH MY GOD IT WON'T STOP about makeup (especially makeup history, seeing as there is just all kinds of weird stuff mixed in there). Read more

Also fun: Really weird activities. I went axe-throwing for my bachelorette (bitchlorette) and it was amazing (they also let you bring beer and wine as long as there was no glass). Stupid activities that also involve booze (if you're into that) can be a blast, especially if there's a small learning curve and everyone… Read more

I missed the original post, but I wore a pair of black leather flats for my wedding two years ago (because I'm super bad at heels and like hell am I going to teeter around for seven hours while trying my best to get discretely drunk) and the best thing about them was the entire toe cap was COVERED in giant gold…

As the mid-afternoon sun began to wane into the bleary evening light, several Cardinals players tapped the dirt from their shoes and started warming up. Hamstrings taught, muscles starting to strain against the dusty white fabric of their uniform, the team began to prep for another game that would decide not only… Read more
