With so many skincare products on the market and technology in the space growing at unheard of levels, it can be hard to keep up. Knowing what ingredients do what and which will be best for you requires a lot of research and some trial and error. Today we are going to give you a breakdown of the latest in skincare advances, to help you decipher what's out there before you spend your money.
I've been noticing a makeup moment happening lately especially on some of the more mature celebrities out there- where cheeks are glistening with a wet-look finish. This style is wonderful for more mature skin because it helps diffuse texture, and avoids a powdery finish which can sit heavy on the skin. The light reflecting quality looks hydrated and healthy as well as helps to add a lifted look to your cheeks. Let me show you how!
Season 19 of Studio 5 has kicked off- and it’s my 11th season on the show! Hard to believe…but I am always so grateful to have had this experience in my life. We kicked off with a LIVE studio audience, which is always such a treat. The women who watch our show are honestly so supportive and the community is next to none.
Casey and I got to team up for a Fall Trend segment, and it was such a blast. We each shared our top picks for Fall beauty and fashion trends that we are looking forward to the most, take a peek.
Back to school means rushed early mornings for teens... so a routine that is quick and efficient is critical. But teens also want the latest in trendy products too... so today I've Compiled a list with the help of my own teens and their friends of back to school beauty must haves that check all the boxes.
One of my goals, and favorite parts of my job is to 'snoop' out and investigate big claims by beauty brands about their products... I have three products today that we are going to live test on the air for the first time to find out... does it work?!
I am so excited about the 2024 Pantone Color of the Year: ‘Peach Fuzz’
It is a color that signifies calm, warmth, femininity and gentleness. All of which I find so in line with the mood and goals so many of us have moving into the New Year.
Peach Fuzz also plays perfectly with so many makeup tones we already use and love and it's a tone that works on every skin tone beautifully. Try pairing it with shades of mauve, brown, beige and cream for an overall warmth and softness.
Who isn't looking for a brighter complexion? And with the help of some color theory and proper application, Brightening Powders just may be the thing you didn't know you needed!
Brightening powders are different then traditional translucent setting powders because they use color theory to enhance your natural skin tone and lighten underlying discoloration. They also often contain reflecting minerals to help bounce light off of the surface of the skin, for an overall brighter appearance.
Latte Makeup is a buzzing trend that made waves this Summer, but it is here to stay for Fall and it's the perfect time to try this look as the weather cools down.
What is Latte Makeup? It's a monochromatic look using shades of deep browns all the way up through caramel and cream. The key here is to cancel out shades of pink or red, and to keep everything harmonious, bronzy and brown toned.
They don’t call me the Beauty SNOOP for nothing! I just love to investigate new and unique (sometimes even a little weird!) products, and bring my results to you… Today I’ve got a round up of some of my top picks currently, and I think you’ll enjoy them too.
Like all things old that become new again, there's an uptick of one 90's beauty staple making its return to the mainstage: White Eyeliner! And yes, it's the young 20-somethings who are discovering it for the first time that are making this trend go viral... but for those of us who wore it the first time around (who are very much past our 20's!) the technique is still grounded in a solid principle- that bright colors reflect more light!
There's a new buzzword floating around the beauty world... it's called 'Hair Botox' and although that might conjure images of needles and injections into your mind, it's actually much less invasive. Hair Botox isn't a specific brand, but rather an umbrella term to describe an in-salon treatment for the hair that has similar anti-aging and smoothing results as you would get with botox.
Every year we get a sneak peek at what trend forecasters foresee ahead in terms of the colors that will make their way into our home decor, clothing, and yes MAKEUP. When the Pantone Universe releases the Color of the Year, I always wait on pins and needles to see if it is a color that will be big in the beauty world. And 2023 did not disappoint! Viva Magenta is a bold yet approachable color for makeup, and it works equally well on cool toned and warm toned skin. Here are 5 ways you can introduce it into you beauty bag this year.
The Winter season gives us a few excuses to get a little glammed up and to really take more time to polish up our look... think cozy dinners, family parties, and lots of reasons to celebrate. I've got three trending beauty ideas that are perfect for these special occasions...
Fall 2022 is all about the BOTTLENECK bangs, the sassy younger sister of the CURTAIN BANG we’ve been loving over the last couple years. The Bottleneck bang features a shorter fringe through the center of the forehead that then disconnected into a curtain on either side of the eyes and cheekbones. But is this trend right for you and your particular face shape? This is a question every women should ask themselves before a haircut. So let’s break down my guide for finding the perfect cut based on your face shape.
'Skin Care Cycling' is a term coined by Dr. Whitney Bowe, a well-known dermatologist, and recently her theory of Skin Cycling has gone viral on Tik Tok.
Skin cycling takes the guesswork out of when and how to use your skincare, and gives a simple pattern to follow for better results from our skincare.
Lately I have been noticing more and more mascara brands are creating formulas in a true brown tone- this piqued my interest and took me down the rabbit whole of color theory, and the concept that warm hues are far more flattering on almost every skin tone.
We are just so conditioned to use black in our eye makeup because that is what marketing has told us is the desired goal. But for so many women especially redheads and blondes, black is actually less effective. And even for those women blessed with truly black lashes, layering on a warmer brown brings more light to the eye area and gives a gorgeous result. [video here]
2022 is the year of ‘Very Peri’- a bold periwinkle color that Pantone has deemed as the tone you’ll be seeing everywhere from home decor, to clothing, and maybe even in your makeup routine. To be honest this is one of my personal favorite colors to wear, but I know not everyone loves a purple moment. So if you’re not sure, that’s ok too… give it a month or two to grow on you and then decide. ;) Here are a few ways I’ll be wearing the color if you do want to take the purple plunge. [video here]
Crisp cool air is rolling in and with that comes the desire to layer on our chicest Fall Trench Coat and leather booties... but it's not just your fashion that can transition into cool weather style- your beauty routine can level up this time of year as well. Perfect for Fall outings, family photos or even an upcoming Holiday party; here are a few ways you can get cool-weather-chic. [video here]
Fall is just around the corner and with temps cooling down and fashion layering up, it's the perfect time to make a few updates to your Makeup routine as well. I've scoured the latest red carpets and photoshoots from celebs around the globe, and these are the three trends I am most excited about- plus they don't take major investments or skills to master! Dare I say, it’s the return of the FROSTY eye shadow?!
The science of shampoo has come a long way in recent years- and gone are the days where we are just 'cleansing' our hair in the shower. Haircare brands are investing millions of dollars and years of time into research and development, searching for solutions to heal damaged hair at the very core on a molecular level.
These professional treatments paired with at home products can undo damage to the structural bonds deep inside our hair from heat and chemicals- a process that has never before been possible.
Summer is in full swing and with that comes a shift to brighter bolder lip color, especially after a year of mask wearing... it just seems so much more exciting to put on a lip color each day.
But what colors are really trending this year, and how can you pair them with your eyes for a pulled together look? Here are my fav combos you can try!
