Fall Into these 7 Autumn Beauty Trends

Fall is here which means spooky season, pumpkin everything, cozy sweaters, and new beauty trends. Whether you’re a makeup professional or just dabbling here and there, there are some trends you need to try.

1. Natural Base Makeup

What is base makeup, you may ask? Think whatever you usually put on first: foundation, concealer, setting powder… The things that are the base of your makeup. This season, natural is in. For my people who may not feel like they can go natural (hello, acne-prone skin), there are ways to make your full-coverage makeup look natural so it looks like you’re not wearing a dang thing.

2. Cream Everything

Cream makeup users rejoice! Cream products are back in. With today’s market, no matter your skin type, you’ll be able to find cream products that work for you. Here are some foundations you can try based on your coverage preference:

  • Light coverage: it Cosmetics CC cream+ – think tinted moisturizer (usually with SPF)
  • Light-to-medium coverage: Maybelline New York Dream Fresh BB cream – barely there, buildable coverage
  • Medium coverage: NARS Sheer Glow Foundation – easily buildable coverage
  • Heavy coverage: e.l.f. Flawless Finish Foundation – fewer applications necessary

3. Soft-Lined Eyeliner

In the past, we’ve seen one trend for eyeliner be harsh, precise lines. This season, one eyeliner trend is softer application. What does this mean? Grab a q-tip and smudge those lines. For those with unsteady hands, this trend is made for you.

4. Burnt Blush

In the past, bubblegum blush was in. Bonus points if it had shimmer. For this fall, trade that bright pink for a darker, richer, red-ish pink. Think dark roses and brown-based colors. With these shades, you won’t need much, but just as darker-colored clothes come into play for the fall months, so should your blush.

5. Silver Inner Corners

There are a few great things about this trend. One: it takes virtually no time. Two: it looks like it took you waaaay longer than it did to do your makeup. Three: it will make you look more awake. Those are all worth-it things in my book. Makeup stores sell individual shades of grey, as well as cream or liquid forms you can dab in the corners of your eyes.

6. Goth/Smokey Makeup

I have been doing all-around black eyeliner since I first picked up a makeup product in middle school, and I know there are others who have, as well. For those of us, our trend is back! Goth makeup is back in. Think dark shadows, liners, lip colors, and anything else you can find in black, dark purple, or whatever other dark color that makes your little dark heart happy.

7. Glass Lips

Gloss is back in! This may not make it easy when it’s windy – I suggest investing in a claw clip for those days you want that glossy, glassy, mirror-like look. With just about every makeup brand that’s out there, you can find a glossy lip color, whether that’s colored, clear, or sparkly.

Fall is upon us whether we’re ready or not. Grab some friends and plenty of PSLs and hit up your local makeup store to stock up on products for autumn 2022.

5 Tips To Save Your Skin This Summer

Summer is the time of sunshine, warm weather, and swimming. However, it’s also the time of sunburn, sweat, and chlorine.

If you’re anything like me, you live for the few months of summer when you can wear tank tops, bask in the sun, and have days by the water. However, as a makeup artist and skincare enthusiast, I know that summer is one of the most brutal times for your skin. But, there are things you can do to save the skin you’re in, while still enjoying the dog days of summer.

1. Use Sunscreen

If you take nothing else from this article, take this: USE. SUNSCREEN. It is estimated that one in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime. That’s a pretty big chance of something that I’m sure none of us want to develop. Thankfully, skincare brands and even sunscreen brands are all over it. An example is Spot My UV detection stickers which tell you when it is time to reapply sunscreen.

It’s hard to find a skincare product that doesn’t already have SPF in it, including primers, moisturizers, lotions, foundations, etc. In my opinion, that’s worth spending a few extra dollars on so that you can “set it and forget it.” However, if you are looking for just a sunscreen instead of a makeup product, Neutrogena created products that are safe for your skin – including a specifically breakout-free sunscreen lotion for us who have acne-prone skin. Trust me – if you can do something so simple to help protect yourself from something so serious, do it.

2. Moisturize

A common misconception of skincare is that if you’re producing oil on your skin (specifically your face), you don’t need moisturizer. Let me squash that lie right now. If you have oily skin, that means your body doesn’t produce enough moisture so it’s working overtime to develop what you don’t have enough of. Using a moisturizer will save your skin – yes, even in sweaty weather. Honestly, especially in sweaty weather.

Moisturizer should be a part of everyone’s skincare routine, no matter their skin type. This is especially true when you’re skin may be taking in some extra sunshine. To keep your skin in check, moisturize at least once a day – right after you wash your face. For my makeup-wearing people, this should be twice a day: once in the morning and once at night after you take your makeup off.

3. Cooling Spray

I live in the south which means brutal heat and humidity. Hello 100° weather, hello sweat… The elephant in the room that no one wants to talk about. But I have news for you: everyone sweats. However, that doesn’t mean you have to really suffer through it. Let’s all thank the skincare gods that they’ve come up with an easy fix.

I’ve always been an advocate for Mario Badescu products. Although some may be a little pricey, I have yet to encounter one that doesn’t do what it says. Their facial refreshing sprays are no different. Like a good skincare brand should do, they’ve produced several different sprays for different skin types and skin concerns:

  1. Aloe, herbs, and rose water
  2. Aloe, cucumber, and green tea
  3. Aloe, chamomile, and lavender
  4. Aloe, sage, and orange blossom

All with stellar reviews, these sprays may just be the cooling sensation you need in the dead heat and humidity of summer.

4. Check the UV Index

The Ultraviolet Index (UV index) is a measurement created in the 90s used to find the strength of sunburn-producing ultraviolet radiation. Don’t let the word radiation scare you. In simpler (and less scary) terms, it’s the unit of measurement to see how intense the sun’s rays are. The scale is color-coded and number-coded and goes from 1-11+. The lower the number, the lower the exposure.

The lower the number, the “safer” it is to be out in the sun since there’s less sun exposure. Before you go out and tan, check your local UV index to see how long you can safely spend outside, what the recommended SPF is, etc.

5. Hydrate

Let’s be honest, we all should probably be doing this a lot more than we currently do. However, this is especially pertinent in the summertime. Drinking water is said to help clear up your skin – and trust me, it really does. Especially if you use sunscreen you don’t normally use, water is essential to keep your skin in tip-top shape.

Hydration is also essential when it comes to combatting heatstroke or other side effects caused by sun exposure. Of course, other help for heatstroke is cold water exposure (pools, ice baths, cold showers), rest, a colder environment… It may take away from your sun time, but it’s worth it to keep your body’s equilibrium in check.

Summertime can be relaxing, fun, exciting, and anything else you want it to be. In using these five tips, you can help to make sure your skin has the same amount of fun you do.

7 Ways to Have a Healthy Long-Distance Relationship

Does distance really make the heart grow fonder? Even though it may suck, it’s not impossible.

I’ve been in a long-distance relationship for several months now, with my boyfriend living between New York and California, and me living in Tennessee. Seeing as though he and I have a shared love language of physical touch, distance hasn’t been the easiest thing (which is putting it lightly). But there are things that we’ve done, and you can do, too, to make it a little more bearable.

1. Make a Schedule

One of the things that my boyfriend and I have done is figure out what each of our schedules looks like separately before making one together. Since his work schedule is a little more unpredictable than mine, I plug in the days he’s working into my schedule so that I can look and see when we both can be free at the same time. This also helps when you have other things to do such as errands, cooking, hobbies, etc., and you’re looking for a way to best utilize your time.

2. Communicate

Since you won’t be in the same place as your significant other, communicating is the most important thing you can do to make sure your relationship thrives. This goes for close-distance relationships, too! If there are things you don’t like, communicate that. If there are things that really work, communicate that, too. In doing so, you’ll see your relationship flourish even more.

3. Set Aside a Certain Amount of Time to Talk

Once you’re aware of each other’s schedules, try and designate certain times to spend time together – whether that’s over FaceTime, a phone call, or anything else. Putting effort into your relationship doesn’t mean you have to be in the same place as them, it just means that you actively try and spend time with your significant other in one way or another.

4. Have Virtual Dates

There are ways you can have virtual dates that are just as good as in-person dates. Set aside time for a FaceTime movie night, tune into the same live stream for a concert or comedy show, play video games together, make dinner at the same time… It really comes down to having some sort of bonding experience, even from far away.

5. Take Time For Yourself

Just like in any relationship, time alone is healthy. Making sure you set time to unwind by yourself is something that will make your time spent together as a couple stronger. When you take time for yourself, not only are you making yourself healthy, but that, in turn, will help the health of your relationship.

6. Flirt With Each Other

Just because you’re long-distance doesn’t mean you can’t still flirt with your significant other! One of the best ways to keep your romance alive is by showing your attraction to your partner in one way or another. Although you’re not there to do it in person, flirting over the phone or via text is still possible and an important aspect of a healthy relationship.

7. Talk About Your Goals

Actively talking to your significant other about goals in your relationship will help keep the purpose of your relationship at the center. Before even dating, discuss what you want your relationship to look like. Are you aiming for marriage? Something casual? Not really sure? The best way to navigate is to have those “define the relationship” conversations.

Being in a long-distance relationship may be challenging, but not impossible when they’re with the right person. The key is to communicate, and never stop communicating with your partner. If you feel a little lost in your long-distance relationship, there are other people out there who feel the same! But, by following these seven tips, you might find your relationship will become stronger than ever.

10 New Makeup Trends and Products to Try for Spring 2022

Y2K is back (kinda).

2021 focused mainly on 80s and 90s makeup, while the spring of 2022 will bring out trends from Y2K. Thankfully, you may be able to recycle some of the products you used and incorporate them in these new looks.

1. Pinks

2021 mainly focused on cool tones such as blues, greys, and purples. For this season, pink is in. This could mean eyeshadow, eyeliner, bright lips, and everything in between. Kylie Cosmetics has introduced a Valentine’s Day collection that will exceed your wildest pink fantasies.

2. Heavy Blush

Last season, draped blush was in. What is draped blush, you may ask? It’s all in the placement. In short, draped blush is applied where contour is usually applied – a little lower than the apple of your cheekbones. This season, take it to the next level, and don’t be scared to apply a little extra! FENTY BEAUTY (shout out to Rihanna) released a new collection of vibrant blushes that will be perfect for this look.

3. Glossy Lips

In line with Y2K fashion, glossy lips will be making a comeback. Not only that, e.l.f. Cosmetics just launched a Dunkin’ Donuts collab that features two new gloss colors. The shades are simply labeled Dunkin’ Orange and Dunkin’ Pink to follow the iconic colors of the coffee and donut shop franchise.

4. Color Coordination

This season, try and purchase some clothes that match the color of your makeup. If you can, try and get an eyeshadow palette that has at least one pan of every color, that way you’ll have each one right at the tip of your fingers. Juvia’s Place just released a new 30-color shadow palette with both matte and shimmer options that are bound to match up with the main color in whatever outfit you’re wearing.

5. Neon Liners

Using neon eyeliner is hands-down one of the easiest ways to make it look like you spent way longer on your makeup than you actually did. Morphe’s Lucky Charms collab has a 6-color set of vibrant liners that will bring a pop of color to your eyes in just a few seconds.

6. Double Winged Liner

If you’re lucky enough to have a steady hand when it comes to applying winged liner, this trend is for you. If not, this would be a great time to learn! Give it a go with the new Benefit Cosmetics precision waterproof liquid eyeliner. For examples of double-winged eyeliner, Pinterest is a great place to look, as well as YouTube for tutorials.

7. Thin/Light Eyebrows

If there’s one thing makeup lovers know, it’s that eyebrow trends come and go in the blink of an eye. Recent trends included fluffy brows, natural brows, thick brows… And now, thin brows are back (think younger Christina Aguilera on the red carpet). If you decide to go with this trend, just know that it does take a fairly long time for brows to grow back to their natural shape. However, if you do want to participate, FLOWER Beauty has introduced a new brow pencil with a thin tip that will give you that precision needed for thin brows.

8. Popping Inner Corner

This may be one of the easiest (and quickest) trends to do. To get that wide-awake, ready-for-the-day look, a light highlighter or light silver eyeshadow will be your best bet. To achieve the look, I would recommend ColourPop’s Super Shock Highlight in shade Monster.

9. Under Eye Placement

This trend is perfect for a night on the town. If you’re looking for a wow factor, this is the way to do it. There’s a look called the reverse cat eye which is exactly what it sounds like – you do your winged eyeliner under your eye instead of on your eyelid. Remember, you don’t have to make it as thick – you only need a thin line. KIKO Milano has a khol liner with a fine tip for those thinner lines you’ll need.

10. Face Gems

If you’re really looking to branch out, this trend is for you. However, this won’t work with any gems you find – make sure you grab ones that are specific for your face or body. Benefit Cosmetics sells face and body gems that will fit any look you’re going for.

Makeup trends come and go quickly – that’s what makes them fun. If you’re ready to jump into the looks, you can also Google “Y2K fashion and makeup” and really see how Y2K affected the beauty world.

13 Must-Do Things in Nashville

Activities that DON’T include pedal taverns on Broadway. If you know, you know.

Since moving to Nashville a year and a half ago, I’ve fallen in love with the city and everything in it. Between the live music, gorgeous nature, and rich history, the area has quickly become one of my favorite places.

With that being said, there are some must-do things in Nashville that don’t necessarily involve being on Broadway until 3 a.m.

1. Get a Drink at the Patterson House

Middle Tennessee has a few speakeasies that people can go to – one of them being right in the heart of Nashville. This bar is concealed in a house-looking building and the actual bar is behind a big, red, velvet curtain. If you can, make reservations beforehand, as the place is fairly small and very popular. There are specific unique drinks on their extensive menu, but the bartenders will also make drinks according to flavors that you like.

2. Visit Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash’s Gravesites

Although technically in Hendersonville, TN, country legend Johnny Cash and his wife, June Carter Cash, were buried in the place where country music came to life. The Hendersonville Memory Gardens is roughly 30 minutes from the heart of Nashville, so a trip to this iconic place can be done easily.

3. Check out The Parthenon

Nashville has been named “Athens of the South” mainly due to its higher-education universities and colleges such as Belmont University, Lipscomb University, Tennessee State University, Vanderbilt University, and more – not to mention more that branch out throughout Middle Tennessee. Another reason Nashville has the “Athens of the South” title is because of the replica of the Parthenon built in Nashville in 1897 as a part of the Centennial Exposition. The Parthenon is still open today in Centennial Park as an art attraction.

4. Take a Ghost Tour

Did you know that Nashville is supposedly the home for ghosts? The old buildings downtown have spooky legends tied to them. A good number of older buildings were originally built as brothels in the middle-to-late 1800s. Legend has it that ghosts of the people who worked there and visited there are stuck in some of the rooms after they committed suicide. The Battle of Nashville also took place in what is now downtown, and ghosts of soldiers are said to roam the streets, as well.

5. See Music Row

Music Row is the place where artists go to record their music. It is unassuming and a little surprising because most of the studios are in houses in a neighborhood-type feel. However, don’t underestimate the fame that the studios hold. Some places have recorded artists as big as Elvis Presley, Dolly Parton, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Tim McGraw, Carrie Underwood, and many more.

6. Drive Through Celeb Neighborhoods

Since famous music artists record in Nashville, that means a lot of them live in Nashville, as well. Although not necessarily in the heart of the city, celebrities are scattered through close towns such as Brentwood and Franklin. Some celebrities that do live either in Nashville or near Nashville include Reba McEntire, Reese Witherspoon, Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman, Kelly Clarkson, Taylor Swift, and more.

7. Have Fun at the Gaylord Opryland Resort

This activity is mainly something to do in the winter, as the Gaylord Opryland Resort turns the inside of the building into a massive winter wonderland. There are nine acres of indoor gardens, waterfalls, and rivers with water from all over the world. During the winter, the resort has events such as ice skating, a light show, ice bumper cars, and many more fun family-friendly activities.

8. Visit Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage

Andrew Jackson, the seventh president of the United States and infamous Nashville-dweller, had a home right in Nashville that is still open for the public to tour. There is wine tasting, trivia, tours, and other events and activities that people can experience.

9. Go to the Country Music Hall of Fame

The Country Music Hall of Fame is one of the most well-known attractions in Nashville. In it, you’ll find priceless artifacts such as Elvis’ Cadillac, artifacts from other well-known country artists, and awards won by other artists. There is also an exhibit just on Kacey Musgraves and her career starting from when she was a child. You can also see that the windows in the museum form the pattern of piano keys.

10. Check out the Nashville Zoo

The Nashville Zoo is filled with fun exhibits, activities, and other experiences. In addition to seeing animals such as the Alligator Snapping Turtle, Sumatran Tiger, Rhinoceros Hornbill, and Goliath Bird-Eating Tarantula, you can also walk through a life-size animatronic dinosaur display, go on a zipline, and more.

11. See Art at the Frist Art Museum

Different pieces of art and collections come and go through the Frist Art Museum, but one famous collection that was on display last year was the legendary work of Picasso. Recent collections, as of early 2022, include works from Nashville-based artist, LeXander Bryan, as well as Contemporary Cuban art from the Pérez Art Museum Miami.

12. Go on a Pub Crawl/Walking Tour

There are a lot of pub crawls and walking tours that you can go on in Nashville including the Night-Time Nashville Pub Crawl, Legends of Music City Walking Tour, Nashville’s Craft Brewery Tour and Distillery Experience, and the Nashville Ghost Tour Pub Crawl. What better way to experience Nashville than taking a tour with some drinks?

13. Go to Happy Hour at White Limozeen

Dolly Parton‘s famous hotel, the Graduate Hotel, has a unique rooftop bar that is a must-see. Everything is pink, girly, and everything you would ever imagine Dolly would create. The bar serves cocktails and food and has a balcony that overlooks the city – with a very large plastic statue of Dolly’s face.

Nashville is one of the coolest, most unique places you can visit – especially if you’re a country music fan. If you’re planning a trip, see how many of these attractions you can visit. Have fun!
