New Year’s Eve is a time for celebration—looking forward to the year to come, clinking your friends’ champagne flutes, and even kissing a special (or entirely random) person at the stroke of midnight. It’s also for glitter makeup. Right? What other time calls more for a shimmering, glinty, frosted eye, …

I chose the first look as an homage to the brand’s ethos—makeup that lets your skin look like skin. I wanted a dewy, glowy, fresh-looking face and not much else. I started with the Stretch Concealer ($18). I mixed together the light and medium shades and buffed it on with a Beautyblender only …

I’m the first to admit that my daily makeup routine tends to veer toward the “no-makeup” makeup look, which consists of minimal foundation and blush and certainly no eyeliner or lipstick. Blame it on laziness or poor time management from hitting that snooze button, but my daily routine is certainly …

Every once in a while, a talent comes along so special, the world takes notice. Such is the case with Hung Vanngo, a celebrity-loved makeup artist whose work is both prolific and undoubtedly intricate.
