This Instagram Eyeshadow Trend Is Glamorous AF

We are firm believers in switching up our beauty routine depending on our mood. Sometimes we just can’t even, and a no-makeup makeup look fits the bill. Other times, we’re feeling the glam vibes and want to go all out, and what better way to take things up a notch than with glitter makeup? Glittery lids are the latest glam look to take over Instagram, and we are loving the modern take on a throwback trend (remember body glitter?). Shimmery lids can add dimension to an already fabulous look, and it makes one helluva statement on the dance floor. If you’re not 100% sold, take a gander at these Instababes, and see how you can sport the trend yourself this season.

1. Glitter Diva: A glittery shadow in a bold shade is the way to go when the rest of your makeup is on the minimal side. For a ’70s-esque look, pair with a shaggy coat and hoop earrings. (via @byrdiebeauty)

2. Sizzlin’ Sparkle: Alli’s pink pout may be preppy, but her eyes are decidedly sultry. Go heavy on the gold accessories for some added bling, and add romantic waves to bring the look full circle. (via @makeupbyalli)

3. Gray Glimmer: Keiko is owning the glitter trend with her ombré grey hue and fierce cat eye. Side-swept baby bangs and a kissable pink lip round out the perfect date-night look. (via @keikolynn)

4. Sunset Shimmer: Victoria looks Miami Beach-ready in this sun-kissed makeup look. Wear a nude lip to keep the focus on your peepers, or go bold and sport a purple pout for an extra glam effect. (via @jaclynhill)

5. Purple for Days: Highly pigmented, shimmery lids, a la this beauty maven, will surely make you feel like a pop princess. Match it with a plum-colored lip and va-va-voom curls for major drama. (via @kkimthai)

6. RadiantRainbow:Don’t settle for just one color — try ’em all with this high-impact effect. If you’re really feeling bold, wear it with minimal duds and rock it as a daytime look. (via @lindahallbergs)

7. Golden Girl: Rock this look for instant It-girl status. Complement rose-gold lids with an expertly lined lip and statement brows, and you’re good to go. (via @katenolan_mua)

8. Trending Trifecta: Analese really knows how to make an impact (read: on-point shimmer lids, plumped-up lashes, strong brow game). Her barely there lips balance the look perfectly, while dainty studs add an extra touch of sparkle. (via @annybeeutee)

9. Hint of Color: It’s hard not to fall in love with Mariah’s unique eye makeup. A hint of color on the waterline is the perfect complement to her metallic lids and glossy lips. (via @thegalsguide)

10. Gold Rush: Bold gold is the name of the game for Mirella. Commit to a single statement hue for look-at-me lids, and wear with basic black to keep your look reined in. Or throw caution to the wind and pair with a pop-of-color frock for a fancy spring event — you do you, girl. (via @mirellabelle)

Summer is quickly approaching and you know what that means...so is wedding season! Spring and summer can tend to be jam-packed with wedding events, celebrations, and ceremonies. And if you're anything like us, you might be looking for some new makeup looks to try out for all of the seemingly endless occasions where we wanna look our best, but somehow manage to sweat off our hard work before the photographer even takes the first picture. Well, we asked the experts for their best tips for long-lasting coverage, but their favorite looks to try out — because nobody needs to look back at a wedding picture and wonder how they could have kept their mascara on better! Here's are four amazing expert tips for the best wedding guest makeup, plus a simple look to try yourself!

Tips For The Best Wedding Guest Makeup

1. Prep Your Skin

Skin prep is the #1 key to not only getting dewy looking makeup, but long-lasting makeup that doesn't crease! We asked the experts atDr. Hauschka what they would do for long lasting makeup, and they said, "Moisturized skin is glowing skin. Always prep face and with rich emollient moisturizers (like our certified natural Rose Day Cream). Your makeup will easily glide over face and blend with your moisturizer for a glowy finish." IMO, this tip is absolute gold because you don't want your skin to dry or cake over throughout the day, and it seems like this will really help with that!

They also said, "If you want your complexion to look naturally sun-kissed, look to bronzers you can blend with your foundation or moisturizer. (Mixing a few drops our Translucent Bronzing Tint with your moisturizer provides a subtle sun-kissed glow without shimmers.)" Talk about a glow! We love this dewy tip and have PLENTY of moisturizers, both tinted and otherwise, to recommend!

2. Opt For Simple

Next, you definitely want to opt for a more simple look, makeup-wise! It's better to keep things minimal instead of doing too much with a bold lip and bold eye. Makeup artist and owner of The Green Room Agency, Nysa Green said, "Pick one feature to be the focus of your look, and concentrate on that. It can even be legs or shoulders. Tone down everything else." We love this trick because it's so simple to choose either a fun eye shade or lip color and have that be the focal point!

Nyssa also said, "Use a setting spray to keep everything in place through the festivities." Setting spray is the key to really lock in your makeup and ensure it lasts all day!

And Nyssa's final tip? "Avoid a red lip unless you want to stand out in all the pictures!"

3. Don't Upstage the Bride

When doing wedding guest makeup, you want to make sure not to over-do it because you never want to appear like you're trying to upstage the bride in any way. Celebrity makeup artist, Stephanie G-M gave us a tip on this matter and said, "I suggest going for a look that elevates what your day look may already be. Starting with either a bit of color on your lips as a stain or eyes with statement jewelry (like above) means you'll be looking elegant but not out shining the bride's look."

She added, "Dewy skin and a little more blush than usual will also brighten up the look you go for. I would suggest just balancing it and not doing a full eye look and full lip look for the wedding." Duly noted!

4. Don't Forget Touch Ups

Stephanie G-M also gave us all the tips and tricks for how you can quickly — and effectively — touch up your wedding guest makeup throughout the day. She says, "Carry blotting paper with you for any shine that may occur instead of powdering it away when you are trying to achieve a dewy look. Always have a balm you can use to enhance highlight areas. You can always use your lip color as your cheek color too as the day goes on!" She also added, "You can always carry an eye liner with you if you choose to make it more bold for the evening." We love these tips for essentials to keep in our clutch!

Put It All Together For This Gorgeous Natural Wedding Guest Makeup

Makeup artist, Yaz Roque has a great look that is a must-try when it comes to the perfect wedding guest makeup look. She said, "With wedding guest makeup it’s key to keep it simple. I love to give wedding guests neutral tones, with a little bit of a shimmer on the lids. My tip would be to switch out your harsh liquid liner with a more smoked out liner, soft glam on the skin, and a pinky mauve or nude on the lips. You can even finish with my favorite lip oil at the moment byBlossom Beauty, it’s natural, smells amazing, and gives the right amount of shine for a perfect pour. Plus it’s under $7.” We love a good lip oil! I can't wait to try this look out for an upcoming wedding! This look is super natural yet still overstated enough for fancier occasions like a wedding.

I love sappy, sweet-as-candy rom-coms. You know, the ones where two leads spend the entire movie pursuing other people only to realize they were in love with each other the whole time. The movie usually takes place in a big city or a small town (and sometimes both), there's a quirky best friend, and there's always a big declaration of love before the credits roll. And while these straightforward movies are always on my watchlist, I also love the wacky movies that involve hilarious misunderstandings, ridiculous fight scenes, and gravity-defying Dirty Dancing movies (yes, I'm talking about Emma Stone & Ryan Gosling'sCrazy Stupid Love here). Humor always makes a movie even more enjoyable to watch, and A Family Affair is as wacky as they come. The movie reunites Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron, who played opposite each other ten years ago, and this time, Joey King's added into the mix. Here's everything you need to know about the new summer movie.

What is the movie A Family Affair about?

Image via Netflix

Like any good rom com, A Family Affair is all about a surprising romance — just not the kind Zara might be hoping for. When her mother (Nicole Kidman) and her famous actor boss (Zac Efron) fall for each other, their newfound relationship complicates everyone's ideas of sex and identity, and Zara's entire life. And, just like you might expect when your boss and mother hook up, chaotic hilarity ensues.

When does A Family Affair come out?

You can watch A Family Affair on Netflix starting June 28.

Who's in the A Family Affair movie cast?

Image via Netflix

Joey King, Zac Efron, and Nicole Kidman lead this new rom-com, and they're joined by a few of our other favorite actors! A Family Affair also stars Liza Koshy and Kathy Bates.

What does A Family Affair mean?

Image via Netflix

A family affair refers to a situation that's connected to someone's family in one way or another. For me, being an adult has been all about establishing work-life balance, and I'm sure the same is true for Zara. I can't wait to see how this movie's unexpected romance turns everything upside down.

What else did Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron star in?

Image via Netflix

Before they were cast in A Family Affair, Zac Efron and Nicole Kidman played lovers in The Paperboy in 2012. Familiarity and comfort are two super important things in any romantic role, and I can already tell from these first look images that Zac and Nicole not only have awesome chemistry, but they're comfortable enough around each other to just have fun. And that's all we can ask for from a good movie!

It seems like TikTok introduces us to a new viral makeup trend every week. Sure, I've had a hard time understanding some trends (like the Tomato Girl and Strawberry Girl) but the latte makeup seen on celebs like Hailey Bieber isn't one of them — it gets a double thumbs-up from me! It's an attainable aesthetic anyone can wear, and gives major summer-to-fall vibes.

When considering all of this, it's hard for me to feign annoyance. Instead of doing that, I'd rather share why I think TikTok's viral latte makeup trend is so good, you'll want to recreate it.


What is latte makeup?

Similar to an actual latte, this makeup look focuses on brown and nude tones. It also aims to provide a natural glow for an overall bronzed goddess effect.

The actual name stems from content creator Rachel Rigler's viral TikTok video where she goes into depth about makeup looks that feature those warm and bronzy shades, and how she recreates it.

What color is latte in makeup?

Latte makeup uses browns and golds together to create a dimensional, warm, and glowy look!

Is latte a warm or cool color?

Like so many beauty trends, latte makeup is totally customizable for your features and skin tone. You can add cool things down with a blue-toned brown or add bronzy shades to warm everything up. Figure out which works better for you, or try something new every time!

How To Get A Summer Latte Makeup Look

Summer makeup is all about keeping things light and dewy.

  1. You'll want to start by using a lightweight primer followed by skin tint or medium-coverage foundation.
  2. From there, you can use a creamy contour to bring definition to your face. Lightweight bronzers will also do the trick!
  3. Next, use concealer that's a few shades lighter than your skin tone to highlight under your eyes.
  4. To set your face, you can use whatever powder you have at home, but translucent powder works best for this look.
  5. For your lips, reach for a '90s brown lip liner and a nude lipstick that works for your skin tone. Mist your face with setting spray and you'll be staring at a recreated version of the latte makeup look.

Below you'll find a few more quick latte makeup tutorials for different skin tones.

How To Get A Fall Latte Makeup Look

It doesn't take much to recreate a fall version of this look. You'll want to follow the above steps while opting for a smoky brown eye along with a deeper brown lip. You can also opt for heavier products for more coverage once the weather cools down.

Choose cooler browns and auburns instead of bright oranges and pinks to add even more dimension. The difference will be subtle but noticeable.

Their paths actually crossed because of a pivotal accident that neither of them saw coming and it caused Helen to view Grant as her worst enemy for years. However, time passed and they moved on to separately create lucrative careers. What they couldn't have expected was for their paths to cross, especially not at work.
Given the amazing opportunity to be a writer for the TV adaption of her own successful YA books, Helen anxiously travels to LA to accept the position and hit the reset button on her life. She has a brief moment of euphoria until she realizes that Grant will also be in the writer's room.
Now they'll have to confront their complicated feelings for each other in order not to derail their jobs and lives. They know it's impossible for them to have a true love story, but sometimes the messiness of life is all it takes for two people to find common ground and decide how they want their stories to end.
