We know the true purpose of award season is to celebrate the best in film and TV, but as beauty editors, we can’t help but think it serves another purpose—that is, providing enough hair and makeup inspiration to last us an entire year. While we’ve already witnessed some stunning looks from the Emmys and the American Music Awards, we consider the Golden Globes to be the real kickoff to award season. After all, it’s the first show of the New Year and, in a sense, the one that dictates the hair and makeup trends for all others that follow.  This year’s Golden Globes are a sight to behold since some of the buzziest movies and TV shows are nominated—think The White Lotus, The Crown, Wednesday, Babylon, Elvis, and Top Gun: Maverick… I co...

If there is one place that’s filled to the brim with makeup hacks, it’s TikTok. If you’re a beauty lover like I am, your For You page may well be dominated by viral beauty products and makeup tips—some of which are more successful than others when it comes to translating them into real life. So when I heard that celebrity makeup artist Mary Phillips (who does the makeup for Hailey Bieber, Jennifer Lopez and Kendall Jenner) had a hack for effortlessly blended contouring that was blowing up on the social platform, I knew I had to try it out for myself. Because who doesn’t want to look as sculpted as Hailey Bieber? You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be. It begins with giving you back pow...

Have you ever wondered what’s in a makeup artist’s makeup bag? Well, it’s safe to say that it’s probably a combination of eye shadows, eyeliners, eye brow pencils, mascaras, foundations, blushes, lipsticks, and bronzers. However, it really comes down to the brand and the quality of the makeup that’s the biggest difference in what a professional MUA has versus an everyday beauty lover.  Kate Lee, a Chanel makeup artist, has been working alongside the brand for over 17 years. Over that time, she’s worked on the faces of some of the biggest names in Hollywood such as Anne Hathaway, Kaitlyn Dever, Emma Chamberlain, Charli D’Amelio, and other beloved celebrities to create jaw-dropping looks for award shows, television appearances, an...

There are endless ways to wear makeup, and that is all part of the joy of both applying it and wearing it. We’ve always got our eyes peeled on the trending makeup looks that crop up on TikTok, as well as the defining makeup trends of the year. Experimentation is half the fun, and trying a new makeup look can bring you out of a beauty rut and reinvigorate your makeup bag once more. However, as trends come and go, there are some classy makeup looks that stand the test of time. Think of the kind of beauty moments that you see time and time again on the red carpet. A red lipstick, for example, transcends every decade without looking dated, and there is hue and texture to suit just about everyone. Not only is this look a great option for the evening, but it also works ...

While the New Year comes with a bevy of trend forecasts, I’m always most excited to learn about makeup trends. As a true makeup girl through and through, I’m always going to be the first person to try the latest trend, no matter what it is.  There’s no doubt that 2022 was a fantastic year for all things makeup. After all, it was the first year we began to shed our masks and reenter society, and with that came many, many makeup looks. People were ready to put products on their faces! We saw the emergence of face gems, ultra-glossy lips, siren eyes, and more.  Next year, expect the makeup trends to get even better. The ’90s are back with glamorous goth looks, supermodel-inspired makeup, and extra-lined lips. To get insider intel on this y...

“Back in the day you found your perfect foundation and stuck to it. You found your perfect eyeshadow palette that made your eyes look great and you stuck to it. It was very much ‘I’ve found my format of what makes me pretty, so I’m just going to stay there.’ It couldn’t be more opposite today. There’s a complete shift where everyone is almost having this explosion of self expression. There are neons and pastels and primary colours and gemstones, and all of these things that have become really big in my personal way of doing makeup in the last few years. I feel next year there’s going to be a further extension of that.” Such belief Baker has in this beauty movement, she co-founded BAKEUP, a brand specifically designed to push the boundaries of experimental beauty and self-expression. “It...

Last year, Vogue posted a video of Madison Beer using the Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Light Wand. The singer dabs a few dots of the highlighter-blusher hybrid onto her cheeks and the bridge of her nose, blends effortlessly with a sponge, and is left with the most perfect ‘lit from within’ glow. After watching the video, I immediately purchased the exact shade Beer used (Pinkgasm, if you were wondering). A wise move, considering that within a matter of days, every single shade of the wand was sold out, and it’s been almost impossible to get hold of ever since. In fact, every restock in the past few years has sold out within record speed, so this is an urgent PSA that although the Charlotte Tilbury highlighter wands are (finally!) back in stock, you’re going to need to move pretty fas...

Much like black, brown eyeliner can be applied in a number of different ways. I personally love using a brown pencil or crayon for tight-lining my eyes. I angle the pencil upwards and apply it right into my lash line which helps to add subtle definition and creates the illusion of fuller lashes without it looking like I have any eyeliner on. If you’ve previously found black eyeliner over-powering, but tight-lining with a brown liner has a totally different result which you’ll probably find more flattering. “The great thing about brown eyeliner is that you don’t have to be too neat and if you want a smoky, smudgy look you can just use a pencil brush to blend,” says Clarkson. She also recommends tight-lining to start with, but for a bolder look she suggests dragging the brown liner into a wi...

In the last year, I have gone completely mad for cream makeup formulations. Whether I’m sweeping a cream eyeshadow stick along my lash line or dabbing a cream blusher on the apples of my cheeks, I’ve realised they’re the quickest and most effective way to look ‘done up’ with very minimal effort. Plus, they’re super easy to blend with your fingers, and I am someone who generally prefers getting hands on with makeup over using an army of tools and brushes. Anyone else with me? In winter, and especially during party season, there’s one cream product that reigns supreme: A trusty cream bronzer. As my skin looks and feels drier at this time of year, I find it can give me the kind of instant glow up that no other product can. According to celebrity make-up artist Neil Young, this is all bec...

The Fashion Awards 2022 might be where you’ll find the most stylish people all together on the red carpet the Royal Albert Hall in London. But, it’s also the event of the year where you’ll find the most beautiful hair and makeup looks, as you’ll see ahead. From natural party makeup to full-on glam and avant garde, you’ll find just about every kind of beauty look on the Fashion Awards red carpet. And for 2022, the celebrities, models and designers did not disappoint this year. From Florence Pugh’s custom Valentino red lipstick (which was mixed from two lipstick and an eyeliner, would you believe?) to Raye’s fluttering feather false eyelashes, there were plenty of makeup looks that made us gasp as we scrolled through the ceremony’s im...

We believe in being 100% transparent here at WWW Beauty, and we’d be lying if we said we don’t have exceedingly high expectations when it comes to a face-perfecting foundation formula. As makeup artists can attest, foundation is one makeup category worth splurging on because you often get what you pay for regarding finish, naturalness, and longevity in the best foundations. Since we greet the world with the skin on our face, we always want our complexion to live up to its full potential, and, simply put, we have zilch time for unflattering shades or difficult application. That said, there is a select—let us emphasize—a very select group of drugstore foundations both celebrity makeup artists and product-jaded beauty editors stand by—formul...
