How-To: Get Gigi Hadid's Killer Gold Eye in 3 Low-Key Ways

Even if you're an everyday makeup kind of girl, you can probably count the number of times you've dared to wear gold eye shadow on one hand.
A metallic eye doesn't necessarily scream subtle, so it makes perfect sense that, in the past, you've reserved the glitzy trend for trips to Vegas or Halloween costume parties. However, according to celeb makeup artist Suzie Kim, a gold eye can actually work any hour, any time—just take a look at Gigi Hadid.
"Gigi's gold eye is really fresh—it's just one color and no eyeliner, a surprisingly low-maintenance option for summer," Suzie spilled.
For three minimal-effort ways to wear gold eye shadow, read on.

How Celebrities Really Make Money on Instagram: Behind the Secret World of Social Media Sponsorship

You see it all the time. A celebrity's Instagram post that looks ever-so-slightly different than the rest.
Maybe it's the way they're posing just so (or rather, it's a posed shot that looks posed) or the fact that the caption reads just a little too much like an informercial. Most of us pay them no mind, simply scrolling past to yet another engagement announcement ("Can't wait to spend forever with my best friend!") or vacation humble brag ("Just my view for the next week. NBD."), but little do we know, those Instagram posts are subtly making their way into our subconscious, influencing us to choose differently the next time we're on the market for teeth whitener or detox tea.

How To Choose The Right Makeup Palette

Whether you’re heading away for a beach weekend or a long summer vacation, there’s nothing more convenient than a makeup palette featuring all your must-have items in one easy-to-transport compact. After all, rather than taking a slew of different makeup items — Blush! Eyeshadow! Highlighter! — why not whittle it down to as few items as possible, and save the space for things that really matter? (Like clothes.)
The only problem: With so many palettes to choose from, it can be confusing to pick the right one for you. “Palettes that include compatible eye, cheek, and lip colors are incredible for saving you space and time by keeping your makeup options organized and concise while you’re on the go,” says Francesca Giaimo, makeup artist to celebrities including Ingrid Nielsen and iJustine. “The trick is simply finding shades that work with your skin tone.”
I'II  break it down for you here with some easy tips for picking your perfect shades.

Summer beauty tends to lean luminous…and, more importantly, minimal.

You’re Doing It Wrong: Covering Under-Eye Bags

I am going to be straight with you: Looking well-rested, particularly when you're tired, is not going happen without doing something about it.

Under-eye bags are notoriously difficult to mask...but they don't have to be. If you ask celeb makeup artist Suzie Kim, who happens to use the same tip as supermodel Miranda Kerr, there are a few simple things you can do to expertly conceal your circles.

This Natural Remedy Will Stop Excessive Shedding Of Your Hair

As women, we often aren’t too kind to our hair.
Whether applying too much heat or harsh products, or lack of moisture, at times we are responsible for our own hair damage. As a result of mistreatment, and sometimes stress or even skin conditions, shedding or hair loss may occur.
But don’t fret, there’s an au natural way to combat this!
A black tea rinse.
A black tea rinse is a wonderful treat for your tresses. The caffeine and antioxidants are a powerful reactor to the horomone DHT, which is responsible for hair loss. No chemicals needed!

Beauty Rehab: How to Repair Over-Plucked Eyebrows

Over-plucked brows, unfortunately, still exist.
Whether it was a mistake of your own or you were victim of a rushed aesthetician, the regrowth process is the same...and it isn't fun (or pretty). With that said, it's time to correct (and then prevent) the damage with the help of celebrity eyebrow artist Anthony Andrews.
"When it comes to regrowing your brows, the safest place to start is seeking out a professional. It's important to find a brow artist who will take quality time assessing your brows rather than the traditional 5 to 10 minutes you spend in and out of a nail or threading salon. (A quick "clean-up" leaves room for lots of error.)"
