Makeup trends come and go pretty quickly nowadays, and it can be hard to keep up with all of the micro trends out there, especially when they require purchasing entirely new products.

Read more about our Product Review Guidelines here. There are benefits to taking your hair shorter no matter what season it is. In the summertime, short hair allows for easy styling; in the winter, it keeps knots at bay and makes wearing a scarf easier. But if you’re someone who likes to wear your hair short year-round, the styling options can start to feel a bit limited — or so you thought. There are plenty of spin-off styles that are similar to the classic…

For some, this means opting for winter nail designs, while for others, it means experimenting with new winter makeup looks, but if you’re the kind of person who likes to celebrate winter with a new hair color, we have just the thing: “winter gold” — and, yes, it’s as regal as it sounds. No matter your base color, adding golden tones to your hair can warm up your overall look in the cooler months.

Read more about our Product Review Guidelines here. “Expensive brunette” is not a nickname (although, if the shoe fits) — it’s a hair-color trend that has had everyone, including celebrities in Hollywood, flocking to their hairstylists for a winter refresh.

The Flipped-Hair Trend Is a Retro Style Made New
If scrunchies, banana eyeliner, and blush draping have taught us anything, it’s that old things become new again in the beauty space — you just have to give them time. That’s why we’re not surprised the flipped hairstyle is making a huge comeback. Flipped hair has been around for decades — Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Priscilla Presley both wore the style back in the day — but the new hairstyle trend puts a modern spin on it. Instead of lots of volume at the crown of the head, this version features sleek, pin-straight hair with the ends curled up into a sharp C shape. “Whether it’s paired with a ponytail,…

We’re fans of both options, of course, but if the latest hair-color trend making waves is any indication, out-of-the-box styles are back in the number-one spot. The latest color trend set to take center stage? “Calico” hair. If upon hearing the word “calico,” you immediately picture a cat, you’re on the right…

Tortoiseshell Nail-Art Trend Manicure Inspiration
Tortoiseshell is a common color pattern for glasses, jewelry, and cats. But like all great things, it’s made its way to the beauty world. First, there was tortoiseshell hair, a subtle brunette color with honey, caramel, and copper hues. Now, and perhaps even better, the pattern has made its way onto nails — and we didn’t think a manicure could look so chic. Tortoiseshell nails are great for beginners, mostly because the technique involves a lot of blobbing. Perfection isn’t necessary — all you really need to complete the look on your own at home are some autumnal brown and black shades. The standalone style is definitely enough for a…
