How To Make Your Makeup Stand Out This Winter
Globe Views

There's no point in denying that as the seasons change, so do makeup looks. Bright, vibrant, warm colors, such as orange, are popular in the fall, while pastel, soft colors, such as pink, are used more frequently during the months of July and August. With the recent change in the weather, clothing and makeup has subtly changed as well. These are the three best ways to make your makeup match the season, with the best products to help you achieve it.

1. Cool Colors


What colors do you think of when you think of snow? White and blue are usually the ones that come to mind. Because of this, when you wear a light blue or creamy white on your eyelids, it will match the weather outside. Similarly, a darker, yet still colored, lipstick can remind people of warm blankets on a cold night. Think plum, purple or even a slightly colorful brown pigment.

2. Glitter, Glitter, And More Glitter

This season, feel free to swipe a little bit of glitter eyeshadow, eyeliner, a shimmery lipstick, or even a bright highlighter on. The glitter, being light and sparkly, mirrors the image of snow and rain falling in the colder seasons. Make sure the glitter is a light pigment because lighter colors also work better in the wintertime.

3. Neutrals And Naturals

A timeless look nevertheless, neutrals and naturals are great this season to help tone down the drama. While everyone likes a smoky eye, the neutral look helps to create a softer, more comfortable look, perfect for lazy blanket days. What's even better about these looks is how easy they are to pull off. A normal foundation routine, two or three eyeshadow shades brushed over the eyelid, natural eyeliner and mascara, and an optional nude lipstick. What could be simpler?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
