Trends are constantly changing, but this is especially true with the fashion world. To anyone trying to find a new way to do their makeup here are the top seven trends of 2016:

1. Colored Eyeliner

A popular trend that makeup wearers are going crazy over. Colored eyeliner looks have been spotted on Jessica Biel and many other celebrities.

2. Color Correcting Powder

A old trick that has been modernized by makeup professionals just recently. For dark circles under the eyes, it is common to use a red powder to conceal the dark color that is caused by broken blood vessels.

3. Winged Eyeliner

A style that has been popular for the past several years. Winged eyeliner is a popular trend that many women use. Whether it is a small wing or a dramatic bold wing, it is a timeless look that will not be fading away anytime soon.

4. Dramatic Contouring

A game changer in the way makeup is being applied. Contouring can completely change the look of the shape of the face and facial features by using bronzing shades and highlights. Common applications include cream contouring and powder contouring. The key to great contouring is to blend, blend, blend to achieve a flawless look.


5. Big Bold Lashes

Big lashes are a major key to a true American eye look. The more mascara the better, but be aware that clumping may occur if too many coats are applied. Bigger and bolder lashes can also be achieved by the use of professionally applied lash extensions. The best part of having permanent lash extensions are that you don't have to use mascara at all!

6. Thick Eyebrows

Out go the pencil thin eyebrows of the early 2000s and in come the thick beautiful eyebrows. To achieve a fuller eyebrow it is common to use a brow powder filler with an angled brush and brow gel to set them in place for an all day, long lasting look.

7. Strobing

Strobing is a newer technique that involves the use of an extreme shimmering effect on the cheekbones of the face. This look will draw the light and give a slimming effect to the face.

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.
