2016 has been one interesting year so far in news, politics, and even fashion. Makeup is ever changing, and a great way to experiment with different looks. Here is a list of the Top 10 most interesting makeup looks of 2016 so far.


1. Clumpy Eyelashes

This is a look that Twiggy rocked in the 60s. Yes folks, a makeup look that everybody used to avoid is now becoming a thing. This look is all about the mascara. The more mascara on each individual eyelash the better!

2. Bold Red Lips

This look is a very easy one to achieve. All you need is your favorite tube of red lipstick and you are good to go! Don't even worry about contouring your cheeks or mastering your wing eyeliner, just your bare, fresh face will do.

3. Glitter Bomb


Forget about that concealer for your dark under eye circles and just dab on some glitter! This look can be done using glittery eyeshadow and of course loose glitter! With this look you can be totally over the top and have an immense amount of glitter. Or you can be subtle and tone it down. The choice is yours! Be careful though with glitter near your eyes.


4. Highlight... and more highlight

This makeup trend is popping right now--literally! A highlight lifts up your face and gives it an element of brightness. Just a quick brush of highlight on your nose bridge, cheekbones and the arch of your eyebrows can instantly give you a more youthful glow. It leaves you looking like a nice glazed doughnut.

5. Faux Freckles


This is a kooky makeup trend that is happening in 2016. Basically, it is drawing spots on your face using eyeliner. Ladies and gentlemen who are already born with freckles are blessed and don't have to worry about creating this look at all.

6. Blue Eyeliner

Blue eyeliner is becoming a trend slowly but surely in 2016. This makeup trend is simply putting on blue eyeliner on the top and bottom of your water line. The blue eyeliner is supposed to help your eyes pop a little more. It helps give your eyes a more defined and brighter look to them.

7. Eyebrows on Fleek

I don't really know when I started to look at people's eyebrows to see if they were on complete fleekage, but it's a thing now. Everybody wants to have the perfect eyebrow. Shockingly, some people are going above and beyond, and actually getting their eyebrows tattooed on. Services to get your eyebrows tattooed can cost around $400 to $700, and including touch up cost which can cost up to $300 more. I'm just going to stick with my $8 eyebrow pencil and brush, thank you very much!

8. Baking

To be honest, this was a big trend towards the end of 2015, but remains on this list because of the constant hype that surrounds it. Baking is a term that means taking translucent powder on your face (preferably under your eyes and chin), letting it sit there for a couple of minutes, and dusting it off with your makeup brush. What this is suppose to do is leave you face with no creases from the foundation and concealer that you may have put on your face.

9. White Winged Eyeliner

This trend is a little different because everybody is so used to seeing or using black eyeliner. With this makeup trend, some people choose to smudge the ends of their wings while others just keep them sharp.

10. Gold

With gold eyeshadow and bronzer you can warm up your skin. This is a very subdue and easy makeup look. Gold eyeshadow really helps to frame and give attention to your eyes. Just like a highlight, it gives your face an element of brightness.

Well, there you have it. So, which trend are you going to try?

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
