The Top 15 Beauty Trends Of 2015

2015 has been a year filled with tons of different beauty trends, in fact, it can be said that 2015 was one of the biggest years for makeup trends, so let's start there.

Makeup Trends:

1. Ombre Lips: In the world of makeup, ombre lips have been a growing trend. This style creates an illusion of full lips, and they look absolutely gorgeous.


2. Clown Contouring: Contouring has been a huge trend this year, but the biggest trend has to be clown contouring. It all started when beauty guru Belladelune posted a picture of herself counteracting those who say she looks like a clown. The result: a beautiful way to contour!

3. Matte Lipstick: Matte lipstick is very popular, with nearly every cosmetic brand creating their own.

4. Overdrawn Lips: This popular trend started going viral when Kylie Jenner showed off her big, yet totally gorgeous, lips. This inspired the Kylie Jenner Lip Challenge, and a new line of Kylie Jenner Lip Kits.

5. The Power of Makeup: This isn't necessarily a beauty trend, however, it is one of the best and most inspiring viral videos in the world of makeup. YouTube beauty guru Nikkie De Jager started this trend when she wanted to demonstrate the true power of makeup by only putting makeup on half of her face.


Hair Trends:

1. Gray hair: One of the biggest hair trends of 2015, gray hair has grown on men and women of all ages.


2. Rainbow roots: First seen on Lottie Tomlinson, the rainbow root trend is definitely an incredibly fun trend.

3. Glitter roots: The glitter root trend didn't seem to last long, but it definitely left a lasting impression.

4. Balayage: Much like an ombre, the balayage is a beautiful way to highlight hair.

5. Faux bangs: Fake bangs are easier than making the commitment to cut your bangs.



Nail Trends:

1. Water marble: A beautiful, yet extremely difficult technique.

2. Dry Marble: A similar, simpler technique to water marble.


3. Shattered glass: The thought of shattered glass nails would usually make one cringe, but it's so worth it for the iridescent look.

4. Satin nails: Similar to matte nails, the satin finish is soft looking and gorgeous for those who don't prefer a gloss finish.

5. Pointy nails: Sharp as a knife.

All of these gorgeous trends are (hopefully) going to make it to 2016. But who knows what 2016 has to offer in the world of beauty? I definitely can't wait!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
