You are beautiful just the way you are. Join the No Makeup revolution. Months of my life were wasted on this pointless ritual before I realized that slathering our skin organ with industrial byproducts is the Chinese footbinding of our age.
When I was in high school, I had a religious experience. I can’t explain why, but one day I stood transfixed in front of the mirror, and something hit me from high above — or beyond. WHY? Why am I wearing all this makeup? Why do I cake the living organ that is my skin with toxic barely-invented-yesterday chemicals? Why do I go through this bullshit routine every day when I am perfectly aware that time is our most valuable currency? I hated putting it on, hated how my skin felt while it was on, and of course: hated having to take it off (god have mercy on you if…

7 reasons men think women should never get plastic surgery Women shouldn't have work done to any part of their bodies—and there's far more to it than the disasters.
Every single person in this world is insecure about something on their bodies, whether that is their hammerhead shark-shaped toes, to the bulbous noses that appear like woodshop-crafted door stops, and parked squarely in the middle of their faces. In a time and place where we can’t agree on anything, imperfections surely are what make us distinctly human, and should make us united on at least one front. But it’s one thing to have those insecurities, and it’s something quite different to act on erasing them. I’m talking about plastic surgery, the big business of making things both bigger and smaller. But if you asked most men, they’d tell you…

Annie Jones and herstory’s many badass bearded beauties Freak show performers were the original American celebrities, and bearded ladies occupied a high place in the freak hierarchy.
In the late nineteenth century, one of the most famous women in America was Annie Jones, known as a small child as The Infant Esau. When she died at the age of thirty-seven, she had never known any life but that of a freak show performer. P.T. Barnum had begun displaying her in his American museum when she was just twelve months old. Her talent? She had a beard. In the heyday of the American freak show, the hair that sprouted on the faces of a lucky few women (and sometimes children) gave them a chance at fame. Freak show performers were the original American celebrities, and bearded ladies occupied…

Black teeth and dilated pupils: 15 extreme beauty trends of the past Hold off on fluffing those brushes — these are beauty trends you may not want to blend with.
Contour makeup, fierce eyeliner, and a bold lip will make you look like a star — these principles are the foundations (pun intended) of current cosmetic beauty. The people of yesteryear had their own beauty trends, and by our standards they are often more than questionable. Let’s rewind time and marvel at the lengths people will go to to reach the beauty standards of their day. The unibrow Before shaving, going au naturale was a societal norm for women.

A history of the women’s power suit We size up the power suits—from classic to cutting edge—that have advanced us through the decades.
The woman’s power suit isn’t easy to define. What was once characterized by big shoulders and a boxy torso has evolved, so its essential quality is the ability to make a woman feel her most confident. Here, we size up the power suits—from classic to cutting edge—that have advanced us through the decades. Looking Dapper Call it a coup.

Men shouldn’t be afraid to wear makeup I’m a man who wears makeup, and no, I’m not ashamed of it.
Makeup isn’t just a woman’s game anymore. I say this because I’m a man who wears makeup, and no, I’m not ashamed of it. Thankfully, more and more men are beginning to use makeup as well, and as a result the stigma that beauty products are only for women are fading away. According a survey of 1,000 men in the US and UK conducted by JWT conducted in 2013, 10% of men admit to having concealer in their bathroom cabinet. In addition to that 10%, 54% admit to using facial moisturizer and wash each day. If you’re surprised, I would like to ask you to take a minute to ask…

Scary truths every woman should know about sleeping in makeup You're gonna wash your face after reading this...
I rarely wear makeup. Why? Well for starters I’m too lazy to make the effort on a daily basis and I actually kind of like my face just the way it is. Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against people who do wear makeup. I actually think it’s really fun for special occasions. It’s just the every day make-upping i’m not into. Anyway, being too lazy to put makeup ON most days means I’m really bad about taking it OFF when I do wear it. Now everyone from my mom to Tyra Banks (yeah, I watched America’s Next Top Model back in the day) has told me that sleeping…

‘Anal botox’ is the new butt beauty trend we’ve all been waiting for Widespread anal sex also means a lot of loose bottoms. The gay world to the rescue: anal rejuvenation with botox!
Over the past few years, butts have become one of the most talked about body parts, even more than boobs (which is pretty shocking). Butt implants have been on the rise, thanks in part to the idea of having a Kim Kardashian butt (right insert) – you know, the perfectly round booty that pops out under a tiny waist and sits on thin, toned legs. People even began putting glitter on their butt earlier this year, which still confuses me, TBH. But out of all of the beauty “butt trends” that have been making the rounds, this one has got to be the most elaborate. It’s a medical procedure known as…
