It's Beauty Squared Round-Up time! We've been delinquent. September has been a very, very busy month.

  • Basic beauty tips: how to contour your eyes.

  • How to:
  • And finally, Megan Koester took a class called "Wow-Factor Makeup for Instagram" and wrote about it for Jezebel.

When is the next flight off the planet happening?
