Beauty Squared Round Up for March 1, 2015

Hello! It's Sunday and that means it's round-up time. Here's what we have for you this week!

• Lipstick that changes colour depending on your body temperature? 
• MAKE Cosmetics are now available to buy at JCrew.com. 
• Uh, Pizza Hut nail polish?
• One of the most talked about things from the Oscar red carpet this year was Margot Robbie's lip colour. Here's what MUA Tyron Machausen used on her face, including that gorgeous lip colour. 
• Is lip balm addiction a real thing? 
• Remember that video of Max Factor applying makeup on a extra's face that was featured in the Round Up two weeks ago? Well here's more on how Max Factor made up on silent film actors and revolutionized makeup. 
• Major sparkle for the eyelids was all over the runways recently with models sporting glued-on crystals and sequins on their eyelids. Look for this to trickle down to more wearable looks for non-model types who want the look. 
• How to banish winter hat head. You know you need this post. 
• And how to give fine, flat hair body. 
• How to pronounce commonly mispronounced fashion and beauty words.

Beauty Squared Round-Up - February 16, 2015

Good morning!

In today's Beauty Squared links:

• A new beauty brand called Stowaway Cosmetics is set to change the way we think about makeup. They do "mini makeup" - travel-friendly sizes that will beat that "I'll never finish all of this" feeling.
  
• Hey, green eyes! Eye makeup looks just for you.
  
• Have you seen the pretty, shimmering MAC x Cinderella collection yet? Promo photos here and Temptalia's reviews/swatches here.
  
• Ready for spring? The new Essie + Rebecca Minkoff collection will help you get in the mood.
  
• Speaking of spring nails, The Polishaholic has a review and swatches of the new Essie Resort 2015 collection.
  
• Sephora's got an interesting new eyelash comb design. Temptalia's got her impression of it here.
  
• How often do you wash your hair? Here's how often you should (hint: they're probably not the same thing).
  
• Do you have rosacea? Or perhaps you've just got a lot of redness? Here's a makeup tutorial by Lisa Eldridge that offers tips for this kind of skin. Also, rather than just a natural look, Lisa does a more glam look using a red lipstick (something those with a lot of red to their skin tend to avoid).
  
• Benefit Cosmetics has got another brand new mascara. This one is called Benefit Roller Lash and here is what Pixiwoo thought of it.
  
• An interview with MUA Mark Coulier, who was behind the makeup look that so successfully aged Tilda Swinton in the Oscar-nominated Wes Anderson movie The Grant Budapest Hotel.
  
• Some of the best makeup looks from last weekend's Grammy awards. Which were your favourites?
  
• Pixiwoo takes a look at nine of their favourite Lipstick Queen lipsticks. GORGEOUS.
  
• And finally, Max Factor: first beauty vlogger? Nah, but check out this fantastic video showing the beauty icon at work, creating a Claudette Colbert look on an actress. 

Beauty Squared Round-Up - January 12, 2014

Hello lovelies! It's Sunday so that means it's Round-Up time. Here are the beauty links we've rounded-up for your reading pleasure. 

• Are you a beauty blogger thinking about doing videos? Are you thinking of doing your own beauty blog? You should check this out.
• Tracy from Beauty Reflections reviews Sephora's new Upside Down Mascara. You've gotta check this out!
• Tips on trimming your own bangs. You can do it, but read this first! 
• Eyeliner! How to apply it.

• Are you a sucker for smoky eyes like I am? Here are some celebrity inspirations. 
• Founded in 1909, Max Factor's cosmetics line and techniques revolutionized makeup for film. This is an excellent article telling his story.  
• The wholly unhealthy thigh gap trend. 
• As much as the media, fashion and pop culture need to embrace a more inclusive ideal of beauty, it's not OK to claim one body type is more "real", "ideal" or "natural" than another.
