Ladies, listen up! 

So, you may have noticed that Penneys has seriously upped its beauty game over the past few months.

From fancy makeup brushes and affordable lip kits to gorgeous nude eyeshadow and nifty nail polish, it's easy to see why everyone is raving about the ever-growing collection.

And as if we didn't already love it enough, beauty buffs are no comparing the brand's 'My Perfect Colour' longwear ultimate matte foundation to the holy grail of high-end cosmetics, Estée Lauder's Double Wear. 

Both products promise perfect coverage that stays in place all day long – but seeing as a 30ml bottle of Double Wear retails for around €36.00, Penneys' €6.00 alternative is definitely worth a try. 

But don't just take our word for it – here's what people are saying online.

There are always more than a few Instagram makeup trends doing the rounds online, but the latest one really takes the p***.

Teenage MUA Jake Warden has gained over 1.1million views on one particular makeup tutorial.

While the look he creates is pretty flawless, it's the use of his iPhone as a mixing palette for foundation that has people going crazy for the MUAs videos.

 

A post shared by Jake Warden (@jakewarden) on

We'd barely toss our phones in our bags without a cover, never mind pour foundation all over them, so this beauty tutorial trend is pretty baffling to us. 

In two separate tutorials, he squirts foundation onto the back of his rose gold iPhone, which doesn't have a case on it, and mixes highlighter into it using the iPhone rather than the back of his hand to mix the products together. 

We thought this might just be a random, teenage makeup trend that would pass by without notice, but now other MUAs are following suit. 

 

A post shared by Kiki ♥️ (@spottedstyleblog) on

We shudder to think about the amount of germs that reside on the backs of our phones, so we seriously hope these MUAs are using a sterilisation wipe before dropping foundation oin their pricey smartphones. 

Kids these days…

Listen, we all have those days (and nights) where we absolutely plaster on the makeup to make ourselves feel glamorous. 

However, most of the time we just want to look fresh, dewy and like we have no makeup on at all, right?!

Thankfully, the gorgeous folks at M.A.C cosmetics are releasing a new line of foundation, that will make you look like you have an Instagram filter on at all times.

The genius new foundation range balances sheer coverage, a dewy glow, and a texture that makes your skin feel like it's naked – but you'll look flawless.

The foundation is aptly named Next to Nothing, and is being released in both liquid and powder form. 

The liquid, Next to Nothing Face Colour, feels similar to a BB cream or a slightly richer tinted moisturiser – it feels weightless on the skin, and will leave you hydrated, rather than that chalky feeling of typical foundations.

The powder, Next to Nothing Pressed Powder, is soft and silky, with an almost iridescent quality – imagine your normal powder's sexy cousin, and you have this fabulous product. 

The two glorious new products are launching in April, just in time for summer and will cost €30 for the liquid, and €26 for the powder. 

We cannot wait to try this!

It took us most of our teenage years to master how to blend our foundation into our jawline, but once we had that down, we thought we were sorted.

We weren't, of course, because while we were busy dealing with our jawline, we were completely neglecting another line – our hairline, obvs.

If you've ever arrived to work or college and realised your base is giving your hair a grey tinge akin to your granny's 70th birthday snap, then you're not alone.

And if you're one of those girls who used your fringe to avoid properly blending your make-up, then meet your sisters.

But it looks like we need no longer fear the washed-out septuagenerian look if Margot Robbie's recent tips are anything to go by.

Speaking to ELLE, the Aussie star revealed her top trick for avoiding the look we've spent too much of our life rocking.

"My friend taught me this trick that I use it every day. When I put on foundation, I use an eyebrow brush or toothbrush to brush it into my hairline so that it all blends," she explains.

"Especially because I have blond hair but tanned skin, if I don't blend it, it looks gross – you can see the foundation in my hair."

Unlike the rest of us however, Margot's boyfriend struggles to understand much of her beauty routine.

"I do that every single day, and every time my boyfriend [Tom Ackerley] is like, what are you doing? And I'm like, I'm brushing my makeup into my hairline! And he's like, girls are crazy."

Crazy… but perfectly blended thanks to your girlfriend, Tom.

If you’ve ever been doing your foundation and accidentally applied one layer too many, you’ll know what it’s like to feel caked in makeup.

But a Swedish beauty blogger who YouTubes under the name Jeely has decided to take that experience to the extreme by applying 100 layers of foundation to her own face.

According to The Daily Mail, Josefin Lillakas spent three hours applying the drug store product with a beauty blender which eventually left her looking like she was wearing some form of greasy mask.

Naturally Josefin filmed the process for YouTube and in the video description she very honestly describes the experience as “craycray” and “messy af”.

Throughout the clip – which has been viewed over 175,000 times since it was uploaded last Thursday – she jokes that “at least it’s full coverage” and asks “am I flawless yet?”

She is also seen blow-drying her face at multiple stages during the process in an attempt to dry her makeup–laden face.

Josefin has previously applied one hundred layers of mascara to her lashes which leaves us wondering what her next 100 layer challenge will be.

Don't you just hate it when you put on a white top, and the second you get it over your head there's instant regret. Foundation has just mucked up your pristine white tee, and now it looks like you just grabbed it from the dirty washing.

It happens to all of us, and we either have to just deal with it for the whole day or run to our floor-drobes and change our entire outfit. Either way, it's a s*it buzz.

But now, a beauty Youtuber called Kalei Lagunero has filmed a clever hack for when that fatal smudge of ivory invades your shirt. And the hack is shaving foam.

Yep, not something you'd ever think would be handy for anything other than, er… shaving, but in the video, Kalei slathers foundation on her white top (which btw, made our hearts stop) and then proceeds to apply shaving foam to the foundation.

She lets the foam sit for a couple of minutes, and then rubs it into the stain and rinses with cold water. 

Kalei repeats the process once more, this time opting for warm water and hey presto! The make-up has disappeared.

Not bad, not bad at all.

There's nothing worse than pulling off a top after a long day and realising the neckline is totally SCHMEARED in foundation – sexy, right?

And while we know there's probably a better solution, most of us end up tossing it into the laundry and hoping all will be well in the morning.

It looks, however, like the days of crossing your fingers and waiting for the machine's beep have come to an end ever since this vlogger's online tutorial has gained momentum.

Originally uploaded to YouTube by Kalei Lagunero in 2015, this genius hack has started doing the rounds again, and frankly ladies, it's the gamechanger we've all been waiting for.

All you need to rid your favourite top of your favourite foundation is some shaving cream and water  – no, seriously that's it.

It was an early start for Nadine Coyle this morning, so early that she must have gotten ready in the dark. 

The singer was hoping to add a touch of glamour to her early morning interview with Lorraine on the ITV show, but instead her look turned out to be a complete #fail. 

Her make-up consisted of a (very) wrong foundation choice which seemed to be plastered all over her pretty features. 

Yep, her face was yellow and her neck was white – a mistake made by many of us in our teenage-disco years. 

The contrast was extremely noticeable and her bright pink lips and dark shadow didn't do much to help her either.

Viewers noticed the disaster quite quickly and took to social media to question the make-up fail.

One Twitter users asked, "What the hell is going on with Nadine's foundation it's completely the wrong colour."

Another pointed out, "Nadine has an orange face and white neck. Even I know how to blend," while another blamed the make-up artist, "Ooh, Nadine needs to sack the MUA – that foundation is totally the wrong colour."

It's by no-means a brand-new beauty technique. Still, when Kim Kardashian revealed that she relied on contouring to achieve her perfect red-carpet makeup look, just about everyone started similarly highlighting, toning and sculpting.

But while the Kardashian-Jenner clan remain firm-fans of the practice to this day – one makeup mogul strongly disagrees with its popularity. 

“When I see contouring on people’s faces it looks like dirt,” Bobbi Brown told the New York Post.

“As a beauty expert, I believe in individual beauty, and it’s just not my aesthetic. We don’t need to be contouring like the Kardashians.”

Instead, the 58-year-old Chicago-native champions a natural, healthy and fresh face: she says we should all be highlighting our natural cheekbones with a creamy rouge, or else a moisturiser that gives a subtle glow.

“The contouring trend is so wrong because it tells women there’s something wrong with their face,” Ms Brown added. “There’s beauty in a full face, so I don’t like to paint in a cheekbone that doesn’t exist.”

That's not all: Bobbi went on to dismiss the big-lip look that Kim's little sister, Kylie Jenner, has made so famous. 

“Lip-plumping and fillers never work,” she says. “We’re not all born with Angelina Jolie lips… and whoever said small lips aren’t beautiful?”

Ms Brown suggests lining lips with a soft purplish pencil – like the €22.50 Bobbi Brown lip liner in Bobbi, a shade she designed for herself – for a faint enhancement.
