Nothing excites us more than seeing the latest make-up trends while scrolling through Instagram.

Well, the latest phase to hit the world of beauty is crystal lips, and they are unreal. 

Now we appreciate the fact that they are not exactly the go-to look for a night out, as we reckon they'd make drinking and speaking very difficult.

Despite that we simply cannot deny how darn pretty and photogenic these lips are. 

Johanna Adams is a New York based make-up artist who has risen to fame for her crystal lip looks. 

If you want to recreate these amazing lips, then take note of the following:

“The crystal look is achieved by a process of mixing and layering. I start a mixture of a colour, the gloss and the crystals and press and distribute it on my lips. I then take just loose glitter and press on more to finish the crystalized appearance.” 

Each of these fab looks takes up to an hour to create, but they are totally worth it! 

OBSESSED!

We blame Starbucks for this.

Every year, without fail, there is a pumpkin-spiced-craze the second the sun goes into hiding.

And the latest pumpkin-spiced trend? Make-up.

Yep, according to Teen Vogue, Etsy seller FeatherRiverBody has recently created a PSL-inspired makeup range, which includes a pumpkin latte highlighter and eyeshadow. 

They both come in a light-orange colour with a shimmery finish, but don't worry if you think you'll end up looking like an Oompa Loompa, both products have a fab golden tone when put on the skin. 

And if you're strapped for cash? FeatherRiverBody noted that the highlighter can also be used as a shadow, so we'd count that a win-win.

Time to get our PSL on.

The Power of Make-Up trend, which tries to combat the stigma of girls wearing make-up started last year and it still continues on social media today.

The trend saw girls only applying make-up to half of their face, to try stop the shaming of women who like to wear lipstick, mascara and blusher.

One woman, Kelsie Swygart, wanted to combat the issue but also had another reason for posting the selfie.

 

I DON'T WEAR THIS MUCH MAKEUP EVER. I just did this for the sake of the challenge. Most days I don't wear any makeup at all unless I'm at work and even then it's just brows, liner & mascara. For everyone saying "Too much" or "Too dramatic" etc. can suck eggs. Even if I did this full glam look every day, it would be nobody's concern but my own. I do feel beautiful with or without makeup. This challenge was so freaking fun and I will be doing it again sometime soon! Thank you everyone for your kind and supporting comments! FOR EVERYONE ASKING WHAT MAKEUP I USE: FemmeCoture concealer, foundation and powders. #thepowerofmakeup #makeupofinstagram #mua #brows #lips #contour #highlight #anastasiabeverlyhills #mac #nyx #jeffreestarcosmetics #beauty #gorgeous #fullcoverage #nakedface #beforeandafter #bluehair #hairofinstagram #cutcrease #matte #motd #hotd #nailtech #makeup #freckles #thepowerofmakeupchallenge @nikkietutorials @thepowerofmakeupchallenge #femmecoture

Fair play, we think that every woman has the right to wear and do what she wants to.

Contouring has been huge for many seasons now, and even with newly-found beauty trends such as 'strobing' and 'baking' becoming more and more popular, we're all for adding that little bit of shimmer to our make-up look.

This September, Catrice is launching its new Contourious collection, and we have to say, we're already in love.

Giving you definition, a sculpted face and illumination, the range of cream and powder textures in this line come in dreamy soft champagne, rosé and brown hues.

And Catrice don't only have your face covered, it also has some contouring bits for your lips, eyes, and brows:

Contourious Brow Shaper – €3.50

This is to shape and define your brows. The extra slim brush will add definition to complete the perfect brow shape for you. Score!

 

Contourious Contouring Cream Palette – €4.95

This is dreamy. The perfect blend of two matte, creamy tones can be combined to create an individual shade just for you. Or you can use the two shades separately to highlight and shade.

 

Contourious Highlighting Stick – €4.50

This highlighting stick has the perfect light pearl shimmer to give you an amazing glow. It also blends effortlessly so you'll have no bother wearing this from day to night.

 

Contourious Sculpting Powder Palette – €5.50

A highlighter, blusher and coutour all in one! This is perfect if you're on the go all day and don't have enough room in your bag to fit all that make-up. Super handy!

 

Contourious Lip Countour and Colour – €4.95

With a matte lipliner that creates the perfect contour and then a gloss to provide the perfect finish, this is the only lippy you'll need in your make-up bag. Coming in two fab colours – dark rose-nude and rosewood – you're lips will stand out like Kylie K's.

The fab collection is arriving in Penneys stores and pharmacies nationwide throughout September 2016.

Hailey Baldwin is steadily following in the footsteps of her high-end model BFFs, Kendall and Gigi.

She rose to the scene shortly after the Victoria's Secret models, but that doesn't mean she needs to stand in the background.

After launching her first ever fashion line this summer, Hailey is about to debut her first make-up collaboration, and if her usual beauty look is anything to go by, it's not to be missed.

According to WWD, the 25-piece collection with ModelCo will range from lip glosses to contouring palettes and it's inspired by Hailey's "signature go-to beauty products."

Just "think filter-esque hues, sleek packaging, and premium formulas."

The collection doesn't debut until November, so even though we have a while to wait, we'd say it's going to be worth it.

If you're a fan of Orange Is The New Black, then you'll be used to seeing Laverne Cox on the silver screen with little or no make-up on.

Either way, she's beautiful and fierce, but her reason behind going make-up free for this selfie is speaking to ALL of us.

The bare-faced beauty shared a photo on Instagram and captioned the snap: "The other day after I took out my braids before we put them back in.

"I love fake hair. It's one of the great joys of my life. As an actress and a woman I love being able to transform, to switch up my look when I want to with wigs, weaves and bundles a plenty.

"I love this too. It's about choices and options."

YES.

Wearing make-up and changing our hair isn't all about looking good – it's about feeling good. It's about having the option to be a girly-girl one day and a rocker the next; not about who looks best or who is wearing the latest style.

If it makes you feel fab, go for it girl. It's your choice.

It looks like Cara Delevingne is the next person to rock a budget beauty look.

The Suicide Squad star is killing it in the style stake for her film premiere tour, and even though her most recent look is on the cheap, it doesn't take away from enhancing her gorgeous features.

According to Byrdie, make-up artist to the stars Romy Soleimani, created this purse-friendly look on Cara by mixing two different lippys together.

The red lip was created by using Rimmel's Provocalips Lip Colour in Kiss Me You Fool and The Only 1 Lipstick in Call Me Crazy, which both come in at €8.99.

Cara's look is edgy, glamorous, and budget-friendly… everything we could ever want!

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.

We all love a good emoji (sassy girl, anyone?), but now two of our favourite things are coming together and it's going to be delightful.

If you love make-up but can't find a way to express your joy because you just bought the new NYX lippie, then things are going to get a lot easier for you.

L'Oreal just announced that it is launching Beaumoji, the new emoji keyboard that's dedicated to all things pink and pretty.

And some major brands are also gaining big on this too as you'll see every label from NYX to Urban Decay.

For now, it's only available to use in the US (BOOOO) but we're hoping it'll come to Ireland very soon.

Summer can be tricky. We spend all of our money on nights out in the sun (and rain), festivals, gigs, new summer clothes.. the list goes on.

So when it comes to picking up some little bits and bobs, we find that we don't have enough to buy our fave BB cream or mascara.

Well, fear not, because this new brand will see you through until payday comes around again.

Lidl (Yes, Lidl) is after launching a new make-up collection and has everything from eyeshadow and mascara, to lipstick and nail polish.

Launching in stores tomorrow, it'll be your one stop shop for those little things you desperately need for an impromptu night out (because let's be honest, we rather have a nice cocktail than a lipstick that costs twenty quid).

Have a look at their latest range, it's going to surprise you:

 

Cien's BB Cream (€2.99)

Coming in at two shades; light and medium, this will give you a soft, smooth finish under your foundation. It also provides SPF 15 (handy) and promises 24-hour hydration for your skin.

 

Cien Eyeshadow (€1.99 each)

Something you always need in your make-up bag, a splash of eyeshadow can do wonders. The colours are fab too, coming in with nudes, browns, and a strong blue shade, these will bring you from day to night.

 

Cien Volume Mascara & Waterproof Mascara (€2.49 each)

We all know no beauty look is finished without a lash of mascara, and Cien's two new products will give you endless volume and coverage. And let's be real, we all need a bit of waterproof mascara for festival days.

 

Cien Lipsticks (€2.49) and Lip Glosses (€1.99)

We adore the colours that these new lipsticks and lip glosses come in. Go á la Kylie Jenner with a striking brown hue, or make your pout the centre of attention with a striking red. Oooh, and there's a rich purple in there too which we <3 .

 

Cien Nail Polish (€1.99 each)

When you just don't have time (or cash) to get your usual 3-week polish, these nail polishes will save the day. From a clear gloss, to berry shades and warm nudes, you'll be sorted in no time with these.

Well, it seems that Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid are going to be doing a bit more pillow talk as the pair are reportedly back together.

According to Us Weekly, a source has confirmed that the 21-year-old model and 23-year-old singer have made up after their split earlier last week.

“They broke up and got back together almost right away,” the insider said. 

“Right now it’s back on, but it could be off again in an hour.”

 

A photo posted by Gigi Hadid (@gigihadid) on

Fans think that the pair only broke up for a few hours since Gigi mentioned him as her boyfriend in an Elle interview the day after the news broke.

She also lip-synced to one of Zayn's songs on Snapchat while wearing his 'Z' necklace a couple of days later.

Talk about ups and downs!
