Shopping Guide: Our Favorite Eye Makeup For A Gorgeous Spring Look

It’s Springtime! That means big changes to makeup routines: gone is the matte skin, the moody ’90s lip colors, the heavy mascara, the cat’s eyes. Instead, skin gets dewier, cheeks get highlighted, liner is going from black to electric blue and moss green and lips are getting real, real bold.

You know, I’ve always been apt to regard bathrooms as the last modern sanctuary. When I was a kid, whenever I felt overwhelmed by… anything, really… I’d lock myself in the bathroom and read. I knew that I could basically stay there as long as I wanted and no one could ask to see me or bother me. I still feel like they’re safe places, in general. I guess the owners of the Shimmy Club in Glasgow really wanted me to stop feeling that way, because they installed two way mirrors in their bathrooms. More »
