Makeup Brush Hair Types, Part I: Goat
Welcome to part one of my series on makeup brush hair. When shopping for different styles of cosmetics brushes, most of you tend to look for the softest hairs that won't scratch your face. While I happen to do the same thing, what I didn't realize is that hairs have vastly different functions.
Makeup Brush Hair Types, Part II: Pony
Welcome to the second installment of my makeup brush hair types series. Today's topic is pony hair. It's the most common type of hair in fluffy cheek, contour and powder brushes where dense color deposits are needed.

Makeup Brush Hair Types, Part V: Squirrel

Do You Have to Abide by a Makeup and Hair Policy?
I have many friends who work in the beauty industry who must follow controlled makeup and hair policies. For instance, my friend, who works at a cosmetics store, is required to wear at least three makeup items from the company's makeup line. No competitor's perfume is allowed, and her hair is always supposed to look "professional and presentable."
Which Spring Runway Trend Are You Most Likely to Wear?
In the world of beauty, trends are like a time machine, moving both forward and back. While I just returned from the whirlwind of 2009 Fall New York Fashion Week, I'm actually looking back on 2009 Spring New York Fashion Week, which I attended last September. Funny how that works.
Get the Most From Your Makeup: Hair Conditioner
Okay, this isn't technically makeup, but since it's still in the beauty genre I thought it was relevant. Hair conditioner and hair masks can also be used as shaving cream. I realize that it doesn't foam or even lather really, but it does create a smooth, slippery surface that helps prevent nicks and scrapes from razor blades.
