I don't know what house of mirrors the beauty industry has been working in lately, but I'm liking the results—from the runway to the red carpet, three beloved classics (the cat eye, the smoky eye, and contouring) are being turned on their heads with decidedly cool results.

What is this trend, and what does it mean, you're wondering? Simple: It's literally just the opposite of what the original look was. Contouring is all about adding depth and shadow—strobing is all about adding…

Summers in Montana can get hot but that doesn't stop thousands of couples from planning their big days beneath the big sky.

Big skies and rolling rivers can be the perfect reason for a wedding in Montana. But wedding numbers are relatively low in the Bitterroot Valley. Event planner Autumn Kozimer hopes to change that. She recently founded the Bitterroot Wedding Association to showcase the area's wedding options.

"I'm looking to try and make a really cooperative wedding market…

What’s your favourite Aveeno product?

The product I’ve been using for years and years and I just love is Aveeno Daily Moisturising Lotion. I send it to everyone I know – like my manicurists who love it for massage and for feet – it’s absolutely fabulous. It’s so hydrating and helps my skin feel soft all day. Sometimes I use a lotion and my skin ends up feeling dry in an hours’ time.

As other states legalized same-sex marriage, Emma Foulkes and Petrina Bloodworth of Atlanta considered getting married elsewhere. They almost did it in Florida earlier this year.

But they decided to wait on Georgia.

Foulkes, 46, and Bloodworth, 41, were the first same-sex couple in line to get a marriage license after Friday’s U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing gay marriage from coast to coast. They are believed to be the first same-sex couple in Georgia to…

Supermodels wear a lot of hats these days. From lipstick-shade picker tohandbag designer, strutting the catwalk is becoming just a small part of their résumé. Which is why we’re not surprised the gorgeous Ethiopian-born model and LemLem designer Liya Kebede was just tapped to model a breezy summer collection for The Outnet.

You probably recognize the supermodel from her L’Oréal Paris campaigns (or her super-glam recent Vogue Paris cover, or our Cannes galleries), but Kebede is now the…

I am very impressed with this dress

I bought this cheap prom dresses in the hunter green. It fit perfectly and looked really cute.

I do like the dress but am worried about wearing it and feel as if I won't get to much unless I completely replace the zipper which is more costs I…

For most women, the most important fashion purchase in their lives is their wedding dress. Molly Guy founded Stone Fox Bride—a bridal showroom in downtown New York City—to give brides a high-fashion alternative that wasn’t filled with cookie cutter gowns and accessories. “I got engaged in 2009 and while I was shopping for a dress I discovered that I couldn’t find a place that seemed authentic to my style and vibe—something low-key, laid-back and bohemian chic,” Guy says. “Three weeks after I…

Beautiful dress, wonderfully made, fits perfectly!

Absolutely satisfied I was encouraged when I read the reviews about other products in the site. And looked at the model photos then referred to the sizing chart and ordered primarily on the bust measurements. The dress fit perfectly when I received it. It is lovely and everything I could have hoped for and the price made it even better. And the shipping was very quick.

Love it! The dress is very…

The happiest day of your life can, sadly, often leave you broke, with the average wedding now costing £20,000.

With savings emptied, credit cards maxed out and money borrowed from family to pay for extravagances that can run into thousands of pounds, many couples are now starting their married life in debt.

But is it possible to…

While the sunshine is certainly cause to celebrate, the humid air and high temperatures throughout summer can often leave you with dreaded makeup melt.

Whether it's in order to remain shine-free or keeping eyes smudge-proof, there are ways to give makeup longevity despite the warmer weather.

Apply after moisturiser and before makeup. For something with real holding power, try Milk of Magnesia, which has oil-blotting properties and will create a smoother canvas for foundation…

The Kardashians have broken the Internet at least four times this year, and when it comes to beauty, it feels like the first half of 2015 has been all about Kylie Jenner’s massively luscious lips. Obsession over how to get her insane mouth drove teenage girls seriously crazy, and tabloid speculation over whether or not she resorted to plastic surgery swirled around for months before being confirmed on an episode of "Keeping Up With Kardashians."

I love experimenting with makeup, but…

I am so thrilled with the evening dresses! It is exactly how it looks like in the picture and fits perfectly. The staff are so helpful too, as initially I had given them the wrong measurements but they were more than happy to correct them for me. Totally worth it! Thanks marieprom :)

I ordered a custom-made size and I was nervous about how it would fit me. It was delivered in a timely manner, and when…

Before kids, it's a fair statement to say that I was clothing obsessed. I shopped a lot (a whole lot), spent the majority of my disposable income on clothes, and prided myself on being well dressed. For a while, I even wrote about fashion for a city magazine. It was kind of my thing. But becoming a mom changed pretty much everything in my life, including my sartorial passion, for many reasons.

Are you ready to spice up your life and inject some Spice Girls style into your summer wardrobe? I miss the fab five so much and not just because they changed British fashion but also because they were so incredibly fun. IMO, there hasn’t been another girl band since to be so popular, so energetic, and so different from anything else of the times. It seems now that girl bands are just churned out of talent shows one after the other, sporting the latest trends but missing a unique identity…

If Gaurang Shah gave an insight into traditional Indian fabrics, Masaba Gupta showed her quirky side again through her fusion wear creations. Ace designer Rocky S brought the western side of fashion with his range, consisting of gowns, dresses and more, at the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Weekend and Awards here.

Fashion Extravaganza, an event dedicated to fashion at IIFA, held on Saturday brought music, fashion and film stars together.…

(June 8, 2015) June is typically wedding month on Nantucket. There might be 10-20 weddings taking place over any given weekend in the spring and fall on the island. When I’m in Key West we go to Smather’s Beach. On Saturdays there is one wedding after another so we have a front-row seat. I like a beach wedding because it’s usually casual and intimate with not too many people. On Nantucket a beach wedding in June can be “iffy” with the…

St. Vincent (nee Annie Clark), 32, has been performing under that name since 2006.

One of the thorniest questions in fashion today is brand nationality.Tom Ford just won the Menswear Designer of the Year award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America — but his brand is based in London, and he shows on the British fashion calendar. So is his brand British, or American?When Marques’Almeida, also based in London, won the LVMH Young Designer’s Prize last month, I called the label a British brand — even though both its designers are Portuguese — and some readers felt…
