These nymphs almost seem reminiscent to Sirens in Greek Mythology, who lured sailors with their beauty and captivating singing voices only to wreck their ships on the nearby rocks. The Creative Team succeeded in making these enchanting little creatures larger than life.

There’s nothing like getting new ideas and techniques for upping your makeup. In fact, we recommend it at least 2-4 times a year. Colors change with the seasons, fashion magazines promote new trends and it’s fun to keep up with it all, right? And if you’ve got a special occasion like a wedding, prom, anniversary or hot date, it’s always fun to have a makeup artist help you look FAB.

Hair color has never been more exciting! There are so many unique new trends and techniques, and maybe you’re ready to try one. We’re seeing so many iridescent lilacs on the streets and runways and the shade looks good on almost everyone, thanks to the color-correcting blue undertones that can give skin a brighter appearance. (Always a good thing.) Blonde is always in style and we’re seeing a lot of sun-kissed golden ombre hues this summer. And if red’s your thing, say goodbye to those strawberry blonde hues that are so 2017—and hello to fiery crimson reds. Rose Gold is also a big look for 2018. ...

Did your outfit moment really happen if you didn’t get a picture for your Instagram? That might seem a bit extreme, but we have to admit that half the fun in getting dressed up is curating the perfect photo to showcase your look and sharing it.
Much like fashion shows, festival-wear is an exaggeration of clothing that wouldn’t always reflect day-to-day style. However, the trends that we see emerging from Coachella to Bonnaroo...
