This blog is dedicated to drama-free beauty blogging. Kara Furgusen is a makeup obsessed blogger and writer who has contributed to Washingtonian.com and Refinery29 DC. She feels that makeup brings people together in a way that many other hobbies can’t, and we’re inclined to agree. To that effect, it’s all beauty talk, all the time here.
From inside scoops to runway makeup to nail polish. If you’re a big fan of doing your own manicures the ‘On File’ series should appeal to you. It’s all about the latest nail trends and new color releases. There’s also all the normal and highly enjoyable makeup hauls and reviews.

Beauty & the Beat is all about beauty lifestyle. Not only are there makeup and fashion tips, there’s also quite a bit of yoga and exercise in the mix.

Pretty Connected is (unsurprisingly, given the name) run by a marketing and beauty expert: Lara Eurdolian. She has lended her talents to big names in the industry as NARS and Avon. Most of the content here is keeping up with the latest releases and rounding up favorites. All reviews are relatively short and easy to digest. One unique feature of this blog is that there’s plenty of insider details, such as launch parties and collaborations.
Pretty in Pigment
Visit the Website: http://www.prettyinpigment.com
Pretty in Pigment is a plus sized fashion and beauty blog curated by Sahily Perez. If you want some style inspiration Sahily has all the OOTDs and seasonal looks you’ll need. It’s lighter than most of the blogs on this list when it comes to makeup and skincare. However, that doesn’t diminish its immense value. It can be difficult to imagine and put together outfits, so why not have someone else do it for you?
The Beauty Isle
Visit the Website: http://www.thebeautyisle.com
The Beauty Isle is almost like a stroll through the cosmetics section of a beauty store. Beauty subscription boxes, new releases and monthly favorites are the main starts here. One refreshing thing about all the reviews on this blog is the honesty of all opinions, good or bad, on products. The tone is casual and relatable, probably due to blog writer El’s sincere enthusiasm for beauty.

Rosanne Tang started this beauty blog as a way to instill confidence in herself. What started out as a personal source of inspiration has turned into a full time career and business.
Madeleine Loves
Visit the Website: http://madeleineloves.com
This blog is one of the funniest beauty blogs I’ve come across. Really, it feels a lot less like a list of benefits and cons to products and more like chatting with an eccentric friend. Madeleine has been featured in Marie Claire and a few minutes browsing through will tell you exactly why.
Fashion. Style. Beauty.
Visit the Website: http://fashionstylebeauty.com/
Kristin Booker, author and creator of Fashion. Style. Beauty. since 2009 is an inspiration. She started this blog at a time when her life was on a downward trend and completely turned her life around. She emphasizes beauty as self care and we couldn’t agree more.
