Then, one day instead of demonstrating their nudes on a light to medium skin tone model; they utilized a model with a gorgeous deep, ebony skin hue. Our analysis? MAC’s nude lipglass products have great range on women of color from light to deep.

We pried a little further and find that many professional MUAs (makeup artists) actually suggest two of MAC Cosmetics lipglass tones. MAC Lipglass in Steel Kiss as well as Very Go Lightly. Furthermore, the photo at the outset of this article shows a makeup look created on a model using a mixture of both Steel Kiss and Very Go Lightly.

Beauty Trends: Glass Nails – Even Cinderella Would Give These a Try!

ArianneUpdated on June 5, 2018June 5, 2018

If Cinderella didn’t ask for a Prince, but rather a night off and a dress. Then perhaps she didn’t really want the slippers either! Glass nails are making a strong comeback; however, they have been slightly remixed for the new age.

For instance, back in 2015, shattered glass nails slid into the nail art realm like a hurricane. Overnight the look took off until it just suddenly and swiftly disappeared. Like the clock struck twelve and the fun was over.

Nevertheless, now the glass look is receiving a bit of a beauty revival. Instead of a broken vibe, nails are more modern and fresh by staying simple and lucid. The goal is for the nail to be long, shaped and crystal clear to peer through.

Beauty Trends: Glass Nails – Even Cinderella Would Give These a Try

Is it really made out of glass? Like in the past, even now people wonder about this particular nail style. Nonetheless, the answer is simply nada. No, the nails are not really made out of real glass.

If they were, they would be extremely heavy; most likely, straining the actual nail. Also, don’t even get us started on the type of pain one would endure if it broke! Glass nails are just regular acrylic nails.

Would you like to see a demonstration on how this type of nail design is created? We thought you might! Check out and enjoy the short tutorial below.
