I Got My 12-Year-Old IUD Taken Out To Get A New One Put In, And Here’s What Happened
If you've ever read any of my past articles, you may be thinking, Wait a minute, aren't you that girl that got pregnant with an IUD?! Well, lol, yeah that's me. But my IUD pregnancy ended up being ectopic (or in my Fallopian tube). I decided not to have that IUD removed during surgery because my odds of getting pregnant would still be the same — and likely higher — on any other form of birth control. IUDs are one of the most effective forms of birth control, with over 99% effectiveness. TBH, though, the main reason I kept it is that the Paragard is the only hormone-free, long-term form of birth control on the market — and I don't do well with hormones.

People Are Sharing Tips That Make Shaving Your Butthole Easier, So We Had An Expert Weigh In
In addition, Dr. Puza said that often times people are over-aggressive when shaving sensitive areas, like the anus. "Over-aggressive shaving, either too often or incorrectly done, can lead to irritation and acne-like bumps in that area," he said. So, be gentle!!!
Remember, shaving is a risk for infection, bleeding, scarring. Dr. Puza said, "Folliculitis is a small collection of infections and are one of the risks of shaving your butt. Another risk is hemorrhage. The skin of the anus and butt is extremely vascular. A sharp object can do a tremendous amount of damage to that area. Similarly, if bleeding is a risk, so is scarring. Any time that the skin is injured and the wound is deep enough, you run the risk of causing a scar to form. And, all of these risks are increased if you can’t see what you are doing, so use a mirror!"

I Tried Bella Hadid's "Face Workout" And It Was Very Weird, But Good I Think...?
Kelly brought out this thing — kinda like a ninja throwing star, only for your face — that they call the Multi-Sculpt. It has six edges, each for a different specific use. Here's how FaveGym broke it down on their website:
Long Edge: De-puffs, contours, aids lymphatic drainage
Grip: Sculpts, aids lymphatic drainage, releases tension
Medium Edge: Aids lymphatic drainage, sculpts, and defines cheekbones
Teeth: Increases circulation, plumps out fine lines, and stimulates collagen and elastin production
Short Edge: Lifts, de-puffs the eye area, and releases eyebrow tension
Tip: Reduces facial tension
This thingy felt good and would totally be great to use on yourself if you have sinus problems! Like the Face Ball, it's also pretty tough to break.
My rating: 7/10

8 Black-Owned Beauty Products BuzzFeed's Beauty Director Thinks You Should Shop This Holiday
So let's skip the small talk. This 15 ml bottle of eye serum costs $147. It's from a luxury skincare brand, Epara, and its market are people who choose to invest a bigger buck in their cosmetics. I knew when I opened the thick, embossed box and found the glass bottle perfectly sitting upright in the center, almost like a royal crest on display at a museum, that the price tag would be hefty. And as a woman in my 30s more intentional about consuming luxury and more intentional about what I put in and on my body, I LOVE THIS FOR US!
Before we even get into the performance of the product (spoiler alert: it's great!), there's a void of luxury created by Black people and marketed to Black people in both the fashion and beauty space. There's long been this notion that Black consumers devalue luxury brands, when in reality research shows that high-fashion brands benefit from increased brand awareness, relevance and sales when Black celebrities, often hip-hop artists, verbally nod the brands or collaborate with them. According to a 2017 essay by Business of Fashion, Gucci's Dapper Dan collaboration drove brand searches "across the e-commerce sites Lyst aggregates." The essay also reports that Virgil Abloh’s Off-White became "the third-hottest fashion brand in the world in Q3," while "the massive 217 percent spike in searches for Christian Louboutin shoes since June is attributed to [Cardi B's] 'red bottoms, bloody shoes' hit 'Bodak Yellow.'" And in recent years, we've seen more luxe Black fashion designers, like LaQuan Smith and Pyer Moss' Kerby Jean-Raymond, get the mainstream attention they deserve.
Beauty, however, seems to be lagging behind fashion in this regard. Makeup artist of all makeup artists Pat McGrath made huge waves with the launch of Pat McGrath LABS, her namesake makeup line which is significantly more expensive than a lot of competing brands. But there's still a lot of room for more luxury Black-owned beauty. Brands like Epara aren't just a symbol of how far Black creators have come in the disproportionately white luxury space, but they're absolutely essential for inclusion and equity! So yes, I enthusiastically welcome Black-owned brands that make tiny bottles of serum that cost more than my groceries for the week.
Now onto the product: It's the bomb dot com, y'all! The top is also an eye drop applicator, so as you twist it off the serum goes into the narrow cylinder tube and is ready for application. The dropper fills up, but I never use the full amount. I've had it about two months now, using it in the morning and at night, and the bottle is still close to full. At this rate, I could easily see the product lasting close to a year. I apply a dab to each under eye and gently pat it in. It's a fine formula that spreads with ease and absorbs in an instant. The founder, Ozohu Adoh, sources her organic ingredients from Africa to maximize effectiveness. The Eye Serum's key ingredients are plankton extract for hyperpigmentation, bamboo silk for sebum absorption, and ash tree bark extract for under eye bags, shadows and dark circles. I can already feel that my under eyes are more bouncy and hydrated. I don't really struggle with dark circles so I can't speak to the results there, but I have noticed that my under eye area looks more radiant and bright — more awake if that makes sense. I truly love everything about the product: the ingredients, the story and the experience.
Get it from Epara for $147. Also available in 7 ml size for $77.

As I started gaining followers, I noticed that most people wanted to know how to do their nails with what they already had around their house," she said. "I started looking up different ways to do so, and that led to my 'doing my nails with random things' segment on TikTok."
"So far, I've done my nails with a toothbrush, drinking straws, toilet paper, corn starch, baby powder, leaves, Scotch tape, Oreos — and the list goes on."

People Are Showing Off Their Biggest Tattoo Regrets (And I'm Honestly Impressed)
"I took one for the team. My friend that has done tattoos for my whole family and does them well. His shop had an invite-only party for his best clients, so my brother, his wife, and I were invited. A week before the party, his team had given us a flash sheet of tattoos to pick from. The party itself was nice, everyone was sober, and we all knew what tattoos we wanted.
Well, there were two other artists there besides my friend. I personally asked if my homie would do mine, as I dislike the woman that works for him. My sister-in-law ended up with her instead, and I went to sit with my homie.
Then she starts telling my SIL that she won't do the tattoo that SIL had picked because it sucks and tried pressuring her to get something she didn't want. I ended up trading spots with her, and my SIL got a cute, delicate clover on her collarbone. I got a fucking cabbage-ass flower. The artist was so rude. I'll get it covered, though a part of me thinks it's funny." —r4732565ca

I Tried 10 Popular Tips To Grow Out My Hair And Here's What Actually Works
This is good to keep in mind for those of us obsessed with flat or curling irons and blow dryers and treatments. No matter how great your hair looks in the moment, there's bound to be some long-term damage if you overdo it — so at least use a heat protector (like this HSI one, $14.89 on Amazon).
I used my blow-dryer to style my hair almost daily even when it was bad, I was just mindful while using it. Plus, I love to curl or wave my hair. While there's definitely some breakage, it's nothing overt.
OFC, if you're using constant and high heat on really brittle hair, you may want to lay off. Plus, with air-drying curl enhancers ($36 on Hair Story), sea-salt sprays ($26.24 for a Bumble & Bumble version on Amazon), and restyling sprays ($44 on Amazon for Oribe's), you can ditch the heat dependency and really embrace your natural hair.
Final Thoughts: I mean, 100% yes, if you're curling or straightening your hair to the point where it's breaking, then avoid heat products. Otherwise, use them at your own discretion and comfort — with a touch of common sense.

If you start developing redness and sensitivity, you may be developing an allergic contact dermatitis or an irritant contact dermatitis to the ingredients, and I recommend you see a dermatologist for evaluation. If, however, you develop open sores and crusting, then that is a sign of potential infection," she added.

I Tried Three Popular Fake-Tanning Products And Here's The Best One
Color: Under certain lights, I did feel like it had an orange tint. However, in natural lighting, like in the photo above, the tan looked pretty natural.
Coverage: This had good coverage with very minimal streaking. Even though the directions said to rinse, I did feel like it washed off a little too much of the tan. (After it's applied, it dries but is sticky to the touch. I was able to wear a robe while it dried, and I actually ended up leaving it on for three hours before I rinsed it off.)
Smell: It reminds me of a good-smelling shampoo. It definitely does not have that unpleasant, distinct smell that most fake tans have. BIG PLUS!
Days it lasted: The tan gradually got lighter, but I would say that around the fifth or sixth day, it was pretty much completely faded.
Price: $21.95 for a 4.9-ounce bottle on Amazon.

These Are The Top Tricks Celebrities Use To Prevent Wrinkles And Aging
Starting with the most important factor, "what you put in your body" to help your skin, Candace said the key is incorporating fresh, colorful foods. "A diet rich in antioxidants, omega acids, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals will allow for the skin to glow from within," she said. Her top favorites are berries, bell peppers, broccoli, green tea, avocados, fatty fish, and dark chocolate. (Below is a breakdown of what she says each is most beneficial for.)
In detail, Candace explained, "Some of my favorite foods for healthy, glowing skin are berries and bell peppers, which are high in antioxidants and vitamin C, crucial for the formation of collagen! Broccoli, packed with zinc known for its skin-healing properties along with a compound called sulforaphane, is known to help prevent cancer. Green tea is high in antioxidants, which help neutralize free radical damage, it's also incredibly anti-inflammatory — inflammation is something we always want to reduce within the body, since it can be directly linked to several skin conditions, accelerated aging, and even cancers. Avocados, packed with healthy fats known for keeping our skin moisturized, young, and flexible. Fatty fish, like salmon, keep the skin thick, moisturized, and supple. Dark chocolate is even considered to be a part of a healthy skin diet, keep it 70% cocoa or higher, which maximizes the chocolate's health benefits and tends to be lower in sugar. Cocoa is known for its high antioxidant content and ability to aid in healthy blood flow, which keeps us glowing."

Here's How Many Layers Of Foundation You Need To Wear For The SPF In It To Be Effective
"As far as SPF and makeup, as a professional and educational artist, I prefer makeup products with very little to no SPF in them. I believe you should be wearing an SPF on a day-to-day basis, but for special events — or anytime you will be photographed, especially using a flash — SPF should be avoided," she added.

This Scary Story Of How A Girl Found Out She Has Two Uteruses Truly Left Me Speechless
She also said that after she posted her TikTok (see below), people were confused as to why she bled so much in the first place since her periods are normal now. "Basically, the first year of having my periods, I was only bleeding from one of my uteruses. The second uterus was shedding blood, but it was not draining properly as it should. Essentially, the blood in one uterus was being blocked up and stored because it had no way to get out. Eventually, the uterus became so full that the opening finally burst and all the blood came out at once," she explained.
Since then, Emma has had a minor surgery to expand her uterus opening so it can properly drain every month.

10 Small Ways To Reconnect With Your Partner (That Aren't Sex)
Binging a great show together is a top-tier couple activity, but when you're already staying in so much, it can be easy to make it your go-to activity together. And even though you're maybe both offering up commentary and cuddling throughout, it can be difficult to fully connect.
Enter: No-TV nights, where you put on some music and eat dinner in a designated spot (that's not, as Esther Perel says, pushing your work stuff slightly out of the way.) It'll give you the chance to break any monotony in your routine and focus a little more on each other.

This Woman Went Viral For Being A PhD Student By Day And A Go-Go Dancer By Night
Danielle decided to share her school/work life on TikTok to her 44 followers at the time, but never imagined it would go as viral as it did. "If I would have known that many people were going to see it, I would have put a bit more thought into my word choice! Based on the comments, though, the majority of the viewers seem to be picking up what I’m trying to get across – empowerment and breaking stigmas. Far too often, our actions and self-perceptions are (un)consciously influenced by societal constructs and expectations. We are more than what any label can define us as; whether it be in regards to our gender, age, race, sexual orientation, or career. Yes, I’m a scientist, but that’s not all of who I am," she said.

"In all honesty, I’m not sure I’d manage without having dance as an outlet. Not only is it fun and exhilarating after a full week of (potentially failed) experiments, but it enables me to make payments on my student loans which relieves a lot of my anxiety. However, managing my time and energy has taken some practice. At first, I was concerned that my dancing would suffer since I prioritize my research, but I realized it didn’t because I enjoy it so much. I also can’t neglect the fact that I rely on my go-go friends for help. Whether it’s covering my shift last minute because an experiment is taking longer than expected or providing me with the lip color or hair piece that I forgot – they’re always there to support and help me," she added.

I Got Pregnant With An IUD That Was Perfectly In Place
Me: I know there are many options on the market, but is there one that is deemed the "safest" overall?
Minkin: If somebody wants absolutely no side effects whatsoever, a condom, contraceptive foam, or a diaphragm are very safe. They have no hormones and no gadgets – but, the problem is they have a higher failure rate. If you use them, knowing you will get a first trimester abortion if they fail, there have been statistical papers that say this is the safest method of contraception. The problem with this is it puts you through the emotional issues of having an unplanned pregnancy, which is a significant emotional issue for many people. In addition, most people don't want the inconvenience of using a barrier method and having to use it every time.
I would say birth control or IUDs with low levels of hormones can offer lighter periods and less cramps. There are all sorts of pluses and minuses as far as what is the best for you. You should talk to your doctor about what contraceptive is best for your needs. There is not one method that I can say is the best or the safest, BUT, what I can say, is that all methods are really quite safe.

This Woman Made A Behind-The-Scenes TikTok Of What Employees Do With Returned Products At Ulta
Bianca Ann Levinson has been an Ulta employee in Wichita Falls, Texas for over a year. And, she recently decided to share a video on TikTok about how most product returns are handled:
BuzzFeed spoke to Bianca who said she posted the video to spread awareness about what really happens to returned products. "I was truly shocked that this is how returns were handled," she explained. In the video, Bianca uses scissors to scrape unused eye shadow off of a palate and into the trash.
Bianca is also seen pouring out a full bottle of Redken hair product. "I wanted people to realize that when they return things it’s not always put back on the shelf. They should reconsider before returning items they purchased. I understand some people have to return things, but – if it’s not necessary – then I don't believe they should return it," she said.
Discarding returned products is called "damaging out" in the industry, and Bianca said that when she first got the job she had a hard time doing it to so many products – like the brand new Kylie Lip Kit she had to ruin in the video. "As time went on, I learned why it had to be done and it didn’t bother me as much. The main reason why things are damaged out is because of the possibility of cross contamination. If a seal is broken – even if it is unused – we have to either destroy it, send it back to the vendor, or send to DC where it can properly be discarded," she said.
Bianca also said there are dumpster divers who try to sell products they find in the trash online or return them to the store for credit. "If someone sells product out of the trash, it opens up the chance of someone getting sick or an infection and possibly suing Ulta," she said, adding, "We can’t donate for the same reason. Most brands don't allow it either. Ulta cares a lot about their customers and wants to do their best to keep them safe."
"When I work the register, I can honestly say about 45% of the people who come in that day are returning things. About 30% of the product returns are able to be put back on the shelf and the other 70% have to be damaged out and properly taken care of. We most definitely have over $1,000 worth of returned items per week. One time I had a customer come in and return more than $300 worth of makeup that had to all be thrown out," Bianca said.
What Bianca said is done to returned products at Ulta is a common practice. "I don’t want people to come for Ulta and stop going at all. I want people to know that stores like Sephora, Bath and Body Works, Target, Walmart and many others all have to do the same, too."
reddit.com
"If I had a say so in what could happen, I would like to donate things like hygiene products to women’s and men’s shelters. I know that we can’t because of the risk of infection and cross contamination, but if we could find a way to sterilize some products somehow, it would be worth a try," Bianca added.
Overall, Bianca loves being an employee at Ulta. The main message she wants people to take away from her video is to think before purchasing something...and think before returning it. You can lower the amount of wasted product returns at places like Ulta by asking for makeup samples to test out before purchasing them.
BuzzFeed has reached out to Ulta for comment.

How to Make Your Bras Look Better and Last Longer
Who really has the time to handwash their delicates? Scrubbing your bras in the bathroom sink can take a backseat to life’s other obligations. Good news: Machine-washing your bras is totally allowed. “The day that I‘ll handwash my bras, I will have nothing else to do in my life,” Lawson says.
To prevent your bras (both everyday and sports bras) from getting tangled and mangled with other clothes, make sure the hooks are clasped and place your bras in a lingerie bag before tossing them in the washer. Set the water temperature to “warm” (not hot, not cold) and use a gentle laundry detergent that doesn’t contain chlorine or bleach. Let the washer run on the gentle or delicate cycle.
And for those dead-set on hand-washing, where are you getting all this free time? Anyway, fill up your sink with cool water and a small amount of detergent and fully submerge your bras. Let them soak for a few minutes before rinsing with fresh, cool water.
For everyday bras, give them a wash after every two to three wearings to remove all the skin cells, sweat, and other oils your body produces. Yes, it’s a hefty ask, but your bras will thank you later. Sports bras can get away with a wash after every use, but keep in mind the stress that washing puts on the spandex. To avoid a full wash, you can rinse the bra with warm water and let it line-dry in between workouts.

Here Are Answers To 17 Questions You Secretly Want To Know About Marriage
1. Q: "How do you know if you're with the person you're meant to spend your life with?" —minstrels
A: I think some people have a moment where they KNOW they found 'the one' and some don't. I don't think this means one marriage is going to last over the other. I actually never had that moment because I am someone who always has hesitations — no matter what — because I overthink things. Even if someone was scientifically matched to be my perfect person, I would still question it.
My husband always says that looks and attraction will never get you through an entire marriage. And it's true. I think a lot of people hold certain things — like looks — to a higher standard than they should when they look for a partner to marry. That stuff is not going to matter when real-life issues arise. Can your personalities coexist on a daily basis, are you able to rely on this person, and can you truly trust them? These are the types of things that are more important at the end of the day. Also, are you willing to put their needs before your own and make sacrifices in your life for them?
Lastly, another important thing to ask yourself is: Does this person inspire me? Because you eventually start taking on some of the same habits as your partner — even if you don't realize it. So, you really want to be with someone who is going to push you to be better and inspire you to live your fullest life.

I Tried The Most Viral TikTok Workouts For 30 Days, And Here's What Happened
Hi, guys, I'm Farrah! Like many of you, I love spending time watching TikTok. Some might call it an addiction, but I call it entertainment. After coming across many different ~viral~ TikTok workouts that could be done from home, I thought, I should get my ass up off my couch and try this. So I decided to chronicle my 30-day* journey for you, the internet.
Full disclosure: I wanted to do this because February is always a rough month for me. It's the anniversary of my dad's death, and often I find myself doing nothing but watching TV on my couch, so I wanted to start fresh in March. I was excited for the time change (more daylight!), and working out has always helped improve my mental health. So I found three TikToks that looked nonintimidating (I'm not a fitness guru here) and made myself a set of rules.
Farrah Penn / BuzzFeed
By the way, I'm not getting paid to promote any of these products. I bought them all with my own money except for the Goli gummies, which were sent to me to try free of charge — all opinions are 100% my own. I didn't change the way I would normally eat, though, because losing weight wasn't my goal. I did try my best to eat nutritious meals, but I ended up making boxed brownies three different times. No regrets.
The three TikToks I decided to go with were based on virality and diversity of the workout routine. @User392726user provided an ab routine, @alyssa.g.ross came through with legs, and @blogilates (who I believe is actually a certified fitness instructor) helped me out with some cardio.
I'm going to link each of their TikToks below, but I ended up writing out the routines for easier viewing. The circuits look like this:
Farrah Penn / BuzzFeed
The abs TikTok actually recommended doing the circuit twice, but I ended up doing it three times. You can definitely customize these for what works for you!
For easier viewing ability, here is the first TikTok (Set 1):
Here is the second TikTok (Set 2):
And the third TikTok (Set 3):
I know her description says "fat loss," but that wasn't my personal goal. I wanted a circuit that involved a lot of cardio exercises, and this fit the bill.
I started Week 1 with an optimistic mindset, but in reality it was...exhausting. Whenever I start a new workout routine or lifestyle change, it's a bigger adjustment than I realize. By the time I finished all three workout circuits, my body was tired. I was sore the next day. And the day after. But! I persisted.
Farrah Penn / BuzzFeed
My unamused face post-workout on Day 1, and my workout area in my apartment.
After my first week, I realized I needed to replace squat jumps and jumping lunges with mountain climbers and jumping jacks instead. It was too hard on my knees, and I didn't want to injure myself. The replacement exercises allowed me to keep my heart rate up, since the third circuit was more of a cardio routine.
Farrah Penn / BuzzFeed
Squats with leg raise (left) and jumping jacks.
Week 2 was my last "outdoors" weekend before social distancing began in Los Angeles. I spent one of my cardio days hiking, and the other was spent running 3 miles at the gym. I knew I was getting a pretty good workout with the TikTok exercises because I worked up a SWEAT every time I finished each circuit.
Farrah Penn / BuzzFeed
Me on the floor after a workout, feelin' like I could probably take a nap.
My dog, Gizmo, was very interested in what I was doing every time I got on my mat. I liked to think of him as my coach, pushing me to do JUST ONE MORE!!!!!! The ab circuit was beginning to grow on me, and the leg circuit was becoming my least favorite because of the difficulty. Legs have never been my favorite, though!
I started 100% indoor self-isolating routines by Week 3. The only thing that really changed were my two days of cardio. I ended up running 3 miles around my neighborhood for one of the days, and the other was spent jumping rope and doing mountain climbers plus jumping jacks for 45 minutes. I haven't jumped rope since third grade, probably, and forgot how hard it is! I was SO WINDED!!!!
My sluggishness started to fade completely during the end of Week 3. I was feeling good, both physically and mentally. I also felt better about bingeing shows if I was working out/stretching versus sitting on my couch. Also, I'm not sure if this was due to the TikTok circuits, the Seed probiotics, or the apple cider gummies, but I felt less bloated in the mornings, which was an improvement.
Farrah Penn / BuzzFeed
One upside: Running let me explore new streets in my neighborhood that I'd never been down before. Also, don't forget to wear a mask/banana/some kind of face cover!
I felt like I'd gotten into the groove by Week 4 and realized that if I'm going to be self-isolated indoors for another month, I have to do something active every day. Even if it's something as simple as stretching! Gizmo continued to join me during my floor workouts, which mayyyyybe got 5% easier.
Farrah Penn / BuzzFeed
Russian twists pictured above!
By the end of the month, I wasn't like, "THANK GOD THIS IS OVER WITH." I realized which exercises I would continue (abs, most of the cardio) and which I would leave behind (walking crab squats). If anything, this month introduced me to different exercises to try that maybe I wouldn't have done before.
Farrah Penn / BuzzFeed
Plank jacks pictured above!
After 30 days, I noticed that my face felt less "puffy" and bloated. I know the angles aren't perfect in the pictures, but I can see and feel a difference. I have a feeling this has to do with 1) increasing my cardio workouts and 2) omitting alcohol from my diet.
Farrah Penn / BuzzFeed
But who knows? It could also be because I included the Seed probiotic in my vitamin routine. Or was it the apple cider vinegar vitamins? A combination of everything, maybe?
Since I wasn't on a strict diet, there wasn't exactly a huge ending ~transformation.~ The ab circuit was the only thing that gave me a bit more definition, and all three of the workouts felt like they helped improve my pelvic-floor tilt/posture. However, the biggest and most important change was in the way I felt mentally, which is why I highly recommend doing at least 30 minutes of any type of indoor activity during self-isolation — it doesn't have to be TikTok workouts!
When I started the month, I had no idea the coronavirus would spread so quickly and that we'd end up self-isolating. These 30 days showed me that even though fitness studios and gyms are closed, you can still make the best of things by staying active at home in whatever way makes sense for you. It's helped me stay in a good headspace, so I hope that if you decide to try something like this, it helps you, too!

This Facebook Group Is Creating A Safe Space For Black Men And Their Grooming Habits
When you think about grooming and beauty habits, you may not automatically think about men (sorry, fellas). A lot of the beauty industry, including products, videos, and overall content, tends to skew toward women, often leaving men, nonbinary people, and countless other groups off the table. However, companies and brands that dismiss men are leaving a LOT of money on the table: The men’s beauty market is only growing, with projected sales of $67 billion in 2020 alone.
So, what are men to do?
Brandon Patton and Evan Alexander wanted to have not only a safe space where Black men could discuss grooming and challenging cultural norms, but a community that could educate others on how to properly care for facial hair. "Being a Black man in America, I have to worry about what image my beard creates, so growing a beard takes a lot of self-confidence,” Patton told BuzzFeed. The two began the Facebook group Black Men’s Beard VIP in 2015, a men's “online grooming salon” that allows its 4,000-plus active members to share tips, discover self-care for Black masculinity and identity, and rebel against Black facial hair stereotypes.
Read on to learn more about how the two started this cool community and what they hope this adds to the larger beauty conversation.

In your own words, can you tell us a bit about Black Men's Beard VIP and why you started the FB group?
BP: "I didn't see anyone on social media who spoke our language, catered to our needs, and who could relate to us about growing a healthy beard. There wasn't space for men to be vulnerable and learn about self-love. So I decided to create a place of solace for men to feel comfortable being themselves and embrace it."
Grooming has been seen as a "woman" thing, even though men do care about their skincare (and their beards!). How does the FB group destigmatize beauty standards across genders, but also age, race, socioeconomic background, etc.?
"We focus on being our greatest selves. The people in our group see grooming as part of their process and journey to become their best self and people want to be great regardless of age, race, and socioeconomic backgrounds."
Tanya Constantine / Getty Images
Black hair, in particular, is seen through a very narrow and oftentimes problematic lens in society. Facial hair is no exception. As a Black man, can you discuss the importance of having a platform like this to discuss what's happening on a larger scale, but also how acts of discrimination and prejudices affect the individual?
"Our Black Men’s Beard Facebook group serves as a safe place for men of color growing or beginning their beard journey. It provides a network of support, with understanding and empathy for men. This safe space is important because it allows members to seek advice, have unfiltered conversations, and connect without the worry of meeting Eurocentric beliefs."
What are some of the stereotypes that have been placed on you or others because of your facial hair? How do you work to break those down? Are those situations where race is the only factor, and is your FB group exclusive to Black men?
"The prejudgments or prejudice associated with being a bearded man of color are vast. For some, the prejudgments are instilled in them in the home — having heard the groans of older generations perpetuating Eurocentric beliefs by asking the younger generation to assimilate with mainstream society by shaving or cutting their beard, with the hopes that this act of adaptation will provide a more respectable and accepted image. However, people are flawed with unconscious biases.
For example, the presence of a beard could cause someone to be intimidated or think that someone is unapproachable, causing them to prematurely draw conclusions such as 'He doesn’t fit the company culture' or 'He seemed aggressive.' These assumptions or unconscious biases are damaging and hurtful. It can inhibit one’s corporate ascension or delay opportunities. It could also lead some to believe that they are not worthy or good enough as they are.

Our Facebook group is open to anyone who requests to join the group. However, the majority of our members are men of color.
Understand everyone’s story is unique, so embrace yourself and your beard!"
Alright, so let's talk about some of the good content we can find on the page!
"On our page, you can find a plethora of beard care tips. You will also find our fitness videos that men do at home; seven-day fruit fast challenges to encourage healthier beards, skin, and hair; and different smoothie recipes men can create at home."
What are your favorite beard tips? We need to know how to grow and keep a flourishing and healthy beard!
"I recommend these simple core tips. 1) Use beard care tools to grow a healthier beard. 2) Do a beard scrub 1–2 times per week. 3) Hydrate your beard with a beard hydrator. 4) Detox your beard once a week, once per month, or once every three months to improve the skin underneath your beard. 5) Eat as healthy as possible to nourish your beard."

You also mention that the page isn't JUST about beards, but also taps into conversations like Black manhood and masculinity, etc. Can you discuss how the two worlds are created and how you're using grooming as a way to have some of these bigger conversations within and outside of the Black community?
"Yes, our group isn't just about beards. It's about being responsible for yourself, family, and your community. This level of mentality requires accountability, consistent action, and personal growth. We practice these values through self-care and self-love when we groom ourselves.
We often take for granted the process of grooming and how much of an impact it can have on people's lives in our communities. If you can take consistent action with taking care of yourself, you can transfer that behavior to your family and throughout your community."

If you wanna try these methods, a peel-off barrier ($14) will help keep things clean.

You'll need some nail tape ($3.75) to get those crisp lines.

5. A guide to using tape to get nice crisp lines for your checkered design. Former ska kids rejoice!

The tutorial suggests tape to keep the polish off your skin, but the previously mentioned peel-off barrier works even better.

This one is for more advanced nail artists! It's sorta like watercoloring your nails.

This one looks challenging, but I believe in you!

Start with a metallic base count, add your Sharpie designs, and make them swirl with a little help from some rubbing alcohol.
18. A glittery rainbow-tipped look that's all sorts of wonderful. Also wonderful? The artist's husband narrates the tutorial.
19. Or a different rainbow design that's so adorable, you may never stop squealing over it.
Best of all, this is a no-tools tutorial. You just need a looooot of colors.
20. Simple but instantly recognizable Pokéball nails that any aspiring trainer would be happy to show off.
You'll need a steady hand and some nail tape ($3.75) for this one.

You can get the ear shapes using the head of match and then make the smaller details with a needle or tiny paintbrush.

This method involves a lot of tools, so it might be best for expert nail artists who already have a full arsenal at their disposal.
23. A neon lightning bolt idea for anyone who wants something flashy.
Once again, tape is going to be your friend here. Once you get those in place, you can throw on polish with reckless abandon.

This design would also look good without the tape design, imo.
25. And breakfast-inspired art for truly egg-cellent looking nails.
Eggs are super easy to paint because they're basically just white blobs with yellow dots in them.

16 Easy Tips For Anyone Who's Stressed Out By The Whole Idea Of Makeup
We hope you love the products we recommend! Just so you know, BuzzFeed may collect a share of sales or other compensation from the links on this page. Oh, and FYI — prices are accurate and items in stock as of time of publication.
1. Instead of just water, which might interfere with your makeup coverage and thin it out, use a hydrating face mist to dampen your makeup sponge for a dewy look and smooth blending. No streaks or unevenness here!

A licorice facial mist brightens and evens skin tone with licorice water, while moisturizing with bamboo water and centella asiatica leaf water so you get all of those benefits when using this in tandem with your makeup! Rosewater is another popular option, as it balances and soothes skin with herbal extracts and refreshes your overall look.
Get the licorice facial mist from Soko Glam for $24 and the rosewater mist from Amazon for $12.
2. Similarly, use those same hydrating face mists to spritz your face in between makeup layers to keep your makeup seamless and smooth instead of cakey and powdery (a beauty nightmare 😳).
3. When you're looking tired or you have no time for perfect eyeliner, line your lower eyelids with a shimmery gold, bronze, or nude eyeliner for a quick way to spruce up your eyes. It's a simple hack to open them up and brighten your eye area, making you look less tired and more awake!

The shimmer or slight glitter will also catch the light, making your peepers seem brighter.
Get the MacQueen gel liner from Yesstyle for $3.16, and the rest from Ulta:
—the CoverGirl Exhibitionist eyeliner in Gold Metallic for $9.99
— the NYX Jumbo eye pencil in Sparkle Nude for $3.15
—the CoverGirl TruNaked Shadow Stick in Lush for $9.99
4. Trying to get symmetrical wings for a winged eyeliner look takes up hours and way too much effort — use an eyeliner stamp instead to save time and get perfect wings. Your time is precious!
Amazon, Amazon / Via amazon.com
You can get the set of two eyeliner stamps pictured above (one for each eye) from Amazon for $14.97.
5. Winged eyeliner in general is known to be notoriously hard. An easy hack: use a gel pencil liner instead to quickly slide over your lids and voilà: you've got your peepers lined for the day. It's quick and doesn't have to be so precise like liquid liner.
@3ce_official / Via instagram.com
Plus, there's no drying time so you can rub away or draw over it if you make a mistake. And contrary to popular belief, you don't always need to flick the edges and create wings!
Try a Rimmel eye pencil to recreate the look above from Amazon for $4.44.
6. Still want the liquid liner look but afraid of messing up? Layer! Use a gel eye pencil to draw on the liner first so you have a base to follow. If it's imperfect, you can just clean it up and even it out (way easier than with liquid). Then draw over that with liquid liner and you're done!
7. If you want to try metallic eyes, a gel shimmer pencil OR metallic eyeshadow is easier and quicker, rather than liquid glitter eyeshadow, which can be messy and stressful — more so when you're dealing with sparkle!

8. When you have no time to do anything else or a full face feels like work, a quick sweep of blush provides a flushed, healthy glow, brightens your face, and prevents the dry, washed-out look by adding some color to your complexion. You can rock it even when you're wearing no other makeup!
9. When it's too much to put on foundation everyday, opt for a glowy, luminous base cream or moisturizer for a quick skin pick-me-up that evens out your complexion and still hydrates. Even when you're not wearing makeup, you still look bright and fresh.
10. If a traditional highlighter takes too much effort or you want an easier way to accentuate your cheekbones but don’t want to go all-out, use clear lip balm or lip gloss on your cheekbones to catch the light. Rub it on your Cupid's bow, brow bone, anywhere you want to glow!
11. For easy monochromatic looks or if you don't have a matching blush or if you just ran *out* of blush, use cream lipstick! Just tap a few dots on the apples of your cheeks and blend with your fingers or makeup sponge. Ta-da!
@narsissist / Via instagram.com, @etudehouseofficial / Via instagram.com
Use it as eyeshadow too! Take your favorite lipstick and dab the color on your eyelids, lips, and cheeks, and wa'la — with one product, you've gotten a whole monochromatic makeup look!
12. Look for products you can apply with your fingers like BB creams, cream/gel blushes, and cream eyeshadows. Just rub, dab, tap, and go! The heat from your hands helps with natural blending, which saves you the frustration of mastering your sponge/brush technique. Not to mention how much time it saves!
13. We know wearing foundation every day can be a drag. Use BB cream or tinted moisturizer instead to get the same smooth and even-toned look with a more natural finish so you don't feel like you're caking on makeup all the time. Save foundation for special occasions!

14. If you have hooded eyes, keep your eyes open when you're doing any type of eye makeup. Whether you're doing liner or shadow, keeping your eyes open ensures that your makeup won't completely disappear the moment you open your eyes!

Blending shadow above the crease is another way to make sure your eye makeup shows through.
Jennifer Lawrence has hooded eyes but never shies away from bold eye makeup! Notice how her eyeshadow is blended above her natural fold to ensure we can see the color rather than it disappearing.
15. Use a concealer that blends quickly and effectively so it doesn't take up much time. Dab it on, blend with your fingers or a sponge, and you're done! There's no need for complicated applicators or messy powders. Keep your concealer step stress-free!
BuzzFeed
Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind Concealer is a good one for this. Get it from Amazon for $7.97 (available in 12 shades).
16. If it's too stressful to keep track of so many tools and products, use multipurpose makeup or makeup sticks — a do-all product you can use on your eyes, lips, and cheeks!
@milkmakeup / Via instagram.com
Milk Makeup sticks ($15, Sephora) and Stila Convertible Color (Ulta, $25) are famous for this!
Revlon Insta-Blush Stick ($9.98, Amazon), Clinique Chubby Stick Cheek Colour Balm ($25, Sephora), and Benefit Cosmetics Benetint Cheek & Lip Stain ($30, Sephora) are also great all-in-one lip-eye-cheek options!
If you're looking for foundation, Colourpop Foundation Stix (Colourpop, $10) is perf for easy, tools-free coverage.
You ready to take on the day with your new time-efficient stress-free look:
