At R29, we're often in awe of beauty pros — the hairstylists, manicurists, and makeup artists who regularly wow us with their incredible talent. But, what about the rest of us — the people who never went to beauty school? After all, most of us aren't born knowing how to plait perfectly or manage a tidy manicure. Heck, if you're not a natural artiste, even getting cream blush right can be tough.

And, that's okay — everyone's gotta start somewhere, right? With that in mind, we present Beauty Prep School, our all-new series of video tutorials. We'll show you how to learn the basics (and some not-so-basics, too) in hair, makeup, and nails. Easy to follow, easy to master — they're all you need to build up a serious beauty repertoire. Check out our inaugural group of videos, and stay tuned for more how-to goodness comin' your way.

Trend Takeout is a quick-and-easy, copy-and-repeatable guide to the season's top trends.

So much more than celebs, R29 Entertainment crawls the world and the web for the critically cool in media, film, TV, red carpet, and more...all beyond the buzz.

There are some truly crazy-cool (and just plain crazy) beauty products out there. But, do they actually live up to the hype? In the Beauty Test Lab, we test the latest innovative, high-tech, and just plain weird products to see if and how they work IRL.

A special series where we send our editors out into the field for some hard-hitting journalism. Okay — it's mostly weird stuff, but you'll still like it.

Dying to take the season's best 'dos for a spin? Love the latest makeup trends from the runways? Tune in to Insta-Makeover, where our pros will teach you exactly how to DIY the gorgeous hair and makeup trends that everyone is talking about right now.

From workplace antics to our sillier beauty fare, this is the stuff we do for the lulz.
