Everything seemed easy when Castiel landed a job in Lawrence as a literature professor at KU. He even found a place to stay with his cousin in Topeka. But the daily commute quickly gets on his nerves and he begins looking for a room in town. When he finally lucks out on a house, it comes with a catch. His mysterious landlord/housemate works and lives in Topeka during the week, and will only be at home for the weekend while Castiel is back at his cousin’s to honor a promise he made.
When Dean walks into his favorite pie shop, the new sales assistant takes his breath away. Steve is gorgeous, and part of the owner’s family. Dean doesn’t even mind that he picks up Gabriel’s stupid moniker for him. After all, Deano has one syllable more, and Dean will do anything to hear Steve’s voice just a little bit longer.
Though, as breathtaking Steve might be, he isn’t Angel. If only Dean’s book-loving best friend weren’t a mystery in himself — a guy who Dean has only met online, but who has slowly taken his heart away. And it seems that Dean isn’t alone in his feelings.When the lines blur and fantasies merge three guys into one, disappointment and heartbreak seem to be inevitable.

———————–
Designs are no longer available on Redbubble as of April 2023, as they’ve started actively stealing money from artists. Sorry for the inconvenience. You are, as always, encouraged to save these designs to use as icons or in other art, and you are encouraged to print them out and make your own shirts or buttons if you’re able to.
-------------------
The List of neopronouns! Whenever I make a new pronoun pin/icon design from now on, I'm going to make one for every single pronoun set on this list at least.
I am no longer employed because it's past high time I admitted that I can't have a normal job and have an appartment that's livable in, so my twin's income is now our sole source of income. So from now on I'm going to try to make at least 60 new pins a day, since that's the limit for designs you can upload to Redbubble at once, in the hopes that more pins will mean more people are buying them.
If you would like to donate to help out, both my venmo and cashapp usernames are Rjalker! There is also our gofundme here. The Redbubble store is set up so that I get half of the listed price (instead of the default 20%), so if you buy a pin for $6, I get $3, and Redbubble gets the other $3, and same with more expensive products.
As always, if you are buying a pronoun pin from Redbubble that you want to be functional as a pronoun pin, I suggest buying the "large" size, since the "small" size is way too small for people to notice or read easily. You can see an example of how big the "large" pin is here.
If you don't see your pronouns on this list, or would like a specific combination (it/xe for example) or different spellings, please let me know, either in replies, reblogging, sending an ask, or whatever! :)
Any pronouns not on this list that are requested for other designs will also be added to this list so that hopefully nobody gets left out.
Maybe if I find a website that will do it for me, I will figure out how many unique combinations there are of these pronouns in sets of two and make all of them, we'll have to see, lol...
They have been sorted into alphabetical order to help finding them be easier.
Some of these have only just been added while making this post, so they aren't on the newest pin designs yet. That's on my to-do list.
You can request pronouns to be added to this list even if you have no intention of ever buying from my Redbubble store, because the designs will also be free to use for icons and other things! (or if you have a printer and are able to make your own buttons, you can print them out for that, as long as you aren't selling them or claiming the design is your own)
This list will be edited and alphabetized again anytime new ones are added :)
You can also read the list on this google doc with larger font.
Please use my name rather than pronouns
Ask for my pronouns

In depth gig review: ECM at 50: Jazz at Lincoln Center, Rose Theater, November 1, 2019
Tumblr media
In 1969, the landscape of music was changing greatly-- Woodstock was a cultural force, the Beatles released Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, the first Santana album ushered in  a sort of Latin, jazz-rock hybrid, and Americans were reacting strongly to the senselessness of the Vietnam war.  The culture was changing, Eastern religions became a fascination as were mind altering drugs  which helped Westerners gain new perspectives into the universe.  Jazz and improvised music as a whole were changing with the seismic shifts of Miles Davis' Bitches Brew and Emergency by the Tony Williams Lifetime, which preceded the groundbreaking Davis recording by several months.  Jazz-rock, soulful Hammond organ based jazz, and free jazz had all carved their unique paths.  That same year, a new label out of Germany founded by a trained classical bassist named Manfred Eicher, who also had worked at Deutsche Grammophon made waves on the scene.  Edition of Contemporary Music, it's initials commonly mistaken for Eicher Creative Music, or European Classical Music, has arguably changed the face of boundary pushing music more than any other label over the past fifty years. ECM is known for a crystalline recording clarity, frequently found in classical music, a chamber music like focus, and a cinematic bent to albums, akin to film, one of Eicher's passions.
Contrary to popular belief, as journalist and ECM scholar John Kelman has noted, there is not really an “ECM sound”.   Critics of the label have frequently cited the heavy reverberant quality of many recordings as being distant and icy-- rather it would be more appropriate to say that while there are traits and a certain aesthetic that contributes to the label's recordings, there are plenty such as Jan Garbarek's Afric Pepperbird that have a very present immediacy with a fairly dry sound.  ECM helped establish through the recordings of Paul Bley, Chick Corea and especially Keith Jarrett, a new way of looking at solo piano, that has permanently changed the jazz landscape.  ECM brought attention to an entire generation of post Wes Montgomery guitar innovators: Ralph Towner, John Abercrombie, Terje Rypdal, a then relatively unknown prodigy from Lee's Summit Missouri with wild, shoulder length hair and a winning smile named Pat Metheny, sound sculpturist David Torn and Bill Frisell. The label also helped expand on an approach to ride cymbal playing that blended the intricacy of bebop, with a straight eighth note feel that allowed the rhythm to somehow swing and float simultaneously popularized by Norwegian Jon Christensen and Jack DeJohnette.  The label has also explored many cultures from Brazil, North Africa, and most recently Israel.  And last but not least, the label set a new precedent with album art the same way Blue Note, Impulse and CTI had.  Striking text only  or covers with evocative landscape photos with uniform fonts are art pieces in themselves. The sometimes startling 5 seconds of silence that begins each CD, demands that the listener pay close attention to the music within.
On November 1st at Jazz At Lincoln Center's Rose Theater, in the first of two days in New York City, ECM celebrated it's past, present and future.  The two and a half hour concert packed  a dizzying array of ECM and ECM associate artists that provided a concise snapshot of everything that has made the label enduring.  The evening's roster was studded with an impossible array of all stars and label newcomers: Egberto Gismonti, Ravi Coltrane, Larry Grenadier, Avishai Cohen, Enrico Rava, Bill Frisell, Joe Lovano, Shai Maestro, Nik Bartsch, Andrew Cyrille, Anja Lechner, Wadada Leo Smith, Meredith Monk, Vijay Iyer and  Jack DeJohnette among others.  Unlike some retrospective concerts which are quick summations of hits the musicians, allowed between one and three selections in specific configurations, used the pieces as launching pads for exploration, keeping with the label ethos.  There were some notable absences, Pat Metheny, Terje Rypdal, Manfred Eicher himself who could not make the trip, the recently retired Jarrett, Jan Garbarek, and Gary Peacock to name but a few who had such a major impact, but those who were there, more than made up for it.  
Egberto Gismonti, non pareil Brazilian pianist and guitarist who has been a major figure in Brazilian music and guitar, opened the concert on piano and seemingly fit an entire history of Brazilian music styles in relative brevity. Recent label signee, saxophone veteran Joe Lovano, pianist Marilyn Crispell, and drummer Carmen Castaldi who appeared on Trio Fascination earlier this year, gave a spirited rendition of “The Smiling Dog” that found Lovano's breathy, woody, impassioned tenor phrases framed by Crispell's tone clusters and jabs, Castaldi's spattering cymbals, rim clatters, and painterly snare and tom strokes building to a slow burn.  The elongated interpretation added considerably more heat than the version that appeared on the recording.  Vijay Iyer and Wadada Leo Smith built upon their fascinating and excellent duo album A Cosmic Rhythm Within Each Stroke by engaging in an enthralling duet blurring the line between new music and improvisation.  Iyer probed with  a variety of textures from acoustic piano and Fender Rhodes, grounded eighth note pulses freeing the legendary trumpeter, hunkered over in a near squat, bell in microphone to roam with signature legato lines, and carefully considered asides.  Smith straightened from his bent position, and stood stock still with his horn, making the silence count as much as the notes, as Iyer continued to mine abstract shapes and textures, returning from Rhodes to piano.  Smith reached for a golden Harmon mute on the floor, and utilized some amusing wah wah trumpet effects that traveled back to the earliest history of jazz trumpet through a thoroughly post modern prism.  
Bill Frisell and Thomas Morgan reprised Paul Motian's “It Happened A Long Time Ago”, Frisell's trademark neck bending of notes veered them off into space as his solo contained much thoughtful meditations.  Morgan's rich tone and backing brought to mind the sorely missed late Charlie Haden whose label contributions were immeasurable.  Wadada and legendary drummer Andrew Cyrille joined them on stage for two tracks from Cyrille's Declaration of Musical Independence, and besides Smith's sparkling trumpet, and an incredibly attuned Frisell, Cyrille showed exactly why he has been one of the most important figures in jazz with his unmistable ability to color and orchestrate on the drums as if the cymbals and drums were a large canvas.
Over the past few years, ECM has  had a huge Israeli contingent with important albums coming from Avishai Cohen, both in quartet and duo with pianist Yonathan Avishai.  Though the  duo just released the wonderful Playing The Room, the pair appeared as a quartet with bassist Barak Mori and drummer Ziv Ravitz, who replaced Nasheet Waits (playing later in the evening) for an aggressive, power packed “Shoot Me In The Leg”.  Cohen's composition  burst with the energy of New York jazz; it was the kind of performance that could only exist in the post Wynton Marsalis, Young Lions era.  Cohen played with whalloping energy and purpose, occasionally pointing the bell of his horn into the piano to add extra reverberation and resonant qualities.  Ravitz added further heat with well timed explosions.
As mentioned a bit earlier, ECM frequently draws the  line between new music and improvisation.  For those who may be curious reading this review unfamiliar with the term, new music refers to classical music composed by living, modern composers.  Though the pieces can be composed in styles such as romantic, baroque or classical styles, very often new music challenges listeners pushing at the boundaries of form, instrumentation or what music is.  Swiss pianist Nik Bartsch and his bands Ronin and Mobile specialize in a minimalist influenced form called ritual groove music.  Bartsch carries on a tradition of minimalism at ECM most famously espoused by Steve Reich and (to an extent) Meredith Monk,.  With Ronin or Mobile it is updated with grooves that attract newer listeners. There is a heavy African element to the intense, precise metronome like grooves, which change over time through the pianist's shouted verbal cues. Bartsch, coming to the stage dressed in all black, looking like a cross of a martial arts master with something out of The Matrix played a solo version for the first time of “Modul 5”. The concentrated performance  captured the essence of his main band, nothing was missing.  Craig Taborn also offered a spikier take on solo piano in the avant garde realm making for refreshing contrast.
Ravi Coltrane, Matthew Garrison and Jack DeJohnette took to the stage to close the concert's first half for a searing “Serpentine Fire”, the Earth, Wind and Fire classic the trio collective recorded on their 2016 In Movement. DeJohnette, who has been the most recorded drummer on ECM (first appearing with Keith Jarrett on Ruta And Daitya in 1971) has a synergy with Coltrane and Garrison that is magical.  They can  literally go anywhere with the level of trust and camaraderie, and they certain went everywhere on “Serpentine Fire”.  Garrison bolstered the lengthy rubato introduction with Hendrixian distorted bass, fuzzed out leads traipsing atop looped backgrounds set for himself.  DeJohnette, behind his slick camouflage finish Sonor kit, added a shower of well placed cymbal work, punctuating with loud crashes on his Sabian Encore model China, and crash cymbals.  His patented rumbling tom free falls adding a beautiful tension underneath Garrison and Coltrane's sopranino saxophone.  By the time the drummer entered into a groove, things moved from a slow burn to an ecstatic frenzy, DeJohnette engaging in his love of rock and funk with displaced brilliance, the tune brought Rose Theater to it's feet.
In the second half, Ethan Iverson and Mark Turner  explored more of their chamber duo camaraderie found on Temporary Kings with Iverson proudly displaying his ECM shirt to the audience at tune's end.  By far, as excellent as all the music was, the most touching of the music all evening was Meredith Monk's rendition of “Gotham Lullaby” first heard on her masterpiece Dolmen Music, her ECM debut from 1980. As a vocalist, performance artist, and new music composer, the soon to be 77 year old Monk is singular and has influenced a legion of vocalists who employ extended technique, including Bjork, and label mate Theo Bleckmann, a Meredith Monk Vocal Ensemble alumnus that appeared on two recordings.  The poignancy of “Gotham Lullaby” was made all the more poignant when she dedicated the piece to the healing of the earth and when one considers the context of the piece. Understanding the context of Monk's pieces can greatly aid in appreciation and sparking the listeners imagination for their own mental images.  The piece was originally written in 1979 for a stage adaptation of Fear and Loathing adapted by long time collaborator, Ping Chong titled Fear and Loathing in Gotham.  Chong, one of the most important and influential figures in interdisciplinary performance, and one of the leaders in providing a forum for Asian American artists, based the non narrative play on a white officer tracking down an Asian serial killer.   Though Monk has since revised some of the wordless syllables that appeared on the original recording, the warmth of her rich alto range had lost none of it's emotive power.  Knowing the theme of the original play, her wild, intense, frightened ululations were even more chilling. Besides Anja Lechner, she represented the ECM New Series side of the label, focusing on groundbreaking works of classical and new music.  
Ravi Coltrane returned to the stage donning tenor saxophone with Ralph Alessi on trumpet, Andy Milne on piano, Drew Gress on bass and Mark Ferber on drums for “Iram Issala” from Alessi's Imaginary Friends.  This is a great quintet, and the rapport Alessi and Coltrane have dates to the latter's lone Blue Note recording Spirit Fiction in 2012 where the trumpeter appeared on several numbers.  Their soaring perfect fourth based line at the end of the piece was magisterial as they became one.  The piece shifted through several moods during the solos, and by the time they reached the unison phrase it was purely cathartic.  To finish the evening, Joe Lovano returned with Enrico Rava who had flown in from Italy with pianist Giovanni Guidi, and the group was completed by Dezron Douglas, one of New York's bass A listers, and Nasheet Waits on drums.  The band looked at “Interiors” and Lovano's “Fort Worth” heard on their dynamic new album Roma.  Waits, who replaced Gerald Cleaver for the concert was a marvel on the hard swinging Ornette Coleman inspired Lovano composition.  Rava brought a very interesting texture on flugelhorn, much different than Tom Harrell, who recorded an earlier version of the tune on Quartets: Live At The Village Vanguard  in 1996.  Rava and Lovano were quite playful in collective dialogue, and Waits unbreakable strength ride beat spurred them on.  Giovanni Guidi as he does on Roma revealed himself as an improviser of remarkable depth, as the two pieces tapped into a blusier, hard swinging side of his musical personality.  His Avec Les Temps from earlier this year showed a richer compositional voice and orchestrative acumen with tenor saxophone and guitar added to the ensemble.
With it's 50th Anniversary gala, ECM provided something of a rarity in the modern concert era.  Very rarely do people get to see so many of the label's legends and stars in such a carefully organized event. ECM had presented festival nights as did CTI and Blue Note in the 70's, but a label concert package today is not often found. The November 1 concert was truly special.  ECM showed just how enduring of a cultural institution it is, and how focused it is on bringing public attention to great musicians today.  The label modus operandi, though it has released some fantastic archival releases and presented long out of print titles in high resolution digital for streaming, is mainly concentrated on the present.  Manfred Eicher,  as label founder, producer and visionary keeps moving forward providing an embarrassment of consistently excellent music. The ECM at 50 celebration was a way to honor the past, and present of a juggernaut in recorded music.

Books, Pies, and Roommates
Author: seidenapfel | Artist: Kit Shay
Posting on Sunday March 17
Everything seemed so easy when Castiel landed a job in Lawrence as a literature professor at Kansas University. He even found a place to stay with his cousin in Topeka, less than thirty miles away. But the daily commute quickly gets on his nerves and he begins looking for a little room in town. When he finally lucks out on a house, it comes with a catch. His mysterious landlord/housemate works and lives in Topeka during the week, and will only be in Lawrence for the weekend while Castiel is back at his cousin’s to honor a promise he made. When Dean walks into his favorite pie shop, the new sales assistant takes his breath away. Steve is gorgeous, and part of the owner’s family. Dean doesn’t even mind that Steve picks up Gabriel’s stupid moniker for him. After all, Deano has one syllable more, and Dean will do anything to hear Steve’s voice just a little bit longer. Though, as breathtaking Steve might be, he isn't Angel. If only Dean's book-loving best friend for over a decade weren't a mystery in himself — a guy who Dean has only met online, but who has slowly taken his heart away. And it seems that Dean isn't alone in his feelings. When the lines blur and fantasies merge three guys into one, disappointment and heartbreak seem to be inevitable.
Keep reading for a sneak preview!
“Dude! You did what?”
“I found you a new roommate,” Sam explained and Dean knew his brother was rolling his eyes. “As you asked me to.”
“Yeah, I heard you,” Dean muttered. “And well, I did, but duh? Did you take the first one that came along?
The silence at the other end of the line was enough of an answer.
“Seriously? The first one? You pick the first Tom, Dick, and Harry that walks into my home?” Dean couldn’t believe it. “You didn’t even—”
“His name is Castiel. And he’s nice,” Sam cut in, defending himself.
Nice?
Before Dean could interrupt him, Sam continued, “So, get this, Castiel is actually in the same predicament as you are. He lives in Topeka, but teaches at KU and he’s already fed up with his daily commute to campus.”
“Castiel? What a mouthful of a name is that?” Dean grumbled.
“As far as I know it’s the name of an angel,” his brother answered calmly, taking none of Dean’s shit.
“Angel?” Dean huffed while another Angel came to his mind. Shaking his head to clear the thought away, he went on, “You telling me the guy is some religious weirdo?”
Sam laughed and Dean could literally hear another eye roll. “Don’t worry. I don’t think that should be a problem. Quite the contrary. He seemed very interested in our library. Or, more precisely, /your/ part of the library.”
Dean huffed. “That’s most of it anyway, dude.”
Groaning, Sam ignored him and went on. “I don’t think he realized how obvious he was when he skimmed through the titles of your collection of gay pulp.”
“Hey, it ain’t gay pulp, not all of it,” Dean protested.
“Pulp, romance, literature — whatever. You can’t deny it’s kinda gay.”
Dean laughed before teasing, “Just kinda?” Even though his brother couldn’t see him, he wiggled his brows.
“How would I know? I haven’t even touched half of it,” Sam backpedaled and Dean laughed even louder. “Somehow I need to keep my sanity,” his brother shot back. Then it hit Dean. “Wait, you showed this guy, this—”
“Castiel,” Sam offered helpfully.
“Whatever,” Dean snapped. “You showed him the library?”
“Dean, he lives there now. Of course, I showed him around. Besides, how do you think I should have hidden the shelves in the living room? You’re not very subtle with your interests.”
Subtle? Dammit, it was his home, for fuck’s sake. “Still, the library? And you let him stay? Alone at home?”
“Yes, because that’s what happens when you rent your house, dude.” Dean could see his brother’s bitchface in his mind. “Do I need to remind you that you were the one who asked me to take care of the viewings?”
“Goddammit, Sammy,” Dean grouched. Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath before giving in, “Yeah. Sorry. I did. But that didn’t mean that you decide who lives with me.”
“I don’t know. He just seemed… perfect.”

Even though cult-classic liners from beloved brands like MAC and...
Tumblr media
Even though cult-classic liners from beloved brands like MAC and Charlotte Tilbury are often favorited by makeup artists and beauty editors, lip liners are one beauty staple makeup artists agree you can and should grab at the drugstore. Although liners aren’t essential, they can lend a helping hand where precision and durability are concerned—especially if you’re one to opt for a statement-making color. Celebrity makeup artist Ash K Holm, who counts lip-blessed beauties like Shay Mitchell and Kim Kardashian as clients, recommends this shape-perfecting pick from Maybelline.  “I would say lip gloss is something you can definitely buy in a drugstore,” celebrity makeup artist Morgane Martini confirms. “You can still get good quality for your money and are usually safe to use without having to fear allergies or skin reactions.” We’re big fans of this cheekily named number from Soap & Glory, and although the gloss only comes in three colors, the trio manages to look ultra-flattering on every skin tone.  Are you noticing a trend yet? All four makeup artists we talked to mentioned any lip-related beauty product is probably okay to shop for at the drugstore thanks to consistent and dependable quality. (Thrilling news as we love to have as many color options as possible in our collection.) Oh, and if you’re not sure where to start, Adele’s go-to makeup artist Michael Ashton has your back.  “Everyone should have the perfect nude lipstick in their makeup bag as it is a classic beauty look that’s perfect for daytime but also looks elegant with a smoky eye for the evening,” he tells us. He loves this line of lippies from Maybelline in particular thanks to the hydrating ingredients and shade range. Plus, if you’re in a pinch, he says you can use the ultra-moisturizing formula as an on-the-go blush alternative. That being said, if you don’t want to go with lipstick as your blush, Ashton says saving money on an actual blush is totally fine too. “When it comes to creating a natural looking flush to the cheeks, I prefer to work with cream blusher,“ he shares. "This bendable cream formula works well applied with either the fingertips or a buffing brush as it melts into the skin giving a seamless application of color."  Does it get better than a $4 blush that’s approved by the same man who’s behind Adele’s glow? We think not.  “Well-groomed brows frame any makeup look, and this gel brow gel is perfect for brushing brow hairs into place so you can see what areas you need to shape and fill,” says Ashton. As for his application MO, he likes to use a clear brow gel first, which gives your pencil something to adhere to and therefore keeps your brow game perfectly in place for longer. “I love Ardell individual lashes for my clients, and they are super affordable!” celebrity makeup artist Tobi Henney exclaims. “Lashes do not need to be expensive to look amazing.” Martini is also a fan of getting lashes at the drugstore and says these handy multipacks from Kiss Lashes (which include five pairs!) are her go-to for creating a showstopping red carpet moment. All four makeup artists agreed that an amazing skincare routine is the at the heart of an amazing makeup look. And while they recommend investing in your serums and moisturizers (don’t fret, we’ll get there!), they say reaching for a less-expensive cleanser is an acceptable compromise. After all, it won’t stay on your face as long as products like serum and cream. Martini loves the facial cleansers from dermatologist-approved brand Cetaphil, and Ashton tends to reach for the above hydrating formula from La Roche-Posay.  “French pharmacy skincare brands are renowned for both quality and efficacy. What I love about this cream cleanser is how gentle it is on the skin while effectively removing makeup and impurities,“ he explains. "I always like to do a double-cleanse as the first wash will remove any product and pollutants, while the second cleanse allows the product ingredients to really penetrate and treat the skin.” Even though there are plenty of splurge-worthy mascaras makeup artists love (Ashton recommends Hourglass Caution Extreme Lash Mascara $29), many makeup artists also agree that mascaras don’t need to be spendy in order to yield super-fluttery results. "I love to own a great mascara for voluminous lashes, and the best part is that it doesn’t have to be expensive,” says Henney. This iconic tube from Maybelline has been an industry go-to for years, and Henney says it gets the job done perfectly.  We’re the first to admit we fall weak at the knees at the mere sight of a drop-dead and ridiculously high-priced eye shadow palette, but according to our team of makeup pros, cheaper alternatives can provide results that are just as mesmerizing.  “I love Colour Pop Eyeshadows, as they have brilliant pigments and are very affordable,” Henney shares. “As for application, I like to layer these on top of a cream product as a base, which will allow your eye shadow to last from day to night!” Remember what we said earlier about makeup artists prioritizing skincare? According to artists like Henney and Ashton, serums are one of the most important components for achieving flawless makeup.  “As for beauty investments,100% skincare products!” exclaims Henney. Definitely splurge on great serums with vitamin A. I can’t live without Rationale 1 and 2 serums to start my daily skincare routine—and I have never found two products that have helped so much with my acne and pigmentation issues. “For me, there are a few product categories that are worth their weight in gold, and you really do get what you pay for. I will always splurge on fantastic moisturizer,” says Ashton. “Having quickly become one of the favorite creams of the Hollywood A-List, this luxe moisturizer helps stimulate the skin’s cell renewal for a brighter and more youthful appearance. I love to use this as a base before foundation as it quickly hydrates and plumps the skin, creating the perfect base for foundation."  Even though $21 is a pretty penny where eyelash curlers are concerned, we spot this cult-classic curler in almost every artist-approved kit we snoop in. Ashton reveals why: "Not all eyelash curlers are created equal, and this one is the best in its class. Designed with a slightly wider and ultra-comfortable silicon pad, this will help you achieve the perfect curl to your lashes that will open up the eye shape."  Of course, you can splurge on bronzers and highlighters separately, but why spend the extra cash when you can get a makeup artist–approved pick that does both in one fell swoop?  "Charlotte Tilbury's Filmstar Bronze and Glow ($68) is a staple bronzer and highlighter I definitely recommend to invest in,” says Henney. “Additionally, Tom Ford's Shade and Illuminate ($85) is a brilliant creamy contour and highlight palette. Try applying the highlight with your finger and tap on the product to the tops of the cheekbones for a glassy skin–like sheen!"  "Investing in the right foundation for your skin type is so important for creating a flawless makeup look,” Holm shares. “Next to skincare, the foundation you wear is just as important. We all have different skin tones, textures, and skin types, so it’s important to be mindful of these things when choosing your formula. For example, if you have dry skin, you need a foundation that is going to keep your skin hydrated throughout the day. I’m in love with Dior Forever Skin and Dior Forever Skin Glow Foundations. This line ranges from a dewy hydrated texture to a 24-hour matte finish. Plus, there are choices for all skin tones.” Having the right tools to apply your makeup is also important, so Holm doesn’t recommend skimping when it comes to your brush selection. She says brushes with have soft fibers make for a more seamless finish. “Say Mé’s handcrafted brushes are the softest brushes I’ve ever tried. The fibers feel so soft and dreamy against your skin and make your liquid and powder formulas glide on across your face.” Last but not least, when it comes to getting what you pay for makeup product-wise, Ashton says investing in a high-quality eyeliner is one of the best things you can do for your eye makeup aesthetic.  “With an amazing shade range, these gel liner pencils have a fantastic formula that will give you great color payoff and long wear. Try using alone as an eyeliner or blend over the eyelid as a base before applying eye shadow.”. Next up, Victoria Beckham is obsessed with this exotic organic body oil, so I tried it.
