10 events of the year in the world of beauty
We continue to sum up and remember what will remember the 2013th. We have already written about the bright cultural and fashionable events of the year, now we are telling you what has happened in the world of beauty.
1
Deal: Angelina Jolie Mastectomy
The actress wrote a column in The New York Times about the preventive double mastectomy she had done. The text caused a flurry of responses and reactions and once again reminded everyone about the problem of breast cancer and how important it is to be responsible: in relation to loved ones and yourself. Angelina - well done.
2
Loss: Talia Castellano
Internet favorite Talia Castellano has fought cancer since she was seven years old and has led a YouTube channel about cosmetics to her incomplete 14. Talia's video blog was quite popular (he collected 4 million views), and the girl herself had time to act for the cover of CoverGirl magazine.

Makeup: Givenchy and gold
Paris Fashion Week has always been rich in character images. We are torn, who will be awarded the title of the make-up of the year, but let's do it this way: the best “blown up” - “Aztec” Givenchy masks, and the trend is gold, which was on all parts of the body. By the way, the gold theme was also supported at the last show of Chanel Métiers d'Art: on the cheekbones of the models, twinkling tweed patches were painted.

Haircut: Pixie-ish
Beyonce, Leah Seydoux, Anne Hathaway, Rihanna and the omnipresent Miley are just some famous girls who decided to have a short haircut (each, however, for various reasons). "Hottest trend", sorry.
5
Blogs: Large Labia Project and Our Breasts
The NSFW sites (“don't open at work”) were done by the same Australian girl, Emma, with the purpose of showing others how their bodies actually look like. Body culture at a very low level, not only in Russia, but porn, almost the main source of information about how others are there, for obvious reasons, shines with not quite natural beauty - this does not inspire confidence in ordinary women and forms in them and men not quite correct idea of the real body.
6
Food: Kronat
Sorry again. The world media wrote about crony more often than about all the above-mentioned phenomena at once. Terrible - not in the sense of ugly, but in the sense dangerous - and the prohibitively sweet hybrid of donut and croissant was invented in New York's Dominique Ansel Bakery, where kilometer queues lined up behind it. Then the recipe was reinvented by Korean Dunkin 'Donuts, but now you can buy Kronat and Moscow - in the “Roll”.
7
Expectations: Gadgets
The boom in a healthy lifestyle could not but affect the sphere of technology (or vice versa, the boom of technology influenced the lifestyle is not important). Variations of various trackers, gadgets for self-diagnosis and monitors are now a lot, then they will be even more functional, comfortable and beautiful.
8
Hobby: Superfoods
At the tops and roots of useful plants, which contain a lot of useful substances, half of the world paid attention only now, although it would seem. Spirulina, goji seeds and chia, acai and other superfoods for many have become quite a familiar element of the diet, replacing the "tube" supplements.

Collaboration: Albert Elbaz and Lancôme
Elbaz designed a small collection for Lancôme: just some mascara, eye shadow and one pair of false eyelashes. Collaboration did her good: the palettes and tubes in ridiculous applications turned out to be completely different from the characteristic old-fashioned packaging, for which the brand often zhuryut, and drew the attention of a new audience.
10
Scale: Marc Jacobs Beauty
The new line of cosmetics Marc Jacobs is striking not with quality (bloggers, powder and blush pretty packed lip bloggers praise except for a nice appearance), but with the number of items: 120 units of lipstick, eye shadow, gloss, varnish, mascara and other things. In fairness: in the same year, YouTube star Michelle Fan, with the support of L'Oreal, released a collection of decorative cosmetics Em, in which there are exactly two times more funds than in Marc Jacobs Beauty, but there were significantly less talk about it.
