It seems like there's a new beauty invention to add to our routine every week (micellar water, lip primer, what?). And with all those bottles and tubes lining the vanity, we get a little confused about which product goes when. The sequence in which you should apply your skin care and makeup in the morning (or evening) is very important. The right layering technique will ensure you get the maximum efficacy of each product, but it's mostly intuitive. For example, sunscreen should go on after moisturizer for the best protection, and apply eye shadow ahead of foundation so any fallout won't smudge on your face. But when you start inserting facial oils and contouring powders into the mix, it's enough to make a woman's head spin! Don't worry; we're here to save you from these easy-to-make beauty mistakes. Keep reading to get everything in order from skin care to cosmetics for your most flawless face.

Why Gender Shouldn't Dictate Your Beauty Habits
We're lucky that we live in a world that has become more accepting of changing gender norms - it might not seem like it, but we've made some headway in typical cisnormative standards of beauty. We still have a long way to go, though.
As my first guest on #PrettyUnfiltered, Frankie Grande - social media personality, Broadway baby, and just in case you didn't know, big brother to Ariana Grande - stops by to discuss why your gender shouldn't dictate your beauty habits. A man wearing makeup isn't necessarily gay; a woman who shaves her face isn't less feminine. We've seen breakthroughs in gender fluidity in the news, thanks to stars like Ruby Rose, but what we really need is to realize that typical gender roles are now dead.
Check out everything Frankie has to say about how his idea of beauty has transformed over the years, and be sure to pick up his new fragrance, Frankie by Ariana Grande.

If You're Obsessed With Braids, You Need to Follow These Instagram Feeds
True story: when I first learned to french braid, I thought it was the coolest thing ever. I was so obsessed, I wanted to run around and braid the hair of all my friends (and of all my dolls), and sit for hours in front of the mirror doing my own. I was around eight, and because I was the only person I knew that could french braid, I felt superspecial.
Despite my plaiting skills, I've discovered that 16 years later, I am not the braiding genius that I thought I would be. Thankfully, there are others whose styling careers have flourished a bit more than my own - and they're sharing their work via Instagram.
From box and fishtail plaits to cornrows and woven waterfalls, the types of braids these stylists have mastered are infinite. While we're a bit envious, we're not complaining, just as long as they continue to let us ogle their creations from our iPhone screen. Get your double-tapping thumbs ready and read on.
