25 VSCO Makeup Looks So Good You'll Be Racing to Find Some Natural Light
Makeup trends come and go, but we're betting the first of 2020 will stick around for awhile. Meet "VSCO makeup," a subtle, albeit fast-growing, beauty trend that according to its name started on the popular photo-editing app, VSCO. Unlike the bold and dramatic trends that start on runways and red carpets, "VSCO makeup" is hard to spot without context. With that in mind, once you notice it, there's no turning back because, right now, it's everywhere.
The best part about the "VSCO makeup" craze is that it's relatively nonspecific - it doesn't really involve anything complicated or ornate. More often than not, photos tagged with the popular hashtag feature a ton of natural light, a speck of highlighter dotted on the inner corners of the eyes, and a juicy clear lip gloss. It's simple enough that everyone can try it out, which is probably why it's so loved right now - by regular people and celebrities alike. In fact, according to a recent Pinterest report, searches for "VSCO makeup" are up 913 percent.
It's safe to say we have the "VSCO girl" to thank for this one. The Gen Z archetype popularized in 2019 is one that embodies a generation who favors fresh-faced, sun-kissed makeup over anything full-coverage. We already know the "VSCO girl" is a beauty enthusiast, pegged to change the way we buy beauty products forever, but who knew she'd also be the one to convince us to curl our lashes and ditch foundation?
To offer a little inspiration, we found the best "VSCO makeup" looks out there.
You've Been Pronouncing Timothée Chalamet's Name Wrong This Whole Time
Timothée Chalamet just keeps getting more and more buzz every year. He's starred in huge movies like 2019's Little Women and Call Me by Your Name, which really got everyone talking about him in 2017. But we have some big news for you - you've probably been pronouncing his name wrong all along.
Timothée was born and raised in America, but his father is from France, which explains his unique name. Despite the accent mark, he pronounces his first name how you would imagine - "Timothy." However, he has said in various interviews that's supposed to be "Tim-o-tay," not Timothy. Sounds like he's fine with you saying it either way, though!
The actor's last name is a tad bit trickier. You may have been thinking it's "Shal-met" or even "Chal-met," but it has way more flair. Thankfully, back in 2014, when he was starring in Showtime's Homeland, Timothée was interviewed by Teen Vogue where he offered up a proper pronunciation of his name. Say it with us everyone, it's "Shal-uh-may." Not too hard, right?
According to houseofnames.com, Chalamet is a noble French surname. The name originates from the Lorraine area of France. As for Timothée, the French variation of the English name means "honoring God."
Timothée's parents appear to have given him the best of both worlds when he was growing up. The young actor was born and raised in New York City, but he speaks French fluently. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Timothée revealed he spent his Summers in France when he was growing up. His experience with one of the romance languages paid off when he decided to learn how to speak Italian for Call Me by Your Name.
Now you can confidently talk about Timothée with everyone while raving about Little Women or complaining about his tiny mustache that he's working on!
The Coolest Hairstyle Trends Everyone Will Be Wearing This Year, According to the Pros
It's like what Fleabag said: hair is everything. "It's the difference between a good day and a bad day," you see, and we have a feeling she'd back us when we say that's precisely why you'll want to brush up on the coolest hairstyle trends of the year.
So what can you expect to see everywhere in the coming months? "2020 is going to see a lot of experimentation," said LA-based celebrity hairstylist Laurie Heaps. "We are pushing style boundaries and changing our hair in more meaningful ways. People are not afraid to do something drastic or even out of the norm. It's really about having fun and letting your hair show how you feel. Whether this is a permanent change through color or cut or even just wigs or extensions, we are going to see hair that is bold and strong."
"Strong," it seems, is the big buzz word this year. Hairstylist and global creative director for Redken Guido Palau agrees: "We're seeing hair with stronger styles. Nods to different time periods are coming back and they're very exciting. When you look at models, they very rarely have one signature look anymore - they're all trying different looks. This is so important in fashion, where you're seeing inclusivity for all looks and styles by celebrating each person's individual beauty."
From retro haircuts to sorta-woke-up-like-this styles, we asked a handful of pros to dish the hair trends you're going to see everywhere come 2020 - so grab the popcorn, because it's going to be a show.

3 Ways the British Royal Family Stays So Damn Rich
It might seem like we know the British royal family based on how public their lives are, but when you really think about it, how much do you really know about the lifestyles of the most famous family in England? While we do know what Prince William and Kate Middleton do when it comes to their jobs - like being a part of the Royal Air Force, in William's case - not many people know where the family's money and wealth actually comes from.
Spoiler alert: the bulk of the money that Queen Elizabeth II and her family have is inherited. What you might not know is how the family first received, and continue to receive, the bulk of that money. Essentially, there are three different ways in which the queen and her heirs make money every year and retain their wealthy status.
1. Private Income
For all intents and purposes, we're going to focus on how Queen Elizabeth II makes money, because technically it's the same formula for her descendants and her heirs. The queen has an undisclosed amount of earnings that come annually from "inherited private estates" including Balmoral Castle and other properties from her personal investment portfolio.
According to the royal family's website, this inheritance initially came from Her Majesty's father, King George VI, and also consists of a valuable artwork and stamp collection. Last year, her private income was estimated to be about £340 million ($490 million), according to a Sunday Times report in 2016.
When it comes to this area of her wealth, the queen does pay taxes on any income she privately makes from her different investments, but what she pays has always remained secret. These properties - unless she chooses to sell them - will most likely go to her descendants someday.
2. The Privy Purse
The Privy Purse isn't just a fancy British term for a handbag or money holder, although if you really think about it, that's sort of what it is - a holder of the set money that the queen receives during her time as monarch. The second form of royal income is all about The Duchy of Lancaster, which provides the Queen with a set income - so no work-related expenses like touring the country and making public appearances have to be paid with this, although some are - called the Privy Purse.
Simply put, The Duchy of Lancaster is a "portfolio of land and other assets that have been in the royal family for hundreds of years." As of early 2017, that compilation of land and property came to about 18,433 hectares. The Privy Purse is all of the income generated from those properties (about £17.8 million or $21.7 million for 2015-2016) and it has been around since 1399.
"Its main purpose is to provide an independent source of income, and is used mainly to pay for official expenditure not met by the Sovereign Grant (primarily to meet expenses incurred by other members of the Royal Family)," the official Royal Family website explains.
Side note: Prince Charles, who is currently next in line for the throne, runs his own estate (that again has properties that have been passed down and cannot be sold from back in 1337) called The Duchy of Cornwall. Charles currently resides over this money (like the queen does for The Duchy of Lancaster), and it is responsible for covering all of the personal, and most of the official expenses, for his family line, which would include Prince William and Harry. When Charles ascends the throne, Prince William will become the heir to The Duchy of Cornwall and it will continue to go down the line to the male heirs.
3. Sovereign Grant
Last but not least is the Sovereign Grant, which is handed out by the Treasury and is funded by taxpayer dollars (or pounds in the UK). This is where the majority of the British Royal Family's income hails from, and it's used to carry out the royal duties, cover royal travel, pay for the staff, and help maintain Buckingham Palace's upkeep.
In 1760, the Sovereign Grant was set up thanks to King George III, and it's basically an agreement that was made between Parliament and the Royal Family saying they would hand over all of the profits from the Crown Estate to the government in return for a percentage of the profits each year.
What is the Crown Estate, you ask? Well, according to BBC News, it's "an independent commercial property business and one of the largest property portfolios in the UK." It is made up of residential properties, businesses, shops, and more. Basically, it is everything that the Monarchy owns - for the duration of their reign - and the residents of the United Kingdom pay taxes on it, thanks to the government. How the Sovereign Grant works is this: The Crown (in this case the queen) owns the Crown Estate. That estate makes money, which in turn gets paid to the HM Treasury, who calculates what 15 percent of the surplus income is. That amount is then paid to the queen in the form of a Sovereign Grant and used for royal expenses. It's a mouthful, but it actually makes sense.
While living like a royal does sound great, knowing where the family's money comes from is much more complicated than we expected. But, at the end of the day, money is money, and the British royal family has a lot of it. Cheers!

The Mullet Haircut Is Back and Bigger Than Ever - Here's How to Make It Modern
Beyond the give-zero-f*cks attitude and consummate ability to make a grown man squirm, there's yet another commonality between Billie Eilish, Miley Cyrus, and Barbie Ferreira that makes them decidedly cool: the confidence to wear a mullet, and to wear a mullet well. You see, the haircut trend has been making a steady comeback these last few months, although the style you can expect in 2020 is a more refined take on its faithfully divisive "Achy Breaky Heart" counterpart.
"The beauty of this modern look is that it can be cut for any hair type - just add texture with an undone feel," said LA-based celebrity hairstylist Laurie Heaps, who chopped Ferreira's hair into a mullet just days before the Golden Globes. "You can embrace your natural waves and curls, wear it straight, or switch it up by adding extra bends and dimension with hot tools."
But wait, you say, the mullet hairstyle is that versatile? Why yes, yes it is. Ahead, Leaps breaks down the simple styling tricks you need to know to pull off the retro trend with aplomb.
