The Beauty Edit

This British beauty blogger has all the right credentials – in the last twenty years she’s been beauty director at Company magazine, beauty editor at British Cosmopolitan and a freelancer for Marie Claire. Her blog focuses on trends for make up, skin and hair with all the latest product launches and a healthy dose of insider info. If you want to know how to become a make up artist or what goes on behind the scenes at a magazine shoot, you’ll find it here.

Beaut.ie

Kirstie and Aisling are the Irish brains behind Beaut.ie. Their blog boasts great giveaways, reviews of the newest beauty must-haves and lashings of celebrity make up malfunctions. The sisters don’t stop at make up either, with sections on dentistry, hair removal and grooming tips for men. The History of Beauty posts also make a fascinating read – with retro adverts from Elizabeth Arden, Egyptian beauty tips and heated Japanese toilets all making an appearance!

Talented Youtube guru Miss Chievous

MissChievous

Switzerland-based MissChievous is a YouTube sensation, and her blog is packed full of those helpful video tutorials we know and love her for (see our interview with the lady herself here). While other blogs focus on product reviews, Julia shows you exactly how to recreate designs at home, with step by step guides to looks from Kim Kardashian to True Blood. MissChievous’ blog lets you get to know the girl behind the YouTube hits, with musings on life, health and her latest IKEA make up storage solutions.

Skin Care and Beauty

Lithuanian beauty geek BeautyTalk packs her blog full of tips, product reviews and her best beauty picks from Europe’s fashion mags. She is a sensitive skin expert, so head here for honest reviews of products to soothe and calm your skin. Her beauty shopping section is also a mine of useful information – from the Champs-Elysées to the parfumeries of Zurich, BeautyTalk knows her stuff and isn’t afraid to share.

Lip Glossiping

We love this British beauty blog for lots of reasons – its fabulous name, the super-detailed product reviews, and most of all, Charlotte’s hilarious rants about everything from airbrushing to light-up cosmetics. Currently swooning over the Urban Decay Alice in Wonderland palette (and posting inspiring day and night looks based on it) Charlotte takes a refreshingly down-to-earth approach to being a beauty obsessive.

Beautiful Swedish blogger Bjooti

Bjooti

Bjooti is Sweden’s biggest beauty blog and is now also in English. The focus is products, products, products! Reviews come with handy swatches, so you can see how the shades look in real life. News is up-to-the-minute and lavishly illustrated with photo-collages galore. Written by tattooed 32-year-old Katarina, this blog is not only full of beauty, but beautiful too. With a layout this pretty, who even needs a translation?
