Welcome

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog! My name is Karen. I’m a freelance writer obsessed with makeup, and my favorite brand is MAC.

Makeup and Beauty Blog features daily product reviews, makeup tips and beauty news — kinda like an interactive version of a monthly print magazine, except with occasional pictures of my cat. 🙂

After more than 10 years (!) online, Makeup and Beauty Blog is still going strong. Now one of the hottest, most respected beauty blogs in America, it’s a fixture in the makeup reviews niche.

Some of my favorite hangouts online are…Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, YouTube and connorclaire.com, the home of my lifestyle brand.

On top of everything else — the fabulousness, felines and fun — you’ll find a vibrant community here and some of the nicest people (and cats) online. Your comments aren’t just welcome; they’re adored (more than 470,000 reader comments to date).

Interesting facts about Makeup and Beauty Blog…

  • More than 101 million pageviews (more than 1 million/month)

  • Typed the word “Tabs” more than 13,500 times

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you come back soon.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

P.S. When I’m not hanging out here, I may be over at Instagram, Facebook, Sephora, MAC, Nordy’s, Target, The Connor Claire Store or…anyplace that has makeup! 🙂

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
