After a long year of makeup-free faces, the world of beauty is embracing some fun, glitz, and glamour again.  Now is a great time to experiment with the hottest new makeup trends for spring/summer 2021. Whether you love neutrals or gravitate towards bolder looks, there’s something beautiful to suit your palette.

Does your complexion have a dry or dull finish?  After months of sporting masks, your skin can certainly use a boost for spring. Highlighting and contouring have been staples in the beauty industry for decades, because they have always given makeup artists the ability to sculpt a face. Wide faces can be narrowed, foreheads shortened, and prominent noses can be made to appear smaller. All this is possible to achieve in split seconds, without resorting to plastic surgery.

Megillas Esther, the story of events that took place in Persia hundreds of years ago, is not merely historical; it is also a book of hidden miracles with deep and powerful lessons. The moral and spiritual messages, and the shining examples Esther imparted into the Jewish nation, have been passed down from generation to generation.  Therefore, Esther was known as one the greatest women in Jewish history.  As women, we can all learn meaningful lessons from the amazing story of Purim and its hidden miracles.
