Even the type of sugar you use can affect the appearance of clogged big pores and oily skin. If you want to hide it, it’s better to not use the powder form of makeup too often. Besides, you need to know how to apply it properly.

It’s easy to put the blame on our eyes when we see an astonishing sight that our brain cannot fully process. Encountering 2 identical men side by side and finding out that they aren’t related can be disturbing. Or coming across a multitude of black cats in what looks like a cloning situation gone bad can be really creepy. Instead of panicking, it’s better to accept that life is full of secrets, and some are better to remain unexplained.

Relatable situations with unexpected twists and stories with downright jaw-dropping conclusions — yep, we got you covered with that. Get ready for penguins with hurt feelings, dogs with some questionable spelling skills, and kids who just don’t know when to stop.

Truth is stranger than fiction, and history is weirder than you think. This is also known as the “Tiffany problem.” Tiffany is a medieval name — short for Theophania — from the twelfth century. But for people not closely familiar with history, it sounds unbelievable since the name seems so modern.

Many masterpieces of art hide mysterious stories. No matter how thoroughly researchers study paintings, there’s always some other important detail they find that can change the meaning of the entire painting.

Many actors who acted in the movies about The Boy Who Lived had bright careers before they took part in the Harry Potter films. It’s likely that many of us remember the extravagant Gary Oldman in The Fifth Element or the attractive Ralph Fiennes in Wuthering Heights. But it seems that movies about Harry Potter erased these characters from our memory and we didn’t even notice that Sirius Black is the industrialist, Jean-Baptiste, while Lord Voldemort is the very handsome Heathcliff.

If your cat runs away to show its independence, it doesn’t mean it actually is. Even 5 months later, your pet can come back missing you. Our small pets are more vulnerable and sensitive than we think and just want us to love them.

Imagine walking on the street on an ordinary day and right in front of you, there’s a delicious-looking shawarma wheel waiting for you. And right before you try to taste it, you realize it was just weirdly-shaped cement with rusty steel. Well, if you think that’s disappointing, scroll down and see what’s really hiding behind a seemingly fresh chicken ready to go in the oven.

When a simple plate is not enough to express the creativity behind a culinary masterpiece, some restaurants go too far. We really can expect anything these days, like having our latte come in a toilet seat. A surprising twist is always fun and refreshing, but sometimes seeing how our order is presented can make us reluctant or even scared to dig into the meal no matter how hungry we are.

The phrase, “Today is my lucky day,” is widely recognized for a reason. It serves to show that no matter who you are, where you are, or what you do, luck can come into your life eventually. Whether it means finding a leaf showing all stages of its life, or meeting a random person who has the same tattoos as you, it’s more than enough to make your day better and put a huge smile on your face.

Trick-or-treating is a Halloween staple that has actually existed since Medieval times with the act of “souling.” But celebrations have come a long way since then! Today, Halloween is the time to let your creativity run wild by creating incredible costumes or giving your homes a spooky makeover. Bright Side loves seeing the results of hard work from talented people, so today we’ve collected 15 pictures of fantastic Halloween costumes and decorations.

No matter how busy our days are, sometimes we all need the soul-warming effect that a few delightful pictures can provide. Whether it’s a duckling sunbathing, a puppy feeling really proud of the new accessory they got, or a cat snuggling with the family’s new kitten, these photos can all lift your spirits.

Do you remember how we all gathered together at night when we were kids and started to tell spooky stories? Dark figures, strange encounters, haunted houses, mysterious whispers. It’s been a while since then, and we may believe in the paranormal or not. But no matter how old we are, these stories always excite our imagination and give us shivers down our spine. We at Bright Side selected the most interesting and intriguing ones. So fasten your seat belts and get ready to dive deep into the unknown.

Our beloved furry friends are just overloaded with charismatic cuteness and charm. So they don’t even have to act weird or do a few clumsy tricks. We just love them for who they are. And sometimes even envy their ability to act natural, do what they want, and still be adorable.

The world is full of bright minds who can transform the most ordinary things into something as rare as hen teeth. Forget about boring cookies — they look way better with a pet’s face on them, and an expensive dress is way cooler when you can make it completely out of leaves.

Friendship is one of the most essential relationships in our lives. Friends are here to care for us, cherish us, and make us feel good during our lowest times, but most importantly they fill our lives with meaning and purpose. Even though it’s not easy nowadays to find true friends, some people were lucky enough to enjoy real companionship.

A stuffed armchair that is being used as a shower chair, a woman wearing a sweater with a very awkward print. These are just a couple of examples of the fruit of human creativity that went far beyond common sense and made people appear in some rib-tickling situations.

Halloween is just around the corner, and while some people are truly excited for this holiday and start preparing for it at the beginning of October, others prefer to buy their costumes and decorations last minute. Whether you’re the biggest Halloween fan or just can’t wait to finally take these scary decorations down, these funny tweets will totally get you in the holiday spirit.

It’s normal to look like your parents or grandparents, but some people take it a step further. They don’t just look alike, they are a carbon copy of each other to the point where it’s actually freaky! The fact that our genes can create doppelgängers shows how strong they really are and that our bodies have found the most natural and complicated way to do copy-paste.

Whether you’re living in the spotlight or not, you know that being in a long-lasting committed relationship can be challenging at times. And no one knows this better than celebrity couples who are often chased by paparazzi and followed by millions of fans. Yet many of them prove that the true love we see on screen is possible in real life, and they are ready to share their secrets with us.

Looking through our photo albums will not only make us wonder where time has gone, but it also makes us question our past fashion sense. People around the world shared their most embarrassing moments from their young years and they instantly transport us in time. Kids looking like adults, big ’90s hair, and unique comb-overs are just a few bits of treasures that make up today’s “best of.”

A ghost hiding in a grill oven, a spooky forest on your butter knife, or a man engulfed by a tree — these might be the perfect characters for the next big thriller movie. Some of the following pieces of accidental art might seem slightly scary at first, and others may need an explanation to be cracked, but they get us into the Halloween mood, no matter what time of year it actually is.

It seems that the goofier and weirder our pets get, the more attached to them we become. With their awkward sleeping positions, over-clinginess, or surprising reactions, our four-legged friends know the way to our hearts. We might not always understand them, but that’s what makes the relation we have with our furry buddies all the more special. They wipe out the boredom from our days and replace it with endless waves of uncontrollable laughter.

It’s widely believed that parents should educate their kids, and some of the sentences put together by little people will show you that kids are big philosophers hidden in tiny bodies. Whether they’re enlightening us about consent, seeing the positive in the negative, or simply being weird without second-guessing themselves — one thing is for sure — their lessons are unlimited.

As it turns out 1 in 4 couples choose to sleep in separate beds, a survey shows. While the topic is still considered taboo to admit or even talk about, the benefits can be significant. Even the most loving couple can feel the need to spend their nights apart if their sleep patterns differ. This shouldn’t be seen as a problem or as the relationship being “on the rocks,” but as a means of bettering the quality of your sleep.

Even the color of your eyebrows can make your face look older. Sometimes we make styling mistakes that can turn a 17-year-old girl into a 33-year-old woman. But the good news? It’s easy to fix.

Mother Nature is constantly surprising us with fascinating and unusual wonders, she never slows down. From trees that look like they have eyes to a potato that is shaped like a heart, natural wonders come in all shapes and sizes.Bright Side loves to see the fascinating discoveries and natural wonders people are able to find, so we’ve collected 16 photos showing exactly that.

Nature is full of surprises, especially when it comes to humans. But luckily for us, it has a much broader concept of beauty. Some people are simply born special and for their parents, friends, and loved ones, they are the most wonderful creatures in the world. It seems nothing will ever stop them from enjoying this life fully and embracing all the magnificent moments it brings. We at Bright Side share all these values. And we have gathered some really inspiring pictures for you of the unbelievably wonderful people living around us.

Time flies by, and sometimes only old photos can show us how precious those moments we share with friends and loved ones are. These moments could be the first steps of a child, their very first smiles, and the first steps after a long recovery — photo representations can refresh these amazing moments in our memories. We at Bright Side gathered some of these unforgettable moments and want to share these genuine emotions with you.

At first, marriage might seem like it includes only work, commitment, and boring days and nights, but the tweets that were shared by many different people say otherwise. Living with the same person for so long can bring on a lot of amusing moments that spice up the relationship.

Nowadays, there aren’t many celebrities with imperfect teeth. Very often, it’s a bright smile that helps actors and other stars become famous. But not all of them are born with perfect teeth. This is why they have to spend a lot of time and money to smile freely in movies and at public events. Some people fix imperfections, others undergo slight whitening, and others want a complete makeover.

Trends change a lot, and some of them don’t age so well. A lot of people may feel embarrassed when looking at the pictures from the past and realizing they didn’t look as cool as they thought they did. However, instead of letting embarrassment take over, the people featured in this article decided to have a good laugh at themselves and share their past with the Internet.

Some recent studies show that the current level of people’s happiness is pretty low. And it’s not just about personal problems. It seems that millions of people just forgot what it means to have fun.

There are probably no women that don’t use handbags — after all, they need to keep their stuff somewhere. Some of them buy brand-name bags, others buy cheaper ones, and some actually make bags for themselves. The latter people just think, “Why to spend a fortune on a bag when I can make my own?”

A woman changes her hairstyle approximately 150 times in a lifetime, according to research conducted by Toni & Guy stylists. A new hairstyle can freshen up your look and many celebrities use this method regularly. A good haircut can transform a tomboy into a lady, or an ordinary girl into a movie star. Girl next door, Norma Jeane Mortenson, became Marilyn Monroe, a dream of millions, after she dyed her hair platinum blonde and changed her hairstyle.

Oftentimes, vintage items are of higher quality and cost a variety of prices, and this lets people build a wardrobe in any taste and on any budget. Moreover, these items add something special to whoever wears them, allowing the person to stand out. Some hunt for rare things in secondhand shops and online stores, while others get such items from relatives.

Not all clothes that are shown on runways actually look good in real life. But some celebrities are okay with that. When they put on dresses by famous fashion designers, they bring something new into the look, making it even more stunning.

Opinions about happiness and luck differ greatly between people of different generations. The things that our grandparents considered cool are mundane or even “last-century” for modern kids. But this doesn’t mean that the life of today’s youth is perfect.

You don’t need to be a professional designer to know when you see a great product or appreciate the creative force behind it. Some designs are simply over the top and wacky as designers let their creative juices flow. And people have been lucky enough to witness some of these weird (but wonderful) products and share them online.

Life with kids can sometimes cause stomachaches from laughing because they hissed at you when you asked for a piece of their dessert. And sometimes, it can be endless crying simply because you didn’t let them hit you with a mop. But one thing’s for sure, life with them will never be boring.

Sometimes people play Where’s Waldo? in real life. Whether it’s because they dropped something and are struggling to find it or because their cat is a pro at disguise. Our eyes have to be sharp. Fortunately, people share plenty of photos online that can test our ability to spot hidden things.

It is estimated that each American eats 53 pounds of bread per year. The reasons are very simple since bread is delicious, convenient, and can be easily transported anywhere. However, like most things that taste so good, bread also has its negative effects on the human body. And when our bodies are bothered, they send signs so we can take care of the problem.

You never take the same photo twice. Especially if it’s as unique as your sister seemingly passing a hand through your cat’s belly. Well, people on Reddit gift the website with once-in-a-lifetime shots that will give your brain a workout.

Finding money on the street or getting an A on a test you’ve forgotten to prepare for — luck can sweep into your life in the least expected forms. However, there are also times when you can’t help but feel like you’ve run out of luck. Maybe your documents arrive already expired or you drop the meal you’ve just cooked right when it’s ready.

Earrings appraised at $4,682 and finding love letters from 1918, for some people thrift stores seem like good treasure hunting grounds. Luckily these people also acted fast and they didn’t miss out on rare finds that made a huge difference in their pockets.

Riddles usually have a double meaning and are placed in front of us as a puzzle waiting to be solved. However, these brain teasers might get you thinking twice as much. Not because they are that difficult to solve but because you might not want to say out loud the first answer that comes to mind.

A mark is an inevitable sign of the passage of time or, in some cases, of human or animal presence. And in everyday life, we can find plenty of evidence that reveals stories, like the ones from these users, where we see everything from sweet pet snouts and the imposing footprints of a dinosaur to blatant sneaker footsteps on the inside of a pizza box.

For most people, repeating a garment or even an entire outfit is pretty normal. This, for celebrities, is something they are not very used to. They usually have to wear different outfits all the time, as the paparazzi never rest. There are some exceptions, and those are moments when they leave us in awe with outfits that are definitely worth seeing on more than one occasion.

For some people, gardening is not a day-to-day priority, but they still want all the ecological benefits and wellness that come from having an outdoor space that is full of life. Fortunately, there are options that generally require little care and can turn a gardening newbie into an expert.

Even an ordinary day can become special if life decides to surprise you. You might encounter some insect eggs that look like smiley faces, find newborn hedgehogs, or witness a perfectly aligned sunset. And most of the time, such small things can make a huge difference in your mindset.
