The number of people going to beauty school is increasing significantly. Fact: Bobbi Brown, Laura Mercier John Frieda, and Ken Paves all went to beauty school. Bad move,Frenchie from Grease. (New York Times, YouTube)

Going the way of Helena Rubinstein makeup, Max Factor will be discontinued in early 2010 by the US, though not overseas. You know what this means, don't you? BUY BUY BUY! BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE! (Bellasugar, drugstore.com)

Britain's Daily Mail reports a rise in UK adults getting braces, lamenting that "we, like the Americans, have become neurotic in our quest for the perfect smile." First we were all, "This from the culture that brought us Bridget Jones and every Hugh Grant character ever? WE'RE neurotic?!" Then we remembered Tom "dizzying neuroses" Cruise and his unfortunate braces phase. The UK wins. (Daily Mail Online)
