The Try Guys Try Makeup For The First Time, Serve Sloppy Realness
The Try Guys Try Makeup For The First Time, Serve Sloppy Realness
Not that this should come as a surprise, but makeup is, like, really hard. Your favorite drag queen may be a sloppy hurricane of fun at 2:30 a.m., but you can bet your ass that her look took at least two hours on the face alone.
If you don’t fancy yourself very good at drawing, imagine doing it vertically, backwards and with one eye closed. Taking it off is another story entirely.
The good-sported Buzzfeed try guys recently gave it a go for the first time. As you can image, the results are less than impressive.
Next we’d like to see full drag.

Poll Reveals Americans' Feelings About Open Relationships And Sex Parties
Poll Reveals Americans' Feelings About Open Relationships And Sex Parties
HuffPost’s Love+Sex podcast recently traveled to Brooklyn to find out what happens at one of the most exclusive sex parties in New York.
While there were many surprises at the event, co-hosts Carina Kolodny and Noah Michelson were perhaps most intrigued to discover the diversity of the guests attending the party and it got them wondering: How does the rest of the United States feel about sex parties and the idea of non-monogamous relationships?
So HuffPost teamed up with YouGov and presented a series of questions about the subject to 1,000 American adults. Because of the sexual nature of the questions, only 906 people agreed to answer them and here’s what we learned (to find out more about the methodology behind our polling, scroll to the end of this post):
Are you surprised by the data? What are your thoughts on sex parties and open relationships? Sound off in the comments section below and be sure to have a listen to HuffPost’s Love+Sex podcast:

The HuffPost/YouGov poll consisted of 1,000 completed interviews conducted March 17-18 among U.S. adults, including 906 who agreed to answer questions about sex, using a sample selected from YouGov’s opt-in online panel to match the demographics and other characteristics of the adult U.S. population.
The Huffington Post has teamed up with YouGov to conduct daily opinion polls. You can learn more about this project and take part in YouGov’s nationally representative opinion polling. Data from all HuffPost/YouGov polls can be found here. More details on the poll’s methodology are available here.
Most surveys report a margin of error that represents some, but not all, potential survey errors. YouGov’s reports include a model-based margin of error, which rests on a specific set of statistical assumptions about the selected sample, rather than the standard methodology for random probability sampling. If these assumptions are wrong, the model-based margin of error may also be inaccurate. Click here for a more detailed explanation of the model-based margin of error.

What To Watch This Week On TV: Make Time For 'Kimmy;' Poke Fun At RuPaul
What To Watch This Week On TV: Make Time For 'Kimmy;' Poke Fun At RuPaul
Check out our weekly guide to make sure you’re catching the big premieres, crucial episodes and the stuff you won’t admit you watch when no one’s looking.
— We’ve already recommended hunkering down for a marathon viewing of Netflix’s The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, but the new comedy is so charming, it’s worth repeating. The series, written and created by Tina Fey & Robert Carlock, is laugh-out loud funny and features one of our favorite new characters, Titus Andromedon, played to perfection by the multi-talented Tituss Burgess.
More series bid this season adieu, AFTER THE JUMP …
— Whether you know him from his work on Gavin & Stacey, his Tony Award-winning turn in One Man, Two Guvnors, or as the baker in the film adaptation of Into the Woods, get ready to see a lot more of James Corden. Beginning last night, he took over the desk from Craig Ferguson on The Late Late Show at 12:35 a.m. Eastern on CBS.
— There’s a reason GLAAD gave ABC Family an Excellent rating in their report of LGBT characters on TV. The youth-oriented network features several shows with prominent LGBT characters, including two wrapping their seasons this week and one make its debut. There’s plenty of drama in store for the second season finale of The Fosters Monday at 8 p.m. Eastern. Then, on Tuesday at 8 p.m. Eastern, the soapy teen thriller Pretty Little Liars peels back another layer of A’s twists in the show’s season finale. If you’re worried about saying goodbye to those two series, you’re in luck. Fire up your DVR for the second season of Young & Hungry, featuring performances from Kym Whitley and Alec Mapa. It kicks off Wednesday at 8 p.m. Eastern.
— Big Freedia’s got some issues to twerk out when a trip to Hawaii is rife with problems, on stage and off. How will the Queen of Bounce bounce back? Find out 11 p.m. Eastern Wednesday on Fuse.
