September issues are out!

If you know anything about magazines then you know that the September issues are pretty much a big deal. If you're still out of the loop, then go ahead and read my review of The September Issue featuring Anna Wintour.

But seeing that this is a Makeup and Muses post, let's put each of these five September issues to the cosmetics test. This is not about judging the woman on the cover, but simply about deciding which makeup look you like the most, and which cover makes you want to pick up the magazine!

Sidenote: It would be nice to see some women of color on the September issues in the future.

For sh*ts and giggles, which muse has the best makeup...and cover in your opinion?

♥ Katy Perry on Elle ♥


This is a more stern look for Katy--something with a bit more of an edge than her usual bubblegum pop look.

But it does keep the pink, and Katy is known for switching it up all the time anyway.



 ♥ Victoria Beckham on Glamour ♥

This is a total contrast to the cover above. Glamour went with a more girly, playful look for Victoria, which is definitely different for her.

 It almost makes you feel happy just looking at it...or maybe I just want to spice up my life.



♥ Gwen Stefani on Harper's Bazaar ♥

It's no secret that I am a big fan of both Gwen and her band (new record coming out, by the way). 

I think the magazines had a lot of pink on the brain, but that's cool with me, except I'm so used to seeing Gwen in a red lip.

♥ Miley Cyrus on Marie Claire ♥


I don't think I've ever seen Miley like this, as I believe this is a different makeup and styling path for her.

Does this cover make you want to read more or is it something you wouldn't flip through?



♥ Lady Gaga on Vogue ♥

I don't ever expect anything when it comes to Lady Gaga--meaning, I don't expect her to be girly or edgy or coy or loud. I just expect her to be Gaga.

She is a little unrecognizable on the cover, but it's definitely more of a haute couture look. 


My favorite covers are between Gwen on Harper's and Victoria on Glamour, but I think Gwen wins it because of that big pink hat thing.

I want magazine cover makeup to make the covergirl look a bit different and stand out, and that works the best to me with Katy on Elle and Miley on Marie Claire. Since I'm forcing myself to pick, I'm going with Miley on best makeup.

Gwen ~ best cover ♥ Miley ~ best makeup
Feel free to disagree.
