Beauty Editors Share The Most Unexpected Advice They’ve Received

Because we work in the beauty industry, it's pretty much a given that we know nearly every trick in the book when it comes to makeup, skin, hair, and the like. As obsessive product-triers — and sometimes, reluctant guinea pigs (all in the name of beauty, people!) — editors also receive some of the most outlandish beauty tips you can think of. And we try them, too.

We asked eight of our colleagues to share the most surprising bits of beauty advice they've ever gotten. Sure, it may sound a bit odd, but after reading through their experiences, we bet you'll be itching to test 'em out yourself. Turns out, there are a lot of beauty "rules" worth breaking.
