Former Miss Spain Becomes First Openly Gay National Beauty Queen

Patricia Yurena, a two-time former Miss Spain (2008 and 2013) and runner-up for Miss Universe in 2013, came out as gay when she posted a picture of herself and her girlfriend almost kissing to Instagram. It's a gorgeous shot and an exciting revelation; one that will hopefully support future gay beauty queens in living their truths while also wearing a shit-ton (technical term) of glitter and sky high heels. Work it, ladies.

"I published the picture completely spontaneously and in an impulsive manner. Thank you for all your support," she tweeted as a follow-up.

Yay, Yurena! Now, can you tell me how you get your hair so damn shiny and silky and smooth? It probably involves making a deal with the devil and then decapitating a unicorn, but it might be worth it.

What Better Way to Celebrate National Girlfriends Day Than to Highlight Our Favorite Makeup BFFs?!

With all of the pretty being celebrated on National Girlfriends Day, it made us think about the beauty products that go together like Cher and Dionne or Carrie and Samantha to create the gorgeous looks we wear 24/7. Behold the makeup BFFs.

Going for a red lip? Its no-brainer beauty partner in crime is a black liquid liner. Whether you go for a thick or thin line that's winged or just simply lines your eye, this pairing is a must for date night. Try Nars Lipstick in Fire Down Below, $26, sephora.com and Guerlain Liquid Liner, $37, sephora.com.

Who doesn't love a sultry smoky eye?! When rocking one, we automatically think of its counterpart: the nude lip color. Having a pinky nude on your lips lets your eyes be the focus and get all of the attention. But don't worry, your lips are bound to get some action, too, with a shade like this coating them. Try Dior 3 Couleurs Smoky Eye Palette, $48, nordstrom.com and L'Oréal Colour Riche Lipstick in Fairest Nude, $9, drugstore.com. 

It's still summer so you best believe the sunkissed look is still very much a thing. To get that midas touch on your mug, turn to your trusty bronzer and a golden creme eye shadow. The combo will leave you looking glowy and gorgeous—not glistening. Try Too Faced Endless Summer 16+ Hour Long-Wear Bronzer, $30, toofaced.com and Flower Color Play Creme Eyeshadow in Good as Mari-Gold, $8, walmart.com.

Two products we just can't get enough of this season: a mascara that gives us that doe-eyed effect and a cream blush that leaves you looking fresh-faced. Try YSL Volume Effet Faux Cils Baby Doll Mascara, $30, nordstrom.com and Revlon PhotoReady Cream Blush in Coral Reef, $13, soap.com.

Anytime you're flaunting a bright shade on your lips, keep that area the focal point by balancing it out with lighter shades on your eyes and some highlighter on your cheekbones. That way you'll have a vibrant shot of color on your mouth and a more ethereal look to the center of your face.

Will you be using these makeup BFFs this weekend before going out with your bestie?
