I figured I would do one of these, although I haven't been in school for the passed year. Even though there were almost never any cute guys in any of my classes, I always felt the need to wear something on my face to go to school. Sometimes, you feel like you need to look good for yourself and not for others.

I find this look to be perfect for accentuating brown eyes. This look can also be worn at the office, work, or for everyday occasions.

The lighting is off because I filmed at night, so I took pictures to show how vibrate the color turned up.

It's not the same as the Miu Miu f/w 2010 campaign, I don't have the same purple. I just felt inspired by the bright lilac color they used & did my own thing with it

This natural looking do is practical for everyday or an evening out without looking over done. You can easily build on this look by clipping hair back with bobby pins or some boho braids.

This is my favorite hair to date, it's casual and elegant at the same time. Plus, it is very easy to accomplish.


Here's what you need:

- Sunsilk Waves of Envy (optional) or any spray you can apply to wet hair to make it wavier
- Heat Protectant (any brand)
- 1" or 1.5" inch curling iron
- Hair Clip(s)
- Hair Spray
- Hair Serum (like Biosilk's silk therapy)
- Patience

Another great thing about this look is that if you get bored of it, you can wear it half up and half down. Maybe braid a couple of strands of your hair. If you like halo hairdos, take two strands from either side of your hair and pinning them together at the back of your head with either bobby pins or a pretty clip. Wavy hair like this also makes messy up-dos a breeze. Try putting your hair in a messy bun and leave some wavy strands out to enhance the effortless look.

What do you think about the look? Would you wear it?

The tutorial is using a Maybelline smokes quad in "Time to Wine" and here are some pictures of the look:


































I apologize in advance, I had to take these pictures with flash to show the eyeshadow because it was dark out. If it had been earlier in the day I could have taken pictures without flash too.

I like this quad for an everyday look, especially if you work in an office environment. My favorite colors in this quad would have to be the lid and crease colors because they color pay-off is very nice. The lid color is a nice plain matte beige that is understated but quiet lovely. I typically overlook those type of colors because they are not shimmery or exciting, but they are the best staples of most eye looks.

The crease color reminds me of Satin Taupe by Mac, I'm not sure that this would be similar enough to be a dupe. I don't have Satin Taupe (yet) but I have been looking for drugstore versions in order to see how I would like the color on.

The only down fall to this quad would have to be the brow bone shadow. It was light pink and full of chunky sparkles, which I hate.

Hope you enjoy this! :)

 

Loose braids whether they be french or not are a great alternative hair style this season and any other season as a mater of fact. It's easier than a perfect tight french braid and has a more "effortless chic" feel to it. You can rock a loose braid in almost any occasion and make it evening appropriate with minimal efforts, just add the right accessories. This do works especially well with vintage clothing too.
