Getting my hair into a style is difficult enough. Taking a photo of it is a whole other challenge.
Instead I am going to show you two tutorials that I have followed with some success:
1. Violet Le Beaux’s Overheard Summer Plait tutorial
This took me a while to get the hang of but I can say that I have actually left the house with hair like that.
2. The Rookie Two Minute Beehive tutorial
I did it! I achieved this style! And as soon as I put my hands on a camera it started to collapse.
Look! I have been experimenting with more colour combinations. I love the effect of putting green with other dark colours – it seems natural and dramatic. I wanted to dress like some kind of forest-dwelling princess today, with cats-eye makeup. Gala Darling posted today about Dressing With The Essence Of Fairytales, which is one of my favourite styles. I love crimped and wavy hair, floaty clothing, and you probably already know about my tiara obsession. The problem was that she had already posted yesterday about her latest Fashion Darling column for Cosmopolitan, in which the second secret of awesome eyeliner has finally been revealed (I’ve already written about the first secret).
I had to combine the two. I went for gold eyeshadow and black liquid eyeliner, but then pressed emerald green eyeshadow (Bourjois’ Noir Emeralde) on top of the eyeliner whilst it was still wet. I think I did a pretty good job! You can’t see it very well here, hopefully there will be better pictures for tomorrow! Of course I’ve got to try it again!
So this isn’t a completely narcisstic post, here are my links of the day:
Katie Bair’s Petting Zoo Wig Design: The most wonderful wigs I have ever seen. Some of them are in jawdroppingly amazing styles. I wonder how comfortable the most elaborate are to actually wear.
The Most “Me” Item of Real Jewellery Ever: Silver! Amethyst! A key! Want! Need! Love!
