‘At Cynthia Steffe, Bumble and bumble hairstylist Rolando Beauchamp went for a look that was “reminiscent of the Seventies.”  Models strutted the runway with a disheveled, wavy down ’do with a part in the middle.

“The hair is natural, brushed and disheveled,” said Beauchamp. “This makes it more like a cool girl.”

If I wanted to achieve this look, all I would have to do is roll out of bed and not brush my hair! Beauchamp on the other hand used a combination of Bumble and bumble Surf Spray, Grooming Creme and Does It All hair spray.

‘Makeup artist Christian McCulloch, who created the look for MAC Cosmetics, described what he created as “a very fresh, dewy, sultry summer look.

He mixed MAC’s Gloss Texture with the brand’s Strobe Cream, a highlighter, across the eyelids and cheekbones “to give a dewy, youthful glow.”

He added a concealer to perfect the skin and Lip Conditioner SPF 15 in a shade called Petting Pink to create a pale pink lip and “accentuate the fullness and color of the lips’.

I’m a little undecided on this un-kept look, but it does have a girly touch to it and reminds me of the beach!

This sure is an easy to do hair style!

What do you think?

Charlotte Tilbury from MAC Cosmetics created a groomed, all-American look. ‘Using a beige-to-natural palette, Tilbury brushed gold and silver hues (which looked almost wet) on eyelids, and accentuated eyes with individually placed false eyelashes, and a chocolate brown eye shadow worked into the socket of the lid. She made the eyes appear larger with a dusting of white gold shadow in the corners. Skin was “seamless” with base and bronzer. On the mouth, she applied a soft caramel lipstick with clear gloss on top’.

Hair sylist Eugene Souleiman, fashioned an expensive, natural and well-maintained style, by freshly shampooing each model’s hair, smoothly blow-drying and adding extensions for a touch of volume.  Souleiman also curled sections of the hair using a large barreled curling iron, and pinned each curl in place until just before showtime, when pins were removed and the hair was brushed out.

Thanks Wikipedia, but it doesn’t take a no brainer to work out that side buns, or more fancy “chignon” is a hot, elegant style that’s easy to do that suits everyone.  You can either have a fierce side bun with straight slick hair, or a move relaxed side bun with wavy hair, giving off a beachy feel.

Side buns are quite easy to do.  Part your hair on one side, tie a low pony on the other, and swirl it into a bun! Voila!  An instant easy hair style!  A classy change from your everyday pony tail!

Have a looks at the pics bellow for some more ideas!

Get your chignon on!

I went through a massive curl phase 2 years ago… Hot rollers were my godsend.  Rather than a defined curl, rollers give more of a wave.  As my hair is naturally wavy anyway, (looking back I don’t know why I used rollers?) I got over it.  But after looking at the pics below I changed my mind…Maybe I should invest in a curling tong! Clean, defined curls here I come!

For more ideas, check out Beauty Riot.com, as they have a great data base of basically every celebrity hair style under the sun.

So pretty!

mmmmmmmmm…..  curling tong is calling me!

Dry Shampoo

Dry shampoos are quick, easy and convenient to use.  Its basically like a hair spray that comes out in a powder form that absorbs the oil.  All you have to do is spray dry shampoo on your hair in areas where it is looking a little flat, (middle part, crown, just near temples).  Dry shampoos usually come out in a white powdery form, turning your hair gray (I love impersonating Cruella de Vil when I use it!).  Once you have sprayed the bits that need a pick me up, brush it out until hair returns to normal, and voila!  Non-greasy, bouncy hair without having to wash!

The best value for money is Batiste Dry Shampoo at only $8.99 for 150mL.  They come in a variety of ’sents’ (Original, Blush and Tropical) do a good job and smell great.  My favourite is Blush!  Batiste Dry Shampoo also comes in a mini 50ml, $4.95 each.

My all time favoutire (but most expensive – $5.99 for 50mL! ) is the Lee Stafford Poker Straight Dry Shampoo.  Not only does it give your hair a lift, somehow it re-straightens your hair too!  This is also the best smelling of the lot!

Another dry shampoo you might have heard of is the Klorane Oat Milk Dry Shampoo.   Its better value for money than the Lee Stafford, but nearly double the price of the Batiste ($13.99 for 150mL).  The Klorane Dry Shampoo doesn’t really have a sent… but it does its job!  For alot cheaper price you might as well stick with the Batiste as it works just as well.

Dry Shampoos are such a godsend!  Perfect for an instant fix to get rid of the ‘greasies’.  Great for camping, humid weather, just after gym etc.  Sometimes when your hair is looking bad, the rest of your day goes bad too!  Horrary for Dry Shampoos!

Hot tip:  Don’t use your Mason Pearson to brush it out, it makes your hair brush go all white and dusty!  Just use an old brush that you have at home.

Also, if you have overslept and need to ‘de grease’ do it before you shower… if you have just showered and moisturised the powder can stick to your face…

You also might want to cover your ear with your hand as you spray just above your ears!  (powder in the ears not good!)

Available at Priceline!

Face shapes aside, fringes are a great way to vamp up your look, you have to try getting a fringe once in your life time! (remember it always grows out!)

If you are going to get a fringe, you really have to be prepared to take the time to straighten it in the morning, or even give it a little wash.  As fringes are on the forehead they can get greasy very easily, especially when exercising or in the summer months.  I used to find that the rest of my hair would be fine, but then I would have this lanky fringe stuck to my forehead – not a good look.  Simply, just get a cup of water and dip your fringe in, give a little shampoo and dip again for a rinse, and then blowdry.  Getting the kinks out of your fringe is also important, but be careful not to over straighten otherwise you run the risk of looking like a Shetland Pony.  Basically my point is, if your fringe looks like crap, the rest of your hair will too.

Looking like a Shetland Pony baby

My main question is…. Side fringe or full on frontal?

Have a look at these pictures below….. notice anything?

Okay you might have noticed that the girls with the full on bangs or full fringes have poker straight hair, and the girls with the side fringes have slightly wavy and not so straight hair.  Why you ask?

Its because if you have a full fringe it looks way better with straight hair! That’s why! You rarely see fluffy haired people with full on bangs, well, except for Ugly Betty.

As I have naturally wavy hair and can’t be bothered straightening my whole head in the morning, a sidey would probably suit me better. But my heart yearns for a full frontal…. Oh the decisions!  I will fill you in after the big chop!

Makeup artist Stephane Marais, meanwhile, focused on a fresh face. “It’s more than fresh,” he said. “There’s a copper eyelid, very rosy cheeks and juicy, glossy lips.”

“There are very long bangs and very big hair,” said stylist Odile Gilbert, who added extensions to give oomph to models’ crops. Hair was also crimped and brushed to create volume.  Thats right crimped! Is crimping making a mini comeback?

I love bangs, they are such a makeover for the face, and great in winter for keeping your head warm! Im getting my bang back for winter, I can’t wait! What about you?
