Jewel Toned Makeover

 

 

How adorable is Maddy? 

 

She is absolutely precious and I had so much fun doing her hair!

Last summer we gave her a blonde streak in front. 

 

Before

 

She came in for a root touch up and I asked her how did she feel about doing something different?

I suggested we color the hair around her face back to her natural color and give her a streak just a little further back than what we had done before.

 

 

 

First, we colored the blonde around her face using Redken Shades EQ 07NB.

 

 

Then I applied bleach to the section I wanted and then wrapped it in foil.

 

 

I had Maddy sit under the dryer to help the bleach to process.

 

 

Looks great!  We shampooed her hair, dryed it, and then applied her next colors.

 

 

First, I applied purple hair color by Manic Panic.

 

 

Next I did a purple and blue ombre using Pravana Blue.

 

 

 

I love the way this turned out and so did Maddy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



The Best Eyelashes

 

Here's a quick tutorial on having amazing eyelashes.

When do you apply mascara? 

 

Always apply mascara after you've applied your eyeshadow and eyeliner.  Eyeshadow tends to "drift" and will cover up your mascara if you do it first. 

 

After you've applied your eyeshadow, you need to curl your lashes.  I recommend Shiseido's Eyelash Curler.  It is truly amazing.  Click here for more info on the Shiseido Eyelash Curler.

I'm serious about curling your lashes!  Do it several times to achieve the look you want.  Curled lashes make your eyes appear larger and wide awake!  Ooh aah...

 

 



Now, it's time to apply your mascara.  Maybelline One By One Volum Express is my go-to favorite mascara.  I used to love Falsies by Maybelline but this is so much better.  No clumps, it separates and defines each lash.

My. Very. Favorite. Mascara.

Get it in Blackest Black.  It's your eyelashes for Pete's sake.  Why are we applying mascara if we don't want them to show up?

I always start with the tops of my top lashes.  Apply mascara to the topside, squiggle the brush back and forth for maximum coverage.  Then apply to the bottom of your top lashes.  Apply mascara to your bottom lashes.  Don't forget your inner and outer corners- you have lashes there too!  Repeat your mascara application to add impact.

 

Enjoy your fabulous luscious lashes!
