To get it even more colorful, you can take lipstick, and eyeshadow.
Put the lip balm in the microwave for a minute. (If it does not heat up right away, just do little incraments.)

Step 3: Then take your hair and pull some side pieces to use. Then do loose curls in your hair and use bobby pins to pin your curled ponytail up and all messy looking.

Step 4: Make sure to use a hairspray for all night last!!!


Braided Bun

Step 1: Brush your hair out and put it into a big, volumized bun.

Step 2: Then braid a section of your hair and use bobby pins to secure your braid.

HAVE A GREAT TIME AT HOMECOMING!!!!!! 

Homecoming How To's: Makeup

Hey Guys! So for all of you high schoolers, HOMECOMING is coming up! And if you aren't already excited enough, well get more excited because I will be showing a great makeup look that would be perfect for your dancing, crazy, fun night!


This is the look i am aiming for!!!! <3





Step 1: Start off with a clean canvas and put any acne treatments or facial cleansers about a week or two the night before homecoming to have fresh and healthy skin! I recommend the ZENO Hot Spot!!!!! 


Step 2: Use a nice foundation that is good for pictures and that won't just sweat off your face. I recommend Revlon Photo Finish! It's meant for pictures and will last all night long!

Step 3: Use a great under eye concealer that is a shade or two lighter than your actual skin tone because it will brighten up your eyes more! I recommend the MAC Select Cover Up. 


Step 4: Take a nice powder and set your concealer and foundation with it. I recommend the MAC Pressed Powder. 


Step 5: Take a nice pinky, coral color and smile to find the apples of your cheeks, then blend to your temples. I recommend the Sonia Kashuk Super Sheer Liquid Tint in Poppy. 


Step 6: For your eyes start off with a nice eye shadow primer. I recommend getting the Elf Eye Shadow Quad in Drama for this eye shadow look! If you don't get the Elf palette that's fine than just cope with what you have. Take a shimmery white color and apply that to the inner tear-duct, then take a light silver-gray sparkly color and apply that to the lid. Then take a sparkly dark silver and apply that to the highlight, and lastly take a sparkly black and apply that to the outer corner!

Step 7: Curl your lashes and apply mascara or false lashes. If you use mascara I recommend getting a waterproof one!

Step 8: Apply a black, waterproof, eyeliner to your waterline and smudge at the outer area.

Step 9: Take a light pink lip-stain and apply it to your lips! I recommend Benefit Posie Tint! Then take a light pink gloss and apply it over the lip-stain. I recommend Sonia Kashuk Ultra Shine Sheer Lip Gloss in Fairy!

HAVE A GREAT HOMECOMING!!!!!!!!

How To: Top Knot Bun

Hey Guys! I thought I would show you how to the top knot bun! This is a very trending hairstyle and I think that almost anyone can pull it off! I am absolutely in love with this hairstyle!
  

Step 1: Pull hair over and brush it out, I also spritz some water in hair if my hair will be hard to work with that day!
Step 2: Take all of the pulled over hair and put it into a regular high ponytail.
Step 3: Take all of the hair in your ponytail and wrap it around your hair until it is completely around, then tie with an elastic.
Step 4: Use booby pins or hair clips to secure any extra hair pieces and perfect it! Then use some hairspray and your done!

How To #3- Get Cute Hairstyles for Fall

I love the top knot buns! They look great with any outfit.

HOW TO:

• Flip you hair over and gather it into a high ponytail
• Secure your high ponytail with an elastic (Preferably your hair color)
• Twist your hair around the elastic and pin the bun with another elastic, or bobby pins.

A fishtail braid compliments any face nicely and looks gorgeous when it is loose and messy!

HOW TO:

• Gather hair to one side.
• Then start part that side of  hair you took and part it in two sections.
•  Then take one piece of hair, cross it over to the other side. (That piece of hair you crossed is now apart of that side of hair)
• Take another piece of hair and cross it over to the OTHER side. (And that piece of hair becomes apart of that side!)

The sleek pony tail hairstyle is very simple,and fast, but stylish!

HOW TO:

• Gel back your hair into a medium high pony (Or however high you desire) Secure it with an elastic
• OPTIONAL- Take a thin strand of hair and wrap it around the elastic then pin it in with a bobby pin to make it look more sleek

The snake braid is a little twist on a regular braid.

HOW TO:

• Grab a medium size section and start braiding that section.
• When you get to the bottom of your hair take the outer two sections (Or the outer left and right pieces) Put them together and bring it all the way up.
• Then it will look scrunched, but you just have to spread it out.

This style is perfect for the people that dont have the best hair days!

HOW TO:

• Gather your hair into a low, loose ponytail.
• Create a part right above your ponytail so your ponytail has a place to fit through.
• Then, grab your ponytail and push it through the gap that you created. After pushing it through, tighten the ponytail so it looks more done.

I do this dancer bun hairstyle so much. It's so simple, but yet put together.

HOW TO:

• Gather hair into a medium high ponytail. (DO NOT USE ELASTIC!)
• Then, twist your hair into a circle like shape. (Use your hand as a guide)
• Once you have a pretty good bun shape, wrap your elastic around the bun until it is secure.
