Wavy Sexy Soft Curls Tutorials & Makeup Palettes

 

{ SOFT WAVY HAIR TUTORIALS }

1) bubzbeauty – Soft Round Wavy Hair. Love the soft waves she managed to achieve using the technique she demonstrated! Nice!!

 

2) itsjudytime –Using the traditional CURLING IRON to achieve loose waves. The bigger the curling iron diameter, the bigger and looser ur hair curls will be… But I do find that big loose curls shows best with longer hair.

 

3) lollipop26 – I think she uses a GHD Straightener for this wavy hair look. I like how messy it looks towards the end and the effect is really great for people with Medium Length Hair!

Hope these videos help Blair!

 

{ MAKEUP PALETTES }

I had a sweet request from an aspiring makeup artist on some eye shadow palette recommendations . I list 5 of them and they are all great in their own unique ways. It really depends on the type of  look you want to achieve so, here goes:

 

1) NYX

Zip on over to Dee’s blog… She does a great review on this NYX palette. The colors are so gorgeous together and everything about this palette is SEXY! Can’t go wrong with NYX assortment of Eye Colors!

2) Coastal Scents 88 Color Palette – Matte or Shimmer

There are plenty of reviews for this palette on you tube and beauty blogs. I think to use these colors effectively, you need an eye primer.  For the Matte Palette, blending will require some work as compared to the shimmer palette. However, I have read that the shimmer palettes aren’t as pigmented or intense as the Matte ones. Overall, I think this palette is useful if you have a ton of Matte Eye looks to create.

Also, another tip for budding makeup artist is that coastal scents makes a variety of pretty decent palettes. Get those with the blushers as this can prove to be very handy when you want to minimise the amount of makeup u lug around..

Try to gun for their neutral/warm palettes too. They are very gorgeous and even better than the 88 color palette IMHO :) This palette is so so useful for bridal looks, makeovers and special occasions…

3) Manly 120 Eyeshadow Palette

My all time favourite eye shadow palette. This palette is uber value for $$. Let me sneak in a You tube Video from one of my Favourite Japanese You Tube Makeup Gurus - manwomanfilm!

She is so talented and almost all of her eccentric and brilliant looks are recreated with 120 Manly palette.

I purchased my palette on ebay and have gotten other makeup artists to test this out as well . They love and prefer it to the 88 coastal scents palette. So do I actually :P

* So easy to blend

* Colors show up great on pictures

* A wide assortment of bright, vivid colors

* Very little fallout, no irritation to eyes

* Primer is optional ( use it for an even more intense look)

4) Bee luscious

I am lusting over this palette. It comes with 4 blushers too and 2 lipsticks!! The color payoff is mad beautiful, watch the you tube video for a great review!

 

5) Ben Nye Lumiere Grande

These make excellent eye base and really help eyeshadow color to pop!! love these!

Anyone have any other makeup palettes tat u are gaga over??
