GAGA, Runway updo

What you'll need
Brush/comb/boar brush
Bobby pins
2 elastics
Gel/moose/hairspray
Hair extensions if your hair is too short

Brush hair throughout to eliminate any snarls and apply favorite texturizing product. It's easiest if you hang your head upside down to create very high pigtails like a bugs antennas.  Taking a small section of hair from behind each pigtail wrap around the elastic tucking the ends underneath and pinning securely. Backcomb both pigtail completely, taking your boar brush smooth out the pigtails and spray for a secure hold. Taking each pigtail in one hand wrap around the other hand towards your face like a ribbon on a present. The ends should be between your pigtails and directed to the back of your head and pinned in place crossing the pins for a secure hold use as many as needed for a secure hold. Spray a good amount of hairspray on the ends and smooth them with your comb or boar brush. Pulling your ends forward between your pigtails wrap over and under pinning in place.

Bridal,prom,formal updo

What you'll need
Brush/comb
3 small elastics
Clip
Hairspray/gel/moose
Several bobby pins

Brush hair completely to eliminate any snarls and apply your favorite texture product throughout your hair. Create a V shape section at the front of your hair and clip out of the way for later.  Create three vertical ponytails. Clip the top two ponytails out of the way and backcomb the bottom ponytail just enough to add texture. Loosely twist ponytail and grabbing one hair slightly cinch and twist into a bun bellow the second ponytail spray and pin into place. Repeat with the second ponytail creating a looser larger bun bellow the top ponytail. Repeat with the third ponytail making the third bun larger then the second.  At an angle split the V section in two parts, taking the first half twist inward grabbing a single hair and gently cinch it spray for hold and pull it back pin just above the bun and pull to the opposite side (if you grabbed the left side pull over to the right, if you pulled the right side pull to the left)drape over the buns pin under the bun side. Repeat with the second side of the V section when you pull it the opposite side cross over the first half and drape it over the buns from the other side and pin securely under the bun on the other side. Go through your hair and pull gently at the buns and twists to create volume and desired style. Spray finished hair and your finished. If you would like to add babies breathe, pearls, or decorative bobby pins.

Make-up that's out of this world



This look is wonderful because its one you can make it all your own. If needed find a space picture that calls to you or you would like to make your own. Ill get you started.

What you'll need
Desired color eyeshadow for this blog
    blue
    dark blue
    black
    shimmery white
     purple
    Dark green
Concealer or desired make-up primer
Lash glue
white Rhinestones multi sizes
eye shadow brushes/ tooth pic
Eye liner/gel liner
white paint
glitter
With this take it slow start with soft subtle colors and apply shadow in layers if you apply too much or rush it you will have to clean off and start over completely. Take it slow.

Apply concealer over desired area for this blog I am going to do a cosmic mask over both eyes and nose. With my shimmery white eye shadow I am going to create a milky way. Over my right eye I am going to create a backwards S shape starting with the arch section of my eye bringing it down under my eye and back towards my ear. I'm going to take the same white and create a crescent shape starting at the top of my nose and over my left eye brow arch and around my eye along my cheek bone fading into my nose, with the white still in hand I'm going to add small distant milky way balls maybe one above an eye brow another along my hair line or maybe a larger single one. Taking the lighter blue color I am going to fill in the entire space I want for my mask and over my eye lids leaving the white milky way swirls untouched. Layering as I go to create darker and lighter shades. Now with the dark blue and dark green I am going to go through again and add dimension to my eye lids and mask fading one color into another and using layers and swirls of colors from sections coming out of my milky way. As long as you take your time you really cant go wrong its your Galaxy. Taking the black I am going to go along the bottom outside of the mask layering it as I go shading it into the mask and applying it where i would like my Galaxy to be blackened with windows of space. Taking my purple I'm going to go through and use as a highlighter throughout to give brilliant pops of color. Taking the white again I am going to go through my milky ways to secure the color. With my black eye liner following my water line I am going to create a subtle liner if you want a more dramatic look play with it however your Galaxy calls for. After applying a few coats of mascara or fabulous space like false lashes I am going to go through with my lash glue and multiple sized Rhinestone or some rhinestones and white paint with a tooth pic to create the beautiful starry skies. Taking your glitter apply throughout your milky way swirls and over your stars. Hopefully this gets you started on your way to finding your Galaxy and creating your own universe. Celebrate yourself  your universe is yours for the taking. ENJOY


The next two tutorials I will not list a what you will need because it all varies on what you have available but I will list in the tutorials the tools used.

For space like lips find a stencil, stocking or lace that you feel fits the look you want. There are a few ways you can go about it. (optional) Start with black eye liner/lipstick tracing your lips and filling in completely. Place stencil tool over your lips and add color and remove, place stencil over your lips again in a slightly different place and add a different color continue this until desired look is complete for a starry look add glitter and your finished. Another way is to just start applying colors with stencil including a black color throughout. Another way is to apply the black eyeliner/lipstick, taking a colored tinted glitter gloss or glitter added to a tinted gloss over the black liner for a cosmic look.


Nails : These are fun, Choosing nail polishes with glitter i prefer polish with different size glitter and a solid black color, you can use solid colors and a glitter top coat(which is the way I will be showing you). Now the colors are up to and how you want your galaxy to look. apply a solid black polish to nails depending on the polish it may need a few coats. On a surface that you don't mind trashing poor a small amount of the polish and begin using the darker color polish on sat surface with a small sponge and dab along your nails. Repeat this process with each color going lighter and lighter as a highlighter I recommend only two colors but it is your galaxy. After applying the second highlight color and it dries go over it with glitter polish a glitter polish with a tint of color is fun to use as well. If polishes are limited you can simply use a solid black and a tinted glitter polish. Your done you are ready to party like shooting star.

Face pain/Make-up
   White
   Soft pink blush
   3 shades of  blue from Dark blue to a softer blue
   Gold
   Purple
   Black eye liner
   White eye liner pencil
   Light reflecting/glitter

 Make up brushes and applicators
 Ivory white face powder/ silver eyeshadow
 Blue eye liner pencil or eyeliner brush
 Blue mascara/ blue false lashes
 Lash glue (optional)
 Rhinestones(optional)
 Lace or stockings
I am only doing one eye if you wish to do both simply repeat with the other eye. Take your time with this and start softly working your way up to bolder darker color its a commitment with every dark stroke rush it and the look is ruined.

 Taking your white eyeliner draw your outline at the top of your eye crease completely across your eye lid crease connecting starting with the outer end with a cat eye line. Bringing it up touching the bottom corner of your eyebrow. In a downward beak style arch up the side of your nose and in a straight angle line down to the center crease of your nostril. About finger width from your tear duct inward draw a smooth arch down to the inside of top of your cheek bone along your eye socket following the bone structure to your temple. Bring it back along the top of your cheek bone up towards your tear duct. Connect to your nostril line in an arch to complete the downward beak shape along the side of your nose.  At the center of your eye lid with your black liner just bellow the arch draw lines from your crease line increasing in length from just a finger and a half width up your eye brow to your hair line just above your temple be sure not to press too hard its just a layout. Outside your new makeup layout with a brush or sponge apply white face make-up or foundations over your face followed by white foundation powder/silver glitter, make sure it is smooth almost airbrush in appearance leaving eyebrows untouched. Following the black eye liner out line up through the lines, filling between eyebrow to crease line around the cat eye fill in the top cheek bone line to your lower water line with the lighter blue color in a dabbing or brush motion. With the darker blue color and a liner brush just bellow your water line draw lines to the outside of your cheekbone layout line towards the temple. This is to simulate feathers so draw multiple lines so close together they almost touch making some ends touch,cross over and random line spaces left empty. With your gold fill in your eyelid outline through the side of your nose beak and ribbon along cheekbone to temple. Taking your black eyeliner draw a line across your eyelid from your tear duct up and out in a small loop up attaching to your gold crease cat eye line. Draw a circle from the corner of your bottom waterline around the side of your eye up over the top of  your gold line fill in with dark blue fading the eyelid side into your eye. Draw a larger circle outside the last one, it should now look like you have a center full dark circle  a lighter circle and darker outer circle the same width as the center lighter circle. Repeat the style of lines you created to the cheekbone line earlier around  the outer darker circle, this is where the lines through your eyebrow come into play go over the lines with your dark blue. These feather lines should be dark bold and solid in color. Taking your purple dab through the lines over your brow, with your brush long the temple side of your outer dark blue circle darker along the circle and fading lighter to your hair line. Taking your gold  mix with glitter and make six dots and with a liner pencil pull at your dots like bursts to look almost twinkling around your eye(in a crescent shape). If you don't feel comfortable creating the gold bursts you can replace them with rhinestones and lash glue.  With your blue eyeliner trace along your lash lines and just outside your water line. Apply your blue mascara or false lashes. Outline your lips with your blue liner and fill in completely, Securely placing the lace or stockings over your lips dab the purple or gold over the lace/stocking and remove. Apply your soft pink blush just under your cheek bones very subtly in and your finished. To make this look pop you can pull the side of your hair back with a peacock hair clip at the side of your head. Make it yours dust over with light reflecting or glitter, use different colors, its yours have fun with it.

Autumn nails

nail polish
 primer coat and top polish
  gold
  orange
  dark auburn or dark reddish brown
  almost transparent or multiple coat gold
this is the style not the actual look
  Thick solid gold 
  black
  copper
Tooth pick or nail styling tool
Leaves rub on (if you want to cheat)
rhinestones and glue (optional)
Tape (optional)
Between each color allow the polish to dry I will not tell you to do so throughout the tutorial.


Apply primer coat to nails and let dry. Apply the orange polish half way up your nail (if trimmed or desired width if your nails are longer) from the tip and as if you were making a side triangle fill in the corner of your nail with the orange polish. (Tape can be used for a cleaner line) Taking your dark auburn polish repeat what you created with the orange filling in the orange half way with the auburn to create a line of orange and the corner with auburn. Taking your solid gold polish draw a thin line through the auburn at the same angle you have been polishing. Taking your gold transparent polish apply one coat similar to the direction and style of the other two colors from the thick gold line and just above the orange. This will create a beautiful multicolor fall look. Now depending on your skill level on the remaining primer coat part of your nail you can apply the rub on leaves or autumn decorative, paint a vibrant color leaves with a small tooth pick, add rhinestones, or just apply a top coat and leave as is. OPTIONAL: instead of polishing one side of your nail you can overlap and cross the colors on either side when you feel ready....Make it yours enjoy
