Autumn Inspired look
Wednesday, November 24, 2010I thought I'd share with you this autumn inspired look. Since Thanksgiving is like a day away, I thought i'd do something based on Thanksgiving season. I incorporated orange, browns and greens to develop this look. The orange and brown remind me of the falling leaves from the trees. The green remind me of the color of the the grass.
Here I did a picture tutorial of how I applied my eye makeup.

I also tried out Andrea's choice heatless curl method and it worked pretty well on my hair. I should have twisted my bangs so that my bangs weren't so straight. I did it a little bit different than she did. Since my hair is thicker than hers and a bit wavy, I made sure my hair was 80% dry. I tried it completely dry and it didn't turn out that well. The bit of dampness left in the hair will help the curls be more defined, because once the hair is a little bit wet and you twist it, the twist will dry creating that nice curl. Instead of splitting just the top half of the hair and the bottom half then twisting it, I had to split the top of my hair in three parts and twisted it, and the bottom half in two parts because my hair is thick. I left it on a little bit more than 6-7 hours because I did it hours before I slept. Here's the video of Andrea's Video:
