New trend alert: dip-dying
CakeStyle founder Cecelia pointed this new trend out to me, and I had to share it with all of you. It’s called dip-dying.
It pretty much makes your hair look like you dipped the ends in a bucket of colorful paint. If you’re blonde, you can go straight to dying it in all kinds of colors (my favorite combination is pink, turquoise and purple – peacock colors!); if you, like me, have dark hair, you’ll have to bleach the ends first. It might not be the best idea to try this on your own hair if you work in a law firm, but if you have a spare set of hair extensions you could dye that to rock this look on weekends. Or you could always wear your hair in a bun every day!
Here’s a great how-to on dip-dying from Free People! Would you try dip-dying? If so, be sure to show us some pics when you’re done!
I saw this amazing hairstyle on Pinterest and just had to share it with you all. I don’t have long hair, but I’m sure many of you do, and my little sister has long hair so I’ll be trying this out on her (she is my guinea pig). Check out the how-to above – it’s pretty simple once you get the hang of it, and it’s a very unique look!
Quick Tips for a Fabulous Face
It’s not just about the clothes you put on your back, ladies. You’ve got to pull the whole look together, and that means a little makeup too, and the right tools can highlight your positive features and minimize the negative ones. Read on for some quick and dirty tips to an office face.
SkinThis is your canvas, and that part of my face I’m most guilty of skipping. If I don’t have a zit, I’m loathe to waste time evening out my skin tone. In reality, there are things anyone can do in 20 seconds to make their skin look better, even when traditional foundations require blending and can be time consuming and heavy for daytime. Because of that, I recommend a tinted moisturizer to get a fast glow. My favorite is by makeup guru Laura Mercier and works well for everyone from 16 to 60.
CheeksBlush is a great way to brighten your face, but too many women are scared to use it. Bring out those cheekbones using a blush like Bobbi Brown’s in Apricot. If you accidentally put too much on, just grab a tissue and softly rub your skin until it’s softer looking. You can also use bronzer to this effect — just don’t put it anywhere else on your face.
EyesKeep it light and you’ll be easy on the eyes. If you want to make a big impact quickly, I suggest using an angled eye brush with very dark, highly pigmented shadow. Keep the color as close to your lash line as possible and you’ll highlight the shape of your eyes, and always finish off with black mascara - it really does work for everyone. In fact, just try to always put mascara on when you leave the house.
LipsPersonally, I hate shimmery lip color. It looks gorgeous… for about five minutes. Then you get crap in the corners of your mouth and it gets all smeared and sticky. I have two solutions for you — cherry ChapStick (seriously, it actually leaves a nice color and sheen!) or Korres lip butter. I have both on my desk right now, and they are both fantastic. I currently have the Korres in Wild Rose, but any of their colors are perfect.
There you have it. Perfect face, perfectly fast, no excuses.
