Hot Hairstyle: French Braids


A hairstyle that has been all over beauty blogs and magazines this year has been French braids. Although this hairstyle has been around for several years, the French braid is becoming a very fashionable hairstyle to do. Not only is it practical and can be worn day to day, the hair is kept out of the face and still looks very stylish. Many people are put off French braiding due to how complex it looks, however this style is actually very easy to recreate. Below I have posted a video of one of my favourite YouTube videos on how to re-create this style.

Kylie Jenner Inspired Make-up Look

Hello my lovelies! Today I am coming to youse with an inspired make-up look from one of the hottest young females in Hollywood right now- Kylie Jenner. Just like her sisters, Kylie Jenner is an absolute beauty and her make-up is to die for. In these pictures above, Kylie is sporting a "natural" glam make-up look and I thought this would be quite easy to re-create. Although the lip colours are different, the over-all makeup in each appears very similar. With my help, I am going to show youse how to re-create this look for yourself, and of course, on a budget!

Steps:

1. Starting off, we first have to prepare the base. Moisturising and priming is key to help the make-up stay in place and create a nice smooth canvas. Applying the moisturiser you currently use, I would recommend waiting around 5 minutes just to let that sink into your skin. For primer I would use the Rimmel Stay Matte Primer. Like myself, Kylie always seems to have a very matte complexion, which is great if you are oily like myself and like being matte.

2. Now that we have our base ready, onto foundation! Since we have a matte foundation, I am going to recommend using a foundation that is not specifically tailored to the oiler skin types. To create the full coverage effect such as Kylie, the L'Oreal true match foundation is perfect! Using a Real Techniques beauty sponge with this foundation will give a flawless coverage. Remember when using this sponge to ensure its damp before use.

3. Onto concealer! A drugstore fave of mine is the collection lasting perfection concealer. Applying this under the eyes and onto any pimples will help ensure that full coverage. To set all this we must of course use the Ben Nye setting powder. This product is absolutely amazing, and I would 100% recommend this for all your make-up looks.

4. Made popular by her famous Kardashian sisters, contouring is key for this make-up look. I have linked a blog post all about highlighting and contouring which hopefully is useful for this part of the tutorial. The sleek palette is ideal for this as it has both the darker shade for chiselling out those cheeks and a lighter colour for making those cheek bones pop! http://beauty-and-thebudget.blogspot.co.uk/2016/02/how-to-contour-and-highlight.html

5. Although Kylie's brows aren't strong, they are very perfect and filled in. To recreate this I would use your natural eye brow shape and fill in sparse areas in your eyebrows with the Rimmel eyebrow pencil. Using a pencil will help mimic the hairs in the eyebrow and create a natural look similar to Kylie's.

6. Kylie's eye look in the pictures above looks very natural, however the eyelashes are very long, wispy and doll like. Using a black liquid liner, I would draw a thin line across the top eyelash line with the Miss Sporty Liquid Liner. For lashes I would generously apply a couple of coats of the Maybelline Volume Express mascara to both top and bottom sets. To achieve Kylie's exact look, applying a pair of the Eylure lashes in 141 will really finish the eye look off. 

7. In the above photo's of Kylie two different lips can be worn with this look. The Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms, would be ideal for recreating the look on the left hand side. The two shades I would recommend would be 'fierce' and 'standout'.  On the right hand side photo, the lip colour that Kylie appears to be wearing is very similar to her natural tone, but with a pink gloss over the top. A fave of mine would be the Natural Collection lip gloss in Turkish Delight.
