Retro Ponytail Tutorial to Come
My favorite makeup trend for the Holiday is a bold lip. With some shade variation, you can wear it throughout the season to create a big style splash with minimal effort.
To achieve the look you need several items:
Once you’ve gathered your materials it is time to get started.
Voila—you’ve just applied your lipstick in the best way possible to ensure long wear. Add a winged eye and you’re ready to conquer any Holiday get together!
Geisha Updo
1) I started with damp hair since I was traveling without a blow dryer. For updos I usually suggest starting with day or two old hair because hair is easier to work with and style.
2) Gather a section of hair in the front to create a poof out of. Take more or less hair depending on how dramatic you want the hairdo to be. Tease the hair at the root. Comb to smooth the top, and secure with bobby pins.
3) Next, gather a slightly larger section of hair behind the first poof. It works best if you gather this section primarily from the crown of your head. Thoroughly tease section, and mold into a second poof. Secure with bobby pins and spritz with hairspray.
4) Pull the side sections on the temples of your head tightly against your head. Make sure they are smooth, and bobby pin them at the base of the larger poof.
5) Gather the remaining hair, and form a small bun just below the second poof. Pin tightly, and spritz with hairspray.
Pair with rouge lips and liquid winged liner and enjoy!
Messy Braided Updo
1) Start with 2 day old hair that has some texture.
2) Separate your hair into pigtails.
3) Loosely braid each side. To make it even looser/chunky pull apart braid when you are done.
4) Pull one braid up and fasted to your head with bobby pins. Since this is a messy swept up look, don’t put too much thought into it.
5) repeat on the other side.
6) spritz with hair spray, and voila you have a cute messy fall undo!

Rocker 1/2 Up Do
1) Start with day old hair
2) Section off from your hair line to the crown of your head. Next take that into three sections
a. The majority on top that will be poufed
b. The right side (to be braided)
c. The left side (to be braided)
3) French braid the left and right sides and fasten with elastics.
4) Begin teasing hair at the grown in order to create enough volume for your pouf. Bobby pin into place.
5) Take the remaining hair in front and gently tease, and comb smooth over the pouf created in the previous step. Pin in place, and spritz with Elnett.
6) Take the left and right braid and wrap it back along the base of your pouf. Secure with pins.
7) Finishing touches: Spritz with Elnett or a shine spray, straighten bottom hair if desired.
Loose Messy Side Braid
1) Make a deep side part to either the left or right side.
2) Grab a 3-4” section from the front of the side part, comb it smooth, and fasten it to the side using bobby pins.
3) Take all your hair to the same side the you pinned your hair. Divide your hair into three sections.
4) Braid the hair and fasten with a ponytail holder.
5) Pull braid apart to create a loose messy look.
6) Finish with hair spray, and shine spray if desired.
Pair your messy braid with a chunky cable knit and enjoy the Fall weather!
German Braid
1) You can do this style with straight or curly hair. If you start with straight it will be more sleek, and if you start with curly it will be more boho. Both are great!
2) Part hair all the way down your head as if prepping for pigtails. I like to put my hair slightly off center, but you can really part it wherever you want as long as each pigtail hair section is pretty much even.
3) Braid your pigtails.
4) Wrap one side of the braid around your head, and secure tightly with bobby pins.
5) Repeat with the other braid.
VOila—you’re dutch!
