1. Bandana Style Technique

If you have a larger scarf that you’d like to tie around your neck without the bulkiness, the bandana style is a great way to do it. Simply fold it into a triangle, and bring the two smaller ends around your neck. Find out all the details over at Cort In Session’s blog.

2. Tartan Poncho

If you have a giant blanket scarf, then you’ll love this genius tying technique. Drape it around your shoulders and then tie a belt around your waist. This style will provide some extra warmth for your arms too! Find out more over at Karamode’s website. 

3. Over Under Style

Here’s a clever style for a long skinny scarf that is thin and flowy. The key is to fold it in half first, and then drape that half around your neck and tuck the ends through in alternating ways. Head on over to One Good Thing By Jillee to check out all the info on this technique.

4. Belted Blanket Scarf

Here’s another cool way to incorporate a belt with your scarf. Start with a large blanket scarf and fold it in half so it forms a triangle. Then simply drape it around your neck and belt it. Make your way over to Life With Emily to find out more about this fun look.

5. Half-Tied

6. Bow Style

For an extra feminine touch to your outfit, give this one a try. This style done with a large silk scarf, but a similar look could be achieved with a smaller one too. Fold it in into a triangle, grasp clumps from the two sides and wrap a hair tie around it! Found here. 

7. Woven Scarf Knot

8. Knotted Scarf

This scarf has the look of a knot, which it is, but it has a bit more to it than just a plain old double knot. Here, you’ll start with a single knot on one side and then slip the other un-knotted side through it. Head on over to Good Housekeeping to see three other ways to tie a scarf.

9. Bow Tie

This style looks like a giant bow… so cute! For this one, you can use any scarf that’s longer than it is wide. Begin by grasping one end and making it into a circle, then pulling the other end up and around. Check out the full photo tutorial at Yet Another Beauty Site.

10. Skinny Tie

If you’re into the simple style associated with the uber stylish ladies of Paris, then you might want to give this idea a try. For this look, you’ll need a long skinny scarf which you will loop around your neck and then tie once. Found over on Blair Eadie’s Instagram account.

11. Scarf Necklace

You can even turn a scarf into a necklace of sorts, which is a great way to take advantage of your collection even when it’s warm out. This style is done using a pashmina. Make your way over to Julep to find out how to do this style, as well as a couple of others.

12. The Knot Style

13. Regular To Infinity

Here’s a clever one… this tutorial shows you how to turn a regular scarf into an infinity style, no sewing required! Simply tie the ends together, and then loop it twice around your neck. Head on over to the Vera Bradley blog to check out this and many others.

14. The Parisian

This one has a bit of a twist, with the ends tied and displayed rather than hiding them away underneath. Fold it in half into a triangle and tie the ends, then loop over your head twice and show off those ends proudly! Head over to Her Campus to see more ideas.

15. The Braid

Here’s a fun one which will surely get you some compliments. Begin with a folded triangle, fold that in half, then loop that around your neck and poke the ends through the loops. Check out the full photo tutorial over at Style By Joules, along with lots of other ideas.

16. The Neck Wrap

This is just a small variation on any of the more traditional ways to tie a scarf, but this one looks unique because the section that wraps around the neck covers the knot so it looks nice and clean. Find out how to recreate this look over at Hello Glow.

17. Scarf Belt

Here we have a scarf wrapped around the waist, creating a belted effect. This was done at the Marc Jacobs runway show, but could easily be recreated by any of us regular folk. Just fold a large scarf into a triangle and tie it above your hip. Found here.

If you’re looking for a full coverup for the beach, look no further! This might be one of my favorite ways to tie a scarf. You’ll need a large one for this style… simply wrap it around your body and loop the ends around your neck. Check out the photo instructions here.

22. Twisted Scarf

This is a pretty look for any long, skinny scarf… wrap it all the way around your neck once and then wrap the ties around and around that loop repeatedly on both sides. Make your way over to the Lady Violette blog to check out the full photo tutorial.

23. The Brooch Tie

How To Apply Eyeliner For Different Eye Shapes?

Source: pinterest.com

1. If You Have Wide Set Eyes

Women with wide set eyes should focus on enhancing the inner corner of the eyes, which makes the eyes look close to one another. To do this, you must start with the lining of the tear duct and do not go more than the outer corner of the eyes.

Source: blogspot.com

2. If You Have Deep Set Eyes

If you are one of those with lovely deep set eyes, stop making the thick lines on the lids and do not smudge the liner on the top lash line, because the eyes would look more deep and sunken. What you need is a thin line as close to the lash line and only half of the outer eye should be lined- top and bottom.

3. Women With Monolid Eyes

Women with monolid eyes can wear eyeliner too, and even though the base is flat and sans the crease, there are eyeliners for eye shapes with monolid specifics to use. A thin line on the top lash line from the inner corner should be done all the way, thicker as you move ahead to the outer corner of the eye.

Source: pinterest.com

4. For Hooded Lids

Women with eyelids that droop downwards have hooded lids. The aim here is to make the eyelids look big with the help of eyeliner. Start with thickening of the lash base where the eyeliner should be used between the roots of the lash in thin strokes, and thicken as you head to the outer corner of the eyes.

5. For Round Eyes

If you would like to make your round eyes look long and nice, the outer edges should be lined on the lash line which brings about a flicked winged look.

6. Almond Eyes Lining

Almond eyes are the most desirable eyes to doll up, and most makeup artists would love working on such eyes. Winged eyeliners compliment the wonderful curves of such eyes and with a flick on the outer corner, a dramatic divaish look comes through.

Source: herinterest.com

7. For Small Eyes

The aim is to make the eyes look big, which is why the bottom tear line shouldn’t be touched with eyeliner. What you should do is swipe thin strokes on the top lash line and the outer corner of the bottom lash line only.

Source: vanitynoapologies.com

8. If You Have Big Eyes

Everyone wants their eyes to look big and nice, which is why different types of eyeliner should be used for the grand effect to come through. With large eyes, you must line the top and bottom lash or water lines which wouldn’t make the eyes look too small. Cat eyes and winged eyes work best here.

Source: pinterest.com

9. Close Set Eyes

We spoke about wide set eyes and how to line them, now let us look at close set eyes too. The outer corners of the eyes should be focused upon with a soft eye pencil, and the liner should be applied very thin at the inner corner of the eyes. The outer corner of the eyes should be lined thick and nice. If you tight line the inner corner of the eyes, it would make the eyes look smaller, so quit doing that.
