1. Big Clumpy Eyelashes

via identity-mag.com

When we put our mascara on, we really try not to make our lashes clumpy. So, you may ask then why are we putting this on the list? Here’s why: when done fine, clumpy lashes look chic and can make your eyes appear bigger. This is a trend from the 60’s and 70’s, so we can say for sure that this look is such a retro one. It’s exactly the way former fashion model Twiggy used to wear her lashes, and we admit that it made her eyes look as two big, blue jewels. So, then next time when you try not to make them clumpy, do the opposite.

2. All Things Bronze

via celebstills.com

The bronze makeup is a perfect way to get a sun – kissed look and if applied right, it can reaally flatter your face by using gold, beige, bronze or similar shades. Use bronze eye shadow to blend it over, while for the cheeks, the forehead, the chin and the temples use a bronzer. You can also use a highlighter for the cheekbones, the forehead and the nose. It’s also preferred to use a similar shade for the lips as well, but here you can experiment with textures, so if you previously used matte or shimmery makeup, now you can use lip gloss. It will give away a summer-ish look.

3. Under Eye Shadow

via en.louloumagazine.com

For some this is too much, but it’s never too late to try out new things! Applying eye shadow or a layer of eye pencil under the eye can make them appear bigger, or at least it can put an accent on your eye color. It’s all about playing with shades and colors, so as pictures, you can apply one color on your eye lid, and another under. Blue and bronze go great together, doesn’t they? Don’t be afraid that you are going to look ridiculous with makeup like this. When done right, it looks very chic!

4. Contoured

via elle.com

Unfortunately not all of us were born with cheek bones that we won’t have to contoure, but as many times, makeup is here to save the day. When it comes to contouring, the texture of the makeup is really important and in this case it’s recommended to stick with matte. Another very important thing is the brush. You will need a regular foundation brush and a smaller one for more precise contouring. Of course, if you don’t feel like you need to contour your whole face, stick to one or two places that you would like to have contoured.

5. Shimmery Brown

via aninesworld.theyouway.com

Brown color and similar shades are mostly suitable for brown and hazel eyes, but it will work just fine with blue as well (Miranda Kerr is the real proof for that!). There is a wide range of eye makeup that you can use, but what we recommend is definitely shimmery brown. It is great for any occasion, from work to parties, and yet it is just a gentle and subtle eye shadow. Combine it with a lipstick or glossy lip and you’re ready to rock your world!

6. Vintage

via harpersbazaar.com

Dolce&Gabbana fashion shows are real vintage inspiration, and the makeup is no exception to this. We see their models having the pin – up makeup and it’s really charming, so when in doubt, always go for this. Cat eyes and bold lipstick is the two very things for the vintage look, so make sure to master applying them. Learn how to apply cat eyes according to your eye shape and this is a really important step because cat eyes have the function of flattering our eyes, so if we apply them the wrong way, it’s highly possible that it won’t look good on us.

7. Bold Makeup

via wocmakeup2.tumblr.com

Many women mostly go for neutral, earth tones when applying makeup, but sometimes it’s okay to escape a bit from our routine and try something bolder. Play with colors and textures! If you always used to wearing a matte lipstick, this time try a lip gloss. If you used matte eye shadows in neutral colors, try something shimmery and make it a bold color. Simply experiment, but be careful – make a balance between everything in order to avoid a messy look.

8. The French Look

via makeupmyday.co.id

Ah, the French ladies always have a way to capture our heart. Maybe over the years the classic way French ladies do their makeup became more of a stereotype that we like to nurture, but however that is, we cannot argue over whether it looks nice or not. It simply does. All you have to do to achieve this so – called “French look” is just applying a red lipstick (or other bold color) and maybe a little bit of mascara on your eyes. It’s simple and it gives that effortless, “je ne sais quoi” look.

9. Smokey Eyes

via blog.gojane.com

If there is one thing so sure about this makeup technique, is that smokey eyes is the sexiest of them all. Perfect for going outs, the smokey eyes will help you look chic and maybe even more attractive in the eye of some people. It gives a deep look and draws attention to the eyes. Mastering this technique can be tricky the first few times, but as they say – practice makes it perfect. So, next time when you’re going in a club, don’t hesitate to take the time and give your eyes the most beautiful makeup look they can get.

10. The “No Makeup” Makeup

via kickbackwithcate.com

So, what’s the deal with this “no makeup” look? You may wonder if it’s the same if you don’t have any makeup, but the answer is no. But, getting this look is quite easy too. Start with your brows. As you can see on the picture, Victoria’s Secret Angel Taylor Hill has groomed and full brows. If you have thinner, use a pencil to make them appear fuller. When it comes to the skin, you can use a foundation and apply just a bit of highlighter, and you can also apply soft pink or peach blush to the cheeks. Last step is applying mascara just enough to give a bit of a bold lash look and for the lips, use lip gloss or lipstick in neutral colors, such as nude or light pink.

The post Cool Makeup Looks Every Woman Should Try Out appeared first on 12thBLOG.

1. Romantic Spring Makeup

Romantic makeup looks are the easiest go-to makeup for spring. It’s a good pick me up of rose toned colors, brighter than the previous season’s staples and it beautifully shows off feminine features, very much like the blooms starting to come out this time of the year. I can imagine wearing this with an equally dainty looking spring dress!

2. Peach Spring Makeup

A peach hue is not only timeless but also rather effortless in how this color speaks of spring. Always fresh and glowing, a peach-toned spring makeup look will definitely be a sight for sore eyes this time around.

3. Copper Tones Spring Makeup

Right around this time is a good way to show off your coppery peach-gold makeup colors, not quite spring yet but the anticipation of a warmer breeze definitely shows in these kinds of spring makeup looks, plus a good romper outfit to give the edge off this makeup look a boost.

4. Halo Eyes Spring Makeup

A good way to put color on your face but not to overdo it is to create a halo of color around the outer corners of your eye. It frames the eye beautifully but it gives off such an effortless made up look perfect for the springy atmosphere, keep your foundation natural looking to really exude a laid back spring vibe about you.

5. Pastel Spring Makeup

If you have a good stock of pastel colors in your vanity, now is the best time to wear it. Pastel colors around the eyes give off such a youthful vibe coupled with a light blush and pinkish tint to the lips, this spring makeup looks just like you stepped right out of the runway lending your bohemian creative vibe to the streets.

6. Pink Spring Makeup

You can never go wrong with the right shade of pink, pair it with the colors of your blush and your lip and this spring makeup look will give you such a natural radiance about you, which is perfect for a spring dinner with friends.

7. Lilac Spring Makeup

Of course, how can we forget about Lilac? Lilac is such a spring makeup color and it is such a hot pair to spring nails! but not a lot of people use it, so here I am posting this to remind everyone why this color has to be on everyone’s peepers this season.

Take a look at this beautifully inspiring spring makeup tutorial by Simply Kenna:

The post Awesome Spring Makeup Looks appeared first on 12thBLOG.

1. Soft and natural

Are you not someone who generally wears a lot of makeup in your daily routine but you’d like to get every so slightly fancy for this particular date? Then this Lauren Curtis tutorial for a softer, more natural look is the one for you! It walks you through the steps for applying makeup with a light hand so that it looks like you’re wearing hardly anything at all, letting you stay true to your features.

2. Shimmering rose gold

Have you been as obsessed with rose gold shimmers and chromes as we have lately? We can’t get over how pretty a shining rose shade looks on the centre of the eyelids and blended out to the edges. HCG Dominicana teaches you how to get that look but intensify the eye by also blending a slightly darker crease. Pair the look with a matte lip in the same rose shade, but without the shimmery gold aspect so that things stay au naturel.

3. Golds and browns

Were you pretty into the gold aspect of the look above, but you’d stick with that and skip the rose part? Then trying pairing a shimmering gold lid with a series of matte browns in the corners and crease instead! easyNeon suggests topping the look off with a strong brow and a subtle wing to really give the eyes a calm glamour.

4. Blue and gold smoky night eye

Are you actually a little bit more experienced in makeup and you’re just looking for makeup tutorials that will walk you through new colour combinations so you can really show your skills off? Then we definitely recommend this pretty gold and blue smoky eye! It will make for a particularly intense look if you have blue eyes, but we agree with My Eyeshadow that it’ll actually suit anyone.

5. Subtle dark green smoky eye

Do you like the idea of a smoky eye but you just don’t think that a full on black and silver glamour look is quite right for what this particular date night involves? Try a more toned down version instead! Grand Makeup shows you how to create a smoky corner using a shade of dark green rather than intense black and a full smoky crease.

6. Subtle glam

Maybe you really do want a bit of glamour but you also don’t want to look like you’re going to a formal event when the night is set to be quite casual? Then try using a palette that includes shades of taupe and gray with just a touch of shimmer. This tutorial from Fashion Inspiration is another good one for practicing your smoked corner technique.

7. Shimmery slate smoky eye

Was the part of the look above that really caught your attention the shimmer part rather than the smoky eye? Then tone down the darker blended colours and let the slate or silver shimmer have a little more room to shine. We love the way Jenna Roisen added light browns in the crease to really differentiate the lid without letting an overly dark crease steal the show.

8. Natural taupe and gold

This look is essentially a magnified version of the look above, but with gold in place of slate or silver! It’s been intensified slightly around the crease and under the eyes where a thin smoky line gives some balance, but you’ll find that the techniques on Makeup Tutorials are ones you can manage. We quite enjoy the strong brow they’ve paired this style of eye with! It makes a statement.

9. Coral lips and a beauty mark

Maybe you’re already well versed in what style of eye makeup you like and what colours or shapes there look good on you, but you’d like suggestions for the rest of your face to create a completely cohesive look? Then check out how Facequizite used bright coral lips and a well placed Hollywood style beauty mark to really give the final look some unique style.

10. Petal lids and lips with dark corners

Were you intrigued by the rose gold idea we talked about above but you found yourself wishing it had just a touch more pigment? Then don’t be afraid to dabble into the world of darker petal shades! Cool beauty Tips suggests matching a deep petal pink eye with a similar lip and then giving things more intensity by darkening the outside corners on each side.

11. Wings and red red lips

Makeup looks that incorporate a dark crease have been trending for a while now and, while we find them gorgeous, we know the style isn’t for everyone. Liz of SS is here to remind you how pretty a simple black cat eye over lightly dusted lids can be, especially if you pair that look with a classically bright red lip.

12. Well blended neutrals

Are you a huge fan of makeup but not the world’s biggest fan of using a lot of colours near your eyes? Then you should definitely check out this tutorial from I Am Dodos to see how gorgeous totally neutral looks can be! Matte taupes and browns in different dark and light shades let you build natural glamour in an understated way.

13. Bold lips and brows

We’ve talked a whole lot about different eye makeup techniques and you’ll find that a lot of makeup tutorials concentrate on the eyes as well, but Virtantiq is here to remind you that lips and brows are important as well! Don’t be afraid to make them dark and intense so that they really stand out, particularly if the eye makeup look you’re doing is high glamour or eye attention grabbing and smoky.

14. A defined crease

Have you been absolutely enamoured by the pretty creases you’ve seen all the way through this post, but you think they’re so neat that you’d actually like to try a much more defined cut crease instead of blending it out into subtlety? Then check out how Yay Trend did this rather mod looking style using black and white tones!

15. Wings and a glitter crease

The post 15 Makeup Looks for Date Night appeared first on 12thBLOG.

Instagram / klaudiabadura

Black and gold looks so pretty with green eyes. Mixing black and gold for shimmering eyes, looks phenomenal. To finish the look off, add the same gold eyeshadow to your water line and use a white cream to the corner of your eyes to stand out.

Try to avoid silver. If you want to add a metallic shade to your eyelids, keep to bronze or copper tones. Silver doesn’t always look as great on green eyes and it certainly doesn’t show how good and sexy they are. If you do intend to wear silver, go for a deeper, darker steel shade, which works better.

2. Tutorial for Green Smokey Eye

Look at these four shades – emerald green, deep purple, dark red and white. Picture one shows the eye without any makeup on and as you go through the photos, you can see how dramatic and attractive these colours make green eyes look. Try this today to release your sexy vibe.

Products used: MAC eyeshadows in “Shroom”, “Embark”, “Brown Script”, and “Soft Brown” & ABH eyeshadow in “Emerald”.
3. Copper Makeup Look

Instagram / heidimakeupartist

Copper colour shades looks amazing. Copper tends to highlight green eyes and makes your eyes have a wide-awake appearance.

If you have green eyes, try switching your black eyeliner and mascara to brown. This will instantly give you a different look. Black tends to be overpowering and harsh. It will add a warmer shade to your eyes before you even apply your eyeshadow.
4. Peach & Gold Eye Makeup Look

Instagram / stylistanna

Peach can sometimes looks like copper so this colour will work well too. This is a slightly softer look and not as shimmery on the eyelid as the copper tone. This is perfect for a daily into evening makeup.

Products used: ABH eyeshadows in “Sienna”, “Orange Soda”, “Fuge”, “Metal”, and “Metallic”; Waterline: ABH “Metallic Luster Liner”.
5. Black Smokey Eye with a Pop of Glitter

Instagram / miaumauve

We all know that black, smokey eyes look sexy on any colour eye. This will look amazing for a night out with your green eyes. Add a touch of silver or white to the corners of your eyes near the tear duct and for the extra glam, apply a pop of glitter to below your water line.
6. Cut Crease Look

Instagram / taniawallerx3

If you haven’t heard of the cut crease look, you simple need to know. It’s the new makeup craze that Kim Kardashian West loves and we can see why. If you have small eyes, it creates the illusion of bigger eyes making them stand out. The best tip for applying eyeshadow this way would be to use a spoon. Hold the spoon over your eye and use the spoon line to guide you. Apply a darker eyeshadow above your eyelid crease and use lighter and softer shades below, then blend. It’s that simple.
7. Glamorous Light Purple Eyes

Instagram / loveyadearly

For a glamorous style, go for a light purple shade and apply to your eyelid. Apply a deeper purple above and a white to the corner of your eye. Blend the deep purple in above your crease line and add a bit of sparkle to the lilac shade.

Bear in mind that not everyone with green eyes will like purple or lilac. You might love your green eyes with black mascara and that fits perfectly with your charisma and style. It’s all about experimenting and practicing to find out what suits you and your character. Your friends may have green eyes too, but remember, there are different shades of green. We all like different things and we have created this as a guide to give you a few ideas on how to highlight your emerald eyes.
8. Green & Gold Eye Makeup Look

Instagram / makeupby_ev21

Just because you have green eyes, doesn’t mean you should stay away from the green eyeshadows. As you can see above, green works so well with green eyes, especially if you pair it with gold. Apply the green shade to your eyelid, then line your lid with a sparkly gold eyeliner, winging out the end. This will act as a border between your green eyes and green eyeshadow.
9. Matte Pink + Winged Liner

Instagram / beautsoup

For a softer, girly look, combine matte pink with a cat eye. Usually winged liners or cat eyes can be very dramatic but with this matte pink, it’s give a pretty and feminine style. Add a gorgeous nude colour to the lips and you will look amazing.
10. Gold & Purple

Instagram / loveyadearly

Teaming gold and purple together is a match made in heaven for green eyes. This picture shows just how stunning your green eyes can look. Keep the purple on and below the waterline and the gold in the inner corner of the eye. Perfect!
11. Fun Makeup Look for Summer

Instagram / champagnewhisper

It’s coming up to summer and we tend to experiment more with makeup during this season. The sun is out and you want your makeup to reflect the vibe. This is beautiful fun makeup at its best. If you start practicing this now, by the time summer comes, you’ll be an expert and all your friends will be asking you to do their makeup!

Products used: Sigma Beauty “Paris Palette” & Morphe Brushes “350 Palette”.
12. Gold Glitter + Cut Crease

Instagram / danapackett

Sexy, sleek and sparkly. These are the three words that describes this look. Cut crease technique is trending so you need to copy this look. We think the cut crease and gold glitter is a perfect combination. The gold glitter looks amazing on the eyelids, right?
13. Purple Glitter Eyes

Instagram / makeupbyevva

As mentioned, purple is a winner with green eyes. On the colour wheel chart, purple is the opposite to green and therefore it’s a good choice. If you are out shopping and forget about colours will suit green eyes, remember to stick to the warmer shades versus the cooler shades.

Add a touch of glitter to the striking purple shade to add some glam. Apply black eyeliner to create a thick winged cat eye and to widen your eye, use white eyeliner for inside your waterline.
14. Stunning Smokey Eye with a Pop of Glitter

Instagram / lauraapadillaa

It’s all about the smokey eye and glitter. Blend your eyeshadows to create a sexy smokey look and add some glitter. Glitter looks great under the eye and adds to the mysterious feel. As this is heavy but quite subtle and neutral in colour, you can always brighten your face up with a sexy red lipstick.
15. Smoked Out Winged Liner

Instagram / tania

For a heavier evening look, we recommend this smoked-out eye makeup look with a pop of gold glitter. When the light catches your eyes, this gold glitter will look incredible.
16. Purple Eye Makeup Look

Instagram / laurabadura

The purple colour with the peach/copper eyeshadow looks incredibly stunning. Make sure you add the purple underneath your eyes too for the intense style. If you want to stand out even more, try to find a matching purple lipstick. We know it’s hard to believe when you’re used to nude, red, pink and clear lipsticks, but trust me, purple looks great. It’s been trending for a few seasons now and it looks exquisite.
17. Dark Green & Pink Smokey Eye

Instagram / makeupbyevva

This is an ideal for evening makeup. If you’re wearing a bright outfit or having a bright coloured lipstick, you need to go softer on your eyes. This is ideal for you. The dark green highlights green eyes even more so and you’ll look fabulous.
18. Perfect Evening Makeup Look

Instagram / makenziewilder

We all want to feel amazing when we go out, right? We want our makeup to stay put and know that it will look fabulous all night long. Go heavy with the lashes and on the outer edge of your eyelids. Add a winged tip and add a shimmering gold or pink eyeshadow to your eyelids. Apply a line of black eyeliner inside and below your waterline, and then smudge a little to create that dramatic look.

Products used: ABH eyeshadows in “Noir”, “Fawn”, “Dusty Rose”, “Sangria”, and ” Pink Champagne”.
19. Easy Smokey Eye Tutorial

20. Elegant Makeup Look

Instagram / loveyadearly

This is a simple but elegant evening look. Use a gold eyeshadow and add a few touches of glitter. Keep all the sparkle on the eyelid. Blend a dark purple with a nude colour to achieve this gorgeous effect. Once you have applied your eyeshadow, either use the same for under your eye or use a dark brown tone, then simply smear it along to create the look.
21. Neutral Eye Makeup Look

Instagram / makeupbyliha

If you’re feeling a bare neutral vibe, go heavy with the eyelashes and have a champagne shade on your eyelids. It’s almost bordering on silver. This is a classic and simple look, which will look amazing with any outfit.
22. Coppery Red Eye Makeup Look

Instagram / miaumauve

Mixing copper and red will give you a lovely deep shimmer shade. This will infuse your lovely green eyes. Apply you eyeliner to your tear duct area and go soft for underneath your eyes.
23. Brown Winged Liner

Instagram / makenziewilder

Using brown eyeliner rather than black gives you a softer and warmer appearance. If you end up loving the brown eyeliner, then try brown mascara. They look amazing together. As brown is an earth tone, it will make your green eyes look crazy-beautiful.

Products used: Sigma Beauty Line Ace Liquid Eyeliner in Monogram.
24. Black Smokey Eye + Mauve Lips

Instagram / klaudiabadura

Wearing heavy, black smokey makeup that set off your green eyes will only need a nude colour lipstick. Mauve shades look stunning and will complement your smokey eyes.

25. Gold Glitter Look

27. Champagne & Orange Makeup Look

Instagram / makeupbyevva

Champagne isn’t just a drink honey, it’s a striking eyeshadow colour too. You can see from these pictures, how good champagne and orange tones look together. The finished colour looks similar to a light copper colour, which we already know complements your eyes. Next time you’re makeup shopping, you can go straight up to the counter and say “Have you got any champagne and orange eyeshadows please!” This will make you sound like a pro!
28. Dark Green Smokey Eye

Instagram / makenziewilder

To create the smokey eyes, make sure you keep blending. Many people tend to blend for a second and then wonder why they haven’t got the smokey eyed look. This is a perfect example on how dark green smokey eyes should look. You can always add white eyeliner to your waterline to broaden the look of smaller eyes.

Products used: ABH “Bone” and “Moss” & Morphe Brushes “350 Palette”.
29. Dark Gold & Brown Smokey Eye

Instagram / haleymyers_

When it comes to gold, any shade will suffice. All gold tones look amazing and when it’s blended with a brown smokey effect, it looks breathtaking. Don’t be afraid to go for light, medium or dark copper, the more you have in your makeup bag, the better. You can have a different copper style every weekend.
30. Bright Look for Spring

Instagram / makenziewilder

Spring is here and soon it’ll be summer so make the most of it by having a gorgeous bright look this season. This gorgeous purple shade will instantly brighten up you face. Team it with a few flowers in your hair to make your eyes come alive. Bright colours are meant to be fun and experimented with in the spring and summer months.

The post Pretty Eye Makeup Looks for Green Eyes appeared first on 12thBLOG.

If you want a look that screams ‘under the sea’, this is pretty much it. Combining all the brilliant colors of the ocean, you’ve got everything you could possibly want in this look.

Instagram / hairbykaseyoh

The blues of the ocean with the bright greens and turquoise hand-painted blends work really well with the pastel pinks and almost mint-greens you can see too. A very brave blend of colors but one that works perfectly!
2. Pastel Blue and Purple Hair

We love this look too, an almost Frozen-inspired look with bright pops of lilac, bright purple, ice blue and a mint-green/baby blue mix.

Instagram / glamiris

Pastel colored hair has been all the rage recently and this blue and purple mix inspires us to try so many different combinations of color. Starting with this one of course…

3. Gorgeous Rainbow Hair

For those days when you just can’t make up your mind, what about this gorgeous rainbow hair? If it’s colorful hair looks you’re on the hunt for, you won’t get much more colorful than this one.

Instagram / hairgod_zito

Dark purple to bright pink to electric greeny-blue, pastel yellow, toxic green, bright yellow, apple green, teal green and more. It’s a beautiful blend of colors that is definitely not for the faint hearted!

4. Teal Green Hair

We are 100% in love with this teal green hair look, one of this season’s hottest colors. A solid all-in-one color that catches the light in ways we can’t understand, it’s not difficult to understand why everyone’s raving about it.

Instagram / priscillaono

We certainly are!

5. Dark Purple Hair

This dark purple look graduates from a bright purple to a darker tone in a very clever and subtle way, and if you wanted a discreet way to wear some of this season’s boldest shades, this is definitely the way to do it.

Instagram / stevievincenthairartistry

With a purple wash over the brunette, darker roots, the hair has been lightened towards the end to allow for those bright purple pops. All we’re saying is… It’s love!

6. Dark Blue and Light Blue Hair in a Braid

When you’ve got this many colors to show off in your newest look, why wouldn’t you want to show them off?

Instagram / giannadoll13

The braid is a great way to display every single color in your crazy hair palette and as you can see from this light and dark blue look, the different mixes of color intertwine so prettily, it would be hard to keep your eyes off it.

7. Light Pink Hair with Dark Pink Roots

Another ombre look, this time we’re talking bubblegum pink. Who doesn’t love bubblegum pink?

Instagram / xostylistxo

You’ve got a brighter, bolder pink at the roots, heading to a lighter, more pastel and powdery pink towards the end. A clever way to achieve this is to start with your bright pink dye and gradually add conditioner to the mix. The more conditioner you add, the more pastel and powdery your bright pink will become. Smart right?

8. Colorful Tips

Have you heard of hair chalks? Well, the wash-in/wash-out color sticks will help you to get a look like this – lots of different colors on the ends of your hair, without the need for lightning treatments, bleaching, or lengthy salon appointments.

Instagram / thehairexpressionist

Simply dust the chalk over the areas you want painted and when you’re done with the look on Sunday night, ready for work on Monday morning, wash them out with a double-shampoo dose and you’ll be right back to normal with your regular shade.

9. Pink & Orange Hair

We think this colorful hair looks very much like a candy we enjoyed in our youth – the fruit salad. Pink and a coral-peach-orange color blended together, this is definitely a fruity look, and one that will get all the right looks for all the right reasons.

Instagram / larisadoll

A darker pink, almost purple at the roots, the color has been graduated with a hand-painted effect towards the bright ends. We love it. How about you?

10. Fairy Pink and Blue Hair

Blue and pink are not two colors you’d generally put together when you walk into a hair salon and ask your stylist for what you want but as this stunning and crazy-colorful look shows, sometimes color clashes really do work very well.

Instagram / bescene

Another fairy/My Little Pony-inspired look, this is one we’d like to call Aloe Blossom after one of the cutest Spa Ponies. Blue and pink, the colorful blend of colors here is so pretty, we can’t help but want it for ourselves. Right now. Please and thank you.

11. Jewel Tone Teal Hair

This jewel tone here is stunning, don’t you think? It looks a little bit like peacock hair but instead of a bright purple, a beautiful deep and rich blue instead.

Instagram / rebeccavaleriehair

So cleverly intertwined that you can’t tell where one color begins and the other ends, we’re obsessed with this colorful hair look.
12. Galaxy Hair

We called it galaxy hair because it really is out of this world… There are simply not enough words to express the love we have for this crazy, colorful and absolutely beautiful look.

Instagram / vividartistichairdesign

Mixing bright and vivid purples with bright pink, turquoise, silvery-blue and paler and pastel lilacs, we’d be rocking intricate braids ourselves every day if we had the chance to show these colors off.
13. Colorful Split

I want it kinda blue and green. No wait, purples and pinks with peach too. Wait, in actual fact, just do half and half. Why not?

Instagram / xostylistxo

We can’t think of a good reason NOT to get this hair to be honest. It’s so crazy and out-there, it just works. Plus with Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad rocking half-and-half hair (blue and pink pigtails), we reckon it’ll be a trend soon anyway.
14. Teal Blue Hair with Colorful Tips

Kept a simple and stunning blue-green at the roots, this pretty lady has opted for different colors on the tips, something we probably wouldn’t have chosen ourselves but actually works out pretty well.

Instagram / breanna_anythingbutbasic

Heading from the deep and dark blue green to apple green, yellows, baby pinks, peaches, bright purples and even some electric green for good measure, this is a look that’ll get people talking that’s for sure.
15. Colorful Pastel Hair

This is how you do lots of colors subtly – pastel shades all blended together, created an almost opal/mother of pearl hair look that we would love to rock ourselves.

Instagram / bottleblonde76

Such an intricate blend, it all starts with that beautiful silvery-gray base. Add those pastel and beautiful shades over the top and you have yourself a wonderful and colorful hair look every girl will be envious of.
16. Purple to Lime Green Ombre

One thing you’ll definitely need to bear in mind with colorful hair looks like these is the amount of pre-lightening treatments and work that you’ll need to put your hair through before you can even start the coloring process.

Instagram / lo.reeeann

Sadly, colorful hair looks as beautiful as these aren’t a simple case of walking into the salon and walking out looking like your favorite My Little Pony character. A lot of dedication is required for a look this fabulous; dedication and the knowledge that color this bright and bold is very high-maintenance.
17. Fire Orange Tips

If you’ve had red hair and you’re thinking of getting rid of it for a different color, or maybe even head back to your original shade, why not do it this way – the fire orange tips way?

Instagram / thefoxandthehair

Fading the red to orange and adding darker roots with lighter and brighter ends is a great way of gradually fading out the red whilst at the same time experimenting with a different shade. Orange hair is very difficult to wear (we’ve found) and this look provides a much simpler solution.
18. Dancing Rainbow Hair

If you’ve never heard of a hair painting technique known as “fluid hair painting”, there’s a good chance you’ve never had hair this beautiful.

Instagram / xostylistxo

One of the best ways to achieve this multi-dimensional look is to lay the hair flat, spread it out and let your paintbrush do the work. Your hands will place the hair dye where it needs to be and the colors will blend as they should. That’s the aim of the game anyway, clearly not something you’ll get away doing at home by yourself. In fact, saying that, most of the looks you’ll see here are just much too complicated to attempt alone unless you’re working with hair extensions.
19. Blue Ombre Hair

Ombre hair like this is easily achieved with one very simple trick – adding conditioner to your bright color to make it more powdery and a pastel effect the further down you go. Start with the roots and keep things dark and the more you work down your hair length, the more conditioner you add until you get to the ends and you’re left with a beautiful light and icy shade.

It’s sounds easy and it really is once you’ve given it a shot a couple of times.
20. Purple Lob

This looks like one color but it’s not. It’s different shades of light and dark purple subtly blended to give you a multi-dimensional look which also work with the curls and slight layers to add more volume and depth to your look too.

Instagram / ellevangestel

Purple hair is actually one of the best colors to go for if this is your first time with bright and bold colors. When it fades, it’ll fade to a pretty lilac and pastel purple from the brighter start, giving you an easier way to grow it out and let it fade before deciding on your next masterpiece.
21. Sunset Hair

What a stunning blend – purples, yellows, reds and oranges all mixed together to give a look that replicates a tropical sunset. I guess that’s what gives it the name – sunset hair

Instagram / larisadoll

It was a big trend for 2015 and we predict its going to be an even bigger trend for 2016 with more and more hairstylists trying this colorful hair look for themselves. What about you? Would you be brave enough to rock it?
22. Purple and Teal Hair with Light Blue Tips

Another bold and bright hair look here – the blues and greens mixed together in this colorful blend is amazing, we can’t take our eyes off it. Not that we want to.

Instagram / xostylistxo

In order to get color as bright, bold and shiny as this, and to ensure that the colors last for as long as you want them to, you’re going to need to ensure your hair is in excellent condition before you get started. If your hair is brittle, broken, damaged or over-bleached, it’s probably best to wait for a couple of weeks, try some hot oil treatments, take good care of your hair for a while, maybe get a good trim, and then come back to it later on when your hair is better equipped to deal with such an overhaul.
23. Deep Metallic Magenta and Deep Blue Steel Hair

We spoke earlier about Harley Quinn and that Suicide Squad movie and this hair makes us drool! It’s basically Harley Quinn hair and our inner geeks are totally in love with that.

Instagram / jeffreyrobert_

Half blue and half pink, blended together in a fishtail braid. What could possible be cooler? (And so bang on trend too!)
24. Purple, Blue and Pink Lob

It’s like opal hair with a kick up it’s backside, instead of a subtle pop of pastel pinks, blues and purples, much brighter hues are used instead, giving you a shorter and slightly more colorful version of the My Little Pony hair from earlier on.

Instagram / steviescissorhands_

We love this look – it just goes to show that you don’t need length on your side when you want to experiment with color.
25. Teal Blue Short Bob

Sticking with the short theme once again, this teal blue/green short bob is definitely #hairgoals. It makes us want to run to the hair salon and get our extensions taken out and our locks lopped off.

Never have we wanted a greeny-blue hair look more!
26. Bright Purple Hair + Braids

We actually gasped when we saw this bright purple for the first time. Actually gasped – we were in total awe of how breathtakingly beautiful it is. And it really is too. Okay, we’re done swooning now.

Instagram / stephhstyles

There are slight variations to the color in this look but for the most part, it’s a one-tone purple. It’s just super glossy and well-conditioned hair. You couldn’t achieve a hair design this awesome without great condition hair first.

27. Rainbow Sherbet Hair

Do you remember those flying saucer candies you used to get as kids? They were a little bit like polystyrene with some fizzy sherbet inside them? Well, those candies are exactly what this hair reminded us of and that sort of nostalgia is not to be sniffed at!

Instagram / xostylistxo

We one hundred percent love this pastel prettiness, lots of pastel shades of peach, green, yellow, purple, pink and more all brilliantly blended together. Hands up if you want to try this look for yourself too!
28. Electric Mermaid Hair

It looks very mermaid’y, this beautiful blue, green and purple blended hair, blue at the top, purple in the middle and green at the ends, although this braided look helps to show off every aspect of the hair color design brilliantly.

Instagram / vanityzack

Very worthy of the name electric mermaid hair we feel. How about you?
29. Feather Design Hair

A slightly different look, and one that won’t be to everyone’s fancy, this feather design hair is another way of that fluid hair painting technique we told you about earlier on – laying the hair flat and using brushes and fluid washes of color on pre-lightened and bleached hair to create beautiful designs and looks just like this one.

Instagram / xostylistxo

It’s a clever way of working with different colors if you’re willing to think outside the box.
30. Dark Blue and Dark Green Hair

Another ocean/water-themed look, there’s something very mesmerizing about this dark blue and green hair look, a brilliant hand-painted blend of the colors left natural and wavy.

When your color is this good, you don’t need curls, gimmicks or crazy updos to show it off, your hair will just speak for itself.
31. Candy Hair

Another beautiful pastel look, there’s something magical about this clever combo – lots of pastels blended together once again, this time purple at the roots with a combination of mint green and pink towards the ends.

Instagram / karaleette

When you’re growing out a colorful look, why not consider just adding a different color to your roots rather than redoing the entire look? This look could easily be a faded color with a newer color used to revitalize up top.

And there you have them – the coolest and most brilliant colorful hair looks that you’ll totally want to rock for this year! Which one’s your favorite? We couldn’t pick, they’re all so beautiful!

One of spring’s most notorious colors is pink. The bubbly, bright color makes reminds us of the beautiful flowers budding all over the world. A soft pink look is perfect for date nights or on days when you want something simple.

2. Sunset Copper Eye Makeup

Copper, bronze and gold are sure to be a hit this spring despite the common notion that these colors are reserved for late summer or fall. What I especially love about this combination is that they’re buildable. You can opt for a subtle copper look during the day and transition to a nighttime look with some gold or chocolate brown shimmer.

3. Fresh Purple & Teal Makeup

What’s fresher than purple and teal? Nothing. This color combo makes for a fun day-to-night look.

4. Glowing Orange & Tan Makeup

This makeup combination creates a warm yet glowing look, especially when paired with an orange red lipstick. If worn during the day, opt for white liner and, if worn at night, switch it up to black.

5. Adorable Pastel Eye Makeup

Mixing all your favorite pastel colors is one way to be creative. Finish with blue mascara for a unique look and you’re ready for a bright, fun day!

If you’re tired of your usual smokey eye and want to try a more subtle, fresh look, a gorgeous green eyeshadow on your lower lashes is the trick.

The post Seven Spring Makeup Looks To Inspire You appeared first on 12thBLOG.

The Governors Ball is a 3 day music festival founded not so long ago, in 2011. In the few years of it’s existence it really grew to be a big NY summer event. It’s a must go for everyone who enjoys good music, good food and good company. The Governors Ball takes place in Randall’s Island Park, conveniently located between Manhattan, Queens and The Bronx and features an impressive array of music artist. This year the Governors Ball was headlined by Florence and the Machine, Lana Del Rey, Bjork, The Black keys, Drake and many other artists. No matter if you’re into rock, indie, hip-hop, pop, folk or electronic music – you’re bound to find something you like here. Same goes for food – there’s always a plethora of good restaurants and food trucks represented at the festival.
Fashion is also a big part of the festival, specifically street fashion. New Yorkers really know a thing or two about street style and they always bring something interesting into the mix. The festival ended just a few days ago, but Fashionistas all over the world are still talking about who wore what and what outfit was the best at the Governors Ball. So let’s review and see what were the most popular trends and best street looks at the Governors Ball.

There was a lot of denim at this years Governor Ball. Vests, overalls, dresses, anything you can think of – people wore it. There was even denim on denim, a combination we haven’t seen in decades. I guess the nineties are back.

Hats are always a big part of festivals. It’s a great way to stand out and really add smth to your outfit. Hats are a great way to make a fashion statement. They’re also great for protecting your head from sun stroke.

Maxi dresses of all types, textures and colours were featured by multiple fashionistas at the Governors Ball. It’s an easy and stylish option for a festival. You don’t have to worry about thinking what goes with what. Just put on a maxi dress and accessories. As a bonus – the will look good with heels and boots. So that’s up to you.

There was a fair few people with flower crowns. We get it, flower crowns are a festival must-have these days. They really do add a festive little note to any outfit. But since it’s a New York festival, witty New Yorkers were quick to remind those with flower crowns that it’s not Coachella and therefore not the same vibe.

Plaid shirts and checkered dresses were worn in the most unusual combinations and added some grunge to the whole event. Who knew you could wear them over dresses? But hey, if you can pull that off, why not?

Floral patterns were everywhere too. Dresses, shirts, rompers, jumpsuits. And why not? Floral is a great option for summer, it just brightens everything and makes everything looks summery.

Colorful hippie looking outfits were like a breath of fresh air. But not just any hippie outfits, NY hippies are different. They have an edge to them and they know how to work it. It was refreshing to see something that actually looked like it belonged at a music festival and wasn’t an evening outfit that’s dressed down with some combat boots.

When it comes to accessories – round glasses got a universal YES! from everyone. No surprise here, sunny summer days call for some shades and this year everyone went for round ones. Is it a homage to John Lennon? Or perhaps Ozzy Osbourne? We’ll never know. But they clearly won over the public. There were hardly any classic ray bans.

Since it’s a music festival we couldn’t ignore the crazy costumes either. There’s always some at any festival and the Governors Ball wasn’t an exception to the rule. I kind of wonder if this wolf ever ran into these sheep. That would be a real life fairy tale.

Last but not least – bags. Most people went with the usual over the shoulder bags or trendy backpacks, but this particular gem caught my attention. Doesn’t this just scream “Music Festival Bag” ?

The post Best Street Style Looks at the Governors Ball 2015 appeared first on 12thBLOG.

This year Coachella Festival went hard for floral prints, gypsy accessories, boho style, vintage denim, high-waisted shorts, crop tops, beachy hairstyles, ombre colors, juicy robust lips and chick headbands. All of these trends will dominate the festival fields and beach-party events all summer long. It would seem the music was the center of attention but who cares when damn classy people and celebs unleash their inner hippie in a slew of the show-stopping looks at the beautiful Palm Spring, FL seaside. The ‘Herbeauty’ team has already browsed the best outfit ideas. By the way we are planning to shop like the masters of dressing art this summer. Will you join us?
It’s time for you to get a dose of the street-style inspiration with these swanky party looks right now!

Let’s start with festival trends:

1. Boho accessories are a must have. A lot of bracelets on both wrists, drop earrings and head fawns. Colors should be mixed in the most unimaginable ways. Hippie head bunches are in trend again. The floral prints and the galloons with numbers are the main features of each summer top and bomber.

2. The Boho coined belt, the chunky-knit lace, huge glasses, fringe outfits and accessories are actually topping the must-have list.

3. Bare your belly and decorate it with a floral splash, ripped A-shirts and laid-back skirts.

4. The white lace, rough lacing, round or heart-shaped glasses, cute wide-brimmed hats and floppy hair clumps are with us.

5. Hairstyle essentials: headbands of any style, flower crowns, bobby pins and hair ties, braids or beach waves hair.

6. Everything can go gypsy this season. Don’t be afraid to decorate each finger with massive metallic or wooden rings and add a couple of necklaces of different length.

7. The high-waistline shorts are the number one and the most essential item of the upcoming summer season.

8. The perfect time to play with different forms and styles has already started. Be brave and be different!

Top celebrity looks:

1. Hailey Baldwin, Kendall Jenner and Selena Gomez were probably the sweetest hippies of the Palm Spring beach scene. They say variety is the spice of life; aren’t they just that?

2. Katy Perry looked pretty ridiculous in a gold bra and flip-flops at Jeremy Scott and Moschino’s Coolest Party in the Desert.

3. Fergie looked effortlessly chic in frayed denim shorts, fringe hippie vest and transparent black crop top. Amber chose the tight pants to decorate her yummy curves with flowers.

4. Kylie Jenner wore a pirate outfit and basically won the festival style award.

5. Rihanna grabbed the attention with her purple faux coat. Every single time she proves she’s incredible in her style statements and can we say most inventive. The final outcome is always stunning and a show stopper.

6. Paris and Nicky Hilton celebrated ‘sibling day’ donning white lace outfits. Paris embraces her inner hippy chick with cat ears.

7. The 17-year-old Bella Thorne looked free spirited in her summertime fine look. What a cutie!

Moments worth your attention:

1. Justin Bieber also attended Coachella, and it seems that this guy just can’t keep himself out of troubles. He was kicked out of Coachella during Drake performance by a security guard. The eye-witnesses say he was trying to enter a space where the rapper was performing but he wasn’t allowed to do it.

2. The 16-year-old celebuspawn Brooklyn Beckham was spotted partying next to the stylish and beautiful stranger. His fake neck tatt made his festival look and then caused so much fuss all over the world. Take a notice of this trick and try wearing the temporary ink to know what it feels like.

3. Meet the sweet couples Ian Somerhalder with his GF Nikki Reed and Sarah Hyland with her BF Dominic Sherwood who went lamber and casual. Seems legit guys. We press ‘like’

4. We are sure you adore Coachella and we’re sure you adore H&M. Rejoice! Because they joined up for this festival season. H&M released their new collection of clothes and accessories for women and men in partnership with the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. The best part of it – not a single piece is over $50.

5. Surprise! Meet the one and only – Beyoncé! This was our favourite festival appearance, not just because Beyoncé looks stylish and fabulous as always but also because she has an incredibly warm and sunny personality, she just can’t stop smiling, laughing and sharing her endless positivity with us.

Holiday Joy
We’re big fans of nail polish collections in general, and winter is THE season for collections. China Glaze’s Holiday Joy collection is filled with cheery reds, festive green and gold, wintery blue and silver, and fun glitters perfect for New Year’s.

Hanukkah Floam
Hanukkah Floam from Ninja Polish’s Winter 2012 collection has a clear base with a ton of glitter in varying shades of bright blue. Small holographic pieces will catch the candlelight and add an insane amount of sparkle.

French Winter
This look takes three of this year’s trends – French tips, ombre, and metallics – and combines them for a stunning wintertime manicure. Start with a clear base coat, then add a thin gold French tip. Once it’s dry, add another small line of gold on top and while it’s still wet, sponge or drag a silver and gold glitter from the tip of your nail to the middle.

French Christmas
We’ve seen a lot of red and green nail looks, but this is this first Christmas matte French manicure we’ve come across. We love it because it’s fun yet sophisticated; the matte finish tones down shimmery polishes that might be too flashy for your tastes, and the subtle gloss French tip so chic!

French Hanukkah
Colored French tips on bare nails have been a big hit this year. A swipe of a bright glittery blue makes for a quick, easy, and fun Hanukkah look. You can add a tiny star of David by dipping a toothpick in silver polish or by using a silver nail pen.

Wintery Mix
Here’s a super cute style if you celebrate both Christmas and Hanukkah. Santa hats in Hanukkah blue and silver give you a fun way to style your nails for both of your December holidays.

Sweater Weather
Thick knit sweaters are wonderful in the middle of winter (or fall, winter, and some of spring if you live in Canada). Why not deck your nails with classic sweater print images? If you’re really coordinated, you can try free-handing this look using white polish and a toothpick or small paintbrush. For the rest of us who are all thumbs, we’ll stick with stencils.

Midnight Snow Stamp
Speaking of stencils, you can create really elaborate looks like this one by using stencil and stamp tools. A white stamp on a dark background works really well. You can add garlands of glitter if you like, but it looks just as fabulous without.

Christmas Lights
Okay, we know this look isn’t for everyone, but it’s just so fabulous we had to include it. You already know we love French tips and glittery polish, but the tiny lights? That’s just too amazing.

Green & Gold
We love that dark green is one of the hottest colors of the season. This deep evergreen is “Going Incognito” by Essie, and that stunning large gold glitter polish is “Gold” by Milani. You’ll have to use quite a few coats of the glitter, but just look how beautiful it turns out!

Red & Multi-glitter
In contrast to the colored-nails-with-glitter-accent-nail look, we have the glitter-nails-with-colored-accent-nail look. (We’re still working on a shorter name.) This very well might be our absolute favorite look for the holidays, and with all the gorgeous red and multi-glitter polishes that just came out, we’ll have plenty of choices to play with.

Those Summer Nights
It’s hard to go to sleep early when the sun is still shining by 8pm. But those long summer nights can take a toll on your face, especially your eyes. You might have given up on under-eye concealer. We suggest giving it another try using this technique.

Look Over Here!
Ultra-bold eye makeup will draw attention away from any signs of fatigue. It’s also a great excuse to buy some high pigment shades.

The Highlight Map
Apply light concealer on the parts you want to highlight, and a creamy bronzer to the parts you want extra shadowing. And of course, blend like you’ve never blended before.

Sun-Kissed Rims
Dramatic eyes are given a summery twist with golden eyeliner applied to the inner rims. Make sure to keep the rest of your face neutral and clean.

Smokey Golden Eye
A smokey eye done in gold and copper can make dark tired eyes look like they were part of the plan all along. Use the dark copper on top and the lighter gold on the bottom.

Winged Liner + Red Lipstick
It’s a match made in makeup heaven. This look never goes out of style and it looks fantastic on practically everyone. It’s a great distraction!

Bright Face Colors
A clean face with a dusting of pinks and golds looks refreshed and bright. Enhance it with a girly hair accessory.

The Triangle Under-Eye
You want to apply your concealer in a triangular shape. Since the tip of the triangle is brighter than the rest of your face, it automatically makes your cheeks look lifted.

Matte Skin
You don’t need to suffer from acne to use acne face wash. The salicylic acid in over the counter acne cleansers helps skin stay matte, which is especially important during the summer.
