Cool tones

Hello everyone,

This shot was a bit hard to take because the weather was very crappy. The sun didn't want to come out and the light was awful. Still I managed to get quite nice pictures in the end. Though it wasn't planned at all.

French Braid

You might think that doing a French Braid on your own is difficult but no. You only need to know a few steps and you'll be good to go !

Practise makes perfect, try it until you make it perfectly.

I have to admit that at first I couldn't do it. First, it is super difficult to do it by yourself, right ?! My arms hurt. If I remember well, I think I tried a couple of braids for at least 2 hours in a row. ( it's better to do braids when your hair is quite dirty, otherwise the hair is too neat and clean and it falls off ).

Now, I have to admit I'm pretty good at it. I can do many different braids on myself or on people. I am actually proud. It's super nice to do it on people. Before, it was my friends who used to braid my hair during lunch time. I loved it. I love when people touch my hair and do me haircut. 

I remember when I was a little girl and I was bound to ask my sister to do my braids. It was nice for sure, but sometimes in the morning she was just too busy and didn't have enough time to do anything but to eat her breakfast. To be honest, I only learnt how to do braid by myself in early last year, in february I think. I had free time and I've always kind  of dreamt to know how to do it soooo, I just gave it a try. I know for those who never tried, you are going to be discouraged but don't be. Try a few times and you're going to start to see a big difference ! I promise.

Ohh and, did you too, (I mean I did it many times) did a braid for you class photo?

Here's the instructions:

• Grab a good size section of hair on the top of your head
• Dived Hair in 3 Sections
• Take the Left Section and Place it Over the Center Section
• Take the Right Section and Place it Over the Center Section
• Add a Small Amount of Hair to the Left Section and Place it Over the Center Section
• Add a Small Amount of Hair to the Right Section and Place it Over the Center Section
• And redo the number 5 & 6  "Add a Small Amount of Hair to the Left Section and Place it Over the Center Section - Add a Small Amount of Hair to the Right Section and Place it Over the Center Section" over and over again until you're done
• When you cannot take any hair on the sides, braid as a classic braid.

Here's a drawing of the steps. Down below there's a video to show it to you lads in real. If it's your first time and you think you did a great job, send me a photo !!

I think right after the 7th photograph, a drawing's missing. You also have to grab a piece of hair from the right side and add it to the piece of hair you're holding in your right hand. Then put the strand in the middle and start over the 5 image and so on.

Eyeliner Trick

I am going to show you a little eyeliner trick for those of you who are not really good at applying it. Before using the real liquid eyeliner, I start by drawing the line I want to create with a black pencil. It is so much easier to erase it when you did wrong. Then when I'm done, I fill in the blanks with my real eyeliner and I am all done.

I know some people use some scotch tape but I don't. After all it's up to you and what you prefer. Some people prefer liquid eyeliner, some prefer pen eyeliner. Just choose the one you're the most comfortable with and the one that gives you the best effect.

I showed you this look, but it's not the one I'm used to. I'd rather prefer a more subtle look. The flick over here is a bit too dramatic for a day look, it's better for night time.

You are free to choose the one you prefer. To be honest, I am not a huge fan of makeup. What I mean is that I love makeup all the products, but I am not going to be able to wear tons on my face. I am more for a natural look especially during Summer time. When the freckles are out and your cheeks are red.

Anyway, once one of my friend told me it was ALL about the flick. From now on I believe her.

Hair Jewellery

Sometimes you don't feel like doing anything to your hair. You are just so bored that you don't even want to touch it. I have those days too. Sometimes I'm even wondering why I have got long hair. It takes you so long to wash it, brush it, taking care of it + the hairdresser and so on. It would be so much easier with short hair. I admit I love my hair though. I am a girl after all, and it feels good to have nice fresh smelly hair. The nice point about having long hair is that you can change a whole outfit by changing something to your hair. You can tie it whether into a sweet bun or a lovely braid + adding some head jellewery OR you can let your hair naturally and add a jewel. It is up to you.

These are some that I have. I admit that I love wearing them when I don't feel like going into any specific haircut.

• I have two cute little bow tie. I think they are lovely. The fake leather one is perfect for a "rock" look and the pinkish one for a more summery/ sweet lady look. I usually wear it when I take two pieces of hair from the side and attached them at the back of my head.
• After, there's the flower headband. It's super nice when you don't feel like letting you hair go down. When your hair is into a ponytail or a braid, add it and it will give a more finished look.
• And the metal headband fits every haircut. When your hair is down or up. I think this one is perfect with a bit of red lipstick. It gives you a very nice look.

Tell me what you think ...!

Eyeliner look

This makeup tutorial is coming soon. It is getting pretty late now. Tomorrow, I have to go somewhere, so I am not going to be able to do it straight up as I wake up. I am going to try to do it for tomorrow evening. I hope. It is a very classy eyeliner look. I love eyeliner, it makes your eyes look like cat eyes. It doesn't look like you are overwearing makeup. It just brings what needs to be brought. Perfect. Here is a preview of what is about to come. I hope you like this makeup. I am sorry about the picture though, it is all I had !

Goodnight everybody.

Here's a close-up of my makeup.
