That scary time of year when you love to experiment with your makeup, we are talking about Halloween.  When thinking about Halloween, we tend to think about costumes rather than our faces.  If you want to be original and show off your makeup skills, then think about doing your own makeup for Halloween.  This way, nobody will look like you and it will save you money.  If you have an amazing scary face, then you can dress in whatever you fancy.  It’s all about having the Halloween face, your outfit you can think of later.

We have come up with 21 scary Halloween makeup ideas for you to try before the scary night in October.

This is scary and frightening. OK, so you may need a few hours to apply this but it will be worth it.  The more makeup or face paint you use, the better.

Summer is all about having fun and going to lots of parties.  Nobody wants to look the same for every party they attend; therefore, you will want to try out different makeup looks.  Summer is about experimenting with your makeup and feeling great in the sun.  Everyone knows that if our makeup looks great, we feel great too. Wearing makeup can often boost our confidence and puts us in a good mood. When we know we look good, we stand tall and proud.

When deciding what makeup to wear for a party, we tend to look for inspiration on social media to see what’s currently trending.  Not everyone can afford a makeup artist, so why not teach yourself how to apply makeup the professional way.  This will save you money and time.

We have come up with 25 easy makeup ideas for summer parties that you could do at home. Have fun!

1. Dark Gold Eyes + Bright Orange Lips

Have dark golden eyes and bright colour lipstick. If you choose to opt for dark eyeshadow, for instance, dark gold then team with a bright orange colour lipstick.  Orange is a warm colour and will instantly make your skin have the summer glow before you step foot out the door!

2. Purple and Orange Eyes

Go for the wow effect. If you want to make a statement and stand out, purple and orange combined are the perfect solution.  The purple shades add colour and the orange will compliment your skin tone.  This works for any skin and eye colour.

3. Gold Glitter Eyeliner

All that glitters, definitely shines. Apply a thin line of gold glitter just above your eyeliner to show a little sparkle.  This will give off a brilliant shine and will compliment your makeup.

4. Brown and Green Smokey Eyes

Are you feeling the earthy tones? Brown and green eyeshadows, look great with any colour eyes but will enhance green eyes.  Both of these colours are earthy tones and will make you stand out from the crowd.  You could always alternative the two colours for another party, so that the green eyeshadow is on the eyelids and the brown is underneath the waterline.  Whatever you decide, it will look great!

5. Bronzey Copper Eyes

Bronze and copper are quite similar in colour so work well together. The copper shade will brighten up the darker bronze shade which creates a natural shine.

6. Perfect Summer Look

Are you looking for the perfect summer look? Look no further, you have found it.  This is a simple nude, pink tone that  will set the summer vibe.

7. Gold Glitter Eyes + Matte Orange Lips

8. Blue Eyeliner

Electric blue eyeliner creates the summer style. This almost has a retro look about it.  If you’re feeling funky and sexy, try this.  It will look spectacular and will get you attention all day and night.

9. Purple Smokey Eye

Fun, bright and sexy. Purple is a fun colour and when applied on the eyelids and lower lash line, it looks great.  Light purple, like the photo above is a colour for summer.  Light purple tends to be trending in summertime whilst dark purple trends for the colder seasons.

10. Simple & Easy

This is a simple and easy look. Bright eyeshadows are a must have this summer.  They open up your eyes and look fun and summery.  Apply a golden shade to your eyelids and the lower lash line.  You can then add a touch of a lighter golden shade or white to the corner of your eye.  If you are used to having dark colours, try this.

Ballerina nails have become increasing popular over the past few seasons.  Nail fashion is constantly changing but we think this trend is staying around for the near future.  To create ballerina nails, you need to narrow the sides and your nail tips need to be flat.  Ballerina nails work better with longer nails as the tips need length to flatten.  In addition, when you taper the sides of your nails, you are taking away the nails support.  All colours look amazing with this nail shape and when we paint our nails, this shows off our character and flare.

Have a look through our 65 fun ballerina nails and see what colours and jazzy designs tickles your fancy.  Have fun!

1. Gold and Nude Matte Nails

Who needs glossy nails these days? Glossy nails are so last season girl, go for a matte finish to finish the look.  Many nail polish brands now offer a matte finish top coat which turns any nail polish into a matte finish.  It works the same way the shiny top coat does but just makes your nails matte, rather than a shiny look.  Gold is a colour that mixes well with a nude shade.  Add the shiny and glam to the gold nails and keep the nude nails in a matte finish.  This will enhance the ballerina shaped nails.

2. Matte Burgundy and Nude Nails

If you prefer a shiny finish to your nude shade, this would work for you. Adding a matte finish to the burgundy nails will make both nail colours stand out.  The nude nails will be immaculate with the shiny top coat whilst the burgundy nails will look amazing in the matte finish.  You can always add a few nail gems like the photo above to add the shine.

3. Gold Sequin and Dark Nude Nails

Dark nude is a great colour for nails because it is classy and elegant.  If you are wanting a subtle colour with a bit of wow, you can always team dark nude and gold.  When I say gold, I don’t mean just any gold, I mean gold sequins!

4. Pink Matte Nails with Rhinestones

Having a neon pink shade will highlight your nail shape. This is a gorgeous, fun and girly colour to have.  It is vibrant and sexy, especially when you add the rhinestones!  You don’t have to have a set design for your rhinestones, just go with what you like and feel at the time.

5. Mint and Neutral Nail Design

Mint is a summer colour so grab your mint shades and get painting your nails before summer is over. Having a mint shade is all you need for your nails to stand out.  It’s a fun colour and we love how energizing these nails are!

6. Bright Matte Design for Summer

Painting your nails needs to be fun. Summer is fun too, so choose a vibrant summer colour for your nails.  Having a bright colour with the matte finish, looks stunning.  Add a few nail gems and designs to stand out even more so.

7. Marble Design

Are you looking for something different and unique?

Try having fun marble design nails.  This may look hard to achieve but we have given a few simple steps for you to follow.

How to marble nail design:

What you will need: cup of water, light colour base nail polish, other colours that you choose to have, nail tape, a cocktail/nail stick and nail polish remover.

Choosing your nail polish colours:  You can opt for the same colours as the photo above, or you can choose your own colours.  We think these colours create the most spectacular marble effect.

Choose your base colour and apply:  When choosing your base colour, bear in mind that it needs to be a lighter colour than your other colours you have chosen, so that the marble look will take effect.  Apply the base coat and wait for it to dry completely.   

Use nail tape:  This is for the skin around your nails so that you don’t get all the nail polish everywhere.

Get your cup of water and add drips of nail polish:  Add a few drops of your chosen nail polishes, all colours you have chosen and keep adding a few drips.

Use your cocktail/nail stick to swirl: Use your stick to gently swirl the water around to create the design.

Dip your fingers into the water:  Start with one finger and drip it in the cup of water so that your nail will hit the water surface only.  You will then see the design forming on your nail.  Continue with all the other fingernails.

Once you have done all fingernails and left them to dry:  Your fingernails must be completely dry before you remove the nail taping off your skin.

Apply a topcoat:  Now you have your beautiful marble design, apply your top coat, either a matte or a shiny finish, whichever you prefer.

10. Matte Ombre Design

If you haven’t tried ombre nails, you have to! They are so much fun and create a magical finish.  Firstly, you need to choose two different nail polish colours.  We suggest you choose colours that are quite different from one another to see the contrast.

You will need:  A sponge with one flat side, cocktail/nail sticks or toothpicks, foil or baking paper.

1. Use the light colour that you have chosen and apply to your nails.
2. Wait for it to dry completely.
3. On a flat surface, pour both colours right next to each other, edges touching.
4. Using a cockstail/nail stick or a toothpick, swirl the colours together when they both joined.
5. Grab your sponge and dab it down on the nail colours.
6. Then dab the sponge straight onto your nail.
7. Then apply to all nails like so.

Are you thinking of changing your hair in time for summer?  There are so many styles that you can choose from, no wonder everyone needs a little hair inspiration.  Many people tend to wait until they see a hairstyle they like before they book their hair appointment.  We think the hairstyle of the year, (or should I say years) is a gorgeous hairstyle to choose.  It goes by the name lob.  Which is in other words, is a long bob.  You can style the lob however you like.  Wavy, curls, straight, up-do, half up half down style, sleek or messy.  Just because you have a long bob, doesn’t stop all the styling options you can have.  You still have the security of tying your hair back.

We have come up with 21 cure lob haircuts for you to think about.

1. Angled Long Bob with Layers

Angled lob is quirky, cute and fun. Adding layers to your lob will make your hair feel thicker and it will have more volume.  The angled style is popular amongst many celebrities and is a favourite all over the world.

2. Brunette Lob + Face-Framing Balayage Highlights

You don’t have to be a blonde, a red head or pinked haired to have a lob haircut. If you have brunette hair, the lob looks as good as having different colour hair.  Mixing balayage with the lob looks stunning.  Having face-framing highlights will emphasis your face.

3. Messy, Textured Blonde Long Bob

We are loving the messy hair trend! Messy hair is still trending so the straight out of bed look is a must, especially when we can get away with it!  Every girl loves messy hair, right?  Having messy hair means you don’t have to worry about it every minute of the day, just let it go.

4. Straight, Angled Long Bob Haircut

This screams elegant and style. A straight, angled long bob will show off your edginess and style.  You have the comfort of the longer strands at the front with a slightly shorter back.

5. Lob Haircut for Thick Hair + Honey Blonde Balayage Highlights

If you want a sexy, natural looking hairstyle, this may be the one for you. Having a lob hairstyle is fun and you can style it in so many ways.  Thicker hair looks great in a long bob style and adding the honey blonde balayage highlights is the icing on the cake.  The balayage highlights look natural and add that extra touch of style.

6. Brunette, Straight Lob

A straight sleek lob looks elegant and sophisticated. This style is perfect for any occasion. It can be glamorous and also a great as a causal style.

7. Blonde Ombre Lob Hairstyle

Did someone say ombre?  Don’t rule out the ombre style. Ombre is still going strong guys!  The lob and blonde ombre look perfect together.  With all the new trends going on, people seems to forget about ombre but we are here to remind you.

9. Lob Cut with Bangs

Do you fancy having bangs with your lob? We would recommend it!  Opting for a classic lob and having bangs, looks timeless and stylish.  If it is the first time you are having bangs and are nervous, try having longer bangs just in case you still want to tie your hair back.  You can have the best of both worlds with this hairstyle.  Bangs will show off your eyes and you can always style it in so many different ways.  If you fancy having your bangs off your face, try clipping it back with bobby pins.  If you style your hair differently every other day or so, you won’t get bored of your hairstyle.

10. Curly, Textured Lob with Balayage Highlights

Adding curls will boost your locks. If your hair is feeling limp and lifeless, try curling it.  Curly, textured lob looks stunning and so girly.  Balayage highlights will add that special touch that no other highlight technique will be able to do.

Braids have been around for many years and every year, or should I say every summer, we start to experiment more with our hair.  You start to see more braids in summer than any other time of the year.  Braids are easy and low maintenance.  If you look after your braids, they can last for 2 months, even longer for many people but we would recommend 2 months.

Braided hair can show off your style and character.  They are unique to your hair and look stunning for summer.  It is very adaptable with all braids, from fishtails to cornrows, you can mix them together if you wish.

With all this in mind, summer is here so we thought we would show you 21 trendy braided hairstyles to try.  Bear in mind that a few may be a little tricky and you might need a friend to help but with practice, you will be braiding your hair every day!  Even if you don’t think you can achieve these styles, how will you know until you try?

14. Long, Caramel Boxer Braids

Boxer braids are trending but so are cornrows. Many think that Kim K made this style famous but I am afraid not.  We all know she’s a fan of this hairstyle and she has had an impact on many people choosing this style but sorry to say, they have been around for many years before.  People are confused as to what boxer braids are. The only difference between boxer braids, cornrows and Dutch braids is the name only.  Boxer braids are trending on social media such as Twitter and Instagram but don’t worry, you are still trending if you have cornrows or Dutch braids.  You can call yours boxer braids or whatever you like!

15. Braided Style with Extensions

If you have ever wanted to experiment with hair extensions, now is the time. Summer is all about showing your style and being creative.  Braiding your hair and adding hair extensions while braiding, is a great idea.  It will add length to your gorgeous braids and can add colour.  This photo above shows how amazing hair extensions can look.  You can always take them out when you take your braids out, so you might as well try it.  Have fun.

16. Cute, Braided Updo on Natural Hair

If you have sexy, natural hair and want to embrace it, take a look at this style. It is almost like a crown braid but set further back and with two braids.  It is a cute and trendy style that everyone will love, especially you!  It is the perfect style for work, studying, shopping, partying, walking on the beach or relaxing at home.  We also love how it has the centre-parting showing, whereas a crown braid would cover this.  We know you will love this style but it may take some practice to master.  Keep practicing and you will become a pro!

17. Cornrows with Braid Cuffs

Added hair accessories to your braids, can show off your style even more so. Braid cuffs look striking and show off your creativity.  They look so good and you will be a trendsetter with all of your friends.  Look out for who wears their cuffs next!

18. Two Dutch Braids + Tiny Cornrows

We are loving this style. It is unique, fun and has a variety of braids.  Two Dutch braids are the main attraction but if you look a little closer, you can see the tiny cornrows that are added on the sides.  It is something different for the girls that are used to having two braids and need a little boost of inspiration.
