Kouturekiss _ So Sweet Half Up Half Down

Step 1: Begin with your hair in either it’s natural texture, or curled. I decided to curl my hair to make the look a little more romantic.
Step 2: Part your hair how you want it and section off a 1-2 inch section starting at the beginning of the part down to the ear.
Steps 3 & 4: Pin the section behind your ear using a bobby pin.
Step 5: Section off the top 1/3 of your hair, being careful not to ruin the section you just pinned.
Step 6: Using a boar bristle brush, tease this section of hair.
Step 7: Smooth the top of the hair and pull it back.
Step 8: Tie the section off with an elastic.
Step 9: Take a 1 inch section out of bottom of the ponytail.
Step 10: Wrap it around the ponytail until it reaches the end and hold in place with a bobby pin. Spray on a small amount of hairspray and… voila!

Kouturekiss _ Eye Poppers

  1. Apply a matte white shadow over your entire lid.
  2. Apply a white eyeliner or white cream shadow to just the top of the upper lash line.
  3. Also apply this eyeliner/cream shadow to the inner corner and the inner two thirds of the bottom lash line.
  4. Apply a soft golden shadow to the crease. This color works great with the white to help make it pop and also is a universal shade for all skin tones.
  5. Apply a shimmery white shadow over where you placed the white liner before to help make it pop even more.
  6. Also apply the same shimmery white shadow to the brow bone.
  7. Apply your favorite mascara to the top lashes only and voila!
