  3. Contour each side of your forehead, the cheekbone area and the sides and center of your chin.
  4. Begin blending in the colors with a foundation that matches your skin tone.

The Braided Headband _ Kouturekiss

  1. Begin with your hair already styled the way you want it when the braid is in (i.e. straight, wavy, curled, etc). I chose to straighten mine.
  2. Section off your hair beginning parallel to the arch of your eyebrow, and the hair that falls in front of year as well (this will help you to hide the start of the braid later on).
  3. Section off a 2×2 inch section of hair and begin loosely braiding.
  4. Tie off the end of your braid with an elastic.
  5. Wrap the braid over the top of your head and place it wherever works best for your hair cut and style.
  6. Place the end of the braid underneath a section of hair to hide it, and secure with a bobby pin.
  7. To add more volume and drama, tease the hair behind the braid and smooth it over to avoid any stray hairs.
  8. Apply a finishing creme or spray and…
  9. Voila!
