10 Steps for Hair:
-
On clean, dry hair, spray Pure Abundance Style Prep throughout.
-
Divide hair into (2) sections - forehead to nape with a center part.
-
Starting on your left side, brush hair smoothly up to the top of your head with tension. Use an elastic band to hold ponytail in place.
-
Repeat the last step on your right side.
-
Curl both ponytails from ends to the elastic band.
-
Loosely divide each pony tail into (2) sections - one facing forward and one facing back.
-
Starting on your left side, roll the front section of your ponytail down into a large barrel curl - pin in place. Repeat on the back section of left ponytail.
-
Repeat last step on the right side ponytail.
-
With your fingers, loosely pull each pinned barrel curl apart to create a larger shape.
-
Spray style with Air Control.
10 Steps for Makeup:
-
Apply medium to full coverage foundation.
-
Sweep metallic or glittery eyeshadow similar in color to your natural skin tone across your cheeks, eyelids, bridge of your nose, chin and forehead.
-
Let a nickel-sized amount of false lash glue* dry for 3 - 5 minutes on a sanitized palette or plate. Dip a variety of colorful craft store crystals, gems, jewels or sequins in the lash glue and tap gently to your forehead in a design of your choosing. We suggest concentrating your jewels at each temple, scattering a few out towards the center of your forehead to create a celestial galaxy effect. (*patch test for glue allergies if unsure at least 48 hours in advance!)
-
Blend a bright pink or peach blush shade over your temples and brow bone - fade upwards towards your forehead.
-
Shape and fill your eyebrows with a bold, unusual color (we suggest green or purple).
-
Use a similar or complimentary unusual color to also shape and fill your lips.
-
Layer thick mascara on both top and bottom lashes.
-
Add false lashes or glitter for a more dramatic effect.
-
Set your makeup with translucent powder.
-
Apply a high shine lip gloss to the center of your lips and blot lightly.
*BONUS COSTUME IDEA!*
Using solid black, white or silver foundation garment (ie. silver bathing suit, little black dress, plain white fitted t-shirt and leggings), wrap a large plastic drop cloth around yourself like a cape or strapless dress. Have a friend place brightly colored or silver duct tape across the plastic to resemble a retro-futuristic space suit.
Optional: Glue your extra craft store crystals to the shoulders or waist band for a dramatic effect!
