Metallic Summer Trend

Metallic Trend Alert

This week was packed with par­ties and pre­mieres, so we kept our eyes on all of the red car­pet hap­pen­ings to fill you in on the trends that are on the rise —

 

 

Shim­mery metal­lics: The hol­i­day sea­son doesn’t start for anoth­er month or so, but it looks like celebs are already test-driving shiny party looks. This week alone, Eva Lon­go­ria donned a cop­per num­ber, Mandy Moore sport­ed a shiny black frock and Kelly Osborne wore a sil­ver sheath. You can count on see­ing sim­i­lar­ly shim­mery styles until just after New Year’s Eve.

Whether its a sheer sweep of eye shadow or a shinycoat of nail polish, silver is the perfect edgy accent for day and night….

 

INSTRUCTIONS:

 

1. Start with a metallic silver eyeshadow over the whole lid.

2. Apply a small amount of dark eyeshadow to the outer corners of the lid.

 

3. Using a pencil brush, use the same dark eyeliner and continue the dark line underneath the eye.

4. Use a very bright white metallic eyeshadow to brighten up the inner corners of the eye.

5. Add a coat of mascara, and voila!

Justin Timberlake & Jessica Biel Wedding Photo

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel share their wedding photos

The groom serenaded his bride with a song specially written for her as she waltzed down the aisle in a spectacular pink Giambattista Valli gown.

This was the scenario as Hollywood sweethearts Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel tied the knot in an intimate Italian wedding at the magnificent Borgo Egnazia resort in Puglia.

 

Justin, the Sexyback singer, pictured literally jumping for joy, reveals his wedding gift to his love: "I figured if there was something I was going to be able to offer, it would be to sing her down the aisle."

Justin tells how laying his eyes on his bride in her custom petal pink Giambattista Valli Haute Couture gown, for the first time was, "the most beautiful thing I have ever seen." While Jessica describes how she wanted the dress to be, "romance, romance, romance. Kind of whimsical and dramatic."

 

Jessica also opted for a romantic updo for the ceremony, simple, classic and yes romantic.

Jessica Biel’s Perfect Fringe

Jessica Biel is always gorgeous, but this cut shows off her features in a whole new way.  The brow-dusting fringe and soft, piece-y length accentuate her eyes and cheekbones, while the hand-painted highlights brings dimension and brightness to the look. The combination of rich brown, caramel and gold perfectly sets off the fluid lengths of her wavy tresses.

Step: Ask your Lattouf Hair & Day Spa stylist for a razored one-length cut with a square fringe. Ask your colorist for hand-painted highlights along with the mid-shafts and ends, and tailored to the shape of the cut.

Step: Apply styling whip to the entire length for body and moisture. Dry the bangs with a flat brush, wrapping the hair back and forth to create smoothness.

Step: Dry the rest of the hair with fingers to encourage a natural texture. Finish with cream wax for added separation.

How to get your Vintage Faux Bob

Vintage Faux Bob

In the 1920s, when bobs first came into style, the cut was associated with the controversial flapper movement. Still wanting to be fashionable, less daring ladies wore their hair waved and pinned into head hugging shapes. Today, we know bobs are here to stay, but if you want the look without the commitment, this coif is a beautiful way to fake a shorter style. Get your own flapper inspired look in a few easy steps….

Step: Mist hair with KMS FREE SHAPE Hot Flex Spray for a longer lasting style and thermal protection. Curl in large sections using a mid-sized curling iron. Allow hair to cool and brush through gently to create soft waves.

Step: At the nape, pin hair flat with a row of crisscrossed bobby pins leaving the front sections loose. Wrap the ends up and over creating a small roll and secure into the row of pins.

Step: Sculpt the hair around the temples into defined waves and pin to hold in place. Spray with KMS HAIR STAY Medium Hold Hair Spray to hold and finish.

6 Common Heat Styling Mistakes

6 Common Heat Styling Mistakes

Avoid these common styling iron mistakes for sleek, straight hair with minimal damage.

1. CRANKING UP THE HEAT - ALL THE WAY

 

You don't need to turn your irons up to their max temperature this will only over heat and dry finer hair types.

 

2. FORGETTING PROTECTION

 

Not enough people use heat/thermal protectors. Lattouf recommend KMS FreeShape Hot Flex Spray to protect your hair and keep a flexable style longer.

 

3. RUNNING OVER (AND OVER AND OVER) CURLS

 

Instread of going over and over your hair and leaving it dry and damaged. Get hair as straight as possible before ironing by stretching out each section with a brush. Then slide the iron slowly and steadily in a single pass. Don't stop and go, or you'll get horizontal lines.

 

4. GOING BOARD STRAIGHT

 

 

Instead of ironing hair straight, parallel to your face, move your arm in a C shape as you proceed down the hair, and bend the ends under.

 

 

 

5. IRONING DAMP HAIR

 

If you hear a sizzling sound or see steam, well...it ain't good.

 

 

6. THINKING BIGGER IS BETTER

 

 

Some think that the larger the iron the better, this is not always the case. Instead choose a straightener with ceramic or tourmaline plates that are an inch wide.

Taylor Swift's Sexy Rolling Stone Cover Get her look

Taylor Swifts Smokey eye on Rolling Stone Cover 

Taylor Swift

How to get her look and what not to do: 

We love them. You only have to google “smokey eye” and you’ll see hundreds of thousands of blog posts and YouTube Vids showing you how to create the look, so obviously you love them too!

It’s easy to create but it’s also very easy to get wrong!! As these two starlet’s prove….erm, must have lost the blending brush!

So we’ll show you how to get the perfect Smokey Eye look in just four easy steps. The colour choice is only limited by your imagination!

But first some valuble tips:

Put your foundation on last! Its a messy business creating a Smokey Eye so better to apply your eye products first, then finish with your foundation application after.

No shadow on the top part of the eye lid. The colour should be all around your eye and not going beyond the eyelid crease, unless you have very heavy lids as seen in the pics below. Resist the urge to highlight the upper lid, you’ll look like Drag Queen! Unless of course you are a Drag Queen, then highlight away!

Blend, blend and blend some more. It’s called smokey because it looks like a puff of smoke, it’s not called “Racoon Eyes” or “Plastic from Binocula Eyes”. Think heavy with soft edges.

This is what it will look like if you don’t blend….

This is what it will look like if you do it right….

Notice her lips are very pale? Remember the golden rule; If the eyes are loud, tell the lips to be quiet.

What you’ll need:

ELES Powder Liner in any colour

ELES Mineral Matte Eye Shadow in any darkish colour, we are using Matte Twig

ELES Lush Mascara in Black

Optional – False Eyelashes

STEP ONE: Eyes should be primed and a light layer of foundation and powder applied to help the Eye Shadow bond to the eye.

STEP TWO: Using the Powder Liner apply a generous, deep line around the entire eye contour then blend with the soft rubber tip at the end of the pencil until you have a nice thick smudgy line.

STEP THREE: Press your chosen Eye Shadow into the line and begin blending out, adding more shadow to get a deeper hue. it should be darker towards the lash line and blending out to lighter on the edges, keep applying and blending until you have the desired effect, something like this…

NOTE: The eye above is heavy lidded in other words, the natural eye crease is very low. If this is the case you may apply the shadow slightly above the crease. If they eyes are not heavy lidded try to stay below the crease with only a soft blending appearing above.

STEP FOUR: Optional – Apply False Eyelashes to the top lashline. Apply several coats of Lush Mascara to the top and bottom lashes.

Voila….The Smokey Eye!

And remember, you don’t have to do it this dark, a lighter colour can be used for a softer effect.

Why do we love it?

The eye whites look whiter and the iris of the eye “pops” with vivid colour….

Summer Style Guide for Blondes - Inspiration Madonna & Reese

With summer just around the corner your not along if your wanting to add some life into your hair colour.

Most want to go lighter and brighter in the summer months although summer 2012 is more about the rich and bright colours rather that over bleached-out ones that damage your hair.

Light blonde tresses are all the rage, but don’t pull out the bleach just yet! Blonde shades are in, but the key for summer 2012 is keeping them natural looking. This means avoiding the platinum look and opting for natural golden hues.

If your hair is already light, you can add a slightly brighter shade for the summer season. One color trend is sunny, golden blonde hues to give your hair a sun-kissed look.

Lattouf Hair & Day Spa Style inspirations this season for summer blondes are Reese Witherspoon’s light golden shade or Madonna’s buttery blonde.

HAIR THE PERFECT CANVAS

Twenty years ago hair color went mainstream and with it, straight hair became all the rage. As much as we love textured, tousled, layered styles, nothing shows off gorgeous color like a smooth curtain of healthy, straight hair. The pictured ombre sheds light on what we mean. The waveless, glassy surface encourages reflection, which redoubles the wow factor flare. From chin to derrière, any one-length cut provides an ideal canvas to showoff a distinctive pigment. Learn how this simple shape can help your color shine.

Step: Healthy hair is an absolute necessity for this look. Using Silk Sheen Shampoo and conditioner ensures maximum luster, nourishment and polish.
Step: Hair cut in a single line should be trimmed often to keep ends smooth and even.
Step: KMS Silk Sheen Polishing Serum adds sparkle when applied on damp ends and blown dry on high heat. Running over lengths with a flat iron gives a dazzling finish.

One Direction Niall Horan ditches the blonde locks

One Direction star Niall Horan has ditched his famous bright blond locks.

 

Brunette

Vs

Blonde

 

 

The Irish singer, 19, revealed a new dark 'do at the iTunes Festival performance at the Roundhouse in Camden London last week.

Though some fans were shocked by the star's makeover, it seems that Niall has been considering changing his look for some time.

'My natural hair colour is nearly black,' he told reporters back in June.

'So I'm thinking about heading towards that kind of thing, because I've been doing this for a while.'

X Factor's Simon Cowell won't be pleased. In April he banned Niall from losing his boyish blond mane.

'[Niall] put in a text to him asking if he could change his hair colour. Simon was straight back on to him with a short reply: "No way,"' revealed an insider.

Wonder what Simon will say now?

We are loving the change, the hue makes Niall look much more mature.
