How to get Jennifer Lawrence's Summer Waves

With the summer season here, Jennifer Lawrence has the perfect hair length and style, suitable for the upcoming summer days. To mirror the length of her hair, hair length should sit a little under shoulder length so when styled, curls sit shoulder length. Ask your hair stylist to put some layers throughout the hair to achieve a summer look with volume and a non perfect style. To style, shampoo hair with Kevin Murphy BALANCING.WASH to enrich hair with anti oxidants and give the hair a fresh look. Before styling, apply Kevin Murphy's BODY.GUARD to damp hair to smooth dry ends and protects the hair from mechanical damage.  Style hair with thin iron by taking small sections and wrapping hair once around thong and slide through with hand at an angle. This will allow for a wave affect. Continue this throughout all sections. The various layers throughout the hair will allow for different length of curls allowing for a volumising effect. Finish styling by lightly spraying Kevin Murphy's SESSION.SPRAY to give the hair a weightless, lasting hold.

Braids are the new trend!

A how to on achieving this effortless yet fun look

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Back in the day, braids used to be the hairstyle we used to get when we were running late to school and needed a quick style that was easy and neat. But now, braids are worn by celebrities for any occasion. Whether it be out to dinner or on the red carpet. Achieving these looks is quite simple.

 

1. To achieve these looks, use Kevin Murphy Young again while hair is wet, before styling, to ensure hair is protected and shiny. 

 

2. Blow dry hair using a round brush for added volume.

 

3. After blow drying, you could apply a small about of Kevin Murphy Young Again to further smooth the hair and maintain any fly aways.

 

4. If you want to achieve the slick look like the beautiful Jordan Sparks, spray Kevin Murphy session spray to achieve a strong pull back hold with a braid on the end.

Taylor Swift's Sexy Rolling Stone Cover Get her look

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….
