Make-up: Solid Gold

Urban Decay! Need i say more! They make the best, most vibrant colors that STAY. For this design, I used  the color palette shadows.The yellow color is called Honey, which I applied with a thin, asymmetrical brush from the inside corner of my eye to the outer part with a wing. Start off with a thin line and widen out  The green is called Graffiti and I applied it only from the middle of my top lid to the end of the yellow wing. Smudge the green into the yellow so there is a gradual addition of the green. On the bottom lid and wing, I used Tokidoki Perfetto Eyeliner.

Hair: Hair Bow

The Hair Bow! This was inspired by Bebexo on youtube. When I first decided I wanted to try new things with my hair, I turned to Seventeen Magazine and youtube. It is so hard to find fun styles for adults that aren't just a new hair cut, so Bebexo has the BEST and most creative styles I've ever seen and they work on ALL types of hair. This style is produced by simply putting your hair into an upside down "pull-through" bun, so about a 1 inch tail of the bun is on top of your head. Once you have the bun, pull it apart into 2 sections to create the loops of the bow. Bobby pin the loops down and pin the tail down over the middle of the bow to create the "bridge" of the bow. Pin the tail tightly behind your scrunchy to keep the loops separate. And there you go!
