Bohemian-Chic Hair and Makeup Tutorial

This totally fun and super easy Boho-chic look will definitely go with a flowy dress or cute sandals like these!

      
           So I came up with this look on a bored Saturday morning. I was planning on going to the mall later that day and decided that my normal makeup routine was just too...well, routine. I wanted to try something new, but still cute and not super bold. I wanted a fun look that I could easily rock any day. So the hair that I did was basically a side braid...with a special twist. And the makeup is a beautiful cinnamon gold color lined with a splash of aqua! So simple, yet so eye-catching!

The materials that you need for the hair are:

• 1 inch curling iron (optional)
• heat protectant
• anti-frizz serem (I recommend Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Anti-frizz Serem)
• clear elastics (can be found at the dollar store)
• hairspray

The materials needed for the makeup are:

• Covergirl Eye Enhancers Eyeshadow in Aqua Paradise, Snow Blossom
• Bronzer (optional)
• Your normal concealer/foundation products (if you don't use them then it's fine)
• Eye primer (optional)
• Covergirl Lip Perfection Lipstick in #275 Kiss or Covergirl Natureluxe Gloss Balm in #265 Sandstone (or a nude color, if you prefer) (optional)
• Any kind of clear gloss (optional)
• Maybelline Eyeshadow in Cinnamon Spice (High-Pearl)
• angled brush
• a little bit of water
• Mascara (any kind)

Hair:

TIP: If your hair is already wavy, curly, etc. or you just don't want to curl it, then just skip the curling part of this look. I like to curl my hair so that the braid doesn't look too "perfect" and so that the loose pieces that come out are wavy and frame my face, but this is YOUR look, so you decide what you want to do.

1. Spray heat protectant evenly and brush out your hair to distribute the product throughout all of your hair. Take your curling iron and curl your hair (do not spray hairspray, leave it until the end). It doesn't have to be neat or even going the right way, as long as your result is curly or wavy.

2. Leave the curls alone so that they can set and fall out a bit.

3. After about 5 minutes, lean your head back and shake out the curls so that they're slightly messy.

4. Pull all of your hair to one side. Leave out what you want (I usually leave some strands out to frame my face).

5. Make two loose side braids. Make sure that one is bigger than the other (it doesn't matter which). Just make sure that the braids fall on top of each other, not next to each other. Secure with elastics.

6. Twist the two braids together tightly (because they will untwist slightly) and secure the bottom with an elastic.

7. Loosen up the braids (slightly pull out some strands, make it messier) until you have the look that you want.

8. Take your serem and apply some to your braid for shine and control.

9. Hairspray and enjoy!

Makeup:

1. Apply your concealer, foundation, and bronzer if you wish.

2. Apply the eye primer to your whole lid (if you are using it).

3. Take your cinnamon spice eyeshadow and apply it all over your lid.

4. Take your angled brush and dip it in water. Shake the brush once so that any excess water comes off. Gently glide the brush over the aqua eyeshadow so that it becomes a liquid liner and line your top lid. Line it as thick or thin as you wish.

5. Wipe of the angled brush and repeat it with the cinnamon spice eyeshadow on your bottom lid, as a normal eyeliner.

6. Using your finger, blot on a little of the snow blossom eyeshadow onto the inner corner of your eyes to brighten them.

7. Apply your mascara and lipstick with gloss.

8. Enjoy your beautiful new look!
