2018 Easy Summer Hair Styles

7 hot looks you have to try this summer!

Summer is on its way, which means warm sun blessing our skin, lazy beach days, your besties, favorite drinks, oh and of course looking fricken hot... like the weather... see what I did there... wink face. So I wanted to share with you my favorite EASY summer hair styles!

Hallelujah for warm weather, but hot temps bring sweaty necks, so let's talk UP-DOS first!

High Ponies.

Sounds pretty basic, but whats trending right now is dressing the pony up with a braid. But a braid that has a sparkly hair ribbon intertwined, so it looks like you got your hair professionally done for Coachella but in reality it only took 10 minutes. 

The Knot!

Get this runway look by pulling your hair into a slick high-pony. Tease out your tail from top to bottom, then swirl it into a ballerina bun. Run some oil over your look so your hair sparkles like diamonds and you're ready for a day at the beach or a night out in a chic dress! Take the same approach but don't be afraid to mess it up a bit for a slightly more casual look.

Pigtails

...are back. Yes. I Said it. Our favorite childhood look is hot AGAIN! Not so much Britney Spears pigtails but more so boho like, making them into two messy buns, or braiding each one and wrapping into a knot. For a more sleek pigtail look they call it The Baby Buns look. Just pull up your hair into two high pigtails, then twist each pony into a tight bun. Top with hairspray and shine spray, and for your own unique look add on some jewels or sparkles to each bun! 

Half Ponies

They have been in all year, and they better not be going any where because that is my go to look! You can literally be looking fly in under 2 minutes! My favorite part of the half pony is that you can dress it down or as UP as you want. Its a easy on the go look but can also be looking red carpet ready! Half pony can be rocked with the more retro look straight pony straight hair, or take that half pony and make it into a messy bun. Keep hair out, straight, messy, or curly you can rock it however- this is your world baby girl!

Braids

Braids, braids! I love braids, French, dutch, mermaid! Whichever wherever, braids always slay. You can be in your bikini or on you’re way to the Oscars and braids can be pulled off! But if you're like me, my hands are not so talented when It comes to braiding hair, so tutorials are crazy helpful!

If you can't take it and give up on these looks- effortless hair styles below are just as satisfying!

Beach Waves

Is there any look that says summer more than beachy waves? Nope! In this blog --> I give you all the uses for your flat irons and beach waves is one of them! If that's too much work for you on your way the beach, just throw some dry shampoo or salt water spray in your hair, shape those beach waves, and leave the house!

The Wet Look

The wet hair look is still in and it's not going anywhere this summer. A small portion of gel will do the trick, and if that's too much of a grease look for you, scrunch with some mouse, or my favorite- sea salt spray, and that will add the perfect texture for your wet hair look! 

All of these looks are so easily achievable and work for all hair types. Perfecting all these summer looks can be done in less that 15 minutes, which just sounds like more time in the sun! You're welcome girls!

How to get a poreless, flawless face instantly

Primer, Foundation, and Baking Tips!

Makeup Tips and Tricks for poreless face.JPG

Everyone who loves makeup knows there’s nothing better than learning new trends and techniques to make your makeup routine easier. I recently did a live video of applying my daily routine make up with my favorite New Year look and wanted to give those who missed out a chance to get to know my favorite tips and hacks.

First- Primer: I know personally I was always skeptical about primers…I just saw it as another product for the industry to make use makeup addicts fall into but ladies! LADIES! Primer is a must! It helps smoothing fine lines, wrinkles and large pores. Once you apply the primer think of your face as a beautiful blank canvas, for makeup to go on flawlessly and stay on all day! My go to Primer is Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer!

Next Foundation Application: Everyone has their own preference on applying foundation but after using everything in the book I found my one true love, which is my Urban Decay Pro Optical Blurring Brush. But regardless of the brand using a brush is by far the best way to apply foundation. Why? When used properly, a brush is one of the fastest ways to apply foundation. They blend foundation seamlessly giving skin an even, airbrushed finish. They provide great coverage. Hygienic You can layer easily, giving you more control over coverage. They are good for getting into hard to reach nooks and crannies and they buff foundation into the skin for natural-looking results. In comparison to a makeup sponge…you are just pressing the product right onto you face, sponges are meant to adsorb...so you will be going thru your product a lot faster..also sponges need to be replaced frequently..so buying yourself a nice foundation brush is the equivalent of going thru 5 sponges. The difference is undeniable! The Brush works best with my favorite foundation.. Urban Decay All Nighter Foundation!

Baking: Here's how you can pull off poreless, picture-perfect skin and brighten your eye area... BAKING! My favorite! which refers to letting translucent powder sit on your face for five to ten minutes, which allows the heat from your face to set your base foundation and concealer, and then dusting it off your face, leaving you with a creaseless, flawless finish. It also works as a matte highlighter on your face for those who don't like that shiny sparkly look! My Favorite product to bake with is Dermablend Loose Setting Powder!

All products can be found at Ulta Beauty- honestly, they have everything!
