Match your look to your locks!

There is a huge variety of hairstyles that highlight different features of the face, and it is important to know the tips and tricks to enhance your look and style!

Bangs:

A heavy fringe has the tendency to attract attention to the eyes as the hair hits right at/or below the brows. Use muted metallic eye shadows, line the top and bottom lashes and apply mascara to make your eyes pop. Use a highlighting eye shadow right below the brows and on the inner corner of the eye for a brightening effect. With bold eyes, ensure that a nude or neutral lip colour is used!

Layered:

The most common layered styles usually consist of layers that typically hit at the middle of the face. This can create a shadow effect and an illusion of higher cheekbones. Use this to your advantage with a rosy blush and a pink-tone highlighter on the highest point of your cheekbones, only apply the products softly as too make product can look overdone and unnatural.

Mid-length locks:

Follow the gesture of the cut towards the bottom of the face, and focus on your lips! Defined, bold lips are a perfect complement to mid-length locks! Conceal around the lips for definition and choose a vibrant lip hue like red, wine, plum or berry. When focusing on bold lips, make sure your eyes and the rest of the face are natural and soft. Use neutral eye shadow colours with a light layer of eye liner and mascara and a neutral blush colour - too many bold features can appear clownish!

Pixie cut:

A style that tends to shine a spotlight on the top zone of the face! In other words, it is essential to keep your brows neat and groomed. We wouldn’t want the spotlight to focus on the unplucked, stray brow hairs just above your gorgeous eyes! Apply a pearly taupe eye shadow over your lids, with mascara and a rosy lip colour to suit your crop cut!

Long & Luscious:

With long hair comes a full face focus with all the features on display. So with flawless hair comes flawless skin! Use a brightening foundation, a natural peach highlighter and gentle eye makeup to enhance your gorgeous complexion! Don’t forget to wear powder and use blotting papers to remove oil and improve the longevity of your makeup!

Matching your makeup to your style will help to enhance your features and will also enhance your hair. Don't forget to use quality hair products to ensure for perfect, healthy hair!
