Rounding out the Summer with a few decade-inspired trends. Sleek-chic, sassy pixies + more!
Cristina’s strong facial features make her the perfect candidate for a pixie! Paired with bold 80s makeup, this girl is ready to take on the town.
CRISTINA
HAIR TREND INSPO:
Modern Pixie
ABOUT THIS LOOK:
This is THE perfect cut to pair with strong facial features. A gal with confidence in her femininity can rock a pixie with style. The best part is the (almost) effortless style time associate. Once you get that great cut, a simple blow-dry, shape and finish is all that’s needed to wear this look.
HERO PRODUCTS:
Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Infinite Color Hold Vibrancy Serum – this powerful hair serum can be used as a leave-in treatment or as a color-preserving mask to condition and add radiance and shine to the hair.
Alterna Caviar Style Concrete Extreme Definition Clay – the perfect product for pixies! This ultra-hold styling clay provides texture and separation with a matte finish.
Davines THIS IS A DRY TEXTURIZER – Again, another must-have for pixies. This product creates texture with a ruffled effect. It’s not sticky and doesn’t weigh the hair down. Instead, the results are a perfect style with a natural effect.
MAKEUP TREND INSPO:
Modern take on the 80’s. [This goes without saying] this look is ALL about the eyes.
ABOUT THIS LOOK:
With Cristina’s gorgeous skin tone, we went with bold color for her eyes and lips. This look can be translated for all ladies – find a bright color that works with your skin tone and go for it!
HERO PRODUCTS:
Makeup Geek Shadow – Hot Pants & Fashion Addict blended together.
Silver liquid eyeliner under brown to highlight brow.
Jennifer’s sleek, straight hair is a perfect throw back to the 70s. Decade-inspired looks rule the Summer staples.
JENNIFER
HAIR TREND INSPO:
Middle part. 70’s-vibe, straight and Cher-inspired. No texture.
ABOUT THIS LOOK:
Fashion-forward females can definitely rock the center part for a bold look. For styling, a quick word to the wise. Alterna Caviar Style Concrete Extreme Definition Clay is IT for styling. Keep those fly-aways at bay and get hold that lasts the day.
HERO PRODUCTS:
Global Keratin Serum – apply to wet hair right in the root. Smooths out any flyaways while delivering shine. The concentrated dose of Juvexin creates a protective shield over each strand leaving a soft smooth finish.
Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Infinite Color Hold Vibrancy Serum – apply ¾ of the way down the hair for added radiance and shine.
Alterna Infinite Color Hold Topcoat Shine Spray – A must-have project when flat-ironing. Not only is this shine spray a heat protectant, it helps amp up the shine (and, smells amazing!)
MAKEUP TREND INSPO:
70s-inspired makeup. This look is a total progression of the trends that were so popular but are phasing out. Go for the graphic liner and dewy skin (instead of a matte look.) Amp up the look with natural feathered brows and a highlight on the skin (instead of the once-popular contour.)
ABOUT THIS LOOK:
Believe it or not, graphic eyeliner can be worn subtle for work – think blended…not as defined. But for a fun night out, go for that bold, not-quite winged liner. Bye bye cat eye.
HERO PRODUCTS:
Youngblood Eclipse Gel Liner in black
Youngblood Blue Suede Eyeliner (for the bottom) in blue
