Tutorial: Everyday Vintage Hair

Hello my dears!

I apologize for the lack of posts this past week. I've been quite busy and have not had much time. I hope that today's post will make up for it!

This is my typical everyday vintage hairstyle. It's great for ladies who have longer hair like me but I'm sure it would look just as nice on a gal with shorter hair! What I love about setting my hair the night before is that it saves so much time in the morning when you are getting ready. All I have to do is put my makeup on and then take the rollers out and brush until I get the look I want. So I hope you enjoy this tutorial and it is helpful to some of you!




1. I started out with slightly damp hair the night before. I used foam rollers to set the back of my hair. The size of the roller you use is up to you. If you want tight curls use smaller rollers and if you want more loose curls go for a bigger size. The ones I used were about 1".

Scarlett Johansson in Black Dahlia Inspired Makeup Tutorial

Scarlett Johansson is one of my favorite modern actresses. She's beautiful, intelligent, funny and of course she's one darn good actress! One of my favorite looks on her is when she portrayed Kay Lake in The Black Dahlia. The film itself isn't the greatest but I love the hair, makeup and costumes so I can overlook that haha. I did some research online and found out how makeup artist Heba Thorisdottir created Scarlett's look. It was inspired and created to match film noir in 1946 to 1947. Heba used three different shades of red on Scarlett from Julie Hewett's Film Noir Collection. Of course I was pleased when I read this..I love the Film Noir lipsticks! Nude Noir was used for a bare look, Rouge Noir for everyday and Femme Noir for a more dramatic look. I love this look so much that I filmed a makeup tutorial inspired by it! It's a very easy everyday 40's look and I hope you enjoy!

Tutorial: The Sculpture Pin Curler

I recently reviewed the Sculpture Pin Curler and now I'm going to show you all how to use it!

Normally I would be doing this on damp hair but for the sake of this tutorial let's just pretend it is. ;) You can also use a setting lotion or any other styling product you prefer for pin curling. Make sure to brush out your hair and that there are no knots or tangles.

1. Part your hair where you'd like and section off a piece of hair to pin curl. Slip the curler-comb into the hair at scalp and comb through to the very ends of the hair.





2. Wrap the ends around the curler and roll it back to the head.






3. Turn the curler up on end, give a tightening turn and remove.






4. Pin the curl in place flat to the head. You can use bobby pins or an alligator clip.





There you have it! Simple and quick!
