Quick & Easy Holiday Makeup - Modern Classic Lined Eye

Party season is in full swing, you're running around checking your lists and the one thing you keep coming up short on is .. "time"... So here's some inspiration for a quick and easy makeup look that will suit ANYBODY and is perfect for the party season and those of us who are time poor.

In my opinion one of the most beautiful women who ever lived is Audrey Hepburn. Audreys' signature makeup look is all about the liquid lined eye. Perfect for any skin tone, age group and occasion. The focus is all on her eyes and gives us a great starting point. To get Audreys look one of my favorite liners is Rimmel Glam Eyes Liquid liner. The key is a super slim tip that allows you to build up your liner from a day to night look very easily giving you all the control. Don't fuss if you don't get it perfect that's what we have a q-tip for. 

Keira Knightley recently hit the red carpet for Anna Karenina looking like a modern classic with an exaggerated cat eye and pretty pink pout. Her brows are strong like Audreys' and her liner is bold. I have a heavy lid so eye shadow is a waste of time for me. This winged liner is perfection as you can keep the rest of your makeup as simple as you want and look like you've made an effort!

Krysten Ritter is effortlessly glamorous with a more subtle lined eye that focuses heavily on the lashes. If you're not bold enough you don't have to go for the exaggerated winged look. Just goes to show how versatile this eye is and it can be paired with any lip color.

Keira Knightley gave us another beautiful look on the Anna Karenina red carpet circuit very similar to Krystens'. The focus again is all on the eyes and super long lashes and liquid liner. This look is easily achieved by adding some false lashes to your lined eye. She paired the look with a pretty raspberry tinted lip. Just perfect for the Holiday party season!

Emily Blunt gave us another modern version of the classic lined eye. She kept her bottom lashes subtle and I just love that bold pink lip for a summery evening look.

So ladies there's no reason you can't look like you have your own personal makeup artist this holiday season. Even if you don't want to wear any foundation a liquid lined eye will make you look like you've styled yourself. So give it a go and remember you can be as bold or as subtle as you like with the rest of your makeup.

Enjoy,

Celebrity Style Inspiration - Flower Crown / Garland Headband

When we think of flower garlands in the hair we think of 1970's weddings... little bridemaids with oversized flower crowns... sitting in the school playground braiding daisy chains for our hair... ahhh... nostalgia....

The flower crown has seen a steady rise in the past 12 months or so. One of it's earliest re-incarnations was seen on Lana Del Rey who wore it big and bold, definitely not for everyone. We love the newer, softer, more subtle take on it because you don't need to be 15 years old to wear it.

We love Keira Knightleys version. It sits on the crown of her hair and the single color keeps the look from being too girly or hippy. A wonderful modern take that screams elegance and romance this look would be a perfect updo for a bride.

Vanessa Hudgens is every inch the hippy chic on the festival trail with her garland sitting across her forehead in a traditional style.

You would be forgiven for mistaking Kirsten Dunst for a Swedish Princess with this delicate garland styled headband. It sits high on her crown, the colors are soft pastels and golds which softly blend into her golden hair. Go for a tonal garland if you want a soft look like this.

Una Healy is a vision with her tumbling locks and delicate garland. The colors of the garland compliment her hair beautifully and we rather like the matching eye shadow. This look leads us into the boho bridal garland as this would be a perfect look for that special day.

Inspiration for the boho bride who wants to wear her hair down and be crowned with flowers. This look works well with or without a veil.

Beautiful waves paired with a bold, striking garland creates an ethereal feel for the bride who does not wish to wear a traditional tiara of veil.



Finally a big, beautiful, bold headband version that you can create yourself from styletodiyfor . This is perfect for the diy bride or for a day at the races. We'll definitely be giving this one a go at home!

Enjoy!
