The perfect vintage solution to bad hair days!  Here is a quick and relatively simple new tutorial that will teach you how to create those lovely side sweeps and the right way to wear a snood. Remember this 1940′s hair style from last week’s outfit post?  This is how I did it!

Yay! Finally it is tutorial time again!

This time around I’m going to show you that long promised tutorial on how to use liquid liner to create a simple, retro, winged liner look.  This is a great starting point for beginners and those of you that don’t have such a steady hand.  You can use this same technique to bump it up a notch and go for a heavier Amy Winehouse style of liner or keep it a more subtle Marilyn Monroe style wing.

Enjoy!

I’ve been asked many times how I tie my simple headscarf.  The one I wear when I’m setting my pin curls and still want to be able to go out on errands looking half way decent.  So today, I have a simple video tutorial for you, taking you through three simple and easy to achieve looks with a large square scarf.

There are so many I could show you, but don’t want to overload you by creating a whole two hour tutorial! So here are the first three ways that can be adapted to suit your own style.

I’ve been experimenting with different makeup colours and styles this year. Lots of pinks, purples and even a bit of sparkle.  One of the looks you’ve loved and asked for a tutorial on is this one, I call it my Romantic Makeup.

I am wearing lashes in these shots, but I’ve skipped them in the tutorial to keep it simple.

Also, because I didn’t get a good shot of the shadow I was using on camera, here is a detailed shot for you.

I’ve used the middle colour as the main base for this look and the darkest for the contour. I’ve also used a seperate purple shadow in the footage mainly because I’d already used up all the purple in this palette! I love these shadows and they way you can get very different looks by using them as either wet or dry. Hypo allergenic, fragrance free and suitable for contact lense wearers, these are a great inexpensive buy at $19.99 a pop from Priceline.

I’d love to see how this one works for you. Send me a link if you try it for yourself!

Hold onto your hats friends, because today’s hair tutorial is a never before attempted feat of daring!

Two of my blogging buddies (who are also well known for creating fun and interesting tutorials) and I were having a little chat one evening when we came up with this idea. It went something like this, “Hi Violet, Hi Cheesie. You know how much we love doing awesome hair tutorials? Well how about we try this?”

It is a simple and fun hair do you’ve seen me wear an casual days and asked for a tutorial on. It’s also one you can customise to your own style.

Enjoy!
