Step by step

Products Used:

• Simple cleanser, toner & moisturiser
• Illamasqua Satin Primer
• Mac Face & Body foundation in
• Mac Pro Longwear concealer in
• Kryolan translucent powder
• Kryolan bronzer
• Mac Lady Danger lipstick
• L'oreal telescopic mascara

Step One:

Start with a clean base by doing a cleanse, tone and moisturise on your model. You want a fresh face to work on!

Step Two:

Apply Illamasqua Satin Primer to the face using a flat foundation brush, this will aid in giving your base a more dewy finish.

Step Three:

Using a foundation brush of your choice apply Mac's face & body foundation evenly to the face, make sure you blend it out around the jaw line and down the neck.

Step Four:

Take Mac's Pro Longwear concealer and apply under the eyes, blend with a small brush. This will brighten the under eye area and disguise dark circles.

Step Five:

Apply powder on top to set but avoid powdering the face to keep this skin glowing.

Step Six:

Take a mixture of Kryolan Bronzer and a black eyeshadow to create a contour on dark skin. Just dip your brush into a couple of shades until you get the colour you are happy with. Apply lightly, it's easier to add than to take away if you make a mistake!

Step Seven:

Coat the lashes in mascara on the top and bottom lashes to give the eyes some definition.

Step Eight:

Using a lip brush apply Mac's Lady Danger generously to the lips making sure your line is as precise as possible.

Classic shapes and silhouettes

You will need:

• Hair Brushes/combs
• Serum/wax & mousse
• Hair dryer
• Straighteners

Sleek Hair

Step One:

Wet the hair and apply a serum to soften the hair.

Step Two:

Section the hair and blow dry the sections as straight as you can. Make sure you aim the hairdryer towards yourself to keep the hair smooth.

Step Three:

If necessary you can use a hair straightener to flatten out any stubborn pieces of hair.

Sleek Ponytail

Step One:

Use a small amount of serum or mousse to help smooth back the hair.

Step Two:

Brush the hair up into a pony tail making sure you brush all around the front and underneath to get rid of any bumps.

Step Three:

The best way to secure this into place is by using a bungee tie, this means you wont have to losen your grip on the ponytail so you can keep the hair flat.

Step Four:

Using your hair product of choice lightly comb down and lose flyaway hairs.

Slicked Back Style

Step One:

Take pieces of hair from either side of the models head and brush them back tightly to the back of the head and secure with kirby grips.

Step Two:

With the hair at the front and top of the head you want to brush it back to cover the section you just clipped, secure with hairspray.

Natural beauty hair

You will need:

• Hair brushes
• Hair dryer and diffuser
• Sea salt spray
• Water spray
• Mousse

Step One:

Spray the hair with a water spray to make it damp not soaking wet. If your model has naturally straight hair apply mousse to help set into this style.

Step Two:

Spray the hair with sea salt spray, this will help to give it the texture you need.

Step Three:

Using the diffuser you want to take pieces of the hair and scrunch it into the top so it dries into a messy/wavy style.

Step Four:

Once dry you can go in with a curling tong if there are any stubbon pieces of hair that didn't dry into the texture you needed.

Step Five:

This type of hairstyle will make it much easier to style into up do's and give them more texture.

Plaiting for fashion

You will need:

• Hair brushes/combs
• Kirby grips
• Hair ties

The Wiggle Plait

Step One:

First create a simple 3 strand plait making sure it's not too tight.

Step Two:

Hold the plait at the end and simply push the middle section up to create a messy plait.

 Waterfall Plait

Step One:

Take 3 strands of hair and begin as if you were french plaiting.

Step Two:

Do this step twice and when it comes to grabbing another section drop the middle piece and grab a new section from the models head.

Step Three:

Continue this until you have plaited all the hair you want to.

Slipknot Tie

Step One:

Start with the front section of the hair and split this in two to tie a knot, you can ask the model to hold the end of the hair to keep it secure and out of the way.

Step Two:

Take the next section from the temples of the head and repeat the above step.

Step Three:

For the third section, bring the first sections of hair underneath the second to join the handfuls and knot.

Step Four:

Bring the second section of hair underneath the third to knot with the fourth and continue this pattern down the hair and secure at the end.

Hair up and adding accessories

What you will need:

• Hair brushes
• Kirby grips
• Hair Ties
• Any accessories you will want to add 

Step One:

Start by brushing through your models hair to ensure there are no knots and tangles then make a clean part in the hair that's slightly off centre.

Step Two:

Section the front of the hair in line with the models ears and section it out of the way until you need it later on.

Step Three:

Lightly backcomb using your backcombing brush at the crown to give some extra volume.

Steph Four:

Tie the hair back into a low ponytail right at the nape of the neck and secure this with a hair tie.

Step Five:

Back comb the ponytail to give it more shape and texture for when you put it up into a style.

Step Six:

Roll the ponytail from the bottom and upwards to the back of the head and secure with kirby grips.

Step Seven:

You can use wide grips or the end of a pintail comb to adjust the roll where you would like until you get the desired shape.

Step Eight:

With the front section of hair you clipped aside earlier you can create a twist or any type of plait you want and then secure it into the back with the rest of the hair.

Step 9:

To finish off the look add any accessories you would like! 

60’s Style Hair

You will need:

• Paddle brush
• Pintail comb
• Section clips
• Backcombing brush
• Heated tongs
• Kirby grips

Step One:

As with any hairstyle start by brushing through the models hair to ensure there are no knots and part the hair into a side parting. Though some women would wear a centre parting a side part was more common in the 60's.

Step Two:

Make two clean sections at the front; these will be used to finish off your hairstyle at the end. Also take another smaller section, which will also be used to finish up the look. Clip these out of the way.

Step Three:

Take another small section of hair behind the pieces you just clipped, use your heated tongs to curl the section and then gently slide the tong out making sure the curl is still in place. Hold it in with a section clip then repeat this until you get to about ear level, do the same to the side of the head.

Step Four:

To check the hair has cooled down you can just place your finger inside the curl; you can then remove of the clips to begin backcombing.

Step Five:

You want to gently backcomb each section; it needs to hold the hair into place without making it difficult to brush out. You can then move the hair around to get the beehive style shape you want, use the end of your comb to help lift the hair. Clip it into place at the back with a couple of Kirby grips.

Step Six:

This is where the small section you pulled out earlier will be useful. The backcomb can make the hair look messy so by pulling this over and clipping it in with the rest of the hair it will give a smooth finish to the style.

Step Seven:

With the last pieces of hair at the front you can clip them into the back too so that the hair is still in its parting but out of the way which gives it that 60's look.

Adding volume to the hair by blow drying

Equipment you will need: 

• Hairdryer 
• Round brush 
• Denman brush 
• Paddle brush 
• Water spray 
• Mousse  
• Section clips 
  
  

Step One: 

Start by brushing through the hair to ensure there are no knots, if the hair is wet you will need to blast it with a hot hairdryer first so that it’s only slightly damp. The last 10% of moisture is what changes the state of the hair so you will save time by blasting it beforehand. 

Step Two: 

The best way is to start with the back then do the sides so section off the hair and take a small piece of hair, if the section is too big it will be more difficult to get close to the root.  

Step Three: 

Hold the round brush underneath the section and hold it upright blowing the hot air into the root, once that’s dry you can move onto the mid-lengths and ends of the hair. At this point you can angle the brush more towards your body as the volume is only focusing at the roots.  

Step Four:  

Take down another section of hair and repeat the above, keep going until you reach the crown then move onto the sides.  

Step Five: 

When you get to about the temples of the head stop and go back to the top, you want to brush the remaining section of hair forward and bring the brush underneath pointing the hairdryer forwards, this will give even more volume when you flip the hair back. 

Step Six: 

The sides will blend in with the front section when drying giving you lots of volume at the front of the head. To finish off roughly spiral curl the ends and brush out, this will just give a polished look to the hairstyle.
