Beach Waves & Hot Lip

Summer is approaching but don't worry you still have time to perfect this beachy wave. 

Start with a volumizing mousse on damp hair. We are using Kevin Murphy's Body Builder. 

Work mousse into your roots for lift.

Begin to blow dry. Use your hand while blow drying to lift your hair in the opposite direction of its fall to create body and lift.

Now for the curl. We are using a 1" curling iron for Evy's length of hair. If your hair is longer than shoulder length go for a 1 1/2" iron. 

Taking random sections, start the curling iron in the middle of your length of hair... Direct the curl away from your face. Wrap the hair around the rod until you have about a inch (or two if your hair is longer) left uncurled. Leaving the ends straight gives you that undone look. 

Continue this process all around the hair and remember it doesn't need to be exact and perfect.

Next you'll need a texturizing spray. We are using Kevin Murphy's Hair Resort.

Lift the curls and spray a few inches away from the hair. This creates that gorgeous beachy texture and adds a little grit to the hair. Shake the curls out using your hands.

Your new go to summer look. 

Now you need a make up look to match. 

There are many liquid illuminators, here is a great one to try. I squeeze out a pee sized amount, rub it between my fingers, than tap it onto my cheek bone. After that I softly rub it in with circular motions with my finger tips. I than allow to dry before applying contour/blush. 

 

Here is the finished look; topped off with one of my favorite NYX pairs. Lip liner in NYX Pumpkin, and NYX Matte Lipstick in Indie Flick.

This is one of our favorite looks that we wear often. We hope you love it too. Xoxo Evy and Katie
