Rosie the Riveter Hairstyle

December 7, is Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. So in honor of WWII, I'm going to show how to do Rosie the Riveter's famous hairstyle.

Supplies:

• Comb
• Hairspray
• Bobby pins
• Hair tie
• Bandanna

1. Part of a small section of hair. Hold it straight up, spray with hairspray, and comb straight down. Gently smooth back and pin it.

2. Tie the rest of your hair into a low ponytail. Twist the ponytail around and pin with bobby pins. You want your hair as flat as possible, so that the bandanna won't stick out too far.

3. Fold the bandanna in half to form a triangle. Taking the longest flat side of the bandanna, place it on the nape of your neck. Bring the opposite corner to the top of your head and pin down. Next wrap the other two corners to the top and tie into a double knot. Any pieces of the bandanna that are sticking out pin down. Pin around the bandanna to secure it to your head.

Royal Shades of Purple

"Get others to treat you like royalty. Long associated with nobility and high rank, purple is a good choice to wear when you want to take charge and gain respect." (pg. 131)

All information found in Unforgettable Color: Revlon Makeup with Confidence by Selene Milano

Words that are often associated with purple are royalty, regal, mystery, intrigue, dreamers, and sultry. There are so many shades of purple, find the one that portrays your personality.

"Deep purple can be vampish and gothic, ideal for creating a sultry evening look, whereas soft powdery lilacs give a delicate prettiness that suits flirty clothes and summer daywear." (pg. 130)

"Purple evokes passion and intrigue and is associated with...sensitivity...so the color may give you just the right mix to work magic on the opposite sex." (pg. 131)

Purple is made by mixing red and blue, so it has the unique qualities of both. The passion and sultriness of red and the calming and sensitive side of blue.

"Purple is rare in nature, which makes it an exquisite and sought-after treasure. To similarly single yourself out as a rare beauty, use the flower shades of hyacinth, violet, lilac and lavender for the eye and cheek colors." (pg. 131)

Cinderella Hair Tutorial

"Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo. Salaga-doola, menchika-boola, Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo. It will do magic, believe it or not, Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo."

What You Need:

• Hair tie (matching your hair) or a clear elastic
• Bobby pins
• Comb

1. Wrap your hair into a high ponytail, on the crown of your head. You'll want a hair tie that matches your hair color. That way you won't have to worry about hiding it later.

2. Rat the inside of the ponytail. Hang your head upside down and brush up, but make sure you only rat the part that is closest to you. Spray with hairspray.

3. Begin at the bottom and start rolling it upward. Roll it until you reach the crown of your head or your hair tie.

4. Next bobby pin the base of the roll. Pin both sides of the roll.

5. Gently smooth down with hairspray. Then pin all the way around the base of the roll, smoothing while going.

Mermaid Braid Tutorial

Supplies:

• Hairspray
• Comb
• Clips
• Curling iron (optional)
• Bobbypins (matching your hair color)
• Hair elastics
• Flower clip

1. Part your hair into three sections. Section number one a square parting just above your ear. Sections two and three, split evenly using a diagonal part.



2. Taking the first section (above your ear) completely braid it to the ends. Just using a normal braid technique.

3. Now the middle section you are going to do a normal French braid, all the way to the ends.

4. The third section you are going to wrap around the back and begin braiding on the side, doing a normal braid all the way to the ends. All your braids should be on the same side now.



5. The braid from the first section, we are going to wrap around in a circle. Pin in place everytime you make a turn.

6. Now we are going to join braids, two and three together. First take each braid and gently tug the two outside strands, this will make the braid appear fuller. Next, place the braids side-to-side and bobby pin the inside strands on each of the braids. This is why getting bobby pins that match your hair color is important, you don't want to see the bobby pins connecting the two braids.

7. Clip a flower into the middle of the circle made by braid number one. If you leave pieces out of your braids you can curl them at the end.

Jem and the Holograms Makeup

Jem and the Holograms is a 1985-1988 T.V. show. It is a about a girl who has an alter-ego, named Jem, whose mysterious power comes from her earrings creating a projection that forms Jem and her band, The Holograms!

Makeup Supplies:

• Brushes
• Heavy liquid foundation
• Hot pink lipstick
• Hot pink blush
• Light pink eyeshadow
• Pink glitter cream eyeshadow
• Black eyeliner
• Black mascara

1. Using a heavy liquid foundation, apply to your whole face and blend accordingly. Using a heavy cream will make the overall effect more of a cartoon.



2. Start by using the hot pink lipstick and apply to the eyelid. Extend along your eyebrow down to the top of your cheekbone and come back up to about the halfway point of your eye. Fill in with the lipstick, this acts as a base/filler it will help the shadow to stick and gives an even color.

3. Take a brush and load it with hot pink blush, go back over the lipstick around your eye and clean up the edges to get a solid lines. Going over the whole thing will give a rich, vibrant color.

4. Using a light pink eyeshadow and a big, fluffy brush, gently tap it on your brow bone. This creates lift and makes it appear 3-D instead of 2-D.

5. Line your eyes black eyeliner and pink glitter. Use a flat brush and cream glitter eyeshadow. Apply a few coats of mascara to get some glam lashes.

6. Apply hot pink lipstick. To create a three dimensional effect, we are going to highlight the lips. Use a light pink eyeshadow and gently dab onto the center on your lips, both on top and on bottom.

The makeup look finished but to complete the costume, you need some Jem-tastic hair!

You'll Need: A blonde rocker wig and pink clip-in extensions

Clip in the pink extensions around the wig, the more you use the better it looks. Tease the wig to achieve big, messy hair just like a 1980s rocker.

Fashion and fame!"

Troll Doll Makeup and Hair

These cute dolls were first introduced in 1959 by a Danish woodcutter named Thomas Dam.

Makeup Supplies You'll Need

• Brushes
• Foundation
• Eyeliner
• Mascara
• White eyeshadow
• Nude Lipstick
• Deep bronzer
• Cotton balls
  

  
  

  

1. Start by prepping your skin with your foundation.

2. Take the cotton balls and get a good amount of bronzer on it. Rub the bronzer across your face, past your jawline, down your neck, and even past your shirt neckline. It will look very orange, but Trolls have dark orangish skin.

3. Trolls have very big, round eyes. To make your eyes appear larger, you are going to put white eyeshadow on the inside corner and the outside corner. Lightly drag the excess shadow across the rest of the lid. Line the tops and bottoms of your eye, leaving the corners. Apply mascara to the top and bottom lashes.



4. Apply a nude-colored lipstick. Then using your pointer finger apply the same bronzer as above, on top of your lips. The lipstick acts as an adhesive, making the bronzer stay put.

The makeup look completed.
