Fairy Princess Makeup and Hair




Makeup Supplies:
  • Makeup brushes
  • Foundation
  • Three colors of eyeshadow (I used light purple, dark purple, and teal)
  • Blush
  • Eyeliner
  • Mascara
  • Vaseline
  • Glitter
  • Body glue
  • Gemstones


1. Blend in your foundation all over, to create a smooth look.

2. Using the light purple, apply to innermost corner of eye and along the brow bone following the eyebrow.

3. Take the dark purple and starting near the inner corner of the eye, sweep the color across three-quarters of the eyelid.

4. Take a bright teal and dust across the remaining one-quarter of your eyelid and bring it out to your temple. Use circular motions to blend it around the edges.

5. Slightly rub Vaseline across your temple and dab some glitter on your brush and streak across the Vaseline. The Vaseline will help the glitter to stick.

6. Line your eyes with eyeliner and apply two coats of mascara.

7. Using body glue, gently attach gems across your face, surrounding your eyes.

8. Kiss the apples of your cheeks with blush.

Hair Supplies:
  • Comb
  • Hairspray
  • Curling iron
  • Bobbypins
  • Hair elastics
  • Decorative headband

1. Part off the top section of your hair. Rat it (hold it straight up and comb down) to create lots of volume.

2. Smooth over and pin it to create a bump, spray with hairspray.

3. Braid the rest of your hair leaving a few strands in the front, around your ears, to be curled.

4. Wrap and tuck the braid up so it's touching the nape of the neck and pin into place. Spray with hairspray.

5. Curl the strands around your face. Spray.

6. Add the decorative headband, draping it around your forehead and under your bump. Secure with bobbypins.

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.
Now for the hair.

Hair Supplies You'll Need:
  • Hairspray
  • A comb
  • Small, clear rubberbands
  • Colored hair spray paint (optional, can get at Sally's Beauty Supply Store for about $5)
1. Part off a small top section of hair. Pull the rest of your hair back and style into a cute bun.
2. Take the back of your top section, hold it straight up, spray with hairspray, and comb straight down, and re-spray with hairspray. Continue moving forward through the section until all your hair is standing upright.
3. Tie the top with an elastic, to help keep its shape.
4. If you desire, use a temporary colored hairspray and mist your hair with the color.


5. Add a matching shirt and you've become a Troll!

How to Dip-Dye Your Hair With Kool-Aid

This is a fun and temporary way to experiment with wild colors in your hair. It lasts anywhere from one shampoo to two months, it depends on your hair. Of course this is not done professionally in a salon, but would be fun for a girl's night out!
Please note that you may need to previously lighten your hair to obtain a rich, vibrant color.


What You Need
  • Multiple Kool-Aid packets*
  • Boiling Water
  • Glass Bowl
  • Paper Towel
How To Dye Your Hair
1. Mix Kool-Aid and water in pan, using a 1:1 ratio. (1 cup of water to every Kool-Aid packet)
2. Bring the mixture to a boil.
3. Remove from heat and pour into the glass bowl.
4. Dip the ends of your hair into the bowl and let it process for 5-10 minutes.
5. After processing time has finished, towel dry it using a paper towel.
*May need multiple packets for desired color
