Kristen Stewart at the KCAs 2013: The Messy Fishtail

Hey everyone! I know it's been a long time since this year's KCA, and since all that time I've been admiring Kristen's whole look. From the cool playsuit to the amazing hair, I was blown. It just leaves an impression of youth and freedom combined with great fashion taste. Oh, and the purple smokey eyes, that the icing on the cake! I just loved it! Therefore I couldn't resist to post a great and easy hair tutorial that I've found here (click there to get more info on the products used) and plus, a makeup tutorial for her look!

Hair magician ADIR ABERGEL hooked the 22-year-old up for the night by styling her long auburn tresses in quite possibly the coolest fishtail braid I’ve ever seen. Using the Fekkai products he created this, undone, fresh and simple to recreate hairstyle. So, here is the hair tutorial (just wait a few seconds and the video will appear itself).

AND NOW, THE MAKEUP...

Kristen posed for the KCA cameras giving them a smouldering ultra-violet stare courtesy of her smoky deep purple eyes. Chanel Celebrity Makeup Artist JILLIAN DEMPSEY was inspired by both her eye color and the shade of her outfit.

Before starting, Jillian had to start with a clean palette.

“I prepped her skin with CHANEL Hydra Beauty Sèrum followed by CHANEL Sublimage Essential Regenerating Fluid and then dabbed a little CHANEL Sublimage La Crème Yeux under her eyes.

I used a combination of CHANEL Vitalumière Aqua Ultra-Light Skin Perfecting Sunscreen Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 15 on Kristen’s face and neck and CHANEL Correcteur Perfection Long Lasting Concealer with soft focus on pigments to conceal and event out her complexion.

On the apples of her cheeks, I lightly dusted CHANEL Powder Blush in Rose Initial. I then did a series of highlights on her upper cheekbones and bridge of her nose with CHANEL Exclusive Creation Poudre Signèe De Chanel Illuminating Powder.”

Now, for the eyes!

“The eyes were the cornerstone of this look. I chose CHANEL LES 4 OMBRES Quadra Eyeshadow in Vanitès and relied on the deep purple shade to add depth to Kristen’s eyes. I blended and layered metallic accents on her lids to intensify the purple shades using CHANEL Illusion D’Ombre Long Wear Luminous Eyeshadow in Mirifique. To continue the purple iridescence theme, I traced underneath her lower lashes with CHANEL Precision Eye Definer in Violet Smoke.

I also used CHANEL Stylo Yeux Waterproof Long Lasting Eyeliner in Black Shimmer on her upper lash line for extra definition.

I curled the lashes and added two coats of Le Volume de Chanel Mascara in Noir. I added a few individual lashes to finish.”

And for the perfectly pale pout?
Jillian used CHANEL Rouge Coco Shine Hydrating Sheer Lipshine in Candeur on her lips “for a natural, peachy nude hue.”

Make Up Tips: Red Lips

At this year's New York fashion week, red lips were everywhere! That was just the beginning of the trend. Now, women are wearing it not only for special events, but every part of the day. But, you'll need to watch out, because you can make an easy mistake combining it with what you are wearing. Well, that is not the theme of this post. I'm going to show you the easiest way to get  perfectly lined red lips. And in the same time using the maximum or their red color.

First, using a toothbrush or disposable mascara wand with a lip balm, remove any dead skin from your lips by gently scrubbing them in circular motions. Then outline the perimeter with a nude liner to prevent fathering. Apply red lipstick directly from the tube, and then using an eyeshadow blending brush & translucent loose powder. Powder your lips to really get the color. At the end apply a second coat with a lip brush to smooth edges and get perfect lines.

How To: Hayley Williams Inspired Make-Up Tutorials

The lead singer of a legend band named - Paramore , Hayley Williams, is a real presenter of the girls alternative rock scene. I heard about Paramore years ago, but I didn't know any of they'r songs... So, one day I turned on the TV and heard the song "Monster". I've got interested and went to You-Tube and found a lot more songs. And today, I'm addicted to them. My favorite songs are:
-"Monster"
-"The Only Exception" 
-"Decode" .... and much more
So, in the honor of my favorite rock singer, who's hair is made of real fire ;), I will post a quick make up tutorial, because the only thing you need to do to get her hairstyle is to dye your hair into fire orange. But, if you want I can post a special tutorial for that kind of hairstyle.

Let's get started! This is a make-up tutorial from the "Misery Business" video. It's pretty and it goes with a colorful and happy outfit. Perfect for a sunny day and a walk through the city. Use a gold shadestick. But, be careful, this is not a everyday make up, if you wear it at day, you will look too flamboyant, and that's not very smart. Good luck! I really like it!

And the second make up video is inspired by the song " The Only Exception" and it's much more natural. And simpler. You will need some nude colors.
