Halloween is only a few weeks away and even though I don’t think I’m attending any parties this year, it’s still a lot of fun browsing and watching all the tutorials and ideas for Halloween costumes. I just discovered Michelle Phan’s YouTube channel and I’m in love with her Halloween make-up tutorials! They’re whimsical, fun, and best of all gorgeous! Who says you have to look ghoulish for Halloween?
These two videos are my favorites:
Geisha Halloween Tutorial – here’s a very modern and chic interpretation of a Japanese Geisha
Barbie Transformation Tutorial – another great tutorial for an avant garde look, which you can definitely use for Halloween
My friend from highschool is getting married soon and of course, the rest of my friends and I want to get all glammed up for the event. Usually I just wear my hair down at formal events like this but I want to try something different this time. I searched the net for DIY hairstyle tutorials and sure enough, I found a lot that I can’t wait to try. Here’s a collection of tutorials I’m sure you’ll love as well.
Here’s a cute alternative to the good old ponytail. This tutorial is in Japanese but it’s pretty much straightforward and I’m sure you’ll be able to follow even if you don’t understand what she’s saying. [via binosusume channel]

If you’re more of a pigtails type, this more sophisticated approach might be for you. I like how you don’t have to tie the ends of you hair. I don’t know how long this style will hold up but it sure looks pretty. [via binosusume channel]

If I do wear my hair down, this ribbon would make a super cute accent. This style isn’t for the faint hearted but I love it! [via binosusume channel]

I’m not sure if my hair is long or thick enough to pull this off, but I love the look of this big bun. It’s worth a try, maybe I’ll just need to tease my hair a lot. If all else fails, I can always get hair extensions or something. [via binosusume channel]

Rocker chicks would love this fauxhawk style. It’s not my style but I’m sure it’ll look good on someone else. [via MissChievous channel]

This tutorial has been done over and over again but it’s pretty good techinique to change up your style. However, for this to work, you have to have the kind of layered hair that’s shorter at the top. [via fordmodels]

And last but not the least, here’s an Amy Winehouse inspired do. I would totally try this if I could get synthetic hair that matches my haircolor. [via fordmodels]
I’ve always been a klutz when it comes to applying eye makeup. Since my eyes are not deep set (meaning I don’t have a crease), I find it really hard to follow most tutorials on the web since these are mostly done on Caucasian models.
It’s a good thing I discovered Xteener on Youtube. She is an absolute godsend. She has tons of makeup tutorials, tips and reviews in her Youtube channel. We have similar looking eyes so I had no problem at all following her instructions. Check out my top 3 eye makeup tutorials from Xteener. These are all dramatic, smokey eye looks, so they’re not really for everyday use… unless you really want some attention! ;-)
I lost my boyfriend’s hat and to make it up to him I thought of making him a new one. Hopefully if I use the tutorial below as a guide (minus the ruching) the hat will turn out great! :-)
