Cosmetic Queens

Make up can vary from being used as a form of expression or an enhancement of beauty.

Celebrities are well known for their makeup styles, which can influence a new trend like the well known “Winged Eyeliner” commonly seen on Marilyn Monroe. Many young girls are influenced by well known celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner.

This look is perfect for an evening out because
of the dramatic bold lashes.

Kim Kardashian is known for her heavy contouring and highlighting routine done by her makeup artist, Joyce Bonelli. Youtubers like ‘MakeupByEvon’ and ‘GlamBooth’ upload tutorials on Youtube, in which they teach the public how to achieve the ‘Kim Kardashian Makeup Routine’.

Kim Kardashian is also known for other makeup styles like, ‘The Barely There- Fresh-Faced thing’. Usually Kim’s makeup is very dramatic as she always has an evening out but when Kim goes for something soft, the results are equally as striking. The key is a thin layer of a really great foundation. Kim’s pick: Makeup For ever HD Invisible Cover Foundation.

Another celebrity known for makeup is Kim Kardashian’s little sister, Kylie Jenner who is known for her full luscious lips.

“I look up to Kylie for makeup styles because she always looks great. The fact that she is around our age makes her more relatable, her make up styles are very influential on our generation,”  junior, Josabeth Vinas said.

Kylie Jenner’s lips have been the subject of much debate lately. No one can tell if the seventeen year old has received surgical work done for her pout or if she achieves the look with makeup.

The steps to achieve this look without a surgical procedure are pretty simple. First, create a blank canvas by using a concealer pencil to trace over the lips and lip line. After, build up the lip shape. Using a rosy-nude toned lip liner, begin outlining just outside the natural lip line. Follow the lips' natural peaks but take the line just above. Using the same lip liner, fill in the entire lip. After that, use a rosy-mauve matte lip color, to fill in the lips. Using a rosy-nude toned lip liner, begin outlining just outside the natural lip line. Follow the lips' natural peaks but take the line just above. Blot the lips and all finished.

Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner are just two celebrities who are well known for their beautiful make up styles that are very influential on societies idea of beauty.

Bun Fun

Putting your hair into a bun is a perfect way to get your hair out of your face while looking cute. A bun is a really fast and easy updo to do when you’re running late to school or work. It is simply so easy, and looks good without looking like you put too much time into it.

There are many different types of buns like a donut/sock bun and a top knot . However, the sock bun is a perfect bun that doesn’t look too messy compared to other buns. A sock bun is a hairstyle that would still be appropriate for more formal events as well as casual outings.

Celebrities like Rihanna, Jessica Alba, Miley Cyrus, and Taylor Swift have been rocking buns, and you can too.

To recreate this look you will need: a brush/comb and a hair tie. A teasing comb, bobby pins, and hairspray is optional.

-Gather your hair and tie it in a ponytail in the location that us desires. (It can be a high bun, low bun, whatever floats your boat) For extra volume, tease the hair in the ponytail.

Top knot bun: Twist the ponytail and wrap it around in a circle.

Donut/ Sock bun:

Material: Sock/ donut bun

-Insert the donut into the ponytail.

-Wrap the ends of the ponytail around the donut and stick your thumb from underneath and through the top of the bun.

-Push your thumbs up into the donut and continue rotating the donut into your head.

-Style and bobby pin any flyaways if necessary.
