MONDAY’S MAKEUP

Posted on: August 7th, 2012 by intricidsalon 7 Comments

 

As a hair salon, we usually focus our energy on hair. However, makeup is such a huge part of our industry for brides, special events, and photo shoots. Let it be known that we DO offer makeup services at INTRICID (appointment only)!

We have officially committed Monday’s to inspirational makeup posts. Read on for some killer makeup tips!

A makeup look that we LOVE and has been ever so popular since the 1950s is the Cat Eye. This “winged eyeliner” look is essential for a modern approach to makeup. It’s great to explore vintage looks for makeup inspiration. Vintage styles will always be recycled. Luckily, we live in an innovative timeframe and have the ability to take vintage styles and add creative/unique twists to them.

Vintage makeup

Creative Cat Eye/winged eyeliner variations

Vintage styles generally paired the Cat Eye with red lips, whereas, modern day styles pair all sorts of lip shades. This gives the vintage inspired look a creative uniqueness. Choosing your own lip shade also allows individuality which we highly encourage! If you’re opting for an authentic vintage look, here’s a red lip guide to follow:

Redspiration!

Be bold and unique!

Here’s a few of our favorite inspired looks:

NASTY GAL

Classic

Comtemporary

Vintage

That last photo brings up an entirely new approach to the Cat Eye! If you’re really wanting to show off some creative and individuality, try colored liner instead of classic black, check it out:

How adorable is this monochromatic palette of pink?? If this is too bold, opt for natural lip shade and keep the “wing” very subtle like so..

So, how does one master a “winged eyeliner” effect? Here’s a video how-to from one of our favorite bloggers Gloss + Dirts post, Look 72% More Sexual in like Two Minutes. Watch and master!

Have any questions? Did you try one of these looks?

All the best,

It’s been a long carefree summer, but let’s face it, we need to get our boyfriends and husbands ready to show off for going back to school! We believe everyone should have a style icon, so here’s a few inspirational guys to follow based on whatever style your man wants to be! (Or whatever style YOU want him to be!)

STYLE:

CONTEMPORARY- David Beckham

CREATIVE- Ashton Kutcher

 

VINTAGE-  The Beatles

 

CLASSIC- George Clooney

 

COOL- Johnny Depp

HAIR:

To achieve these sexy hair looks for men, we recommend ARROJO Texture Paste:

And ARROJO Hair Gel:

SKIN:

Men usually don’t think beyond shaving for skincare, but the fact is, skin care is just as essential for men as it is for women. Check out this great article on Livestrong.com to entice your man to look his best by teaching him why skin care is so important: Men’s Skin Care

There are many great skin care lines designed just for men. They help reduce the “girliness” of using a skin care line! Check them out!

Joe Grooming

Kiehl’s

Menaji

Also ladies, check the skin care line you’re using, some companies are incorporating a men’s line. This would make it easier for purchase as you could simply pick it up for him while you’re out getting your own!
