How I use my NUME curling iron….

I always get asked about my hair, so here is exactly what I do to curl my hair.

1. Take a small section, about an inch in width.

2. Point the curling iron down and wrap your hair around the curling iron, make sure your wrapping your hair around going towards the back of your head.

3. Leave about 1-1.5 inches out, this will keep your hair from looking to perfect. I like my hair to look a little messy.

4. When your release your hair from the iron, immediatley pull your hair straight to get more of a natural loose curl.

5. Release the your hair after holding it straight for a couple seconds.

6. Comb your fingers through your curls.

Above is how the Nume wand looks, this is what I used to get this look.

Jewelry: Melody Ehsani Rolex earrings

Lashes: House of Lashes, in Feline

Brows: Anastasia Brow Genius

I hope you got something out of this.

Comment let me know what you want me to do next!! give me ideas!!

alanaBeauty Tips DIY Hair/MakeUp

Beauty Tip of the Day:

four of many things you can do with white eyeliner.

1. Use white liner as a guide to shape and shade your brows, Shape your brows anyway you want using white eyeliner. Tweeze all the unnecessary hair outside of the white eyeliner. Then you shade in your brows using anastasia brow genius. I love this product!!! You mix in a water proof product so your brows stay looking perfect ALL day!

2. Use white eyeliner as a highlight right below your brow, shade in the white pencil and blend it out using a short blending brush.

3. Use white eyeliner in your waterline to open up your eyes more. see the difference from the photo above?! I shaded a natural matte brown below my water line to clean up the look.

4. Use white eyeliner on the inner corner of your eye (the tear duct) to brighten up your eyes!!

And FINISH this look by using House of lashes Noir Fairy

Heart Always!

Candy Yum Yum

alanaBeauty Tips DIY Hair/MakeUp

You guys all know that I love my bright lips!!! My favorite right now is Candy Yum Yum from MAC. I can use the same lipstick but make it look like a complete different color just by changing the lip liner. Don’t get me wrong I love the color just on its own but if I need a little change I apply different shades of lip liner to change up the look.

The photo above shows exactly how it would look with the different shades of lip liner.

This lip color is Candy Yum Yum all by itself, no lip liner and only a dab of clear gloss.

Now this photo is Candy Yum Yum mixed with In Synch lip liner from MAC. I lined my lips with the liner and filled my lips in with Candy Yum Yum, then on top of the lipstick I colored in the center of my lip to highlight it. Then topped it off with a dab of clear gloss.

If you want a liner that is going to be as close to the color of Candy Yum Yum. I would use embrace me from MAC. I lined my lips slightly colored them in and filled in my lips with Candy Yum Yum. Then topped it off with clear lip gloss.

Now for my favorite color combination right now. Current Liner and Candy Yum Yum. First line you lips and slightly fill them in. Color the corners in leaving only the center with no color, then fill the center in with Candy Yum Yum, blend the colors together by pressing your lips together and top it off with a dab of clear lip gloss.

Colorful Lips and Love
