Updo Hairstyles

Hi!

I got a peek at your blog and since I’m desperate, I decided to email. Anyway, my college graduation is coming up, this Sunday to be exact. I already have a dress and my problem is with the hair and makeup. Due to some school traditions, our graduation won’t be held in airconditioned places and it will be held only in our field. My problem is that with the weather these days, I’m afraid my hair and makeup will be completely ruined and melted once I get up on the stage and I’m one of the last to be called. Any tips and suggestions? I love the natural makeup look suggestion in one of your posts by the way so I’m opting for that one. Much love and thanks in advance.

Dear Areej,

So all in all, your concern is how to maintain your hair and make-up during the graduation rites, right? I’m gonna make this short for you. I’ve already answered an email about graduation hairstyle and just like what I’ve suggested, go with an up hairstyle but make sure you can still wear the cap. If you’re gonna be able to fix your hair neatly with spray or mousse, it will be in place even for long hours. Come up with styles like these:

For make-up, (though I’m uncertain which post you were referring to) I always advise simple and natural looking make-up that will blend with your true skin tone so the colors won’t look smeared when you perspire. The secret for fresh looking face all day is to use quality make-up. So test the brands you’ll use and practice your look. Mineral make-ups are better and skin-friendly. Avoid stick concealers and use liquid foundation as base make-up because sticks are more prone to melting.

Bring a small pouch in handy with oil film, face tissue and blush brush. When you do retouches, use a brush instead of a sponge for an even application of powder.

Just make your aura simple and tidy so you can easily maintain your look the whole day. Congratulations!

Love Lots,
