]]> https://makeuptutorials.com/how-to-do-ombre-lip-2/ Mon, 31 Mar 2025 20:14:11 +0000 http://makeuptutorials.com/?p=1048 The ombre lip trend is still pretty popular, and you don’t have to be a makeup guru to do this. It’s actually easier than you might think, all you need are two complementary lipsticks and a lip pencil!

Follow the steps below to try out this cool style!

How To Do An Ombre Lip

Step 1.

Moisturize the lip – apply petroleum jelly or lip balm.

Step 2.

Apply a light medium face powder all over the lip to cancel any redness or pigments.

Step 3.

Outline the lips with a lip liner (of your choice).  Take your time and keep the lines as even as possible.

Step 4.

Press your lips together and blend the lip liner – just keep on shading.

 Step 5.

Apply a matte lip cream on the areas without a shade and then press the lips together (lightly).  Then re-apply the matte lip cream to create a blend of two shades.

Step 6.

Outline the lips again to correct any uneven areas when the lip cream was applied. And dab the middle of lips to blend the two shades.

Step 7.

(Optional) Outline the sides with concealer to clean the area.

25 Unbelievable Special Effects Makeup Tutorials

Halloween is still a couple of months away, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy your Friday by checking out these crazy special effects makeup transformations! Have fun today and pass some time with these crazy special effects makeup tutorials that are so real even Tom Savini and Dick Smith would have a hard time separating reality from fiction.

1. Wooden Doll

|

If you loved Groot from the “Guardians of the Galaxy,” but feel his look is a little too tame, then this terrifying wooden doll look is the special effects makeup transformation just for you.

2. Glittery Gills

3. Serpentine Killer

Ugh, this makeup transformation gives us the chills just looking at it.

4. Enchanted Mermaid

Forget Ariel! This is what a real mermaid looks like.

5. The Innocent Doll

|

Now we both know that whenever dolls look like this, “innocent” is the last word you’d use to describe them. Horror movies love to capitalize on the whole “I look like a cute doll, but all I really want to do is cut you in your sleep” look and it never fails to scare us.

6. Frozen Diva

If Tina Turner was an Ice Queen, this is probably what she would look like. Beware her nails! They’ll freeze you in your place!

7. Rainbow Shock

Rainbow Brite gets an adult makeover (and we’re not talking about sexy Rainbow Brite costumes) with this colorful look.

8. Pinocchia

This Pinocchio-inspired look is both creepy and magical at the same time. But still a little more creepy, than magical.

9. Forest Fairy

|

We’ll be the first to admit, we never expected forest fairies to look like this. And we kinda wish they didn’t.

10. Painting Comes to Life

Fan of impressionist art? Then this look is perfect for you! Just look at the dreamy hues and pointillist brush strokes!

11. Modern Skeleton

Being a skeleton for Halloween just got a whole lot chic-er. This is an awesome, fun minimalist skeleton look that we love.

12. The Bearded Fellow

DUDE! How awesome is this look? Beards and Van Gogh? Be still, our beating hearts.

13. Toy Soldier

|

How about a look that won’t scare your pants off? This special effects makeup tutorial will transform you into a cute little toy soldier. Adorbz!

14. The Lizard Effect

Now, we generally wouldn’t use the word “beautiful” when describing a lizard, but this look is actually really beautiful when you look closely. Just check out that detail and colors!

15. Not-So-Trusty Butler

Okay, we’re sleeping with one eye open tonight. And there goes all those years of therapy. So, yeah, the scare factor definitely makes this the best Halloween makeup ever.

16. Sexy Siren

Take the mermaid look to the next level with this enchanting, ethereal and scaly special effects makeup tutorial. And those contact lenses? Uh, awesome!

17. Grumpy Cat

|

We heard a crazy story that Grumpy Cat made $100 million last year. So, maybe wearing this look will bring you the same financial fortune? (One can only hope.)

18. Pop Art Zombie

Looking for a unique zombie face for Halloween? Then you’ve stumbled to the right place. This pop art zombie look is so awesome, even Roy Lichtenstein would weep a single tear of appreciative joy.

19. Galaxy Peek

Our yoga instructor was right! We really are one with the Universe! Namaste.

20. Comic Dude

The Comic Dude look is yet another great idea for dudes (and dudettes) who want to undergo a special effects makeup transformation. Wear this to Comic Con and be your own favorite superhero!

21. Doctor Who Black Light

|

This girl is obviously a fan of the TV show “Doctor Who.” She described this look by saying, “My face started splitting open and another universe was trying to get through. Thankfully the Doctor came and saved me. Barely even a scar now!” From one fan to another, this idea is pure genius!

22. Unleash the Tigress

Take a walk on the wild side with this rawr-ing makeup tutorial. (Too corny? There’s no such thing!)

23. Frozen

Wondering what you’d look like after a trip to Antarctica? Well, here you go.

24. Broken Doll

|

We don’t know about you, but porcelain dolls give us the creeps! Even more so when their face is broken to pieces, yet they somehow never tear their gaze away from you. Hello, nightmares!

25. The Vampire

Still think vampires are sexy? Seduce your way into getting blood by being a sexy vamp.

13 Out of This World Galaxy Makeup Ideas

Be inspired by these creative galaxy makeup ideas

Makeup isn’t just to enhance someone’s natural beauty, in fact, the theories behind it are used in painting and visual arts as well so it’s almost hard to find an excuse not to get creative. Straight out of Instagram, check out the newest trend in creative makeup, here are thirteen galaxy makeup ideas:

Galaxy Makeup Idea 1:

|

This simple and artsy take on the galaxy makeup look uses a mix of red, blue, and white. Dot it with white stars and keep playful.

Galaxy Makeup Idea 2:

[instagram url=https://www.instagram.com/p/BHRyeS-j8R3/?tagged=galaxymakeup hidecaption=true width=625]

Adding false lashes to the look also gives it more detail just like what Jillfelixmakeup did here. Highlight the higher planes of the face and this galaxy makeup look will work like a charm on anyone.

Galaxy Makeup Idea 3:

[instagram url=https://www.instagram.com/p/BHsnI95AJ2x/ hidecaption=true width=625]

This galaxy makeup by Ivykungu is a wonderful example of the use of color theory on women of color. Her strategic placement and the use of purple lips really put this look together.

Galaxy Makeup Idea 4:

[instagram url=https://www.instagram.com/p/BHirNoFgv2b/?taken-by=openmindfreesoul hidecaption=true width=625]

This creation by openmindfreesoul works really well because of the contrast and the highly saturated pigments of the makeup art. Taking details and putting it in careful precision on the face with a high shimmer lip takes this look to the next level.

Galaxy Makeup Idea 5:

[instagram url=https://www.instagram.com/p/BG5jdZCBQqF/?tagged=galaxymakeup hidecaption=true width=625]

What.a.fluke’s galaxy makeup look was placed strategically on her face’s shadowy planes that beautifully show off her bone structure.

Galaxy Makeup Idea 6:

[instagram url=https://www.instagram.com/p/BGwnMN5DoNQ/ hidecaption=true width=625]

Extending the star-freckled makeup look to your decolletage and shoulders makes this look more like a sculptural art piece, especially including the brows and lashes.

Galaxy Makeup Idea 7:

[instagram url=https://www.instagram.com/p/BFgycsksJIV/ hidecaption=true width=625]

Twistinbangs used purple color on her hair to create a monochrome theme that brings together the whole look, the bluish hue also creates a beautiful contrast to the reds and the pinks on the makeup art.

Galaxy Makeup Idea 8:

[instagram url=https://www.instagram.com/p/BB-b3sDHZri/?tagged=galaxymakeup hidecaption=true width=625]

Taking the sparkles and putting on the lip balances this look wonderfully, making it simple yet high impact queenofluna opt to use the darker colors in the spectrum of purples and pinks.

Galaxy Makeup Idea 9:

|

Simple, clean, and elegant. Another idea you can take from lottierobertsmakeupartist, she brought edginess to this look with a pop of purple contact lenses.

Galaxy Makeup Idea 10:

[instagram url=https://www.instagram.com/p/BFCE5w4P_ea/ hidecaption=true width=625]

How about we move to the outer edges of the galaxy, a truly other-worldly take on galaxy makeup, this piece by Sara_strange_art make me feel like we are not alone.

Galaxy Makeup Idea 11:

[instagram url=https://www.instagram.com/p/BHzRYhJDejw/ hidecaption=true width=625]

Another idea is to merge the galaxy makeup look with another look just like what abuiac_mua did.  A clown-inspired, galaxy makeup look, quite ingenious.

Galaxy Makeup Idea 12:

[instagram url=https://www.instagram.com/p/BH-X70DgTWv/ hidecaption=true width=625]

I have to say, this look by Celinemakeupartist has a special place in my heart. It almost feels like I am looking at the center of a black hole: dark, cosmic, and beautiful.

Galaxy Makeup Idea 13:

[instagram url=https://www.instagram.com/p/BCWhMLRzhIE/?taken-by=missjazminad&hl=en hidecaption=true width=625]

This  idea of a  lip art by missJazminaD allows you to play with the galaxy makeup look in full details on such little space.

How to Create Your Own Makeup Storage System

Creating your own makeup storage system is all about making your daily routine easier and more enjoyable. With a little planning, you can turn your space into a tidy, stylish, and functional area that works for you. Whether your collection is big or small, the right storage solutions will help you keep everything organized and within easy reach. It’s time to take control of your beauty space and make it work for you!

Assess Your Collection

Review your makeup products. Then, lay them out and group them into categories like lipsticks, eyeshadows, foundations, and brushes. This way, you get a clear overview and can easily spot duplicates or expired items to toss.

Pro Tip: Use this opportunity to clean your makeup and tools. Wipe down containers and wash your brushes for a fresh start.

Invest in Quality Storage Solutions

Next, consider investing in good storage solutions, as they are key to maintaining an organized makeup collection.

• Clear Acrylic Organizers: These are perfect for keeping makeup visible and easy to grab. They also come in various sizes and shapes to fit your space.
• Drawer Dividers: If you store makeup in drawers, dividers are essential. They keep different products separate and prevent them from mixing up, thereby making it easier to find what you need.
• Magnetic Boards: Lastly, attach small magnets to the back of your makeup and display them on a magnetic board. This not only saves space but also adds a stylish touch to your beauty area.

Organize by Category

Once you have your storage solutions in place, organize your makeup by category. To start, group similar items together, such as all lipsticks in one section and all eyeshadows in another. As a result, you can easily find what you need.

Pro Tip: Within each category, arrange your products by color or how often you use them. For example, place everyday makeup at the front and special occasion items toward the back.

Utilize Vertical Space

Moreover, when organizing your makeup, remember to use vertical space. To help you store more without crowding your counter, you can use shelves, wall-mounted organizers, and tiered trays. In fact, these options are lifesavers in small spaces where every inch counts.

Pro Tip: Place a lazy Susan on your vanity or inside a cabinet. This spinning organizer makes it easy to grab what you need without knocking anything over.

Maintain a Clean and Tidy Space

Keeping your makeup area tidy is key to staying organized. Make sure to put everything back in its place after using it. Regularly wipe down surfaces and clean your brushes to help keep things fresh and free from bacteria.

Pro Tip: Set a reminder to declutter your makeup collection every few months. This helps avoid a product pile-up and ensures you only keep what you love and use.

Creative Makeup Storage Ideas

Give your makeup storage a fun twist with these simple ideas:

Pretty Jars and Containers

Use cute jars to hold brushes, cotton swabs, and other small items. They help keep things tidy while adding a bit of charm to your vanity.

Reuse Household Items

Use everyday things like ice cube trays, muffin tins, and spice racks to help organize your makeup. These low-cost tricks give your space a unique touch.

Vintage Treasures

Store makeup in old trays, dishes, or jewelry boxes. These pieces add a touch of character and elegance to your beauty area.

Travel-Friendly Organization

If you’re always traveling, it’s essential to have a simple way to organize your makeup. In addition, a makeup bag with compartments can help keep everything secure and tidy during your travels.

Pro Tip: Keep a set of travel-sized products in your makeup bag. This will save you time packing and ensure you always have your essentials ready to go.

Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Tips

When organizing your makeup, think about the environment. Therefore, choose options that are kind to the planet and be mindful of what you buy.

Recycle and Reuse: Use materials that can be recycled for storage, or repurpose items you already have.

Choose Sustainable Brands: Look for makeup brands that care about sustainability and use eco-friendly packaging.

Declutter and Shine

To sum it up, an organized makeup collection can make your beauty routine easier and more enjoyable. When everything has its place, getting ready becomes faster and more fun. So try out these storage ideas and eco-friendly options to make your beauty area feel more personal. With these simple tips, you’ll soon have a clutter-free and stylish makeup setup. Start organizing today and see the difference it makes!

The Ultimate Guide to Making Instagram Makeup Trends Wearable

From contouring your face to contouring your lips–these beauty trends originated on Instagram and became (almost) as famous as Kim Kardashian. But, as we all know, not every makeup trend on Instagram is wearable in real life. Case in point: electric brows. You know, when you color your eyebrows in with bright hues; where and when could you possible wear that?

Today we’re taking the biggest Instagram makeup trends and turning them into everyday wearable looks, so if you want to upgrade your selfie game from #behindthescreen to #reallife, keep scrolling.

[instagram url=//makeuptutorials.com/instagram-inspired-makeup-tutorial/ hidecaption=true width=625]

Contouring

We’re all guilty of having tried this trend as soon as we saw Kim Kardashian out in public with chiseled cheekbones and a killer jawline. Needing hardly anything but the right bronzer, this technique is the #pro way to make your face look slimmer. To contour, you can use either cream or powder formula to draw line or dots on your face (cheekbones, perimeter of the face, bridge of your nose) and blend it all using a beauty blender or buffing brush. Say hello to a chiseled AF facial structure.

For a more detailed guide on how to contour, click here

Baking

You can thank the drag queen community for this! Baking is when you use a translucent powder to set heavy concealer on the under eye area and “cut” the contour. It’s also called “cooking,” but that sounds like we’re on a cooking show and my empty stomach can’t handle that right now. This technique requires that you use a copious amount of setting powder,like the RCMA – No Color Powder, and apply it on your skin with a damp beauty blender. Let it sit for several minutes and if your face begins to feel like cement’s hardening on it, you’re doing it right! Then use a powder brush to clean off the excess and blend.
For more on how to bake your makeup, check out our guide here.

Strobing

A new name for an old technique. This trend has the same objective as contouring, except that instead of creating shadows, you’re drawing light on the high points of your face, especially the cheekbones. Swipe highlighter stick, powder, of your favorite formula onto your cheekbones, down the bridge of your nose, and cupid’s bow to get that glow. Just not too much because you don’t want to look like a walking disco ball, do you?

Instagram Brows

This is another trend that can be credited to the drag queen community. Also known as “HD Brow” or “The Fade,” this trend isn’t your average brow routine. It’s bold, well-defined, and for those outside of the makeup community, a bit harsh, but a beauty girl’s gotta do what a beauty girl’s gotta do so we love this trend all the same. To achieve the #EyebrowsOnFleek look, use a brow gel or pomade like the famous Anastasia Beverly Hills – Dipbrow Pomade and a slim eyebrow brush, like Anastasia Beverly Hills – Duo Brush in #12.

|

Halo Eyes

Halo Eyes is a popular look with beauty bloggers and editors alike (myself included!). What makes this Instagram trend so popular is its versatility. Regardless of whether you’re going for a natural, no-makeup look or a bold smokey eye, there is no going wrong (or looking bad, for that matter) with halo eyes. To do halo eyes, apply a dark shade of eyeshadow onto the outer and inner part of your eyes; connect the shadow to the crease using a blending brush (making sure to avoid the center part of the lid); then, take a shimmery or metallic eyeshadow and tap it on the center of your lids.

|

Dramatic Lashes

Not wearing long, fluffy lashes is like not icing a cake–boring! It’s a good thing Huda Beauty Lashes and Lilly Lashes have the power to take your eyelashes from basic to bombshell. Carefully put the falsies as close to the lash line as possible with a good eyelash glue to add drama to your eye look.

|

Over-Lined Lips

Thanks to Kylie (who later admitted to having lip fillers), everyone and their mother wants fuller-looking lips. If you’re blessed with naturally pouty lips, you won’t have to experience the struggling of over-lining, but if your lips aren’t naturally pouty, look for a lip contour pencil and read this walk-through on how to achieve fuller lips.

|

Ombre/Lip Contouring

Ombre lips have been reincarnated this year thanks, in part, to lip contouring. This technique requires a lot of products and precision that, if done correctly, can give your lips dimension. Ombre lips can be done by using a dark shade of lip color of the outer part of your lips, then a lighter shade on the center.

Best Hair & Makeup Looks from the Cannes Film Festival 2016

Ah, Cannes… It’s the ultimate party of the year with a week of photo-calls, dinners, screenings, and parties taking place on the Mediterranean coast of one of the world’s most beautiful countries, France. Cannes has not only become synonymous for great cinema, it’s become known as the event to catch a glimpse of celebrities at their best-dressed.

This year was no different. As hoards of celebrities flocked to the breezy coast, thousands of paparazzi followed them to snap photos of their couture dresses and tuxedos, and, expertly-crafted hair and makeup. And, because we love fangirl-ing over new beauty trends, we just had to round up stand-out looks for our readers.

Below are looks that transcended the boundaries of red carpet makeup, took on a life of their own, or accentuated the personality of the celeb who wore them. These are looks we’d love to try, but even more importantly, love looking at.

Enjoy!

1. Blake Lively

Blake Lively’s look screams spring with healthy, bronze skin and flushed pink lips. Feeling as if we haven’t seen her on the red carpet since forever, it’s refreshing to know Mrs. Reynolds style game is as on point as ever.

2. Soko

|

We loved Soko’s Victorian era-inspired look. The minimal base with taupe makeup works well on her fair skin and dark bob. Overall, it was a beautiful look for Cannes.

3. Susan Sarandon

After all of these years, Susan Sarandon has still got it. While this icon always dazzles on the red carpet, we had to put her on this list for those stylin’ glasses alone. We’re not sure what the backstory is on them or whether Miss Sarandon was trying to hide blue eyeshadow, but whatever the reason, we are digging it.

4. Caitriona Balfe

Don’t underestimate the power of a pink lip, ladies. Caitriona proved that theory as fact with her minimalist look whose primary feature was a bold pink lip. What we also love about Caitriona’s look is her side-swept French braid. This is definitely the look to recreate for spring.

5. Kirsten Dunst

I’m a huge Kirsten Dunst fan. And I’m not a fan because of her style or beauty choices (which are always on point and uniquely Kirsten), I’m a fan of her acting. I loved her in Virgin Suicides and Melancholia and god, I just wish she was in more! Anyway, I digress… Kirsten Dunst killed it at this year’s festival with a retro yellow dress and classic red lip. This goes to show that red and yellow are always a good color combination.

6. Kristen Stewart

|

Going platinum-blonde was one of the best stylistic choices Kristen Stewart has ever made. The bold on-trend color accentuates her individual style and attitude. At this year’s film fest, Kristen rocked a classic grunge duo: platinum-blonde hair and kohl smokey eyes. The look is very Saint Laurent and we love it.

7. Jessica Chastain

Whoa, Jessica Chastain was channeling some serious Jessica Rabbit vibes with her Old Hollywood waves and vibrant red lip. We love the contrast between her red lip and blue dress — it’s a stunning combination on her skin tone.

8. Melanie Thierry

Melanie Thierry defied red carpet fashion with her uber-minimal (we don’t even think she wore makeup) Cannes look. She somehow managed to make #IWokeUpLikeThis look #RedCarpetReady with her messy top knot and bare skin.

9. Lily Donaldson

While this look is a bit too dark for our liking (it’s spring!), I can’t ever resist a good dark lip and what Lily Donaldson wore on the red carpet is a good dark lip. The look would have been perfect for fall or for an event that’s not on the French-Mediterranean shore in the outdoors with natural, bright light. Know what we’re sayin’?

10. Tanya Dyagileva

|

Artist Tanya Dyagileva brought the smolder, didn’t she? Where most actresses, aside from Eva Longoria, stuck to natural, no-makeup looks, Tanya said, “Eff it!” and went for a dark smokey eye, mauve lip and killer side braids. We love the drama this entire look, when pulled together, brings.

11. Aymeline Valade

French model Aymeline Valade channeled some serious Marlene Dietrich vibes in her androgynous, powerful Cannes Film Festival look. She kept her hair and makeup simple, but paired a dazzling women’s tuxedo with drop earrings. The contrast between the structure of the tuxedo and the femininity of the earrings is brilliant. This was one of our favorite looks of the festival.

Undercut Designs | How Cool Girls Wear Undercuts

1. Understated Undercut Designs

Keep your undercut subtle, barely there, but still with maximum effect.

Fade it out or draw a fine line, the edginess will still come through. This is a great stepping stone for beauties that want to experiment with edgier and cooler hairstyles, but are hesitant to go under the shaver. Just shave off as far as the ear line, then work your way up from there – if you’re daring enough.

2. Red Hot Undercut

Redheads can have fun too!

Add a dash of radiance to your locks with shampoo for specifically for redheads. They’ll bring out the vibrant tones in your tresses and make your undercut designs even hotter.

3. Bleach Beauty

Having two tones in your hair is a great way to show off the contrast between an edgy haircut design and a classic style. Maintain your dark locks in your undercut, then bleach your locks.

Curling it will likewise add a bit of femininity and a cool girl vibe.

4. Slick Back

Pull your hair back for a strong and bold undercut design.

Not a fan of the wet hair look most gels give you? Apply mousse on damp, towel-dried hair and run your hands through your hair, sweeping it back lightly to give it some volume. Once your hair dries, the mousse will maintain its hold throughout the day, keeping your hair back without leaving a trace of slickness.

If you like the wet hair look, look for a gel with a strong hold and a high shine. This look could be cool and modern, but still business casual.

5. Two-Tone Undercut Designs

Extra adventurous with your locks? A two-tone hair color that screams fun paired with a rad undercut that reveals a cool personality makes for a great crown.

I love how the long, blue, layered tresses contrast with the brightly colored undercut. Add tinges of green and magenta for gorgeous mermaid hair.

6. Electric Undercut Designs

This undercut design is another great one for beginners that need a do that will go from bold to business casual in under a minute.

Rock a short bob parted in the middle and allow your undercut to peak by putting your hair behind your ear. Time for that video conference call? Simply untuck your hair and straighten out your hair.

Upgrade your undercut bob by coloring your undercut with a bright electric color to contrast with cool, jet black hair.

7. Stacked

Undercutting both sides of your head making you look flat?

Combat that by trimming your hair into a stacked pixie or short, stacked bob. A stacked haircut has many layers that will create both volume and dimension to your locks. Other ways to add dimension are highlights and lowlights. Take your pick.

Undercut designs could just be another detail you add to your locks rather than the centerpiece. How you wear your crown depends 100% on your preferences, queen.

8. Cool Curls

An undercut can also be a fierce way to control tightly coiled or 3C curly hair.

Kick off your curly girl reboot journey by chopping off your locks. The slit at the side is to add a dose of attitude in case someone mistakes you for a nice girl. But if you really are a sweetheart, keep your curly hair longer in a short bob or lob.

Don’t forget to use curl definition cream on your hair on your wash days. It will keep your curls curly and keep them from frizzing and drying out.

9. Pretty in Pastel

Keep it pretty neat with a pretty pink pastel hair color. Pastel hues can help soften your looks if you find your undercut design was done a bit too tough.

I swear by using a good mousse on damp hair to keep your hair neat, but never flat. If you want to add a bit of volume to your hair, apply heat protection spray and a mousse on damp hair. Blow dry your hair with a large roller brush section by section then finish off with a lightweight hair spray.

10. Long Undercut Designs

Love your long hair? Since an undercut design takes only up only a section of your hair (of your choosing), you can still maintain your long locks.

A chic detail to add to your undercut is to push back your hairline and allow it to fade down the sides. This look goes excellent with a fierce pair of cat eyes and a deep, natural lip color.

11. Platinum Pixie

Growing out your pixie? This look is great for beauties transitioning to a short bob, but want to avoid the awkward growing out stage. Think of this as the last station to your bob journey.

Give the ultra-short look one last ride before you take off, adding undercut designs to the sides of your head but keeping your crown long.

Keep your crown layered or stacked to add much-needed volume. This way, you’ll also get to chop off the pesky split ends so you get to grow a healthy head of hair.

12. Very Violet

I love electric shades of color as they add an edge that isn’t as intimidating as your typical dark-colored hues. And a warm tone like this lovely lavender shade is just the perfect shade for someone looking for something bold, yet feminine. And the undercut design just blends in and plays well to the modern concept.

Keep the undercut to a minimum if this is your first time. If you have post-salon regrets, you won’t have to worry since this hairstyle will grow to an ethereal pixie cut in no time at all.

If you colored your hair this shade, remember to use purple shampoo regularly. Follow the instructions on the bottle to make the most of your unicorn hair.

13. Bob With Undercut Designs

So you went from long locks to a bold bob, but didn’t quite achieve the edgy effect you were going for? A subtle undercut design ought to do the trick.

I love the cool platinum shade that so well sets the tone for the makeup and the OOTD. With a look like this, you won’t have to work so hard to style the rest of your look.

This hair color will look amazing on babes with skins with cooler undertones. However, this might wash out some beauties with warmer undertones and leave you looking a bit sickly.

14. Medium Bob With Undercut Designs

Company director by day, but rocker chic at night?

Mask your undercut underneath voluminous layers. Also keep the section of the undercut at a minimum, shaving off just below the temple until the tip of your ears. This way, even though you tuck your hair behind your ears, the look will still be understated.

This is just the right amount of edge for those that work a 9 to 5, then a 12-3 later that night.

15. Power Do

On second thought, why hide a chic undercut? Your undercut could work to upgrade your office suit to a power suit.

Toss the larger section all the way to the side to show off your edge. You can fade out the hair behind your undercut or chop it off short to create a mohawk-like effect.

16. Braided Crown

Frame your undercut like you would a beautiful piece of art with neatly done French braids just above your undercut. This look offers such an ethereal feel, great for beauties that want an undercut but want to maintain a soft, pretty girl vibe.

It’s also perfect for babes that are striving for a boho chic look. The braids provide the boho, the undercut designs provide the chic.

17. X-Shaped Undercut Designs

If you tie your hair frequently, add another layer of edge with an undercut design. You can also shave your undercut in a diamond shape to give it a more unique feel. This type of look might require some regular maintenance. But the beauty of an undercut is that it grows long enough quite quickly, so you can keep experimenting with different designs and silhouettes.

18. Starry Undercut Designs

Inspired by the stars or simply reaching for them? Allow them to design your undercut to create an ornate aesthetic to an already elaborate hairstyle.

Make sure to do a consultation with a proper barber before taking a plunge. Ask your friends for recommendations to make sure you find the barber that is best suited to meet your expectations.

19. Full Braids

This look is great for beauties with natural hair, just giving you layer after layer of style and aesthetics.

Braided hair is already such a stunning look, and even more so when style it into a half pony. Adding an undercut design to a smaller section of your head gives it a completely new look – it’s so fresh and so it.

11. Explore With Placement

[instagram url=https://www.instagram.com/p/CBr01_GFfYC/ hidecaption=true width=600]

Let’s loop back to where we said that we can play with placement, because I mean you can place it anywhere. For beauties enjoying long press on nails, put studs on both sides of your nails. Press on nails are more durable, longer nails tend to be brittle and may not carry the weight of both polish and stone.

12. Get Galactic
