Valentine'S Day Grwm | Hair, Makeup, Outfit | Latoya Ebony Ad

The earliest Valentine's Day I can remember it, was in middle school.. I had a crush on a boy named Sean. {, LAUGH }. I remember carefully crafting my six word sentence on one of those little Valentine's Day cards you give out to a classroom full of people.. I carefully chose my outfit and did my hair, hoping he would notice.. I was so anxious and nervous handing the card over to him.. I still hold on to that feeling. When I get ready for special events., I set the mood.. I have my tea. Lights.. I need lights. There we go. I plan my makeup., Should I do a smoldering smokey eye light and fresh or meet somewhere in the middle Charlie's. My helper. Charlie's, my helper.. He lets me know if I've made the mark. { LAUGH }. Oh my gosh. I guess I could ... That. I like to begin with priming my face with a matte smoothing, primer. Filling in my eyebrows, to frame my face And priming my eyelids, so my eyeshadow lasts. [, MUSIC ] Next is Foundation.. I mix mine to create the perfect shade befitting of my ever changing hue., I add a peach corrector under my eyes and around my mouth for hyper pigmentation and dark circles.. I set my face with my favorite powder from Ben Nye and add bronzer in my crease. For warmth., Starting with my crease, I'm using a reddish, plum color from the Too Faced Bon Bons Palette And one of my favorite pale pink eyeshadows from a Marc Jacobs, palette. To frame the pink in the center. I'Ve used a taupe shade and smudged the taupe. Under my lower lash line for a smokey affect., I've used a matte black eyeshadow to smoke out the corners and opted for a winged liner. Look to give my eyes a feline effect.. I'Ve used Black eyeliner to line my waterline black mascara from Dior and my favorite'more subtle' Ardell faux lashes.. This is, when I add concealer to highlight and bronzer to contour.. I'Ve opted for a soft pink blush for a romantic feel.. I love adding a deep burgundy liner to frame my lips when I know I'm going to wear a pink lipstick. Blotting my lips takes off excess product and helps my lipstick last longer.. The last step is putting on a pale pink gloss and my face is complete. And now to style my hair .... What should I do? Clip-In extensions.? I was sent these kinky textured extensions from `` BetterLength.com''. One pack covers my whole head and I'm impressed of all the kinky textures they carry.. What else will you need Styling, cream., An oil. Gel., A tail comb., A soft brush And hair ties, and straight pins. Lets put my extensions to the side. So I can moisturize and part my hair., I'm making three vertical sections. One at the top middle and nape of my neck. [ MUSIC ]. I use the gel to smooth my edges. [ MUSIC ] then apply the Betterlength clip in extensions, creating rows of within each section. [ MUSIC ]. I like this method because it leaves the extensions undetectable. Should someone look at the base of my ponytail. WERK { LAUGH }. This is a lot of hair.. Then I make multiple medium sized twists in each section and begin pinning the hair up beginning at the nape of my neck.. This part is 100 % freestyle, as I use the straight pins to create the silhouette I see in my mind.. I knew I wanted the bulk of the hair at the front and top of my head, so I've pinned the twists up and back to create an intricate high textured bun.. I'Ve just cut my hair, so it's nice to have the versatility of the clip-ins to create the illusion of longer hair. I'll, leave the link to Betterlength's website a coupon code and my initial review when I straightened this hair in case you're in the market for clip. In hair, extensions. I’ve used these extensions for three months. I’ve washed styled and straightened, and the curls still bounce back. Definitely worth checking out., Leaving two twist down in front I've put on my satin scarf to lay down my edges.. This is my favorite part. Touching up and adding details like a necklace and a watch or fragrance.. I wore vanilla just like my mother.. Oh, What should it be? Little black dress, pale, pink trench, bold print, scarf., Perfect., [, MUSIC, ]. Now it's time to step outside and show my date what he's been waiting: for., [, MUSIC ]. I love the bold print o the scarf, but If you want a classier look just take it off and now you've got a lot of clean lines and solid colors.. [, MUSIC, ], Actually .... This is my favorite part. Happy Valentine's Day.
