Beauty 101: Simply Fresh Faced

Nina Dobrev

A fresh face is always perfect for an everyday look. Nina Dobrev knows exactly how to enhance her features with a swirl of a mascara wand and the swipe of gloss. All you need to create a fresh faced look is a light foundation or BB cream, mascara, eyeliner, lip gloss, and blush. Keep on reading to find out how to create your own fresh faced look.

1. Always begin with a clean, moisturized face and apply a BB cream that will give light coverage, moisture, and sun protection. 
2.  Dust a light rosy blush, or your preferred color, to the apples of your cheeks to add color and glow to your face. 
3. Take an eyeliner and line starting at the edge of your upper lash line. A thin or thick line depends on your eye shape and whether you want your eyes to look bigger or smaller. 
4. Apply 2-3 coats of mascara to make your lashes and eyes pop!
5. To add a little oomph to the look add a bit of sparkly flesh tone eye shadow in the inner corner of your eyes and fill in your brows for definition. 
6. Pull your hair back into a sleek ponytail or bun to show off your fresh face look.

DIY Nails: Simply Fall, Simply Plaid

It's not winter just yet so I am still rocking fall themed nails. I've noticed the popular nail polish trend of nudes, browns, and other dark shades so I had to try out for this week's mani. However, I can never stick to simple nail polish so I decided to try out a very simple plaid design accented with cheetah print on my ring finger nail. All I used to create this nail look is Schnapps Out Of It by O.P.I., a brown nail polish, a black nail striper, red nail polish, and a nail art brush.

1. Begin with clean nails and coat them with a clear base coat.
2. Add 1-2 coats of Schnapps Out Of It by O.P.I, or any other bright brown color to your nails.
3. Take your second brown nail polish and stripe one line vertically or horizontally across each nail. Skip your ring finger if you want the accent nail!
4. Take your black nail striper and create one vertical line next to the brown stripe as well as one stripe horizontally across the nail.
5. Dip your nail brush into some red nail polish and add a red stripe horizontally or vertically across each nail.
6. Create a cheetah print design on your ring finger by making jagged C-shapes with your black nail striper brush.
7. Let your nails dry, then add a clear top coat on top of your nails.

This look is totally appropriate for the season! Plus you can switch up the stripe and color patterns to make the nail look all your own. Let me know in the comments below if you try out the nail look!

Get The Look: Simple Glam

Selena Gomez

Simple looks with hints of sparkle and glamour are always showstopping! Selena Gomez is mixing beachy waves with minimal make-up and glitzy earrings. All you need to recreate this look is a curling iron, pink lipgloss, black liner,  mascara or false lashes, and big earrings.

1. Begin with a clean face and apply concealer and foundation as needed.
2. Line your waterline with black liner as well as a medium-thick line on your lash line.
3. Apply long, thick false lashes to add major definition and impact to your eyes.
4. Coat your lips with a pink lipgloss. You can even mix it up with a nude or red lip color!

As for the hair have your brush, comb, curling iron, and hairspray in hand. These waves will work and look best on medium to long hair. Remember to have clips to seperate your hair while your curling!

1. Begin by seperating your hair into sections so all of your hair gets curled.
2. Start from the back and wrap your hair around the curling iron and hold for 3-5 seconds. Do not brush or comb your curls until your entire head is finished.
3. When you get to the top of your head, straighten the hair until the tip of your ear then curl the remaining length of the hair.
4. Finger comb through the curls to create looser waves and brush the top of the hair for the complete Selena Gomez look.
5. Spray the hair with hairspray so the curls will last all day.

Get The Look: Sofia Vergara

Look #1

Look #2

Sofia Vergara definitely shows a love of colorful scarves and a super cute bright yellow bag. Sofia is not only showcasing a great fashion tip of dressing up a white but her outfit is a perfect look to recreate. In Look #1 Sofia wears a sheer,loose white tank top that contrasts with dark wash skinny jeans. I love that she cuffed the jeans to show off her fabulous pumps and threw on a colorful scarf that matches her bracelets. The yellow bag is a perfect pop of color and big enough to hold any nessecary items. Look #2 has to be my favorite because Sofia took a basic white tee an paired it with gorgeous wide leg jeans which may even be considered casual trouser pants. Once again Sofia added a bright scarf and her neon yellow bag. She added more accessories like a long statement necklace, chuncky bracelets, and a cocktail ring. Sofia Vergara is definitely rocking a simple look and making it fabulous and chic!
