Bangs!!


I can't be the only person that's noticed celeb after celeb popping up with bangs. After my idol Mrs. Michelle Obama revealed her new look on her 49th birthday, I knew I HAD to make a post about it! There has been a lot of talk revolving around the first lady's new style. Personally, I LOVE it!



Mrs. Obama will always be a beautiful woman but I believe her new accessory not only makes her look more youthful, but edgier and stylish. So shout out to the FLOTUS's styling team because they knocked it out the park yet again. Here are some other celebs on the bangs bandwagon as well!

All of these women have their bangs styled a bit differently for the shape of their face and the look they are going for. So here are a few tips if you're looking to change up your style!
 
Round face: Have the bangs cut shorter in the middle it will add length to your face and make it appear more oval shaped.
 
Oval face: Lucky you! If you have an oval face you can pull off a variety of styles. I would go for one that is shorter in length and angled.
 
Heart face: Go for a blunt bang that will cover the forehead and falls just below the eyebrows, this look will soften a pointed chin
 
Long face: Having longer bangs will make the face appear shorter and a bit wider. How you choose to cut it will be up to if you're going for a trendier look or a soft, unforced look.
 

Me with bangs 2 years ago! xo

Beauty Faves of 2012

Beauty Faves of 2012

The items pictured above have been favorites of mine for the entire year of 2012. Whether it was spring, summer, fall or winter I have been reaching for these products. Many of these can be purchased at a drugstore so they won't hurt your pockets! Eyes: My everyday look is normally a smokey neutral eye with black eyeliner on my top waterline and voluminous lashes, this look is achieved with the products above. Lips: A tinted moisturizing lip balm under a sheen of lip gloss is my go to look for lips. I save lipstick for special occasions! Face: I put as little on my face as possible because I'm usually rushing! Normally I'll spot conceal any blemishes with my MAC Pro Longwear Concealer (not pictured), and then use MAC Mineralized Skin Finish, a light pink blush and a transparent pressed powder to keep my face matte for the day. Here's to 2013! xo.
