Bobby Pins and Bronzer

Happy Monday!  

Often while out sporting one of Leah's updos, we get asked who and where did we get our hair done. This weekend Charlotte had a side bun, and was asked how the bobby pins were so well hidden. We begged Leah to explain and actually realized it is way easier than we thought! So here you go:





How it should not look

How to hide those tricky bobby pins:

We love the invention of the bobby pins and use them almost everyday. Leah has a preference and loves the ones from Dollarama. They are cheap, durable and stay in your hair. The more expensive ones (in our experience) tend to slip and break.  

A great updo is one where those handy bobby pins are tucked in, out of the way and hidden from sight. 

What not to do: Many times girls (Charlotte and I included!) just pin and stick where we think the hair should go. While this look works, the sloppy bobby pins take away from the updo and look messy. 

What to do: 

Step 1: Pick the right bobby pin for your hair colour. Open the bobby pin and hold it upwards. 

Step 2: With your left hand, hold the desired hair in place. Take the bobby pin, and vertically tuck it in the hair.  

Vertically is key, as when the bobby pin is on an angle, it hides easily under the hair. 

Again how it should not look!
















Whoo that bobby pin is out of sight!

Voila! Have fun!

Bronzer How to:

Winter for us means dry, flaky, pale skin. So after moisturising like crazy we love to use a little bronzer to add that healthy glow.









Our favourite makeup is Physicians Formula. It is organic and is gentle on sensitive skin. We find it doesn't clog pores and the makeup lasts all day. It is a bit pricey, but Shopper's Drugmart sometimes has it on sale.

What I didn't apply my bronzer right??

What not to do: Don’t apply it on your whole face (as shown above!) as it should only be a highlighter. Too much bronzer and you tend to look like a burnt orange.

What we like to do:

Step 1: After applying your cover up and foundation, take your bronzer brush and load it up. If you have bangs pin them back.

Step 2: Starting at your forehead, apply the bronzer along the hairline, and down the side of your face, in a C formation.

Before without bronzer and blush

Step 3: If you would like to enhance your cheekbones, dust a bit of bronzer at the end of your eyebrow down in a mini C. 

Step 4: Add blush and finish the rest of your make up! 

After! Check out those sun kissed cheeks!

Voila! Do you have a hair or make up question? If so let us know! We would love to help.
