I’m a massive Pinterest addict. I have boards for everything – beauty looks I love, style inspiration, meals to cook, fancy desserts to bake, what my future house will look like and even, ahem, some wedding inspo. No, I’m not engaged.
The problem? For all the pretty pictures I pin, I could count on one hand the number of times I’ve actually recreated them in real life.
So for a week, I set myself the challenge of doing my hair and makeup based on what popped up in my Pinterest feed.
RELATED: “I tried to make my own shampoo and nearly scrambled eggs in my hair
The rules:
1) I had to do whatever the first hair/beauty image that popped up.
2) I was allowed one veto.
3) They had to be different every day.
This is the result.
Day 1
I'm relieved to find my first look of the challenge to be a relatively achievable one. I love this look from Harper and Harley - the flawless #IWokeUpLikeThis hair and fresh pop of colour on the lips. I love orange as an exciting alternative to classic red, and surprisingly, it's a colour that's flattering to most skin tones.
This hairstyle is great if you're having a good hair day, and is all about naturally messy and tousled. Thanks to my curly hair, messy is no problem. The hardest part of this look? Trying to perfect the pout. Damn.
