Before and After?

[get_atomized]

I made http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v48/Vainglory/?action=view&current=makeupuglatto.flv this video to show my friend how I do my makeup, it's not terribly vintage but it is a complete transformation!

(You'll probably want to mute it because I added a pertinent DEVO song since there was no sound. Personally if I were you I would turn it up!)

 

[Miss Bunny]

That video is way cool! Just amazing. :eusa_clap

 

[MaryDeluxe]

Hard to follow Miss Jess but . . .

It's good ole fashion brush rollers for me. Pretty basic set, I guess. I have a middy cut - never realized that there was an official name for it until I stumbled on the thread - with long layers.

I leave it all pretty bouncy. To which my mother (b.1941) continually reminds me that in the day, they never left it like this. hmmm . . . But it seems if I brush it out too much, I get the dreaded poodle hair and then it's flat the following day.

 

[PS]

Miss Jess, I enjoyed all of your pics, but this one just makes me swoon <3

Perhaps you could post a close-up of your eye make-up?..

Halloo PS! For the nude-ish lip color I simply used a Rimmel lip pencil that was as close to my natural lip color as possible, then went over it with a bit of very sheer blush-pink lipstick (a bit shiny) - really looks polished without being overdone. Then again, I'm so used to my red lips, that the nude lip look feels super subdued!

BoPeep! Gorgeous and adorable, well done

Here's a before and after of a different kind- when I went to a gig a couple of nights ago.

Before:

After:

My hair was WILD! I don't know how my friend's hair stayed so straight!!

I started this thread, it's about time I posted in it!

I just got a cut from a new gal, someone on my derby team, and took a bunch of photos from the Middy thread with me, and said I wanted something similar, but with longer layers that would look ok if I didn't set my hair. She knew what it was and ended up giving me a very layered sort of bob, angled toward my face with shorter layers on the sides. I wish I had pics from before the cut - it was past my shoulders, with very long, flat layers.

Here is after my first attempt at a set with the new cut. Set with pillow rollers, all curled straight under.

Eh, this side didn't look so great...

Check out that sweeeet pink and blue tile...

 

[Wire9Vintage]

That looks great, Kitty T! I'm thinking about that cut pretty seriously now...

And love the pink and blue tile, too! Cute!

Thanks! In those first photos, I had coaxed it under with a blow brush. With no styling though, it's still not bad - kindof choppy, lots of texture and movement, pretty modern looking. I don't like not being able to pull it up in a ponytail or back in a braid, but I'll get over it lol

And love the pink and blue tile, too! Cute!

Oh, you should see the tacky flamingos etched into the shower doors. It's amazing.

Ha, I have that same shade of pink in my bathroom and rather than the blue have a seafoam green and grey offsetting it.

Just wondering about how many of the rollers did you use? Your hair is prob about the same length of mine and I am in dire need to go buy new pillow rollers and not sure how many packages I should get.
Thanks

Pretty Faythe, I'm not sure how many rollers I used but I have 2 packs of the long skinny pillow rollers. The packs I have have a mixed number of longer ones and shorter ones, and I only use a few of the longer ones on the top where I need the extra length to loop them through each other - so the 2nd packet will come in handy if you like to just use the shorter rollers like I do.
