THank you!
actually i might have used the same blush in all of the pics. i think.
but i know for sure in the 1st pic i used MAC's plumfoolery blush.

thanks!!
unfortunately i cut my hair awhile ago and so now its sorta in a mullet and im growin that out as well. its more like the 1st pic now.
but for the 2nd and 3rd pic, i just did my hair as if i were makin a pomp. parted the hair on the side, took one triangle section and held it back as if i were to make a pigtail, then pushed it forward and pinned it back.
and for the last pic, i just spiral curled everything toward the face w/a 1" curling iron, sprayed it, then finger combed all of it to get it looking softer.

hope that was of help!

I'm late to the punch, but I did this look today and it kind of fits. I wish I had some better pictures of it.

You look great. Has anyone ever told you that you slightly resemble Sara Rue?

 

[mskitchmas]

^ thank you! what a great compliment!

 

[theboysrepublic]

I hope you do take it as a compliment! I think she's absolutely gorgeous...probably one of my favorite tv actresses, to be honest.

This is my retro look and below is a retro look I did on my friend Becca

 

[Windunder]

Hah, long time lurker so this is actually my first post... I did a retro inspired look a while ago to go to work one day, so I thought I'd post it here.

And this one I didn't set out to do a retro look, but I thought it ended up that way :

Sorry if they're too big...
