Danielle Tufano, the Executive Director of the Downtown Naperville Alliance, is on location at Amber Waves in this Around Downtown. Danielle is joined by Amber Waves Stylists Alaina and Gabby, to get tips on how to look good in 5 minutes flat.
Five-Minute Hair
Tips to create a beachy wave look:
- Prep hair with dry shampoo for texture and get rid of oily roots.
- Spray hair with a heat shield to protect it from damage caused by thermal heat styling.
- Curl hair going away from the face in large sections.
- Do not curl the root and keep the ends out.
- Do not curl a section too long as you want the curls to remain soft.
- Wait till the hair is fully cooled to brush or run your fingers through the curls-this will make the style last longer!
- Spray hair with a texturizer and hairspray.
- Once fully cooled, lightly comb or run your fingers through the curls for a natural beachy look.
Five-Minute Makeup
Tips to create a cool summer eye:
- Using your eyeshadow brush, apply a warm creamy matte brown eyeshadow over the lid and blend up into the eyebrow.
- In the inner lid, use a light shimmery eyeshadow shade to lighten things up.
- Instead of runny cream or liquid products, use a precise eyeshadow brush to apply a darker eyeshadow on the lashline and blend to create a smoky eye.
