“Music to me is so internal. It’s physical and it’s emotional. Whereas fashion is so much about the external that it’s almost like a break. It’s not inner turmoil. It’s total escapism.”
-Florence Welch

Sleek, low ponytails are an easy and trendy hairstyle to look great during the summer heat. Attain the super slick back look with the help of a pomade or edge control product. Nevertheless, ponytails can also do a number on your strands if you do not take proper precautions? How can you protect your hair while sporting this hair trend?
When tying your hair back their are two things you can do to help prevent or minimize the possibility of breakage:
1. Always use elastics that are covered with cotton or silk materials. Elastics made from rubber, plastic or metals can snap hair.

Moreover, in the beauty department makeup was kept rather clean and simple with the focus mainly on the eyes. Lashes were curled and exaggerated thanks to Stila Mile High Lashes Mascara. Peepers also received a slight pop of color via eyeliner, the Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in Emerald. A bit of bronzer was used over foundation to make skin glow and then the look was completed with a peach lip stain.

Yes, the lighter beauty colors normally made available during the spring and summer seasons can be fun to play with, however, that does not mean you must leave out darker shades from your makeup looks.

During the Atelier Versace runway show model’s cat-eye makeup included liner being drawn along the crease.
