Valentines Style Guide by Burton's Cosmetology Class

Just in time to help you get ready for a fun evening, Burton Center for Arts and Technology's cosmetology class has all the tips and tricks! 

Curling iron curls versus flat iron curls: If you are a one hot tool only kind of person, have no fear- you can use a flat iron to straighten or curl your hair! Bella's tips for curling with a flat iron are to clamp towards the root and then twist the iron as you go through the hair. Giving each strand a quick twist helps to keep that loose wave in place. When using the curling iron, she suggests curling outwards so the face is framed. The curling iron curls end up being more bouncy and typically last better throughout the day, so if you're doing your hair in the morning and wanting it to last all day, a curling iron is the way to go! 

Valentine's braided hair styleYou can have some fun by braiding two strands into a heart. The key to making this style a success would be using a comb and gel to ensure the part is even. 

On the makeup side of things, I learned that, yes, the smoky eye is still in! Ms. Coles suggests a more natural smoky eye but for a fun night, she admits you can't go wrong with glitter and pink! Likewise, the cat eye isn't just for Taylor Swift! For face makeup, highlighter and blush are a must! A way to elevate the blush look is to apply it more on the high points of the cheekbones. 

Again, you can't go wrong with pink or glitter, especially for Valentine's Day! Check out the video to learn more tips and tricks, and a big thank you to Burton's cosmetology class for sharing some of their insight!
