♪ Makeup & hair for hats

I love hats! I have an obsession with accessories such as hats, scarfs, belts etc, I actually took these pics days ago, I was planning to do a video tutorial but since it hasn't been done yet, I thought I would post this on blogger first :)

Makeup for hats should focus on:

  • under eye concealer
  • bottom eye makeup
Hats tend to cast shadow to darken your black circle so concealer is a key (however I hate to wear loads of concealer so you can still see some darkness under my eyes); and for the same reason we need to add more impact on our bottom eye line. I prefer using shimmer liner or wet a shadow to do my bottom liner instead of harsh black liner or liquid liner because it is for day time after all :) and don't forget to do bottom lashes~





Eye products

  • Guerlain shadow Touche de Bronze N.280
  • Guerlain Divinora eye pencil (shimmer) Bronze Noir N.7
  • Clinique high impact mascara

Hair for hats should be styled after wearing the hat, you need to make extra volume with the hair thats showing to balance the top visually; your hair easily looks flat with a hat so don't think hats are only to save the bad hair days! You still need to style them~!
I usually use hot rollers after wearing the hat, and of course hair sprays to set and add volume.

Army style hat: I loved this hat in winter & fall, but Toronto somehow got reeeeally cold last week :<


This spring/summer's hot item: Boater hat



An OOTD with boater hat :D


What I'm wearing:

  • LDS boater hat
  • H&M border shirt
  • Urban Outfitter ripped jeans
  • Vintage belt
  • Lowry's Farm wedge shoes with ankle strap

  7. So many new posts!
    Now I want to have long hair after watching the video, but my hair is opposite to yours, too much volume is also a problem, especially when it's long.
    You seems losing weight!
    Miss you~ haha

  8. your boater hat outfit is sooo adorable! and thanks for the tip!! i think my eyes get washed out because I don't focus on lining the bottom of my eyes when i wear a hat... but what I dislike the most is that my nose completely disappears under a hat cuz of my non-existent bridge :p any tips on making it more prominent?! (no plastic surgery please =P)

  9. thanks guys!:DDD
    superwoolu: i think you are right sometimes hats can flatten your nose somehow, but so far i don't find it too big a problem, however i think lightly contouring your nose would help to define it under the hat. I don't normally do this step but check out this awesome blogger's tutorial cuz she contours her nose in some of her videos she's really good at it! :D
    you probably know her already :)
