Makeup Articles - Hair Accessories

These days every head-turning fashion is to knows the power of an eye-catching hair accessory. Thanks to the Johnnie Loves Rosie cult, everything from oversized flowers to feathers to sparkling butterfly clips to iridescent hair jewels will add instant glamour to your overall look. Whether you are wearing a bikini or an evening dress, you will not feel dressed without one.

For long hair: turn your hair upside down, roughly dry it and backcomb the underneath for volume. Pull your hair into a tight top knot. Then add a huge flower, either behind the ear secured with a grip, or into the band holding the pony tail. Real flowers look best, but there are bouquets of fake ones to choose from.

For short hair: using styling gel (wet-look works well), twist your hair into small peaks all over your head. Use a glittery hair slide right at the front in the centre of your forehead for instant effect.

For straight hair: part your hair neatly to one side, then attach jewelled kir by grips at s-cm (2-in) intervals down the length of your hair, on the opposite side to your parting.

For curly hair: scatter sparkling butterfly clips through your hair.

For any hair: try some of the marvellous glitter sprays and gels that greet you at every pharmacy and department store. They look wonderful applied around the hairline and down the sides of your hair, and complement the trend for sparkling make-up.

Up-and-coming : it does not matter what shape your face is - you can wear whatever style you like, as long as you wear it with confidence.’ And even if nature gave you poker-straight locks, you can always crimp it then strew it with dazzling jewels for an enchanted evening.
