The two biggest contributing factors to the ease and speed of my messy bun are 1. Having a little bend/curl in my hair to start and 2. Having texture spray and hairspray in my hair as well! It’s very difficult to achieve a volumized, textured bun with flat, clean, straight hair. So instead of spending time trying to mess with it after you pull it up, spend more time adding volume and texture to your hair BEFORE you pull it up!

How to Apply Set Concealer. Always apply concealer *after* foundation, and use the warmth of your fingers to blend the concealer in for the most natural looking finish. Setting concealer helps keep it from creasing, prevents any mascara or eye makeup from smudging onto your under eye area, and also takes away the "tacky" feeling that concealer can leave behind. Products/tools: Charlotte Tilbury Magic Away Concealer in shade 3, Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder for Under Eye, Sephora Crease

Do not underestimate the power of texture powder in order to give your hair the full, messy finish you are going for with this look. Texture powder adds bulk, grit, and a chalk-like texture to the hair in order to keep it from going limp or being too slippery to work with! One of my personal favorite powders is Virtue Lifting Powder! | The Small Things Blog

Hair routine lately // the idea is the focus the bends around the bottom half of the hair for a soft and voluminous finish. I used a shampoo that I did *not* like at all before this tutorial, so my ends look much drier than usual 😔 | The Small Things Blog

I’ve been trying to scale back a bit from what I consider my “typical” daily beauty look by going for undone hair and lighter eye makeup than usual. It’s funny how automatically routines can become the new standard for yourself, but I like the challenge to scale it back and get used to a lighter, softer, slightly more natural look.

Remember when I did the blow dry brush comparison video last year? I recall saying “if @t3micro makes a brow dry brush with an oval attachment, it would be perfection.” And look at THIS! They made one! I take full responsibility for this idea…and by “full” I mean “zero” because they did not ask me but I am very impressed with this new tool! I got my hands on it early and have been keeping it a secret until it launched today! https://liketk.it/4i1ys | The Small Things Blog

3 things to focus on when filling in your brows // I follow the “KISS” method ( keep it simple, stupid) and only use one product. I don’t want to spend more than about 30 seconds per brow, so adding definition with a tiny pencil to the front, emphasizing the arch, and adding thickness to the end is all I do! | The Small Things Blog

Cream eyeshadow should be simple! 1️⃣apply directly to your lid and then blend out with a flat brush 2️⃣ if your lids are oily, try using an eyeshadow primer 3️⃣ you can use your finger, but you may be adding oils to your eyelid by doing that 👀 and making it splotchy 4️⃣ if one cream shadow stick doesn’t work for you, try another brand! I find Laura Mercier to blend super easily, then Bobbi Brown, then Tarte, and finally L’Oréal. Links: https://liketk.it/5c6xS | The Small Things Blog
