Crazy for Bows
Published Jan 12, 2012
We love bows! From Lady Gaga-inspired hair bows to gift wrapped manis and eye makeup, there are plenty of ways to add this cute accessory to your makeup routine. We look to three Beauties for inspiration on how to include bows in your look.
On your hair...
Ever since Lady Gaga sported a hair bow on the red carpet, we've been crazy for them! Whether you try a holiday inspired version or create one for everyday wear, we're, well, gaga for the effect! If you haven't tried it yet, follow Evelina's simple steps to create your own fun hair accessory.
On your nails...
Why not make each fingertip a tiny gift by decorating your nails with bows? You can bling a bow tie with crystals on an accent nail or include them on each nail like Kirsten's whimsical manicure (below)—which she perfected with a tiny gemstone in the center of each knot!
On your eyes...
Bows can be incorporated into your makeup routine too! While it may be a little daring to embellish your lashes on an everyday basis, try looping your winged liner into a tiny bow at the outer corners or transform yourself into a present for a special occasion with a fun, colorful bow design. Recreate Karina’s red ribbon eye look by painting two crimson triangles—with the points facing each other—and adding dimension with liquid liner.
