How I Styled My Summer Goddess Locs

Before summer disappears, let's talk summer hair!

Because I am so clearly obsessed with this new style I tried for summer, I got a little carried away when it came to styling it. There was just so much I could do with these goddess locs versus my regular hair. 

So, to celebrate this carefree summer version of myself, I did a little tutorial video of some of the easiest ways I've found to style them. If you have any questions about how I installed these (or about anything else), leave 'em below! 

summertime bright: coral lips

I have way more lipstick than should be allowed -- from retro reds to pastel pinks -- I have it all and I love them all. This summer I've been giving this look some extra love, though: a punchy coral lip with a simple face. It's fun, young and worth giving a try if you're bored with your blah lipglosses. Here's a step-by-step to how I get the party started with this bright lippie.

Here's what you need:

Concealer & Brush for outlining your lips

Neutral Eyeshadow & Primer for a solid wash of brightening color; I mixed Foxy & Booty Call from the Naked 2 palette

Coral Blush similar in shade to your lipstick, not an exact match

Mascara or Falsies you want your eyes defined without harsh eyeliner

Coral Lipstick mine is Sephora's Neon Rouge Samba

Bright Earrings just for fun, to play up the color of the lipstick

1. Start with a prepped face -- foundation, concealer, filled-in brows -- the whole bit.

2. Carefully line the outside of your lips with concealer and blend. It stops feathering & defines your lips.

3. Sweep eyeshadow a shade lighter than skin tone along your lids & thinly line them. Pile on the mascara for full definition.

4. Sweep a coral blush along your cheeks to give them a flush so the lipstick won't overpower your face.

5. Fill in your lips with the lipstick. Use a brush for more definition.
