Selena Gomez Alter Ego Hair and Makeup Tutorial



From the first time I saw this video I was mesmerized by Selena's fun personality and sense of humor! Here I re-created her alter ego look after a quick run to the thrift store for a flannel button up and bandana (only costing me $5 total).

What I used need
Makeup
- Urban Decay primer potion
- MAC cork and soft brown eye shadow
- 3 pairs of Model 21 false lashes 
- Wet n Wild brow palette 
- Maybelline stiletto eye liner
- Maybelline falsies mascara
- MAC auburn lip liner
- NYX alabama matte lipstick
- NYX brown liner
- MAC wonder woman lipgloss
- Makeup Forever HD liquid foundation 138??
- MAC shadester contour powder
- Neutrogena natural glow blush


Hair:
- Hot rollers (you can use a curling iron)
- Bobbi pins
- Hair Tie
- Bandana





The hair was simple. I heated my hair with hot rollers. Don't know how? Here is a simple hair tutorial. After applying rollers, allow them to cool down for at least 15 minutes. Remove the rollers and start rolling about 4 sections of hair in the front, setting it in place with bobbi pins. Bring the rest of your hair up to a high ponytail. Wrap your ponytail into a loose bun (to allow volume) and pin in place. 

Once your hair and makeup is done, just accessorize with a button up flannel, hoop earrings, a bandana, and loose jeans!

- EMBRYOLISSE lait creme lotion

Eyes

I also did makeup on the bridesmaids and mother of the bride. I don't recall exactly what colors I used, but soft brown by MAC is a definite must have for bridal parties!








I had a blast with this wedding party. Everyone was so welcoming and sweet. I was so comfortable with the environment and it helped that Claire was far from bridezilla! Congratulations to the newly weds Ryan and Claire! Special thanks to © www.sorellaphotos.com for the beautiful shots :) If you're in the NW and looking for an awesome photographer, you can find her at www.sorellaphotos.com  or her facebook
