How can a girl resist when there are pinks + purples involved?? Twist the hair as you chalk. Try doing 2 colors on one strand! The best part about chalking is styling it. The colors we used for this post were: Tags: DIY, hair chalk, hair chalking, hair color, hairchalk, how to, kristin ess, kristin ess hair, kristin ess hair chalk, temporary hair color, the beauty department, thebeautydepartment.com, tutorial Related posts:

Backstage Beauty: Phillip Lim’s Makeup Artists Explain How to Achieve the Show’s Strong Eyes -- The Cut Photographer Blake Hamilton continues to take backstage beauty portraits for us, and this time he presents Phillip Lim's fall 2012 collection. Lead NARS cosmetics makeup artist, Francelle Daly, explains that the show's beauty look was "really inspired by Phillip’s palette, and I wanted to have a boldness, an edginess." She continues, "I wanted to add a lot of impact and drama." Hence why the show's focus skews heavily on the eyes, while the remainder of the face is kept minimal with just a bit of foundation and highlighting on the cheekbones. Skin "The skin is clean and glowy, just a little bit of a highlighter on the cheekbones. Eyes"For this look it’s all about eyes, so definitely start with the eyes, because that’s where you spend most of your time. Another thing that’s more runway: We did red tears that are sort of coming out from the tear ducts. Brows"Eyebrows were left natural but brushed up to have sort of an unruly, superhero type of effect."
