Light waves and a fresh make-up in no time? No problem! An expert has the most important tips ready.
Stress in everyday life does not have to mean forgoing beautiful styling. With just a few simple steps, both stylish beach waves and radiantly fresh make-up can be achieved. Munich star hairdresser Cristoph Gambeck has practical and simple tips in an interview with spot on news, which can currently be seen in the second season of “Cut it – the VorHAIR NachHAIR Show” on sixx (always on Fridays at 8:15 p.m.).
Beach waves in no time
The so-called beach waves, light curls that many people create even after a day at the beach, provide a little momentum in their hair. How to quickly style these yourself? “Simply braid all your dry hair into four thick braids. Then slide the flat iron from bottom to top. Repeat this step two to three times. Normally you slide the flat iron from top to bottom, in this case you create with the reverse movement creates a loose beach wave,” explains Cristoph Gambeck.
Curling iron or flat iron?
Depending on how big or small the curls should be, you should either use a straightening iron or a curling iron. “A large curling iron should definitely be used for large curls. Straightening irons are perfect for looser looks such as modern beach waves, where you want a wavy, not too curly look,” says Gambeck. His expert tip: “Gladly with a straight tip, if the tip is too curly, the result often looks too old-fashioned.”
Eye-catcher in the hair
As far as hair accessories are concerned, the stylist recommends: “Less is more! This summer, however, hair bands and headscarves are very trendy.”
Fresh face in just three minutes
When it comes to make-up, Gambeck recommends blushes in pink tones, which would ensure a fresh look, “plus some highlighter for the cheeks”. You can also dab a little of this onto the movable eyelid.
Highlight the mouth
Speaking of lip care: “The perfect lipstick color is always chosen to match the lip color. With rather dark lips, the lipstick must not be too bluish. With rather light lips, almost any color and any effect is suitable – whether matt or shiny,” says Gambeck and adds: “Important: warm colors often make the teeth appear yellower. Tip: lipstick smashing – two to three different lipstick colors are applied and mixed together directly on the lips.”
