Preview of the brand new site

On Monday 19 of December 2011, the official site of Marie Claire (Hellas) went on air and  Dazzlin’ Gal from now on will be part of it. You can watch online, the first tutorial video on “How to wear headpieces” in just a few steps. The video is in greek but I guess it’s easy to understand what it’s all about. However, for those who have questions or it’s all greek to you, you can always send me your queries at dazzlingal13@yahoo.com

Dazzlin' Gal First Lesson: Accessories

Few words about this tutorial

Many girls frequently ask me how to wear headpieces, flowers, fascinators etc. in order to achieve a retro look. This tutorial shows you the easiest way to wear a headpiece with no requirement of heat, curlers or rollers. All you need is a comb, few bobby pins (that match your hair color) and some hair spray.

Dazzlin’ make-up through the years, the 1920s

December 4th

The 1920s

The roaring ’20s was a period of renewal and increasing consumer growth, during which new make-up trends for women flourished.

During the early twenties cream or ivory colored face powder was used by most women. Pale shades of foundation in light cream or ivory, gave way to more naturals hues, and when Coco Chanel appeared with a tan, the fashion for bronzed look was well and truly here to stay. Later in the middle of the twenties a powder corresponding to the nature hue of skin – perhaps a nuance brighter – came in fashion.

Eye make-up was heavy, sooty and dark, and kohl (the grandfather of eyeliner), was smudged around the eye. The eye lids were often brooding and dark, with combinations of medium and darker grey-through darker turquoise and green shades were also very popular.Very popular were thin, black and downward sloping eyebows which were inked with a black or brown eyeliner.

Rouge, as blush was commonly known in the ’20s, was rubbed into the “apple” of the cheeks to leave a visible circle in rose. For rouge the colors rose, raspberry, and around 1925 also orange were popular.

Bright red lipstick was a must have in the ’20s. It was applied in an exaggerated “cupids bow” (Armor’s Bow) shape just above the natural lip line on the upper lip and just below the lower lip line on the bottom lip, with a narrower than natural width that wouldn’t reach the corners of the mouth. From the middle of the twenties on lips were colored in deep red, deep brownish reds, plum and orange. The shades changed later at the end of the twenties. Colors like rose, raspberry and medium red were new trend.

Application step by step

Step 1 Find and apply a foundation in your skin tone that will give your complexion a creamy, perfect look. You may have to use an older variety, such as pancake, or a cream meant more for theater than for everyday use. To allow your skin to breathe, thin down cream foundation by moistening your sponge before dipping in the base. If your skin is naturally porcelain or alabaster-toned, play it up.

Step 2 Darken and turn your eyebrows slightly downwards with an eyebrow pencil or even eyeliner that is darker than your actual brow color. Thin eyebrows were fashionable in the 20s, so this step works most accurately if your brows are already on the thin side. If not, you don’t have to start tweezing away–you can cover your brows with a 1920s-style hat or with bangs chopped straight across as part of a bob cut.
Step 3 Smooth on your usual eye makeup primer before applying a dark eyeshadow from lash line to crease. Pick a gray-based shadow to keep your eyes on the sooty side, which is what you’re aiming for. Use a black kohl eyeliner on both top and bottom lash lines. Don’t scrimp–you want all the dark tones to meld together. Color top and bottom lashes with blackest black mascara. You want them dark so as to appear like you used paint to blacken them. You may want to use a waterproof formulation for all of your eye makeup to avoid unwanted smudging as much as possible.
Step 4 Find a cheek stain or cream blush with touches of red in it. You are going for a rouged look; if red is too strong for your coloring, raspberry or rose are alternatives. Rub blush into apples of cheeks. Blend away hard edges, but make sure the color is still evident, as though you just walked in from the cold.
Step 5 Apply pale pancake foundation over clean and exfoliated lips. With a waxy dark red lip liner, create a 1920s mouth by exaggerating the cupid’s bow on your top lip. Draw your lower lip as slightly plumper than it really is by extending slightly on the bottom. Draw both upper and bottom lips as shorter on the sides. Fill new lip shape in with pencil before layering matching lipstick over it.

Tips & Warnings

  • You may have to use an older variety of foundation, such as pancake, or a cream meant more for theater than for everyday use. To allow your skin to breathe, thin cream foundation by moistening your sponge before dipping it in the base.
  • Use a waterproof formulation for all your eye makeup to avoid smudging.
  • Educate yourself on the history of 1920s beauty. Find out more about actresses of the day, as well as Coco Chanel, the designer rumored to have started the more modern, boyish look for females.
  • If your eye makeup gets too sooty and there’s some smudging, clean up any messes with a cotton swab. Carry a few in your purse.

Dazzlin’ Tips and Tricks


December 1st

Only 24 days to go for Christmas! So everyday in this blog you can find tips & tricks for making the most dazzlin’ appearance. Stay tuned at the Christmas Special! 

How To Take Care of Your Hair, 10 steps to healthier hair: Beautiful, healthy hair just gives a woman that extra look of radiance, health and feminine beauty. Not to mention long, gorgeous hair helps a woman maintain a youthful look well in to her later years. It’s important to keep your hair healthy through your diet as well, but this article will be more about taking care of your hair itself.

Step 1: Get yourself a really good quality hair brush. Brush hair regularly to loosen dead skin cells and help brush out old hair styling creams/sprays. This also stimulates the scalp and helps to promote healthy hair growth.

Step 2: When you brush your hair, start brushing it from the ends first, and gradually move upwards with the comb or brush.

Step 3: Pay special attention to the ends of your hair. Once a week, massage hair and scalp with coconut oil, wrap in gladwrap or a showercap, and leave overnight. In the morning, rinse well with water, and shampoo and condition as normal.

Step 4: If you want to grow your hair long, regularly massage your scalp with the pads of your fingers in a slow, circular motion.

Step 5: Refrain from washing your hair every day – another surefire way to completely dry out your hair, and strip it of its natural oils. Wash hair with good-quality shampoo and conditioner chosen specifically for your hair type. 

A little trick: If the greasy look really bothers you – just get some baby powder, and put it on your hair, and brush it through! It absorbs the oils of your hair. You’ll be amazed at how well this little trick works and actually takes away the greasy look completely! If you have dark hair – the baby power will most likely show up when you use it. So the Toni and Guy spray-on products will be a great alternative to baby powder.

Step 6: When drying your hair, never, ever wrap the towel around the length of it and scrub, rub, or wring the hair!! No, no no! This can damage the hair shaft! Just take the towel, wrap it around your hair gently and pat-dry it. 

Step 7: If your hair is long, and if you are growing it longer, make sure you tie it back when you go to sleep at night, or even braid it. This helps to stop knots and tangles. You can even use a hair net or a silk hair cap when you sleep, to keep it all in place and to stop it from spreading all over the place.

Step 8: Avoid washing your hair in very hot water. Most people have outrageously hot showers, and wash their hair in the same extremely hot water. The excessive heat can cause damage to your hair.

Step 9: Prefer the use rollers to curl your hair instead of iron

Step 10: If you really have to use some heat (iron, heat curlers etc.) make sure you put on a reliable heat protection product.
