Nina Back To School

📝 Special Statement

Preparing for a glamorous school party is the ultimate mission! You're the head stylist tasked with giving Nina a stunning makeover that will make her the star of the night. This involves transforming her look from head to toe, focusing on the three pillars of party glamour: The Outfit, The Makeup, and The Hair.

Phase 1: The Vision & The Outfit

First, you need a central vision. Is the party theme classic elegance, modern edgy, or playful chic? Let's go with Modern Glamour—a look that's sophisticated, trendy, and commands attention.

Outfit Options

Help Nina choose an outfit that perfectly captures the vision:

• Option 1: Metallic Power Dress: A sleek, knee-length dress in a deep sapphire blue or emerald green with subtle metallic threading.
  • Vibe: Confident, Luxurious.
  • Key Accessory: A delicate silver chain belt and a small, structured clutch bag.
• Option 2: Tuxedo Jumpsuit: A structured, black jumpsuit with a satin lapel and a cinched waist.
  • Vibe: Edgy, Sophisticated.
  • Key Accessory: Oversized geometric earrings and pointed black heels.
• Option 3: Sequined Crop Top & Tulle Skirt: A shimmering silver or gold crop top paired with a voluminous, layered black or deep crimson tulle skirt.
  • Vibe: Fun, High-Fashion.
  • Key Accessory: Stacked rings and sparkling stilettos.

Decision: Nina chooses the Metallic Power Dress (Sapphire Blue).

Phase 2: The Face & The Glam Makeup

The makeup needs to be bold enough for the evening lights but flawless up close. The focus will be on a dramatic eye and a sophisticated lip to complement the blue dress.

The Steps

1. Flawless Base: Use a mattifying primer, followed by a full-coverage, long-wear foundation. Apply a subtle contour and a rosy nude blush, then use a light, shimmery highlighter on the cheekbones, brow bones, and cupid's bow for a glowing, illuminated finish.
2. The Dramatic Eye:
   • Prime the lids to prevent creasing.
   • Use a smoky sapphire blue or charcoal gray eyeshadow, blending it into the crease and outer corner.
   • Apply a touch of bright silver shimmer to the inner corner to open the eye.
   • Finish with a sharp, black cat-eye liquid liner and two coats of voluminous black mascara, or add a pair of wispy false lashes for maximum drama.
3. The Statement Lip: To balance the dramatic eye, choose a sophisticated color. Use a deep berry or plum liquid lipstick that won't smudge.

Phase 3: The Mane & The Finishing Touches

The hairstyle should be glamorous, secure for dancing, and show off the metallic detail of the dress.

Hairstyle: Hollywood Waves

This style is timeless, elegant, and perfectly frames the face:

1. Apply a heat protectant spray and a volume mousse.
2. Use a large-barrel curling iron to create deep, classic waves, pinning each curl to cool and set.
3. Once cool, brush the curls out gently with a wide-tooth comb to merge them into smooth, Old Hollywood Waves.
4. Sweep one side of the hair back and secure it behind the ear with a decorative crystal clip to showcase the dramatic eyeliner.
5. Finish with a high-hold, flexible hairspray.

Nina's Final Look

With the final look complete, Nina embodies Modern Glamour:

• Outfit: Sapphire Blue Metallic Power Dress.
• Makeup: Razor-sharp Cat-Eye, Illuminated Complexion, and a Deep Berry Lip.
• Hair: Smooth, Polished Hollywood Waves, secured with a dazzling crystal pin.
