5 Ways to Update Makeup For a Pixie CutHow to make up your face so you don't get mistaken for a guy |
Celebrities are embracing super-short hair: from Anne Hathaway to Rihanna, many a star has recently rocked a pixie cut (even if only for a day or two).
When Poppy King (left), makeup guru and founder of Lipstick Queen, recently decided to chop her signature retro bob into a pixie, it changed her look completely. "I'm glad you still think I'm a girl!" she joked when I called her to talk about the best makeup for women with pixie cuts.
"I think we'll see more and more pixies -- it's the antithesis of the reality TV look," she said. "You don't have to look like a blowup doll to be sexy." Well, that's a relief.
But to pull off the look -- and avoid looking like a dude -- you do have to change your makeup. And getting the right look can be tricky. After much trial and error, King created a few quick rules to follow when you have very short hair. "It's about being flirty and cheeky," she says. "If it's too glamorous, it just competes." Here's how to achieve a flirtatious and fun pixie-friendly style.
