Hey beauties ! Today's look is inspired by Ashley Benson, I just recent cut 5inches off my hair and thought hey now I can really do a get the look post based on Ashely Benson style, hair and makeup. Ashley is known for using dark smoldering colors to emphasize here blue eyes. Colors like black, golden shades, red/rust/orange colors will make blue eyes pop because red and blue are opposite on the color wheel. But as you can see, this particular look will work on all eyes colors because the contrast between a rust/orange color and black bring out different tones in the eyes. For example I have hazel green eyes, the black makes my eyes look amber and the rust/orangey tones bring out the golden tones in the green parts of my eyes, thus making my eyes pop. The same will happen with brown eyes, the rust will help brighten the amber tones in brown eyes.

Hair
Using the Cortex 4 in 1 curling wand take 1 to 2in sections of hair and start curling, alternating each piece. I wanted a texturized look to my curls to match Ashley's so I first sprayed White sands stuck up hair spray, this hair spray is great to use when curling hair because its made to work with heat. I divided my hair into sections sprayed the section, then started curling 1 to 2inch sections of the hair. Continue this process until you reach the top of your head. For the crown area you want body and volume so spray your white sands stuck up hair spray hold section up, under the hair, wait until it's dry and curl over the wand instead of under to creat volume. Once on the bangs you wanted to curl over the wand as well making sure the hair is curling away from the face. Once all the curls are done and the hair has cooled off a bit spray some more hairspray and finger comb the hair to give it bounce and texture.
Clothes
Ashley has a pretty laid back look in the picture I took inspiration from so I picked out a pair of patterned Victoria Secret yoga tights, a loose fitting graphic tank and added a pair of heels to top off the look.
I hope you all like and get inspired❤
