What to Do With Your Hair and Makeup When Your Dress Has a Sexy Back
When your dress reveals a dramatic swath of skin in the back, you gotta be strategic with the hair and makeup, to avoid turning heads in a bad way. Example: Nikki Reed at the Tribeca Film Festival this weekend. Everything about her look is perfect.
Let’s take notes:
-
Her hair is flatironed sleek, which complements the clean lines of the dress—but even more important, it’s shiny, probably thanks to a silicone spray or serum. When all eyes are on your sexy, smooth back, the hair that brushes across it better be the same!
-
Her side part encourages her hair to stay swept in front of one shoulder, leaving her back uncovered most of the time. An open-back-dress occasion is the ideal time to try a more asymmetrical hairstyle like this.
-
Her makeup strikes the perfect note for a sexy dress: nothing too bright or too smoky but enough definition on the eyes that they hold their own, and just the right amount of flirty shine on the lips.
What do you think of Nikki Reed’s hair and makeup here? Love the look as much as I do?
