The Looks:

Brooke Shields as Emmaline - 'The Blue Lagoon'

Capture the iconic natural beauty of Brooke Shields in 'The Blue Lagoon' with long, tousled flowing beach waves and a fresh-faced no-makeup makeup look. Embrace the island vibe with a tan, minimal sun-kissed makeup, and a touch of sea salt spray to enhance natural sea-swept texture. Dive into the full makeup and hair tutorial inspired by Brooke on my channel, my most viewed tutorial! And for a nostalgic throwback, check out my very first attempt at creating this iconic style here. 🌴 ✨

Margot Robbie as Barbie - 'The Barbie Movie'

Embrace the fun and fabulous look of Margot Robbie's 'The Barbie Movie' with voluminous curls paired with a multicoloured visor. Add wearable pink makeup, a matching bold outfit to embrace barbiecore. Barbie's perfectly styled hair has tones of extensions in the film, so you might need some clip-ins to get the volume down. Manifest your Barbie Dream house life with this step-by-step tutorial on achieving Margot's Barbie glam, along with wearable summer hairstyles for a beach Barbie here.

Lilly Collins as Emily - 'Emily In Paris'

Channel the chic & quirky style of Lily Collins in 'Emily In Paris' with soft waves paired with a beret, or a sleek bun for summer events. Instead of no-makeup makeup, maybe classic red lips are your vibe for a hint of Parisian flair. Euro-girl summer with an eclectic touch screams 'Emily In Paris,' and I can't wait for the next season! Explore my tutorial on getting Emily's Parisian chic look, perfect for any summer outing… especially if you are visiting France 🇫🇷!

Flora - 'Winx Club'

Transform into the magical Flora from Winx Club with whimsical outfits, flowing hair, and ethereal makeup. Embrace floral accessories, pastel hues, and long brunette hair with a money piece—a pop of blonde through the bangs to frame the face. This detail is what makes Flora's character pop! Dive into my tutorial for a fun, enchanting look that will make you feel like you're part of the Winx Club. (This was a private video for a while, but it's back if you missed it!)

Phoebe Tonkin as Cleo - 'H2O: Just Add Water'

Ever wanted to channel your inner H2O mermaid without needing the tail? The Y2K hairstyles from the show were simple, yet fun—and a personal favorite episode and hairstyle was when Cleo was a bridesmaid. Her first hairstyle really captured a 2000s beachy vibe and was very nostalgic to recreate with two braids, a bun, and floral pins. Dive into the full makeup and hair tutorial series inspired by Cleo on my channel!

Madison Bailey as Kiara from 'Outer Banks'

Capture the adventurous and carefree style of Madison Bailey's Kiara from 'Outer Banks' with her messy bun and thick headband for a laid-back vibe. I covered several more effortless styles from her character, with natural waves, braids, and a touch of bronzer for that summer glow.
