Camilla Belle continues to flourish; has awesome hair

Wed, 15 December 2010 9:59AM

Every new outing for Camilla Belle seems to outsmash the last, Primpers, giving me plenty of ammunition to burble about as I sit here and question whether her latest accomplishment would suit me. And you, of course.

Here’s the look I’m talking about nice and early so we can all share that magical moment of contemplation together…

And the side…

This look reminds me of a hairstyle I used to favour in about year 10. At the time, it was pure beauty gold, but in retrospect, like most things, it was bordering more on heinous. You might know it actually, I used to tightly twist small sections of hair into little knobs and then secure them with bobby pins all over my head. Hilariously bad, Primpers.

But for all the badness of my style, this hair of Camilla’s makes up for tenfold. It’s quirky and kitch but still really pretty. Yep, I love it. Don’t you?

In fact, I love it so much I’m going to figure out how to do it. Here’s what I’m thinking, Primpers.

1. Apply some volumizing mousse into your roots and blowdry for texture and height.

2. Now, part your hair in a deep centre part and sweep back. Position the front section of hair so it sweeps across your forehead and then start twisting the back section into said knobs of years gone past. Leave a little bit of hair out of each knob to get that messy finish at the back, before securing with bobby pins and spraying with a good hairspray.

3. If you find the top of your hair is tight and neat, simply grab the end of a tail comb and ‘lift’ pieces of hair up so that it’s bubbled and messy on top. Winner, you’re done.

As usual, a special mention of awesomeness needs to go out to Camilla’s makeup. It’s its usual perfectly luminous self and quite frankly, I’m a little bit jel. Oh, and don’t even get me started on those brows.

Tell me Primpers…

What do you think of Camilla’s hair here?

Do you like her makeup, too?

What about that knobby style I talked about, do you remember it?

    I adore this Camilla’s hair! I’m giving this one a go for sure. Her makeup is a look I try to achieve for my day makeup – not quite at this level of awesomeness though!!

    And you know, I also used to do that knobby hairstyle – except instead of bobby pins I used those sparkly butterfly clips in all different colours. Ha ha, I’d completely forgotten about that!

    Umm, just reread my previous comment. Please excuse my shocking grammar in the first line. It’s meant to read “I adore Camilla’s hair” – without the ‘this’ stuck in the middle.

    Need another coffee I think! :) Is it possible to edit your comments???

    I don’t love the back of the hair. but her make up is divine.

  • Posted by: tegania11 Master Fan // Wed, 15 December 2010 08:58am

    i desperately love her skin! I wish I could get my skin to look like that! amazeballs! the make-up is lovely too!

    nadia, I did the same thing! Nobby bits and butterfly clips, sigh!

  • Posted by: jeffy Master Fan // Wed, 15 December 2010 09:08am

    AHH to that hair brings back too any bad memories from my year 10 formal D=

    i simply cant enjoy it but her make up is divine! :)

  • Posted by: choc. Supporter // Wed, 15 December 2010 09:10am

    wow – she is simply divine. luv luv luv the make up. i also adore the hair – a bit young & funky which i think looks fab.

  • Posted by: Yasemin Turker Enthusiast // Wed, 15 December 2010 09:14am

    Baaahaha, I wore those butterfly clips too. I totally forgot about those. Style amnesia can be a great thing, especially in this instance. *Giggling at my desk like a nutcase. Yx

  • Posted by: NatMon Master Fan // Wed, 15 December 2010 09:30am

    Camilla keeps outdoing herself. Can’t wait to see what she comes up with next.

    And I remember those butterfly clips! I used to wear them all the time and thought I looked amazing haha oh dear

  • Posted by: sarahbranchy Enthusiast // Wed, 15 December 2010 09:51am

    haha i used to LOVE those butterfly clips! But I’d twist back all the front sections and leave the rest of my hair loose – thought I looked amazing!

    she looks great, i’m so jealous of her skin!!!

  • Posted by: georgiamae83 Devotee // Wed, 15 December 2010 09:55am

    LOVE it! I used to do something similar to my hair, and even though my hair is now shortish – I’m going to give it a go. yummo hello summery relaxed hair!

  • Posted by: sarah jane Newbie // Wed, 15 December 2010 10:15am

    she is gorgeous, the front frames her face perfectly.

  • Posted by: kforkarli Supporter // Wed, 15 December 2010 10:21am

    Yas I used to do that exact same Year 10 hair as well. I have no doubt that at the time we were totally rocking it. And yep I’m with Nadia and smashed out those butterfly clips as well..

  • Posted by: tango2 Enthusiast // Wed, 15 December 2010 10:49am

    Gorgeous! I do similiar to this hairstyle for work each day – simple yet fun and stylish :o )

  • Posted by: sarahp // Wed, 15 December 2010 10:52am

    I used to rock the knob twist too. Sometimes only on the sides of my head with the back hanging loose. eeewwww

  • Posted by: laurenb Enthusiast // Wed, 15 December 2010 11:41am

    I love Camilla. She is always so well groomed. Definitely a beauty and style icon. Love this hair look. Cute and fun yet still together and polished somehow – perfect for the festive season.

  • Posted by: Bantam Master Fan // Wed, 15 December 2010 12:06pm

    Not a fan of her hair I’m afraid, she is usually so well groomed!!! Strange that her hair is sticking out in places. Love her love maintenance makeup too.

  • Posted by: Berry // Wed, 15 December 2010 12:38pm

    I like her hair from the front (don’t love) but not from the side..too messy and rat’s nest-y for me :P
    But her MAKEUP….loovvve!

    Hahah I still sometimes do this hair, although i like to chuck random plaits in as well haha
    I do love her makeup but is it just me or does her face look paler than her arms? Maybe a touch of bronzer?

  • Posted by: misslysie Master Fan // Wed, 15 December 2010 11:16pm

    Love the makeup. So classy and pretty.

  • Posted by: Shaybear Devotee // Thu, 16 December 2010 05:28pm

    Total year 10 social hair! I used to have this fake bun thing that you put over your ponytail to get this exact look.

    She is so stunning though, and her cheeks are perfectly blushed. Jealous.
