If you like the Skins show, you already know Effy Stonem: she is the "bad girl", the rebel who attracts all the boys, the teenager who does damage to everyone and even to herself. To do this, she uses her sexy and mysterious look, as well as her personality. Read on to understand how to imitate it.
Steps
Step 1. Take care of your hair
Effy has medium length brown hair. She often wears them loose, in free locks, even if she sometimes smoothes them out. You can do it too if you like this style, or if you choose the classic Effy look, use some mousse on damp hair to make it look naturally wavy. Alternatively, use a hair curler, and immediately afterwards loosen the curls a little with your fingers. However, Effy's hair is generally shiny and shiny, so use a shampoo and conditioner that give this effect, applying other specific products as well if necessary. Always make sure your hair is voluminous and has a natural look.
Step 2. It's the trick's turn
Effy basically has three makeup styles. Soapy water, dark eyes, and very dark eyes.
- Soap and water look: use a light tinted base, in line with the color of your skin. Use very light pink blush on your cheeks. Put black mascara on the upper lashes. Finally, apply some white eyeshadow on the eyelids.
- Dark eyes: Use black eyeliner on your lower lids. Put a shade of gray from the middle to the outside of the eye. Use some black eyeshadow on the bottom of the eyelid, and dilate it a little on the crease of the eye. Apply light pink blush to the tips of the cheeks. Finally, put some pink lipstick on your lips.
- Darkest eyes: Use black eyeliner on the lids to join them at the corners. Put some black eyeshadow on the upper lid, dilating it upwards, and on the lower lid. Apply mascara to your lashes. Leave your lips natural, or use lip gloss.
Step 3. Try to get his own body shape if you want and if possible
Effy is very thin. Remember that the actress who plays her is a model in real life. If you are already thin, fine. If you want to lose some weight, do some sport and eat healthily, but in general it is good to appreciate your curves as they are, and not try to get thin like Effy, because it could be dangerous. Be healthy and fit and you will be sexy like Effy.
Step 4. Trust yourself
Technically this has nothing to do with physical appearance, but if you are feeling confident and beautiful, you will notice it. Walk straight, smile, be proud of yourself and aware of your beauty, and you will become much more attractive.
Step 5. Remember to remain a little mysterious
Talk less maybe, but make your every word powerful and meaningful. Effy's jokes always have a profound meaning.
Remember that Effy has emotional problems that cause this reserved but unregulated behavior. Later in the show it turns out that she is depressed, but you remember that. She doesn't care about anything. If you are the kind of person with few worries, who can give a damn about everything, then you can be the perfect Effy. You only care about having fun
Step 6. Imitate Effy's outfit
Effy has a very grunge, semi-goth, rocker girl style. Use lots of dark colors, super short dresses, weird shirts, leather jackets and mini skirts. Watch the show for inspiration. Anything that is short, black or gray, and a little bit alternative should be perfect. However, in series 4 Effy begins to use a little more colors, so don't be afraid to do it too if you like. Look for shops that have clothes in this style, and go to the flea markets to find something unique. Effy hardly ever uses skirts or dresses that go below the knee. Finally, Effy likes to use weird t-shirts, loose tops, shirts, dresses, ripped skinny jeans, leggings, leather jackets, and very large sweaters.
- Denim is Effy's main feature: she's a grunge girl after all! Obviously he never wears new clothes, too light, or too "all in one piece": in the true sense of the word, everything is ripped off. Boyfriend jeans, denim shorts, and customized jackets with patches, writings and guess what … rips! Unleash the imagination that there is something for everyone!
- Effy's technique is to throw herself on the first thing she finds which is often something like this or this, or a simple t-shirt with a pair of shorts. That's why he always uses something to throw on it like a denim jacket, a sweatshirt or his favorites: check shirts. Obviously oversize!
- Whether she's wearing shorts or a t-shirt from her sibling dress, Effy will likely be wearing a pair of fishnets, or a pair of ripped leggings underneath. Let's go into the punk imagination here, be careful!
- Military boots or Converse All Stars as if it were raining! Effy NEVER wears heels, which is pretty obvious since she's just a teenager on the show. She is a somewhat toxic teenager to be exact, and you never know if she will come home or sleep on a bench, so, battle shoes! Yes to amphibians and biker boots and sneakers like the all stars (or maybe a mix of the two, what do you think?)
- Accessories are also very important. Large necklaces, various chains, cross pendants, pearls, long pendants, earrings - actually, everything is fine! Socks, shoes, boots, belts and bags complete the style - look around and find something that strikes you. Again, go for dark colors, indie and alternative styles, and exaggerated prints.
Warnings
- Be yourself! You can be as sexy as Effy and still be yourself. For example, if you're an outgoing person, don't get cold and aloof just to mimic Effy's mysterious nature - she's actually not a very nice person, and those around you may not like the change.
- Likewise, if you are blonde, don't color your hair! If you have darker skin, don't try to turn pale. Take advantage of what you have.
- Even if you choose to imitate it, don't overdo it. Stay safe, and enjoy!
- Don't start smoking, drinking or using drugs to imitate Effy. Remember he's just a TV personality!
