Alana's Bikini Bod Tips
Keep active
Walk wherever you can as often as you can--to get your coffee, to the post office, and instead of lying on the beach, go for a snorkel or swim!
Drink lots of water
Everyone says this but it's a must! I try to drink 3 liters a day--and sometimes more if I'm in really hot places.
Eat fruits and veggies
My diet consists predominantly of fruits and veggies; I stay away from processed foods and sugars!
Be happy and positive
If you get in a downwards spiral, it's not good. There's positive in every negative situation--find it and focus on it. It will help you get through the day. Spending a bit of time outside or in nature each day helps with this!
Use sunscreen
I spend so much time in the sun, so sunscreen is really important. Remember to remove your sunscreen at the end of the day as well. If you don't your pores will get clogged and your skin won't absorb your moisturizer.
Keep everything hydrated
Conditioner for your hair, body oil, face cream, and lip chap. When your skin is dehydrated, you look older--moisturize to prevent wrinkles and aging.

Get The Look: Alana's Hair & Makeup For Bethany Hamilton's Wedding Day!
Create a loose bun
I can't really tell what her hairstyle completely looks like, but I'm guessing that it's in a loose bun with a middle part, and I can see that there's some face-framing pieces pulled out, as well.
Get your eyebrows in check
Fill in and shape your eyebrows into a round eyebrow. Blend in with a spoolie and use some eyebrow gel to set everything into place.
Recreate Alana's stunning eye makeup
Alana's eye makeup in this picture is very pretty, and quite simple, too. Start off by using a cream eyeliner on your waterline and using some smoky black or brown eyeliner or eyeshadow along your lower lashline about 3/4 of the way. Smudge upwards. Next, use the same smoky black or brown eyeshadow on the outer half of your eyelid, blending well into the crease, and slightly fanning it out. Finally, use some golden eyeshadow on the inner half your eyelid, as well the tear duct. Precisely line your upper lashline with a black liquid liner. Finish off the look with a few coats of black mascara.
Contour your features
Contour along the sides of your nose with a light-medium matte brown eyeshadow.
Add a flush of color
Warm up your complexion with a little matte bronzer. Also use some rosy blush on the apples of your cheeks, and highlighter on the highest part of your cheekbones.
You're finished!
