Am I Hipster yet?

Hey Lovies! I'm back with another long awaited installment of my Am I...yet? series. If you haven't heard of it, or if you just want to catch up, click here for: Edgy, Preppy, and Boho. For this post I'm going to do the Hipster look!

What's a Hipster? Well, my favorite definition of a hipster from Urban Dictionary are:
"Hipster's can't be defined because then they'd fit in a category, and thus be too mainstream."

But seriously folks, basically hipsters are people who enjoy things that are considered to be outside of the the social mainstream( certain clothing, music, food etc). People who prefer independent music labels, pre-loved clothing found in thrift shops and the technology of yester-year.

Now I know what you're thinking: "But Elle, if the hipster culture is so popular, then doesn't that make the mainstream?" I don't know what to tell you, just another paradox of life.

Anyway, Here are so pop culture examples of Hispter fashion:

Actress Zoeey Deschannel (and her character Jess from The New Girl)

Makeup and Hair

Most hipster either find makeup to be too main stream or its a go big or go home type of deal. Dark red lipstick or heavy cat eyes would fit the look, but if you wanna go natural, that works too!

The Hipster look is rather androgynous, so short boyish hair is totally cool, especially if you dye it cool color like blue or purple or do the cool mermaid trend hair. You can also go them other way and have really long hair, also dyed. Piercings and tattoos are totally apart of this look (but you don't like them, don't feel pressure). The main look you want to go for with the hipster look is individuality. So be yourself.
