Makeup Dos and Don’ts
Wearing makeup is as normal to women as eating and taking a bath. Who doesn’t want to look good when they go out? Besides, looking beautiful is not just about getting noticed; it’s about feeling good about yourself. If you have been wearing makeup for the longest time, it is very easy to make a mistake. If you had not really consulted a makeup professional on the right makeup that suits your features, then you might have been putting on the wrong makeup. Don’t fall into the trap of feeling like you know it all. It takes another’s perspective to tell you if your makeup really does look good.
When choosing foundation, it is necessary to try it first before buying it. Does it blend with your skin? Is it too light or too dark? It should look as natural on your skin as possible. A tip when buying foundation: Test it on your neck and see how it looks. Getting the color right is not all to it. You should also consult your dermatologist first to know your skin type so you know what kind of foundation is appropriate for it.
Knowing what blush shade goes with your skin tone is also important. If it is too dark, it will not look natural. Just like with the foundation, testing the blush before buying is necessary. A blush on should give the effect of a natural glow on your cheeks. Apply the blush on the apples of your cheeks and look in the mirror to evaluate.
The color of lipstick should go with your skin tone and the other shades of makeup you are using. For instance, if you decide to wear bright red lipstick, you should have a rather fair complexion and not too much eye makeup on. You can also choose light colors for a ‘nude makeup’ effect.
How to Look Fashionable
Don’t you wish you could look like a runway model? These women just seem to be so perfect. Well, they actually are not and in your own way, you can look like a model, too. It starts with confidence and knowing that all your features are special gifts. If you are not used to putting so much effort into your clothing every day then you should slowly do this. Pick any day of the week when you really want to take time and put together a fashionable ensemble.
A little research can help in you in finding out what kind of style suits you. There are hundreds of materials in the internet and also fashion magazines which you can read. Look at the pictures and read advice from experts on what looks best on you depending on your body type.
Before your ‘fashion day’, have a fitting. Look at your closet and check to see what items there coincide with your chosen style. Don’t be afraid to experiment. Besides, you’ll just be doing this in your bedroom. You might be surprised to find out what clothing you have that are in with the fashion trends of today.
Aside from clothing, you must select the kind of shoes that are appropriate for it. You should know the size and type of feet that you have so you can check whether your shoes really fit you properly. This also helps when it is time to buy a new pair.
You have to be confident because that’s what will really make you flow easily with your clothing. You should wear your outfit and not the other way around. Try making a fashion statement a habit not because you want to show off but because it makes you feel good about yourself. Let your personality shine through and let your clothing style complement it.
