Yes year after year trends come and go just like the seasons in which they exist. But do you want to look like the last couple decades let alone last season? I think not!
Moreover it is indeed classy to follow some trends, But while we can not follow every thing I plan to provide you with some time tested tips that should help to get you through any season’s storm.
Beauty Do 1. Goodbye overly done hair
Yep that’s right messy can equal sexy! But please don’t become too overly involved with messy. As going overboard can contribute to a trashy unkempt look; rather the fresh free image that we are looking for.
It’s easy to create this look. Perhaps by placing a bun loose and lower to the nape. Use a few loose knots to pull your hair up. Wear your hair down or to the side with a few loose curls. To set, use a quality professional hairspray with flexible memory rather than the non moving lacquers of the past.
Beauty Do 2. Makeup, look to the past.
When considering a look with makeup, think about the main areas of the face. The focal points of eyes and lips shouldn’t seem as if they are competing for attention. This would lead to a more overly done look. As soon as we understand that the human eye is built for asymmetry rather than symmetry Our task of creating a look becomes much simpler.
Look to the past, smoky eyes with contrasting nude lips hearkens a more beatnik feel. Perhaps you would like to wear a more pastel shadow on the eyes and play the lips up with rich, bold reds. Can we say 1940’s? These are both couple of fine examples of the many styles that one can create. Key word: Contrast.
Beauty Do 3. Foundation less is more.
That’s right! You heard it, less is more. Lets face it foundation was created for coverage at varying levels. So this means the more you pile on your face, the greater you run the chance of creating a mask like appearance that shows every minuscule flaw on your face.
Research your foundation. Make sure it matches between neck and face, while considering we generally are lighter in the winter and darker during the summer. To maintain a fresh non caked look, only use foundation lightly where you need it. Generally for daily wear you would want to consider the areas around the eyes, the nose, mouth and perhaps the cheeks. In the end with a quality brush remember to blend, blend, and blend some more!
Beauty tip 4. No talons!
Short to medium length nails lend to a classic easy to keep look. Rather than super long overly decorated talons suited for Freddy Kruger. Can we say bacteria heaven?
So with our short to medium nails lets adorn them with French manicures (not on the feet please) or select simple frosted shades that have been in use for decades. For the daring, try dark rich shades. Dark polishes are classy and if worn well with complementing makeup can look very trendy.
Beauty tip 5. Sunscreen
It has been said time and again but yes it is important. Often sunscreen is the forgotten tool in ones beauty ritual. The truth about this is that sunscreen is probably the most important part of your routine; if you use an SPF 15 or products that contain a block in them on a daily basis you won’t have to worry about to many other lotions and potions.
When you’re older and looking at your peers you can thank yourself, as you will appear much younger and fresh.
