Holiday Hair And Make-up!
As the holiday's approach, everyone is busy making plans to
celebrate the yuletide with friends and family. This holiday
season, make sure you look your best, especially at the work
Christmas party or on a blind date. Make-up may be all smoke and
mirrors but truly, it's just you, in color. The right make up
and hair style can make you look more refreshed, younger and
more fashionable, without having to take hours in front of the
mirror.
First and foremost know what colors look good on you. Stick to a
cool palette if you have a blue or pink undertone to your skin
and ash, black or gray hair with blue or blue green eyes. A cool
palette of mauves, pinks, blues, blue greens and silver will
look best on you. Choose a warm palette if you have a golden or
yellow skin undertone and are a warm brunette, red head or
golden blond with green yellow or rich brown eyes. A warm
palette of red's, corals, orange, yellows, yellow greens and
gold will look best on you. When in doubt stick to neutrals,
browns, grays and rich earth tones which won't show as "color"
against the skin but as a shade or intensity.
For an easy, natural "boy approved look", start with a tinted
moisturizer which offers a light amount of coverage, moisturizer
and sunblock all in one. Mask-like foundation just won't do if
you're planning on getting up close and personal. Wear a fresh
rosy color on the cheeks and a kiss proof lipstick or tinted lip
balm. Keep eyes subdued with a light, stay in place shimmery
shadow in a soft brown and finish up with a coat of waterproof
mascara. Waterproof mascara is a great option for a date because
it stays put, doesn't flake and won't run. Don't get too trendy
with your make-up, only the girls will be impressed by a
tri-colored, false lashed peeper and a perfectly applied pout.
When it comes to a mane of luxurious locks, make your's smell
great with a fresh smelling shampoo and conditioner. Stick to
one line of products so you don't overwhelm your mate's
olfactory senses. Some hair care lines even have a spray scent
or shine spray you can add to your locks the day after washing
to keep them looking and smelling fresh. On a date, keep your
hair swept off the face (ponytail, or half-up half-down) to
resist playing or fidgeting with your hair when nervous. Don't
overuse product, a stiff, teased and greased coif will deflect
attention rather then attract it.
Show some skin and make sure to be well moisturized. Choose a
moisturizer with a hint of shimmer and a light pleasing scent.
As a last primping step, brush your teeth!
