Why is it that whenever you go to a holiday party,
you can always find someone who doesn't look how you would expect? Is
it because you think they overdid their fashion or make-up, or is it a
touch of envy?
Beauty queen or fashion disaster, it's up to you.
If you want to shine for the holidays, take note of these do's and
don'ts to spruce up your look and receive raves from your friends and
family.
Beauty Do's
Do Experiment.
Check out the latest in make-up and fashion trends
and give them a try. This will update your look and chances are, you'll
find something that enhances your skin tone and flatters your figure.
Do accentuate your finer features.
Play up your best features while drawing attention
away from your problem areas. For example, do you have sleek shoulders
but think your hips are too wide? Wear a sexy off-the-shoulder dress to
show off your finer assets.
Do consult professionals.
If you're the do-it-yourself kind of gal, you can
benefit from professional opinions now & then. Why not get a
makeover for the holidays? Keep in mind, salons are booked tightly for
the holiday season, so call well in advance for your appointment and
use your time in the waiting room looking through magazines for updated
hairstyles and fashion that best suit you.
Do simplify your beauty routine.
Unless you're headed out to a holiday party, forgo
unnecessary extras that take up valuable time. Keep your hairstyle
simple and make-up to natural colors that will look good with anything
you wear.
Beauty Don'ts
Don't be afraid of change.
Dazzle your friends with a new look. Whether it's
a new hairstyle, hair color, or just a dress, you'll get attention!
Think of it this way, models look different for every shoot and are
very versatile. Don't they always look great?
Don't wear too much make-up.
There's a fine line between a little extra holiday
pizzazz or downright heavy makeup. Choose colors that compliment your
face and blend it in well. Double check your face in bright lights
before heading out the door.
Don't forget accessories.
Add the finishing touch to your overall
appearance. The holidays are festive, so glam it up with accessories
and jewelry. Splurge on that handbag you've been wanting and don't feel
the least big guilty.
Don't let stress get the better of you.
It's no secret that the holidays can be most
stressful time of the year. Use your time wisely and learn to say "no."
Your face can easily reveal stress and lack of sleep, so designate some
of your duties to family members and be sure to get your beauty rest.
