A positive appearance communicates positive self-esteem. The following are beauty, fashion, and image tips that help to create a powerful presence. They also are great fun!
For oily skin, use a camouflage stick on your lips as a lipstick base prior to using lipstick.
After using foundation and powder, line lips with a lip pencil; apply lipstick, and then reapply lip pencil. This prevents lipstick "bleeds."
Heat Vaseline until warm and runny. Hold it over your closed eyes for about 30 seconds so remover can melt the makeup.
Use eye shadow and an angular brow brush on the eyebrows. It gives a more natural look than would an eye pencil.
For a longer lasting blush, apply foundation, cream rouge, powder, and lastly a powder blush.
Put the spilled powder in a small container and apply with a brush or dry cosmetic sponge.
To balance the upper body, one may wear shoulder pads. Emphasize upper torso with scarves, necklaces, earrings or pins.
Wear monochromatic colors such as dark gray slacks and a lighter gray blouse. Wearing black and white can shorten and add weight. Vertical lines, same color tones top and bottom, open necklines and a looser fit are slimming.
Where the hair length ends is where the eyes stop. If your full jaw is square and your forehead is narrow, hair length should end just above or below the jaw.
Wear a smooth looser front in skirt or pants with side pockets.
Raglan sleeves, vertical lines and deep V-necks will flatter. Emphasis may be on the hips.
