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 holiday 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 or shirt to
show off your finer assets.
Do
consult professionals.
If you're the do-it-yourself
kind of girl, 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 fashions 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.
