2. Enhance Your Features with Basic Hair and Makeup Tips
A masterful manipulation of makeup and hair can make anyone look like a million bucks. Whether you want to accentuate your best features or even out rough edges, these basic hair and makeup tips will help you put your best look forward.
Taming Flyaways – Say goodbye to those pesky flyaways that can ruin even the sleekest hairdos. After you finish blow-drying your hair, rub a tiny drop of argan, almond, or jojoba oil between your hands and drag them through your hair, Wait a few minutes until the oil absorbs and then use a fine-toothed comb to arrange your locks.
Adding Dimension with Some Color – Banish flatness from your head by adding a few highlights or lowlights. If you are looking for a more subtle effect, you can pick one color lighter or darker than the base color. However, if the difference in shades is on the more dramatic side, it could make your hair appear more voluminous.
Go Natural with Your Eyelashes – Skip the falsies and opt for natural, full eyelashes instead. Although it may seem ironic, curling your eyelashes before you apply mascara can make them appear thicker. When it comes to applying mascara, do one layer, and then use an eyelash comb to separate the lashes and avoid clumping.
- Use a lipstick with a matte finish to make lips appear fuller
- Use highlighter on the bridge of your nose and in the corners of your eyes
- Apply blush to the apples of your cheeks for a natural, sun-kissed look
Finally, remember that the best makeup and hairstyling are completely invisible. To achieve a natural look, you don’t need to pile on the makeup. Invest in a good primer, and use your foundation, blush, and eyeliner sparingly. As Coco Chanel said, “Less is more.”
3. Simple Routines for a Quick Yet Elegant Look
Create a Capsule Wardrobe
A capsule wardrobe is a great way to achieve a quick yet elegant look. A capsule wardrobe is made up of a few pieces of quality clothing and accessories, which can be mixed and matched for a variety of stylish looks. The trick is to choose timeless pieces in elegant colors, like navy blues, greys, and blacks. High-end materials, such as silk, wool and cashmere, tend to look more luxurious and expensive.
Choose the Right Silhouette
When choosing clothing, look for pieces with a simple silhouette. This could involve a few basic blazers or tailored shirts. Tailoring can also make a big difference when it comes to achieving an elegant look. Stick with sophisticated silhouettes, like wrap-dresses or pencil skirts. When it comes to trousers, sleek and slim works best.
Accessorising
Accessories can take an outfit from ‘meh’ to ‘marvellous’. A small statement clutch, a classic watch, a few pieces of statement jewellery, or even a simple scarf can instantly lift any ensemble. They also add texture and interest to a look, so don’t underestimate the power of accessorising!
Making Use of Beauty Basics
If you want to look put-together in 5 minutes or less, make use of beauty basics. Keep your hair and makeup simple, but elegant. For instance, you could opt for a messy bun and a simple swipe of eyeliner. A neutral lip or a glossy nude is usually all you need for an elegant look. To finish off, add some tinted moisturiser, bronzer, and a subtle blush.
