Fashion Tip: Dont Make These Fashion Mistakes

1. Wearing the Wrong Colors

To look your best wear clothing colors that will complement your skin. Wearing the wrong colors will make your skin appear sallow and lines and wrinkles will be more evident. The right colors will make you look more vibrant and healthy.

2. Wearing too much makeup

Too much makeup will make lines appear deeper and will create a harsh look. Keep makeup light for day and a little darker for evening. See a professional if you are unsure of makeup application techniques.

3. Wearing Clothes that are too small

Wearing clothes that fit too tightly will make you appear larger. Wearing clothes that do not suit your body type will make you appear larger. Buy clothes that suit your body type - not someone else's.

4. Chipped nail polish

The idea of nail polish is to make your nails appear nicer. Chipped polish just brings attention to poor grooming.

5. An old-fashioned hairstyle or messy hair

Your hairstyle creates a first impression. From your hairstyle people will assume your education level, status, age etc. This doesn't mean the judgments are correct ? they happen instinctively. Make sure it doesn't happen to you. Visit your hairstylist regularly.

6. Messy Shoes or wrong shoes for your outfit

Take care of your shoes they complete your look. Also pay attention that your complement your outfit.

7. Roots that show

If you colour your hair make sure you keep it maintained regularly.

8. Bras and bra straps that show

When wearing sleeveless tops make sure you wear a racer back bra. Don't wear bras that fit too tightly or don't have good support.

9. Mismatched hose

Match your hose with your shoes or with your pants or skirt.

10. Wearing inappropriate clothes

When in a working environment make sure that your clothes are not flashy (unless you are in a creative field) do not wear short skirts, (more than 3 inches above the knee) sleeveless tops, plunging necklines, stilettos, too much jewelry, leather pants or skirts, or anything that shimmers.

Bridal Beauty

Every bride deserves to be the very special lady of the day and look her best. The hairdo, the makeup, the bridal trousseau and how the bride conducts herself is the focus of everybody's attention on this day and you will certainly feel much more comfortable, if you have already done the dress rehearsal first.

Here are some useful tips for the bride:
  • To cover the reddish skin, use sheer color corrector and apply tinted moisturizer of yellowish green or olive green shade to neutralize it.
  • Pink color blush is not for the wedding day, generally speaking. Try bronzer under cheekbones instead.
    Bright lip colors may be warm such as orange-red, orange-gold, copper and warm beiges, creams and caramels or cool such as fuchsia, magenta, blue-reds, shades of lilac and pink and make lips look plusher and fuller.
    Deep warm lip colors such as yellowish and orangish browns; mahogany, deep warm reds and chocolate and deep cool shades such as cool brown, taupe, deep purple, plum and blue-toned burgundy underplay too much thickness of lips.
  • The subtle look can be achieved by using the air-brush a lot and sticking to light shades such as cream, gold, lime green and brown for warm skin undertones and lilac, plums and soft pink for cool skin undertones.
  • Neutrals are the safest choice to make you seem a bride endowed with natural beauty.
  • Be sure to coordinate you overall look: all the colors should have either warm or cool tone while your hair, make-up, jewelry and gown should correspond to the carefully chosen theme.
  • Hairstyle is usually chosen, after completing the makeup to suit the looks of the bride.
  • If you are not used to wearing heavy makeup, keep your hands away from blue and green eye shadows.
  • For olive and dusky skinned ladies, maroons and brown lip colors are the safest bet as well as the golden tones.
  • Hairstyles are often adorned with pearls, rhinestones, flower buds, golden lace, satin ribbons, jeweled hair bands and tiaras among other hair ornaments and may range from the simplest French braid or bud to complex and elaborate hairdos.
  • Bridal makeup includes all the attention to the minutest of details. Don't overlook them for the finished look.
  • A timeless makeup look will keep your wedding snaps fresher forever, so try not to give in to the fads of the day.
  • Cream foundation with a high pigment level is recommended.
  • Don't forget to cover your neck, chest, area behind your ears with foundation and makeup too. Morning weddings need natural look makeup while evening weddings need more formally adorned brides with darker makeup shades.

  • Lighting also determines your makeup. A well-lit area uses lighter colors while deeper tones are good for darker areas. Fluorescent lighting will add a greenish tinge to everything so avoid green shades.
    Try not to be too dramatic but there is a secret seldom revealed: red lipstick makes teeth appear whiter!

Great Hair Beauty Secrets Revealed!


Here are some tips and secrets to be the perfect diva that you can try at home, without spending a fortune in the beauty parlors and wandering from beauty clinics and saloons. Remember, they are not to be passed on to your friends:


The hot tip to make your hair smell aromatic is to prepare your own hair perfume at home. Mix 6 tablespoons of powdered charcoal, 5 tablespoons of powdered myrrh and 1 tablespoon of powdered benzoin together and sieve it thoroughly. Add 2-3 drops of bergamot oil and 2-3 drops of sandalwood oil, 1 tablespoon of potassium nitrate and mucilage of tragacanth to the mixture until it acquires the consistency of a stiff paste. Heat the mixture over a water bath. Shape it into little cones and dry them. Whenever you wash your hair, light one of the cones while your hair is still damp and let them soak the smell of the cone.

A perfect way to get rid of dry, brittle, dull hair is to massage mayonnaise into your hair thoroughly, starting from the roots to the hair ends. Then pile your hair on top of your head and cover them fully with plastic food wrap. Wrap the pre-heated towel around it and keep it on for 10 minutes. This will help in deep-conditioning your hair. Now, replace the towel with another pre-heated towel and leave it on for 10 minutes too. Now remove all the wraps and shampoo your hair. This cholesterol treatment once a month for your hair is a boon that will keep it soft and shiny.
If you don't have time to shampoo your oily hair daily, you can try this out. Pour some cornstarch into a dish and dip a clean, large blush brush into it. Brush your scalp and hair roots thoroughly with the cornstarch and leave it on for 10 minutes to soak off the oil. Then brush away the cornstarch flakes, ridding your hair with all that unwanted greasiness.


Make a mixture by adding ¼ cup of apple cider vinegar with 1 gallon of distilled water and store it in the refrigerator. Once a fortnight, shampoo and rinse your hair thoroughly and then pour 2 cups of the mixture over the scalp and let it saturate the hair. Rinse your hair with cold water to get rid of all the drab of hair styling products.

A possible cure for your impossible dandruff is vinegar. Massage it into your scalp and leave it to dry for a few minutes. Wash the hair thoroughly and repeat the process daily. Dandruff usually disappears within a few days.

The ancient Mayan women used avocados to keep their skin and hair healthy. Here is their infallible hair mask that you can use too - Mix ½ ripe avocado, 1 tbsp. olive oil, ½ small banana and 1 egg yolk together and massage it into your hair. Cover it with a plastic wrap and leave it on for one hour. Rinse the mask with warm water and then shampoo your hair thoroughly.

Say goodbye to your dandruff by dissolving 2 aspirins in your dandruff shampoo before washing your hair with it. Moisturize your hair with a good conditioner later.

Powder your greasy hair by putting it a little at the root of your hair before straying. For very oily hair, powder your hair heavily and keep it on for 15 minutes. Then wash the hair completely and condition lightly before making the desired style.
To bleach your hair naturally or just lighten their color, rub lemon juice on them and wander out for a walk in natural sunlight.

Make-up Tips for Teenagers


Mothers have been fretting over their teenaged girls ever-increasing cosmetic use and the threat to their skin. Now they should breathe easier for even teens can use cosmetics made especially for them. Teenagers should opt for more natural look and use light application of makeup only as their skin is still young and is naturally beautiful. Soft and subtle are the two keywords that teens should keep in mind while doing makeup. The colors that work best for them are the ones that are closest to their natural skin tone or add just a bit of color to their faces such as shades of pink, coral, neutral brown and gray.

Here are a few steps that any teenage girl can use to transform into a blooming beauty in a jiffy:

  • Use a concealer pencil that matches you skin tone to cover any skin imperfections, acnes, skin blemishes, scars or dark circles.
  • Use a toothbrush to brush brows into place.

  • Use a soft gray eye pencil to fill in any gaps in the eyebrows.
  • Use soft gray eyeliner to line the lashes and blend it well to the outside edge.

  • Apply one coat of brown mascara but if you have naturally black eyelashes, you may also use black mascara too.
  • If you have a warm skin undertone, use sheer application of peach blush but if you have a cool skin undertone, use soft pink shade. Blend it well using cotton ball.
  • Use natural shade of lip color or just sheer gloss for a soft nude look and you are ready for the party, girl.

15 Ideas for the perfect officewear

Look for more tapered suits with generally relaxed silhouettes
Suit coats and blazers are still predominantly made of wool and other natural fabrics, with blends of stretch and body-hugging materials such as lycra and Tencel, in order to give them a more modern look and feel.

Don't hesitate to purchase solid pattern suits because they will always remain classics. Keep an eye out for pinstripe and windowpane patterns because they're all the rage this season.


  • Pay attention to colour combination; we recommend fluorescent colours - purple, pink, fuchsia, and light greens.

  • If you don't want to follow the existing colour code, stick to conservative colors. Great, versatile colours that always remain classics are medium to dark neutrals such as charcoal, black and navy, as well as earthy shades like rust and olive.

  • Go for longer, leaner jacket with softer and less constructed shoulders. Jackets also sport a higher button stance, narrower notched lapels and flap pockets.

  • Also, look for jackets, featuring minimal lining and patch pockets, which when, combined with sportier pants, give you a more relaxed appearance.

  • Separates are also gaining popularity because of their extreme versatility. Separates aren't exactly complete suits, but rather the combination of a pair of dressy pants with a matching blazer, making for a sportier look. One can wear them occasionally to freshen their style and wardrobe, with a whole new casual yet elegant look.

  • Wearing casual and dressy articles together is also gaining a lot of popularity at workplaces. Instead of wearing the more conventional tie and shirt, try pairing up your suits with fine-gauge knits.

  • Stylish V-necks, crew necks and turtlenecks will all look great under a sassy suit.
    Although pleats seem to be making a slow comeback, slimmed-down, cuffless flat fronts are still the norm this season.

  • Spread collar shirts are still highly fashionable, yet collars are now trimmer than they used to be in the past.

  • "In" ties are skinnier than those we were accustomed to seeing for the past few years. Opt for shiny silks, as well as ties with a matte finish.

  • This season's dressy shoes are wide and square at the tips, for both lace-ups and loafers.
    Rubber and wedge-shaped soles are also part of the newest trend in footwear for men -- a good thing, as these are more comfortable than traditional heels.

How to Look Beautiful at the Beach

Its almost summer time, which is also beach time, and you want to feel and look gorgeous for your long summer days at the beach...Start now to get ready and be ready to be the star of the beach!

Steps
Go shopping for a pretty swimsuit that suits your shape. For a big bust, opt for a bikini top with cups or inner support. For a tummy, maybe try a tankini and if you are worried about your hips/bum, boy leg shorts always look hot. Pastel colours suit paler skins whereas bright colours look great on tanned or dark skin.
Make sure that in preparation for the beach, you remember to remove all unwanted body hair and give your body a full exfoliation with a body scrub in the shower. Moisturising afterwards leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth.
Apply a self-tanner for a bronzed, beach babe look might be optional and should be applied after you moisturise, but remember, pale skin can be beautiful too.
Paint nails and toenails a bright summer colour in a sunset tone such as bright yellow and orange hues.
Spritz a conditioning spray in your hair before leaving the house, to protect it from the sun's harmful rays.
Apply a clear sunscreen of at least 30 SPF all over your body and face, and spray a fresh, summer fragrance for an irresistable scent. Some lovely summer perfumes include CK summer One and Island by Michael Kors. Apply a tinted moisturiser, waterproof mascara, soft pink blush and a light pink lip gloss with some SPF in it. For the more daring, bright eyeshadows in aqua or orange can look amazing.

Tips
For a natural beauty therapy whilst at the beach, you can give your body an exfoliation with sand and rinse with pure ocean water.
For a more subtle tan, mix self-tanner with your moisturiser for a lighter 'glow'.
Spray an anti-frizz treatment in your hair and then leave au natural. Low mainentance should be the main aim at the beach.

Warnings
Don't forget to have a shower before you head for the beach...body odour on a hot summer day is a real turn-off.
Don't forget to maintain a weekly exercise regimen and a healthy eating plan to make sure you look great in your bikini!
