Bold 'n Edgy

Everyone wants to be bold and stand out, but how do you know when enough to be bold ends and where too much begins?

Well first off you have to know what your colors are, then try something a bit edgier like electric blue or shimmery gold! But you don't want to over do these colors, so start with a base of your trusted colors.

Once you're done with those add a hint of these colors, see how they look, and if your look ends up correctly dab off the edgy makeup with a makeup remover and try a different color or add less. A few celebs could give you some hints...




As you see most of the attention is drawn to their eyes, this is because it's easy to play up your eyes without going overboard. When you wear bright blue lipstick, green eyeshadow and electric purple blush, you look a bit crazy.

You might ask how you know what edgy colors are right for you. The answer is simple: all of them, the fact that it's different and out there is what makes it cool! The best way for you to find what colors work best for you are based on two things.

A) Your personality, what you think is the most important opinion of all!

B) EXPERIMENT!! Try new things, take a walk on the wild side, show off some of those colors you bought when you were younger that you grew out of!!

Extravagant Hair

People often think that to make their hair look good they have to be very extravagant. But it could be just the opposite, when doing your hair it's better to look a bit too simple than to look over the top. The worst feeling for me is to walk into a room and have everyone stare at me, because I'm over-dressed. Hair can be a beneficiary to looking too extravagant, so keeping hair nice and simple is a good way to play it safe. These starlets know to keep it simple.

Bed Time Routines

Everyone has a checklist for what they do before they go to bed, sometimes it changes a bit, but it's usually the same. See if your checklist has everything you need to do!

1) Brush your hair: It's important to brush your hair before you go to bed to avoid nasty snarls in the morning.

2) Take a shower: Clinical hygiene is important, so make sure to take a shower before bed.

3) Wash your face: Even though you just took a shower, you  need to wash your face before bed, even if it's really late and you're tired.

4) Turn off the computer, stop texting on your cell phone and put away your iPads and Tablets an hour before you go to bed: Most electronic devices give off artificial light that will keep you up, turn them off an hour before you catch your Z's.

 *Tip: If you have thick hair put it in a ballerina bun or braid it before bed to help avoid last minute hair fiascoes

Picking Colors

Colors are extremely important when dealing with makeup! This is so you make sure you pick the right colors, rather than the wrong ones.

--Soft pinks and sheer textures are great for warm weather; creamy dark wines and plums are ripe for winter.

--Olive skin looks its best in light browns with warm tones, or dark brownish-reds. STAY AWAY FROM PINKS/ORANGE-REDS!!

--Fair complexions are great  with shades that have a warm pink or peachy glow, or a dramatic red with bluish tint.

--Dark skin is flattered by deep reds with blue or purple tones, or deep reddish-browns. STAY AWAY FROM PINKS/ORANGE-REDS!!

*Tip: Neutral tones can be your best friend on casual days and weekend afternoons, but when it comes time to go out to town or and fun party, nothing suits you better than a gorgeous red!

A little intro

Before I start posting about beauty tips, there are a few things you need to know.

1) Makeup is not to hide your natural beauty, but to enhance it. Don't pile on globs of makeup and think it makes you look better, add a little bit of makeup and feel a bit more confident about yourself.

2) NO TANNING SALONS! As much as people like to think that when you're tan you look prettier, it isn't always true. Those orange-pinks that you love to wear now, once you're tan, they won't look all too good on you.

3) Never be afraid to experiment. Just because since you were 5 you loved that rosy shade of pink, doesn't mean you can't try things like bold reds or a crazy magenta! Beauty changes, way back when, it was considered "beautiful" to be fat and pale, now its skinny and tan! So don't be afraid to try new things, who knows, you might just start a trend!

4) People have different opinions, so don't let anyone tell you you're not beautiful in your own skin! Everyone is beautiful, but in their own way, that's why it's so cool to be a person. You are beautiful, but just because you don't look like Miley Cyrus's twin sister, doesn't mean you aren't beautiful! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, just because your bestie doesn't like your new 'do, doesn't mean it isn't cute!
