This Spring, hair gets shorter as clothes become lighter. The look
is short, yet undone in a subtle way. There's nothing prim or boring
about this Spring's hair styles. Funky is in. Short, funky but very
flattering.
The most important thing you can do to change
your look this spring is to change your hairstyle. Models with staying
power do it all the time. In an industry which is constantly looking
for fresh, new faces, veteran models stay fresh by changing their hair
color and hair style, thus reemerging as the new IT girl.
Likewise,
you can turn heads this spring by simply changing your hair color and
going for a flattering cut. This time around, the bob with bangs is
hot. The bob is a classic for a reason. It is very flattering. When you
change in look, be prepared to invest in a great cut. Go for a stylist
you can trust. There are so many variations of the bob. Get your
stylist's advice as to which suits you best, given your hair texture
and facial shape.
To avoid ending up with a cut that you
really hate, bring along magazine that feature models with the haircut
you want. Bear in mind what looks great on the model might not look as
good on you due to different features, facial shape and hair type, so
be flexible. If the stylist advises against it, take your stylist's
advice. If in doubt, seek a second opinion.
If you don't like
short hair, it is still cool to wear your hair long. You can change
your look with highlights, or by changing your hair color altogether.
Get your hair trimmed to soften the edges.
Whether you
prefer long hair or short hair, the surest way to change your image is
to change your hair color. A drastic change in hair color can make you
look like a different person altogether. To complete the look, change
your wardrobe to suit your new hairstyle and hair color. For your
spring wardrobe, pick colors that go with you new hair color as well.
In a makeover like that, make sure you pick the right hair color for you as that is the basis of your makeover.
That
done, change your makeup palette to go with your hairstyle and hair
color. Going goth, a darker, more somber makeup palette is in order.
Going for the girl next door look? Prettier colors and pastels would be
perfect. The sultry siren demands red lipstick and smoky eyes. Make
sure the makeup you pick is in line with your new image.
Besides makeup colors, pay attention to the way you apply your makeup. Invest in a good set of makeup brushes.
They make all the difference between shoddy, unflattering makeup
application and one that is polished and gorgeous. Experiment with your
new makeup in front of the mirror. Play with the way your wear your
eyeliner. A line drawn thicker at the edges on your upper lash line
would emphasise your eyes more. You could draw cats eyes, or you can
skip eyeliner altogether, depending on the look you want to create.
Spend some time experimenting to perfect your look. Once you're ready,
you can unveil the new you to the rest of the world. |
