The Right Bangs for Your Face
The Right Bangs for Your Face
Who would say that bangs are not for everyone? With the right cut, bangs would just be the perfect cut for your hair. For those who have square faced, long bangs are the right thing for you. The bangs should be layered on the side to create some sort of feminine look. You may also have thick bangs but it all depends on your personality because this kind of bangs can be overwhelming. Have the stylist cut your hair just below the brows with a feather center and the heaviest part should be at the side.
For round faced women, bangs that arches are the perfect cut. The right cut would spell victory but an oddly cut bangs would mean disaster. Round faced women should be aware of this. A curved and archy bangs would definitely flatter them and this can only be best achieved when the bangs are thick.
Side-swept bangs are appropriate for women who have heart-shaped faces. This would draw the attention to the eyes. The best style would be layered feathery bangs that have the longest part on the outer corners and the shortest one should fall on the arch of the brows.
Almost all bangs styles are workable on women with oval shapes. The best ones, however, should accentuate the best asset in a woman. Versatile bangs that can be side swept as well as worn full head on can be achieved. The length should be between the eyelash and the brow.
Who said that those with small forehead would just have to forego having bangs? Asymmetrical fringe would look great on them. This should be cut in an angle that will touch the cheekbones and with a deep side part.
The perfect way to have bangs is when you have to hide a high forehead. Bangs that are heavy and side-swept are just right. The bangs should start at the center of the forehead. Photos Copyright of PR PHOTOS
Choosing the Right Hair Color
Choosing the Right Hair Color
As much that women love to accessorize, they also like to color their hair. Women update their hairstyles, and that includes their hair color by following the latest trends in hair color.
But there are some women, well, we can call them, adventurous, but their look is not totally suited for them. It is important that you have the right hair color to set the look. The right color will accentuate your look. The hair color will not overpower your personality that is shown in the way to dress up.
Eye colors play an important role in choosing the right colors. If your eyes belong to the cool eye color category, that means, blue, grey, deep brown, settle blond shades, ashy and golden colors. If your eyes are black, brown, green and hazel, settle for warm colors such the shades of red.
Skin type is also important. Dark hair colors are suitable for olive and dusky complexions. Those who have rosy cheeks will have no problem settling with red shade. The luckiest person on the planet in in terms of hair color would be the pale complexioned women. Any color will suit them quite perfectly.
If your personality is just out there, meaning, you are adventurous, you can always color your hair in sharp tints like red or purple but if you like subtle colors, better stick to the traditional shades. If you color your hair, make sure that you have it two shades darker when you are a blond or two shades lighter if you are a brunette.
You also need to determine what type of hair dye you want. There are some colors that are difficult to manage, for example, red. If you do choose this color, you better opt for a temporary dye. The rule is, when the color is good for you and is low maintenance, have it in permanent dye color.
Plaid, Fashion Trend For 2011
Plaid, Fashion Trend For 2010
This year has been all about plaid. There’s been everything from plaid shoes to plaid scarves in almost every color of the rainbow. But what can you do with plaid? Well, there’s loads of things! Plaid shirts have been around for the longest time—it’s only recently it’s been making a huge fashion statement. From blouses to tank tops, plaid has been in this year.
However, on one hand, there’s also a line between what counts as too much plaid or not quite enough. Here are a few tips to find out.
When it comes to plaid, you don’t want to wear a whole outfits worth of plaid. That is way too much, even if your outfit matches down to the exact pattern of plaid and colors.
A few options are:
One article of clothing. It can be either shorts or pants or a shirt or blouse. Make sure that your other articles of clothing are neutral colored or something that goes with the main colors in your plaid clothing.
A few accessories. Make sure that there aren’t any more than two accessories and that they match in color and pattern (some plaids are smaller and more intricate than others). An example would be a plaid bandana and perhaps plaid shoes. It’s not too much and not too little.
Also keep in mind that you should not mix patterns. Zebra stripes don’t go well with plaid and neither do any other prints. Remember to keep it simple when mixing and matching your clothing as well.

Buying Shirts for Your Little Girl 2010, 2011
Buying Shirts for Your Little Girl 2010, 2011 Tips
Clothing your little angel can be quite a task. Sometimes you put her in something super cute and adorable and then you wonder why exactly she starts getting upset and doesn’t want to wear it. However, you may want to look into what exactly you’re putting on her. Sometimes the cutest things are consequently the most uncomfortable.
1. Necklines. Different kids like different necklines. Some shirts, however, have the bad habit of having a much too high neckline. This can chafe and feel really scratchy against your daughter’s neck and make her not want to wear it. If she is tugging at the neck of her shirt, or begs not to wear that shirt, then you may want to look at the neckline. Most of the time, you can easily adjust it and resew the neckline much farther down to make it more comfortable for her.
2. Length. A shirt that is way too long and she finds herself sitting on can also be annoying, unless it is made to be sat on (for example, a tunic shirt). It might pull the front up or cause the sleeves to pull at her arms. The solution is to either get rid of the shirt, or make it a little bit shorter.
3. Long sleeves. Then there’s always that one long sleeve shirt. You put it on her and she starts wiggling, trying to get away. Maybe it’s that it’s too hot, or perhaps it’s something else. Maybe the sleeves are twisting up. Depending on the size of the shirt, it can be more or less difficult to untwist the sleeves to make her comfortable. Slightly baggier shirts are a little bit easier to fix.
Keep in mind that this is all based on preference. What may not bother one girl may drive another crazy.
Purse Party, Buy Handbags on a Budget, 2010, 2011
Purse Party, Buy Handbags on a Budget, 2010, 2011
Purse parties are a fun and cost effective way to get the latest designer styles for bargain basement prices. Despite the questionable lines of ethics and stigmas behind these estrogen fused gatherings, those who have experienced one will usually admit they had fun and found some great deals. What are the implications of purse parties? Are we fueling an unfair and unethical market, or is it just a guilty pleasure? The answer depends.
Purses purchased at purse parties are typically knockoffs of designer styles. Many times the outward quality of these purses is so accurate that it is difficult to decipher them from their real counterparts. This is appealing to fashionistas on a budget who want to designer look, but can’t pay the designer price. What is the real cost of buying one of these purses?
These knockoffs are frequently made in “sweat shop” type factories in developing countries where the workers may endure questionable working environments. Buying knockoff’s further enables the continued practice of substandard working conditions. The designs are also blatant rip-offs of a designer’s intellectual property and life’s work. There is no guarantee that the designer in question gave permission or even has knowledge that his/her hard work is being sold in this manner.
Additionally the purses, although outwardly stylish and indistinguishable from the original, are far inferior in quality. If the designer version costs $400 but will last for several years of use and abuse, is it worth buying a knockoff for $80 that might fall apart a month later?
While purse parties are fun, there are many factors to consider when supporting these companies. Only you can decide what you are willing to do for that latest designer trendy look.
Makeup Does Not Have To Be Inexpensive, 2010 & 2011 Tips
Makeup Does Not Have To Be Inexpensive
You hear all about these palettes of makeup that cost thirty dollars for four colors. It turns out to be a lot smaller than what you expected, doesn’t last long on your eyelid, and you hate the colors. But the thing is—you don’t have to deal with expensive eyeshadows and glamorous, overrated lipsticks. It’s just a matter of finding something inexpensive and worth your money.
One thing to keep in mind is that less expensive eyeshadows don’t have as much pigmentation—but that doesn’t mean that you can’t figure out a means of using this to your advantage.
How? PRIMERS! Eyeshadow primer, face primer, and various other types of primer are a great way to make your makeup pop without having to spend a bundle. There are plenty of ways to get your makeup to last.
Eye primers can get a bit expensive—but that’s another story. You can take advantage of samples and use alternatives. Some are: chapstick (this honestly doesn’t sound like a good idea, but it is worth a shot), concealer, Milk of Magnesia (for those with oily eyelids. If you don’t have oily eyelids, steer clear.), Vaseline, and even an Elmer’s glue stick (also not recommended) or you can find a cheap but good primer for only a dollar or two. Some eyeshadows come with primer, depending on what you buy. Keep in mind that these are usually tiny.
Face powder is also a cheap makeup primer. It doesn’t last too long, but it does help a lot.
Also, use the proper brushes when applying your makeup. Brushes normally only cost a few dollars and some come with your kits. For eyeshadow, especially, try and find a good brush instead of the applicators that come with the makeup. You may not get as much color pay off the second you apply the makeup, but as you apply a little bit more at a time, you can layer it as dark or light as you want.
Eye Makeup Brushes: Why You Should Trash Your Applicators
Makeup Brushes: Why You Should Trash Your Applicators
If you’ve ever seen a celebrity’s makeup and wondered “How do I get mine so subtle, so pretty, etc?”, then the proof is in the pudding. Or, in this case, the makeup brush. Here are a few reasons you should use a makeup brush:
1. Color payoff. If you’re sitting there and finding that every time that you try to apply a certain color you end up applying it way too dark and looking like you have a black eye, then a makeup brush will fix that. It also gives you the option of layering and darkening the eyeshadow.
2. Blending. Say that you were using something in your crease. Most of the time with a makeup applicator, it’s way too bold. With a regular makeup brush, you can blend the color so much that it looks almost invisible. The color will look darker, but in a much more subtle way.
3. Fallout. For deeper colors, you don’t have to worry as much when it comes to fallout. Fallout is random specks of makeup that are on your brush and then fall on your face. They can be foundation disasters and result in you having to redo your whole face if smeared into your foundation. With a brush, the product clings a little bit better with a lot less excess.
Alright, so say that you’re convinced that you want to use makeup brushes. How many will you need for your eyes?
In all honesty, you’ll only need two. One for eyeshadow and one for eyeliner. An eyeliner brush can be used for cream eyeliner, eyeshadow for your lash line, and a couple of other things. But other than that, you don’t need anything else to keep your eyes pretty and popping.
Oh Those Handbags, Compartment Syndrome
Oh Those Handbags, Compartment Syndrome
We have all been there. A purse is a very personal and important part of a girl’s life. We toil and agonize over our next “everyday” purse purchase. Our eyes glisten and our mouths salivate over the snips, clips, zips, pockets and pouches. The lining must be soft but supple. The straps must be the perfect length. Not to mention it has to just look cute.
So what’s with all the pockets and spaces and specially designated spots? They sucker me in every time! I look at my new potential shoulder buddy and I imagine how it will change my life. It has a spaces especially designed for my cell phone, mp3 player, pens and makeup. I could be the empress of organization! The contessa of clutter! All I have to do… is buy it.
Three months later, those pockets that once beckoned their promises of a better life are brimming with wrappers, receipts, ticket stubs and tampons. My cell phone? My mp3 player? Lost in the abyss of my life. Buyer’s remorse sets in and I realize that I am indeed a sucker for pockets.
After a self-intervention I said no more! I scoured department stores and designer boutiques with one goal in mind. No more compartments! After weeks of searching, I found a simple and stylish shoulder bag with just enough space for all my essentials. Instead of a compartment for the larger bulkier items, I purchased an additional wristlet to hold those little items that used to tinkle and jingle in every nook and cranny. The result? The simplicity and organization I have searched for my entire a life.
Choosing Accessories for Every Outfit, 2010 & 2011 Tips
Choosing for Every Outfit
One problem with choosing accessories is finding something that goes with every outfit that you have. Here are a few tips to spice up your outfits using accessories and for choosing the perfect accessories year round.
One thing to keep in mind when choosing accessories is that if you want them to go with almost anything, you want them to either be neutral or to have a lot of different colors in them so that they match almost anything.
For example, say that you had a choice between three necklaces. One is a pretty black necklace with a turquoise drop, the other is a soft brown leather necklace with amber drops and the last is a pink bead necklace.
Based on these choices, your best bet would be the leather necklace. Not only is the necklace itself neutral, but so is the amber. You can easily pair the necklace with other neutrals or blues or purples, or almost anything else that you would like.
Now, on the other hand, say that you had a green bead necklace and a rainbow necklace. Which would you choose?
The obvious option is the rainbow necklace. You are then able to pair it with any color or neutral that you wish, without the added problem of trying to match it.
However, this doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t buy necklaces that follow one color scheme—keep in mind that if your wardrobe follows a certain color scheme (say you look amazing in blue and so three-fourths of your wardrobe is blue), then you can purchase jewelry in that color scheme, or something close like purple or green. It’s all based off the color wheel—all it takes is a little bit of imagination and thought on your part.
