5 Beauty & Fashion Tips to Boost Your Confidence
We’ve all had those days where we have felt less than stellar.
Although true beauty and confidence come within, a little extra pampering or sparkle can certainly help you take on the day.
So here are 5 beauty and fashion tips that are sure to help boost your confidence.
1. Unleash the Power of Red
Red lipstick tells the world that you have something to say, and they better pay attention! Red has been the power color for millennia; it has even been said the Cleopatra herself preferred this hue. Luckily for us, we have more options than ground up beetles. There is a multitude of reds in a shade and formula that is right for you. Studies have shown that red lipstick projects power, and that men link female attractiveness with the color red. It is a quick swipe that will let the world know that you are beautiful and battle ready!
2. Let it Drop
Bad hair days happen. Unfortunately, they always happen when you need to look your best. On those days when you can’t get a professional blowout or the humidity is just too much, grab a pair of drop earrings. Pull your hair back into a tight bun, add a pair of beautiful drops, or any other kind of statement earring, and you will look perfectly polished…and right on trend!
3. Exfoliate
Exfoliation makes your skin happy. It removes dead skin cells, but it also stimulates blood flow. Increased blood flow makes you look and feel better! While a fabulous spa body polish would be more than enough to get anyone glowing, there is something as simple as a hand or face scrub that can brighten your day. Just be sure to ask a beauty professional what product is right for you! Extra bonus if the bath and beauty products are citrus or lavender scented. These scents are proven to boost moods.
4. Add a Pop of Color
All Black seems to be the fashion default. It is easy, chic, and hides a multitude of sins. However, color can lighten the mood and elevate your look. When skies are gray, wear a brightly colored top. Fall 2015 is showing lots of jewel tones in flattering teals and purples. Not only do these colors make skin tones look good, but they also alter moods and perceptions. Break out of a neutral rut!
5. Make it Sparkle
There are a million opinions on when and where to wear glitter. Some people say to reserve for the evening, some people say that women over 25 shouldn’t wear it, and some people say to keep it subtle.
All of those people are wrong.
Glitter is a great way to shine on even the gloomiest of days. A swipe of glitter eyeliner adds an element of fun to your make up routine, and when you catch the sparkle out of the corner of your eye… it feels almost magical. Give your life some unexpected glamor!
While no one should be held to impossible standards, there is power in beauty. Taking a few extra seconds to focus on YOU can help boost your confidence and give you the power you need to take on the world.
Looking good helps you feel good.
And when you help others look good? That feeling is priceless.
