TIP OF THE DAY NO. 70 – THINGS TO REMEMBER

TIP NO. 70 – THINGS TO REMEMBER

1. If you wear make-up don’t try on clothes the day you don’t – without make-up the result will not be dependable.

2. When you are tired, it’s better not to wear black. Instead, put a lighter shade next to your face.

3. Prints or designs of any kind need simple, quiet accessories in solid tones.

4. Since long sleeves lead the eyes to your hands, pay attention to your manicure.

5. When wearing white – any garment in white – must be of good quality. A white garment in a cheap fabric will make you look that way.

See you tomorrow

TIP OF DAY NO. 64 – PREPARE FOR THE NEXT DAY

TIP NO. 64 – PREPARE FOR THE NEXT DAY

To avoid a thrown together look lay out everything that you intend to wear the next day before you go to bed. If a button is missing, if your suit needs a little touch-up pressing, if your shoes require polish, and to make sure that your outfit is well-coordinated — the night before is the time to do it. It is the best way to look well-groomed every day. And in the morning it allows you to dress without rushing or confusion. You can use the extra time for your make-up or enjoy a leisurely breakfast that will start you off on a better day!

TIP OF THE DAY NO.61 – EYE MAKEUP AND GLASSES

TIP NO. 61 – EYE MAKEUP AND GLASSES

Are you wearing glasses? I do – and I found out that my glasses can either enhance my eyes or not, depending on how well I have applied my eye makeup. 

After applying your eye makeup don’t just get up, put on your glasses and go. Instead before you leave your mirror, put your glasses on and check if everything is in the right place – no mascara on your eyelids; not too much eyeshadow; not a too heavy eye liner  –remember glasses magnify your eyes and show up any little fault.  

But the good news about wearing glasses is that it makes your eyes look bigger and if everything is in the right place, glasses add interest and often make a woman look sexy.

TIP OF THE DAY NO. 52 – THE IMPORTANCE OF EYEBROWS

TIP N0. 52 – THE IMPORTANCE OF EYEBROWS

Many makeup artists believe that it is the major feature in defining your face. And if you think of  famous stars, like Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor   Joan Crawford,  Brooke Shields, you see how true this is. 

What do your eyebrows do for your face?

You can change their shape by tweezing, waxing, and threading. You can change their color. You can even have hair implants to make them thicker. But whatever you do have a professional advise you  – most Nail Salons do it – and then there are salons which specialize in shaping eyebrows, and you can find them on-line.

It is worth a try – you will be surprised by the (positive) change.

See you tomorrow

TIP OF THE DAY NO. 48 – HELP FOR THIN HAIR

TIP NO. 48 – HELP FOR THIN HAIR

A PERM– I know this might sound very old fashion. It might make you think of your mother, your grandmother, or back to 1950 when most women had their hair permed. It is not an everyday thing anymore, and when  you  have thick hair  – why would you need it?

But then not everybody has thick hair including me – so I am  speaking from experience – and yes, there are literally hundreds of products out there which  supposedly make your hair thicker, and I have tried many fo them, but nothing has worked as well as a permanent every six months. It doubles the volume of my hair; making it fluffy, and curly if I want or I blow dry it.  It has body then and does not collapse into thin strands of hair.

Think about it and discuss it with your hairdresser – a body wave, as it called today  – can be the end of thin looking hair.

See you tomorrow

TIP OF THE DAY NO. 44 – NEVER SLEEP WITH YOUR MAKE-UP ON

TIP NO. 44 –  NEVER SLEEP WITH YOUR MAKE-UP ON

When at 89 my mother died, she still had beautiful, clear skin, and was often asked what her secret was. “Never going to bed with my make-up on” was her reply.

It is also said that your gens have something to do with good skin, but this being so or not, taking good care of your skin will keep it young and healthy looking. – and it is therefore, most important to keep it clean – to remove the pollution of the day – to give it rest,  a chance to breathe.

I know from experience that there are evenings I am so tired that I would rather just fall into bed, but making the effort not to, my face rewards me the next morning with looking healthy and fresh  —  your skin too will look better if you take your make-up off every night!

See you tomorrow
