Quick Tips To Dress Glamorously For Any Occasion
January 17, 2008
Recent research claims the average woman spends 90 minutes getting ready for a big night out. So how can one glam up in a hurry, be on time and still look gorgeous? Read On…
Quick Cleanse: Before start, give skin a quick cleanse and a little moisturizer. Cleansing wipes are ideal for getting rid of the grime. For extra speed and smoother application, mix a little of your moisturizer with your normal foundation.
Hair up Heaven: The 60’s hairstyle is still in season. Loosely take the top section of your hair and backcomb to give it height. Then gather your hair into a low ponytail and twist into a bun-securing with grips. Pull a few strands of hair. Finally spritz with hairspray to keep hair in place all night.
Brilliant Bronzer: Bronzer is perfect to pep up your skin tone and can double as an eye-shadow and lip gloss. The three magic places for bronzer are forehead, nose and chin as the areas that normally catch the sun. And a light dusting of bronzing powder with a big brush can also combat winter paleness.
Add Some Sparkle: Staring at the computer screen or running around after the kids all day can cause tired looking eyes. One tried and tested trick is to apply light shadow across the lids and the lower lash line. This creates a lightening effect and makes eyes appear larger.
Get Lippy: Gloss is much more forgiving than lipstick and easier to apply in a hurry, find one with an integral light and mirror then you can reapply it throughout the evening. As a rule, it is best to use lighter colors when applying in a rush as darker shades need a steadier hand and more attention to make them flawless.
Give Eyes A Good Lashing: For sexy lashes, heated eyelash curlers are your answer. They really open up the eye. For extra dazzle combine with double-ended mascara brushes which contain a white base coat at one end to thicken lashes, then apply a lengthening black coat on top. And if you apply your mascara first it will act as a setting agent for the curler-giving you perfect lashes all night long.
Tame Killer Heels: Wear your heels to the party but keep a pair of flats in your handbag to slip on at the end of the night when you are heading home. To keep your feet in dancing form try foot cushions. They stabilize your sole to prevent foot aches and back problems, plus they are cleverly designed to stop your weight tilting backwards, improving your posture and making you look slimmer in the bargain.
Under Control: Even a gorgeous designer dress can look ordinary with the right support underwear to ensure you in and out in all the right places.
Polish Up: Varnished nails make you look more groomed but can take hours. Try stick-on false nails for instant glamour but don’t expect them to last more than one evening.
Final Gloss: Apply a quick slick of clear gloss or Vaseline for any last minute tidying. It can be used everywhere. Try a little on unruly eyebrows, glossed lips, your collarbone and do the same on your calves to catch the light and create the illusion of slim, smooth legs.
