about

Hello! I am studying esthetics at an Aveda Institute after spending years in retail. I am proof that nothing turns out how you think it will, and that's a good thing. When you think you've got it figured out, you don't. Life would be boring otherwise, right?
Makeup, skincare, and psychology are my passions and I'm also happy to give advice on relationships, particularly for teenagers (so many things I wish I could have told myself a decade ago!) I'm happy to help fellow abuse survivors as well.
I'm a diehard SF Giants fan and also enjoy watching the Sharks and Niners. Addicted to music, especially The Gaslight Anthem. Oh, and my name is Krista. :)

Hello,

So i have decided that i wanted to spice up my life and change how I looked and the style that I currently have just to make me feel confident about myself. I want to look sexier and more fun.

My question is what sorts of things could I do. I want to get a hair cut and change how that looks since i have had the same hair cut for the passed... 6 or 7 years haha,

I also wanted to change the style of clothing just to look sexier. Now, i do have smaller breasts, but thats NOT gonna stop me. =) I just need things that appeal to smaller breasts that's all.

So, please let me know thanks. I will attach a picture just to help ya out.

For the hair...keep it long, but go for something with a little more volume and layers, maybe some side bangs.

For makeup, less is more.
Try a very, very small amount of black eyeliner (blended as close to your lashes as possible) and nude gloss for day. It's a lot more subtle and sexier.
Nude gloss:

For night you could try a smoky eye. Instead of the traditional black/grey, try a color like purple. Again, less is more. Here's how:
- Line your eyes using a very very thin line. Line your upper inner rims and lower inner rims as well.
- Apply a light, shimmer highlight color, like champagne or white, to the inner corner of your eye and your browbrone.
- Now apply an eyeshadow trio, starting with the darkest at your lashline. Apply a small amount of the darkest shade under your lower lashline.
- Blend, blend, blend!
- Curl your eyelashes and use black mascara.
Again, nude gloss will work for you with this look.
Try this palette, will last forever and has really good colors:

(The "Brown Eyes" one)
Or this trio:

(Comes out darker than it looks- but skip the green)
With a highlighting shade like this:

I recommend Smashbox or Covergirl Lashblast mascara.

For clothes, simple is sexier, you don't wanna look like you're trying too hard! Like with the makeup, pick one area you want to show off- legs, boobs, stomach, whatever. Dark jeans are better, and shoes make all the difference. Heels and earrings can make jeans and a tank top look sexy.

Colors that are good on you: White, red, navy blue, black


Biggest thing: confidence. Smile! You look so unhappy in that picture. Walk like you know you're hot, that's really what guys like.

Let me know if you need any more help, especially with the makeup- I loooove makeup and can do a tutorial and send you pics so you know exactly what to do.
