Question About Fashion (i suppose)
Okay, i liked your advice on skirts, i was wondering if you had any other advice for wearing clothes. Im kind've a tomboy so i like to wear baggy clothing (sometimes), i was also wondering for make-up what to wear i usually wear brown eyeliner, but i wanted to do something more, and as for my hair too, i wear it down all the time. I wanted to change up my looks for the new year and be more interesting haha.

Hi there :)
Okay this answer might be a little long.
For your clothes:
If you've got a great girly curves, show them off! You can stay true to your tomboy style
but also jazz it up a bit! Try fitted shirts.
They don't have to be from Hollister or Abercrombie, just buy shirts that YOU think
are cute, but also flatter your body.
For example:
If you have broad shoulders, stay away from
high collared shirts like polos and crew necks, instead go for v-cuts and ballet tops)
If you want to change things up, but keep
it edgy, go for patterns and layers! Plaid
is great when paired with a solid top, same
for bold stripes.
For pants, try darkwash jeans for a casual
look. Also, get more flattering jeans to your body as well. You can do this by simply buying
your size, and not bigger sizes. This will dramatically enhance the look of your legs just by getting the correct size.
Bermuda cut jeans would also
work, again for the slimming factor go for
the darker wash denim. If you are okay with
the size/shape of your legs, experiment with
different colors of denim until you find one
that you like best, or mix them all up!
Also, jackets and accessories can totally
make or break an outfit. I personally love
layering shirts then tying it all together
with a big, bold belt.
Big chunky jewlrey is also still in
as well as long necklaces.
Go for a tight necklace with a bold
color to easily add pizzaz to a
boring casual outfit. As for jackets,
fitted jackets (as apposed to hoodies) also
enhance the look if done right. I
personally love the color combo
of black, gold, and green. I wear a black
polo, a fitted olive green jacket over,
then I wear a gold belt where the bottom
of the jacket meets the shirt. Many people
have complimented me on this, maybe you
should try it with your own favorite color
combination.
Now onto makeup.
Your make up doesn't have to be the
same everyday, change things up. Fashion
is ever changing and you have to keep up!
You could do the smokey eye look by
applying dark eyeliner of your choice
and smudging it with a smudge brush then
finishing it off with mascara.
For a light and natural look, line
half of your bottom lid (either on the inner
lid or along the lashes)with eyeliner
(either black, brown, or deep gold) Then
apply a shadow (the color can depend on your
skin tone, I'll have some notes about that
at the bottom) right above your
top lash line, then slowy fade that
color out as you move up your lid. Once
again finish it up with mascara.
If your eyes are small, line
the inner lids (upper and lower) with
white eyeliner then go about whichever
makeup method you chose.
Foundation/base is not mandatory.
I personally don't like it because
it never helps me much and makes me
breakout more. If you like it, go for it.
Just be sure to fully blend in the color
all the way down to your neck to avoid
embarrasing lines.
Blush is great as well.
Do a color thats a tad bit darker then
your skin tone. Then dust the poweder over
your apples of your face. (The squishy
parts when you smile)
For your lips, if you have
braces I don't recommend lipstick or
a dark colored gloss. This can make your
mouth look very cheap and tacky.
If you do have braces, try a sheer
glossy color thats just a tad darker
then your natural lip color. Or
you can just go for a clear gloss.
Remember, always use chapstick.
Tip: if you think your nose is too
large, dust a powder darker then your
skin tone along the sides of the nose
to enhance the shadow effect. This will
make the nose appear smaller.
Now onto your hair.
Is it straight or wavey?
When you wear it down (if its straight)
try curling it with a 1" curling iron.
You could also do the beach look
by scrunching it.
You could also try a half up
look. Try curling the ends of your
hair under to create a whole new look.
Or if your hair is wavey,
invest in a flat iron to add
some spark into your hair.
Messy buns are cute if not
over done as well. I'm not sure
how much time you're willing to
spend on your hair so heres a

SKIN TONES & COLORS:
Olive: go for greens and golds.
African American: you can pretty much pull off any color.
Pale: pinks and peaches.
Tan: deep greens, browns, and cream colors.
Now if you don't know how
to do any of the things I mentioned
just inbox me and I'll fill you in.
Good Luck :D
