How to find your perfect look?

With so many different looks to choose from, finding the perfect look can be a difficult task to do. The meaning of the word ‘perfect’ differs from one person to another. Therefore, finding the perfect look means finding the look that will complement or suit your features the most.

I like to incorporate 3 main things when finding the right look. Firstly, realize the face features that you like the most. The fact is, most people remember a person’s face through a feature that stands out most. So, take this to your advantage. Create your own signature look. For instance, if eyes are your best feature, play them up. Try different looks by using different eye shadows and eyeliner techniques such as tight lining (a technique where eyeliner is applied as closest to the eyelashes using short strokes) for that natural look, or cat eye- lining for that subtle but lengthening or even for a more dramatic look. If cheekbones are your best feature, don’t hide them. Instead, rock them by using contouring technique. Similarly with your lips, you can plump them up by using lip liner and a dot of lip-gloss, just in the middle. 

Secondly, what is your personal style? Adjust your look to your style. If you have a girly style, you probably want to stay away from dark lips. Use bright lips instead. Not only it makes a statement, it will also freshen up your complexion. Just remember, sometimes less is more. If you play up your eyes a lot, you want to steer clear from very thick eyebrows or bright lips. The key here is to balance everything out.

Thirdly, are you going to be comfortable with your new look? Make sure you do because this is very crucial. If you are not comfortable wearing it, you won’t enjoy it. You might even erase your makeup the moment you leave your house. In that case, why waste your time applying it?

NOTE: Everyone has our own best features. If you haven’t found yours, look closer. I can guarantee you; if you look deep enough, you will be surprise of what you can find.    

Here are some examples that might inspire you in finding your look. Which one relates to you more?


The natural look

The subtle smokey look

The more dramatic look

Which statements do you believe in?

Some people believe that beauty starts from the outside and leads to the inside. Others believe that it starts from the inside and leads to the outside. I personally believe that a beautiful person is someone who has a beautiful heart and it shines through on the outside. 

You can have the prettiest appearance on earth but what does all that means without a good heart? The pleasant appearance will not change the fact that some people might be uncomfortable and feeling unpleasant being around you. 

I just recently started this blog and I feel so thrilled to share my journey with all of you. My name is Jesika and I have a big passion for beauty. I started my journey as a self- thought aspiring Makeup Artist when I was 14 Years Old. By the time I reached 19, I realized my potential and decided to pursue my hobby and that was when I took a course in Makeup.

During that period, my skin was in a horrible condition. I suffered from a disease that required me to be injected with synthetic hormone for a good 2 years. My skin broke out so badly. It was so terrible that all the scars were pitted. What hurts me the most is, I could not consume any medicine for my acne as it could cause complications. Therefore, all I did was just taking care of it on the surface, applying different creams for the acne.

You can imagine how hard it was for me to go out there, do makeup for models and looking nasty with all my big pimples and daunting pitted scars. However, it all didn't stop there. I started to learn more about my skin and tried to learn to love myself despite the skin condition.

Without any doubt, it’s easy to conceal those pimples and scars pretty well with makeup, but I preferred to kill it all from the source. I started to eat healthier, tried different solutions and have a healthy lifestyle in general. I admit that it was tough, but well worth the effort. 

I really love my job as a Makeup Artist because I can make women feel their prettiest. Also, meeting new awesome people is always a plus. 

However, throughout my journey, I realized that lots of women out there forget the true value of themselves. Some of them do not feel confident about their appearance, even though, I believe to most people, they are considered as good- looking women. The whole focus was centered on the appearance rather than their great personality and achievements. This world is now focusing more on the outside and these women are trapped in their own world, thinking that their appearance is not as great as others. The way I see it, it looks more like a competition.

But really, everyone was born differently. You might not have the best looking skin, but surely you have other features that set you apart from the others. No one is perfect. Trying to perfect yourself is a never ending task. Your perception of a perfect appearance will surely be different from the others.

Let me show you an example, as you probably know by now, I do not have the best looking skin. But you know what; I’m rocking it and I love myself so much because I know that I have a really nice set of eyes. And even if I do not have those eyes, at least I know that I have a heart that is fearful of hurting others. And yes, personality matters.

I started this blog to inspire everyone that beauty on the outside is not everything. Start from the inside, beautify your personality, and realize your true potential and you can surely see the difference. You are beautiful for who you are.

I will be sharing beauty looks, product reviews, tips on makeup and it goes without saying, a motivational article that hopefully can change the way we perceive ourselves. 

For now, let us all list all the good stuff about ourselves. What do you like about yourself in terms of appearance and personality? What makes you a unique individual in terms of your personality?

Much Love,

Jesika
