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?
