Makeup is the easiest and most temporary way to test out a new look, because if you wind up hating it–just wash yer face!
You have so many options with makeup that it can kind of seem overwhelming. A good option? Grab a pal and hit up one of the counters at the mall and give some different looks a test run. The artist can show you not only what colors flatter you the most, but how to apply it to look best. It’s a great way to match your foundation and learn to blend it perfectly or learn how to finally get the perfect smoky eye.
Note: Sometimes the artist will pressure you in making a purchase you’re unsure about. This is where your BFF comes in! Let the artist know you want to see how it looks in natural light first and request samples of the items she used on you. When you go outside, check yourself out in a mirror. Does everything still match up nicely? Does your BFF agree that it looks good and not too clowny? If so, plunk down yer pennies on the stuff worth splurging on: Perfectly matching foundation and concealer. You may also consider snagging some quality brushes, because they’ll last forever and help your makeup look flawless. Check out what the artist uses, but be sure to do your homework–you may find the same stuff cheaper online, so don’t feel pressured to buy them right then and there.
Save your cash on the other stuff. Generally with eyeshadow, liner, lip gloss, blush, and mascara, drugstore brands are a lot cheaper but don’t look any different!

Supplies For The Dumped 
i have recently started to wear weave o.O LOL , but i’ve been getting tons of compliments on it (y) and i guess i’ve been trying out a girl look since i’m usually tomboyish . so i’d say transforming myself has been a great experience .
Ive got really red hair and pale skin (i wont tan, ughh, sooo annoying!), but i don’t really like my hair, i want to dye it but i dunno what color i should go… Any ideas??
Don’t we all wish we had Jennifer Aniston’s hair? No matter what the style, it aawlys looks amazing.I aawlys think I want bangs and then I end up regretting it and pinning them back 90% of the time. If you are’t like that though, I think bangs would look nice!
I love all the cuts. Similar but some have that a-line to it. I think you’ll look beautiful with eehtir one! I’m so not good when it comes to color since I have zero experience in coloring my hair, but I know whatever you choose will look lovely!
I have brown hair and when ever I get blonde high lights they always end up showing my roots later maybe if I highlight all my layers except for the very top would it look better growing back?
I’m a natural blonde but i just dyed my hair purple and it looks awesome!!!
me and my BFF both have natural blonde hair but we both are dying it lighter (well i already died mine) it look awesome!
Should I dye my hair hot pink?
Depends if you have dark hair like dark brown or black i would say just get some streaks or the tips of your hair done but if you lighter hair like blonde or light brown maybe dip dying would look good. If you are into the “scene” look then a whole head of pink hair would look epic! Really up to you but if you want to see how it looks first you can always just buy some temporary hair dye, coloured hair spray or you can Google virtual hair or something along those eyes. There are so many websites that can help you, the basic idea of the websites is that you can try different hair styles and colours on a photo without actually cutting or dying your hair.
Hope this helps

if you change your eyebrow shape it can make a lot of difference:) after summer you usually look different anyway e.g your hair is longer(noticeably) and your probably more tanned. ^ and for acne or just spots in general put toothpaste on them and keep the skin clear in the day
My Hair iz a werid color of brown and iz the same color as my eyez so Im dying my hair bright red (not to bright) with black streaks
I plan on going punk this year!! <3
I like all of this advice on changing your style, but for me when school starts again, I have to wear uniforms! Even though I go to a public school…
Same! Jeez schools are so annoying anyways remember u can add a scarf to your outift (school colours or a white or black scarf are acceptable) make sure the scarf is fashionable and not thin to make a statement, also long single necklaces are awesome and cute jackets in school colours… I also add stockings with fun patterns and ballet flats instead of school shoes. Check with teachers or uniform description to see what you can get away with wearing. Google Aria Montgomery (pretty little liars) because even though she doesnt wear uniforms her outfits are always really cute and easy to translate to a uniform. Depending on your school you might even be able to get away with a pair of nice boots (below the knee I guess) and even some long, extravagant earrings.
Hope this helps

- I have never, ever dyed my hair. My mom always desreibcd hair coloring like it was an addiction and therefore evil. Moms are great for that sort of thing. But, if I ever were to brave my mom’s wrath, I think I’d dye it ridiculously RED. Like crazy red, and then maybe I’d get comments on my hair and not my kids for a change. =)October 21, 2010 10:17 AM
Like a girl on fire! Nice!
i really wanna get bangs but im not sure how it’ll look and I have oily skin so it wouldn’t help my acne situation but then they’d cover up my acne so no one would be able to see my acne
i am cutting mine to because mine are as long as my hair and my hair is pretty long .. LMAOO!! <3 and just sop you know .. i think that would be an amzing idea to cut your bangs
I’m cutting my bangs! And I want to add more “grown-up” attire to my wardrobe. I’m tired of looking like a high school and I want to get into a sorority.
