Are you a busy woman that lacks the time to devote to an intricate fashion and beauty regimen? No fear! I’ve put together a few quick tips for the FEARLESS woman on the go. 

What works best

Do you know what works best for your body type? As an Image Specialist I suggest selecting garments that are best suited for your frame.

• Petite women- If you have a short neck avoid wearing high collared clothes and short necklaces. To elongate your neck, try an appropriate v-neck garment and a long necklace that falls few an inches above your navel.
• Pear shaped (heavy on the bottom)-Wear a lighter color on top and a darker shade on your lower body. The focal point becomes the lighter colored top while your bottom half goes unnoticed.
• Apple shape (heavy on the top)-Avoid tops with a lot of detailing and ruffling. Keep it simple and clean with soft flowing fabrics.

Fabulous Eyebrows

Often the underdog, many women allow eyebrows to go unmanaged but groomed eyebrows are a key feature in adding definition to a beautiful face. There are many different options in brow grooming that will leave your brows gorgeous.

Grooming tips

• NEVER wax or pluck eyebrows the day of an event. Always do it 3 days prior in the result that redness or unexpected irritation occurs.
• Although eyebrow razors are sold, shaving should be avoided. The area near your brows is very delicate and the skin is thinner than many places on your face and body. Don’t risk getting scraped or cut.
• Use a pair of slant edge tweezers which grips hairs easily. Comb hair one way and then the other to remove loose hairs then pluck each hair individually close to the root, working in the direction of the growth.
• AVOID dark eyebrow pencils that create a magic marker effect. Opt for a medium to dark brown pencil and avoid heavy color at the base of the brow.

A Love for Color

Are you afraid of accentuating your lips with color? Learn what color is best suited for your skin tone.

• Deep plum, chocolate or red is fabulous with dark skin. Women of color have the ability to go in two directions: Chocolate or wine. Think caramel or walnut for day, and plum or wine for evening.”
• Those with a medium skin tone can go a bit darker. You’ll look great in roses or berries. Avoid bright reds and opt for a deep burgundy instead.
• Women with fair skin look great in lipstick shades such as nudes in a slightly apricot shade, pinks and light corals. Stay away from darker tones.

Natural skin care remedies

Want great skin without investing in expensive products? Try two home remedies that will be sure to leave your skin luxurious.

• If you have problems with oily skin, thinly slice an apple into a few pieces. Take the apple slices and gently rub them in a circular motion into your face. The apple slices cleanse the pores of your skin therefore controlling the release of oils.
• To achieve a natural flawless glow, Use a medium sized container and combine milk and honey. Stir the contents until it becomes a creamy substance. Then apply it onto your face like a mask (avoiding the eye’s) allowing it to sit for 15 minutes, before washing it off with lukewarm water.

Now go forth and be gorgeous!
