What to Do about a Bad Hair Day

Are you having one of those days where no matter what you do, your hair just looks terrible? Here's how you can go from bleak to chic in only 1 minute!

Ingredients:

Solid black soft baseball cap

Black t-shirt, turtleneck, or blouse

Jeans of your choice

Black belt

Black shoes, boots, or thongs of your choice

Faux diamond earring studs

Black mascara

Lipstick, gloss, or something luscious on your lips

Make-up Starting Point?

Are you clueless about make-up and not sure where to begin? Well, don't freak out. Keep it simple if you're not sure. Less is more when you're just starting out. Try this.

Ingredients:

Concealer - Put under your eye with a dab on your eyelid

Powder - Evens out your complexion and covers minor blemishes. Also gives your T-zone a matte finish

Basic black mascara - Will enhance the whole eye by highlighting your eyelashes

Blush - Use something soft and subtle. Powder is better than cream

Lipliner - Gives emphasis to your lips

Sheer gloss or lipstick - Brightens the lips and illuminates your whole face

Apply in the order listed above for a sexy, sassy, and simple look. If you're not sure what colors to pick, choose "neutrals". Some major cosmetic brands (e.g., Max Factor) say "neutral" right on the package.
