Just want to be Pretty!

POGTFO

Some salons offer make up services and will do lessons, you might pick up a couple of tips that might work for you.

Its not shallow. With feeling pretty comes confidence. I was ALOT more confident, and loved myself more when I was at a lower weight, which I thought was pretty.

Happy girls is what makes us pretty girls.


You can do this! Its easy to learn..


Just start you tubing hair tutorials. Even a small braid will look like you did something special to your hair.

As for makeup, ALWAYS wear eyeline WITH mascara. I pout when I see girls that dont have mascara on with eyeliner. DONT go too dark if your lighter skin toned. DONT wear overly too much foundation and glossy lips if you are not used to being "dolled up". A little eyeliner and mascara goes a long way!

Clothing.. thats harder.. You kinda have to play with it. somepeople look adorable in things, some dont. Look at the mannicnes in the stores! Try and base what you wear after them. They usually look pretty well put together. If you wear a tshirt, try adding a long necklace, and pumps, itll make even a simple tshirt look more dressy.

Heels, make you look slimmer. V neck, sliming neck/face effect.

cosmotology school?

Well, it takes a lot of practice. You can also youtube a lot of tips and watch how to do everything, especially makeup.

Products are important as well. Quality hair and makeup products. Foundation and primer especially.

Take a whole day to just practice. You will get it.

Go out get your hair did, shave completely and get a facial or two... I hear its good for the skin

Good question... I'm a tom boy... my hair goes up in a pony tail and I throw on shirts and pants. Most the time I skip the make up, and when I do, I don't have the slightest idea how to make it look exciting, its just... there? But at least it's not over done!

I tried to do the girly girl thing for my nephew's wedding. My three sisters have it down pat. I bought a nice skirt, nail polish, make up, got my hair cut. And no one noticed or said anything. So I figure why bother. At 54 it isn't going to make any difference in my life anyway. I don't work outside the home, don't date. So I guess I will continue to be a tomboy!

I totally know how you feel! I was the exact same way until a couple of months ago. I decided I was tired of being out and seeing all the other girls look cute and knowing I looked plain and like I didn't even try (because I didn't)! I made a "new years resolution" except it wasn't new years lol, to put more effort into my appearance. I get up just a little earlier each morning to pick out a nice outfit (or plan it the night before) and I take the time to do my hair and use just a little make-up. One thing I've found I really enjoy doing to my hair is curling it with a curling iron and then brushing it out for soft waves. I get a lot of compliments now!

I've just never been the type of girl that's really into that shallow stuff, but I must say I do feel more confident when I'm out and about now. Just remember that you are already pretty - beautiful, actually - and putting in extra effort is just a bonus

Check out pinterest and youtube for hair and make-up tips, I've learned a lot that way!

I'm with you! I am def lacking in the outfit category! Mainly because I feel like you need money to look good and secondly jeans and shirts are just sooo much easier! lol Make-up goes on only when I go out! lol And its browns and neutral colors! lol

Trust me...all you need is CherryBomb Lipgloss and Mascara.

Accentuate the lips and eyes...make em pop.

Throw some curlers in your hair.

Wear some sexy heels....jeans and low cut Tshirt........and perfume (Coach Poppy)

VOILA!!!!

It doesn't take alot. It can be overwhelming though to think about making alot of changes to your appearance all at once. Start by googling things and looking thru magazines at things that YOU like. Circle them, and go copy the style!
Also, a little mascara and some pretty lipstick can go a long way.
Make notes of what other people are wearing and what you like about the styles. I am constantly stealing ideas and passing them off as my own! :laugh:

And wait...why is it shallow to want to look your best and put your best foot forward? Looking good on the outside can play amazing tricks with your mind. There have been days when I was feeling down and all it took was putting on a cute outfit and doing my hair and make up and my outlook changed. There is nothing shallow about that. Feeling good about yourself and looking good are very much related. And looking good is all in the eye of the beholder so it means different things to different people.

I'm very similar, except I don't wear any makeup at all. I have my ears pierced 12 times and don't wear jewelry of any kind. I don't know what area you are in, but I went to ULTA and they did my makeup for me and showed me how to do it. I still feel like I'm 10 and playing with mom's makeup when I try though.

Ditto on youtube, there are tutorials on everything!! Plus product reviews.... And people show swatches of makeup colors. It is probably going to be a bit of trial and error to figure out what you like, but it is fun. And you can always use it as motivation to reach one of your goals (5 lbs = new lipstick, etc). It's fun. Also, do you already use nailpolish? If not, maybe an easy thing to try since there is no special skill needed... And don't have to worry about matching colors to anything really.... You can have it done at a salon once to see how they do it, then after that do it at home... Or go to salon as reward for reaching goals, etc, etc... Have fun!!

I is purty...oh and callie is gorgeous. just sayin'

Hahah Thanks Cliff.
