How can you really stand out from the crowd?

What’s the one thing that will draw women’s eyes upon you? (without effort…)

Give up?

It’s color...

In fact, it’s not color… it’s color matching.

When you make a great color combination, you’ll really feel what it’s like to have people admire you.

If you start wearing a nice shirt or a tie, you’ll look good but you still won’t hit a home run.

BUT, if you wear a great color combination… that’s another story, isn’t it?

The color combination That always Working With

 This color wheel will help you too.

Let’s start with the color wheel. Do you remember it from grade school? If not, here’s a picture of it. You’ll see why we need it in a second.

Full color wheel

Let’s throw in some notions about colors. Red, yellow and blue are called the primary colors. Any other color is a combination of these three

The secondary colors are green, orange and purple. Mix any two primary colors in equal proportions to get them

Two colors that are next to each-other on the color wheel are called analogous…

… and color that are on opposite sides of the wheel are complementary

OK, now let’s see the color matching rules, that are BASED on the color wheel

Remember these 2 Rules Forever and Ever

Analogous colors go well together only when they have the same level of intensity.

Complimentary colors create high contrasts

. Be careful which ones you wear because some shades don’t go very well with one another. In general, complimentary colors go well together. Just make sure you avoid the red and green combination. You don’t want to look like an elf…

When you start to actually match your clothes, you need a lot more rules than the two above. Color intensity, luminosity and the colors’ shades need to be taken into consideration. However that’s not something you need to learn by heart.

Once you have the fundamentals handled, you need to start looking at stylish outfits to train your eye to feel what works and what doesn’t.

Good luck...

Fashion for Girls in Monsoons

It rains cats and dogs during the monsoons. Along with other little worries, one thing that fails to ease the nerves of the youngsters is- “What do I wear?”…

Monsoons create greenery all over. So, earthly colours and the season of rains go hand in hand. Here are a few things the youngsters can try to experiment with fashion and monsoons…

1. Fabrics
Fabrics like chiffon, linen and synthetic cotton are recommended by the experts. Cotton is very slow when it comes to drying. It doesn’t dry off easily, so one must avoid wearing cotton clothes. Stick to lighter clothes. Fabrics like chiffon, linen and synthetic cotton are recommended by the experts. Linen fabrics stay wet for a longer time and are likely to get crushed easily.

2. Colours
Veteran designers and fashion experts suggest one must stick to dark earthly colours like green, blue, black and brown. These colours avoid transparency, which remains a main concern for the young girls. Bright colours add up to the look, thus making one look fresh. Though orange and yellow are initially summer colours, their brighter shades boost the look.

3. Style
Monsoon is not meant for traditional look. Girls should keep it short and simple. Short is sweet, and knee length skirts would vouch for that. Knee-length Carpi pants with dark t shirts call for a trendy combination. These capris help avoid the unwanted mud. Denims must be avoided, since they soak in water and become heavy. They take a lot of time to dry. Cropped pants look classy when teamed up with a funky t shirt.

4. Hair style
Hair styles should be kept simple. Tying up the hair in a bun or a pony tail is the easiest hair style. Pixie cut and bob cut are best suitable hair cuts for this season. Too many complications in the hair style can spoil the hair and lead to its breakage. Short is sweet is the rule here. Shorter the length of the hair, the easier are they to maintain during monsoons.

5. Footwear
Plastic boots always help for the footwear. The plastic ballerina shoes with pores are perfect for the rains. They are stylish and durable. On the other hand, leather shoes can get spoilt very easily. Plastic slippers and sandals are suitable for monsoons. One should avoid wearing socks as they not only disturb the comfort, but also help the feet smell bad.

6. Makeup
Makeup must be minimum and water proof. Too much of makeup is likely to cause a bad looking face. It should be kept natural. The cosmetics and the water together spoil the face, changing its colour.

7. Umbrellas and rain coats
Not to forget, in the end, classy umbrellas and jackets are most important. Bright shades in rain coats, jackets and umbrellas go with everything. A variety of prints are available in umbrellas. Bright colours in umbrellas are catchy and stylish. Rain coats have a distinguished variety. Some rain coats have a formal look, while the others can be worn as sports jackets. Ponchos protect the dress in the most effective way.

So set yourself free this monsoon and experiment all these styles. Fashion and rains can very well go together hand in hand.

Get Started as a Teen Model

Teenage is one of those stupendously carved phases of life which takes in a lot of comprehensions. Teens neither fall into the category of children nor adults. So, making decisions is always a dilemma for them. But who says dreaming big costs? One thing that teens are best at is indeed “Dreaming”. Identifying a practical one and turning it into reality, is what we would peep into, today. Getting started as a teen model and subsequently entering the glamour industry seems like a passionate cakewalk to them. But, one must take it for granted that if it’s not that easy, then it’s not that difficult either. Teens must simply have that right passion and courage to cross every hurdle coming their way, courtesy their hard-work.

The very first step to put your best foot forward in the entertainment and fashion industry is to get a perfect portfolio created. A local photographer for such a task is highly non-preferable. A professional photographer, who has a sufficient experience in getting models posed, is who you need to put your next quest for. Make sure if you’re a female model, you take a guardian along when you’re up for meeting an agent.

Next is the fitness factor; it largely varies from the kind of work you’re applying for and the agency you’re looking forward to. But conventional fitness attributes require a standard height, weight and measurements alike. Most importantly, your height should be in just the right proportion to your weight.

It is extremely important that if you’re planning to apply as a teen model, you exactly know how to carry yourself perfectly; carrying your personality confidently in the costume you’ve been provided with. Even if there is some level of discomfort in what you’re wearing, it should never uphold on your face. Rather, the grace and elegance should overcome all the troubles you’re facing in regard to your dress. Furthermore, it goes without saying that you’re just not camera conscious and suffer from no sort of phobia that could prove to be a hindrance in your performance.

It is essential that when you go for your portfolio snaps, you get every possible pose of yourself; with and without makeup, close up and long shot, sitting and standing, left and right profile, natural and artificial hair-do, which indirectly says every single pose you can think of. Know for a fact that the more number of efficient photographs one has, more are the chances to get through.

Last, but not the least, getting a break in the glamour industry at teenage opens a lot of doors in the adulthood, provided you’ve driven home laurels for impressing your directors. And, it is a well proven fact that a person who has a remarkable experience in the industry at such a young age, he/she is bound to have a better scope and exposure than the one who has just started in the industry in adulthood.

So, let the magic cast its spell on you. May angels encircle their wands over you! Give your dream a chance to prove that it is worth it! Wish you great luck!

Basic Makeup Tips

There are situations when there’s hardly any time and you need a quick fix to get your appearance right for a party or an evening out. Then there are times when you don’t know what kind of look you are exactly looking for. It is important to understand that makeup is more about skin than about anything else. Beautiful skin can take you a long way. If your skin looks dry or oily, even a perfect mascara or lip gloss cannot help. Here are some basic makeup tips that you can keep in mind.

1. Moisturize

Moisturizers make your skin look supple and conceal any dryness or itchiness. They should be applied in the correct quantity and they must suit your skin type. Otherwise, your skin can look too oily and you surely don’t want that! This can become a base for all the other makeup that you want to put on. The trick is to remember to let the moisturizer dry completely. Otherwise, your makeup will be runny and will not serve the purpose it is meant to serve in the first place!

2. Conceal

Concealing can help give you a fresh, taut look. Dark circles under your eyes, black holes or pores – all can be concealed in a matter of seconds. The trick is to choose the right shade of the product that you want. The colour should match the tone of your skin to prevent any unevenness in terms of skin colour at least. A smooth and flawless complexion can be obtained by the right kind of concealer.

3. Powder

Matte powder works wonders! By using the kind of matte powder that suits your concealer, you can keep it on for longer and look fresher for a prolonged period. Powder should almost disappear on your skin. Nobody should be able to realize that you have used it. Neutral colours generally work well with all skin types. They are dark enough to cover but light enough to make you look as natural as possible.

4. Curl and Colour

This is for the eyes only. Before using mascara, use a curler so that your eyelashes automatically appear longer. Next, apply the mascara in thin coats on your lashes till you get the dark, pumped-up look that you want. Make sure that before applying the next coat of mascara, you wait for the previous coat to dry.

5. Gloss

Your lips need to look good too, yes? Decide the kind of look you want to go for. Is it elegant, sexy, professional or something else? You do not want to give any wrong messages – apply a moderate quantity of gloss and keep it simple. Pout while applying the gloss so it evenly spreads on all the corners of your lips.

6. Blush

Add a little bit of volume to your cheeks as well. It is upon you if you want a rosy colour or a natural colour. The point is to give the cheeks the glow that the need. Apply a few strokes of blush in light circular motions and your face will glow in no time. You might want to try several different shades to judge which one finally goes best.

How to Choose the Right Spectacle Frame for Self?

Ever imagined Gandhiji without specs? Or Netaji Subhas Chanfra Bose? The specs were an integral part of their identity. How different would they have looked without those glasses. If we go back in history, the first person to wear specs was a priest named Nicholas Bullet. He used to wear specs to sign agreements. He was a French man, and apparently fashion began with the French. Nowadays, people include specs as a part of their accessories. No one treats it as a cure for their deficiency. With specs being so much in vogue, more and more companies are coming with various colours of glasses with unique features. Some include detachable handles, which are by far very economical. For, one does not have to buy many specs; all he has to do is change the handles. People match the colour of their specs with their clothes and go out.

Specs are considered as style statements. Frames can help define your personality better and accentuate your look. Thus, there certain norms that are to be followed while purchasing the right spectacle frame for self. These include:

1.  The thumb rule is to make sure that the top line of the frame should complement the eye line and the curve of the eyebrows. If a clash occurs between the frame and the eyebrows, it reeks of a clumsy look.
2. The frame should be in accordance to the shape of the face. There various types of face cuttings and they are :  Round face; Long face; Square face; Heart shaped face; Face with close set eyes.

• People with round face should opt for frames that are oval or rectangular. These frames help the face look slimmer while a round shaped frame add on the weight to the face.

• Person with a long face should choose bright coloured frames that have a greater emphasis on the horizontal planes. The frame should be designed in such a manner that both the rims should be equally visible. This makes the face smaller and gives symmetry.

• Person with a square shaped face should opt for oval or deep rounded frame which gives the face an oval look. If the jaw line is broader and heavy, emphasis should be laid on the top rim.  The lower rim should be round. The worst possible selection is a square frame.

• Person with a heart shaped face has a wider temple and a narrow jaw line. The frame should be slightly hinged in the middle or lower. The upper rim should be circular while joining the lower rim.

• Person with close set eyes should opt for a two toned frame that is lighter at the bridge and dark toned at the sides. A decorative hinge also works wonders.

Many of you still tend to become self conscious while wearing specs. So here are some famous celebrities you can draw inspiration from.

• People with square face check out Sarah Palin’s oval shaped glasses which wrecked havoc during her election campaigns. As well as Johnny Depp with his sophisticated oval shaped frames which he sports since the ‘90s.

• People with oval shaped face, feel blessed for most of the fashionable glasses will suit you. Check out for Tina Fey and Bono, for they tend to sport cool looks with their specs.

• People with round shaped face can check Lindsey Lohan. She tends to sport glasses at times that enhance her face.

• People with a heart shaped face should strongly avoid wide frames that tend to overpower the face. Try checking out Rihanna or Resse Witherspoon and the specs they flaunt.

• Lastly, people with oval shaped face should check out Kristen Dunst and the heavy frames they flaunt.
