Change the way you look

For those who want to make themselves over with a fresh new look, here are some makeover tips. Don’t rush into overhauling your look. Try a new shade of lipstick today and a new hairstyle the day after?

With the help of a stylist or personal shopper learn how to pick out the pieces that best suit your body shape and proportion.

For your face, get advice from a beauty adviser at a make- up counter. Get your brows professionally shaped so they better complement your features. Pick the right foundation and concealer shades that even out your skin tone, but still look natural.

Nothing can refresh your look faster than getting a new hairdo. Stop hiding behind your hair. Bangs, a new hair shape or even some asymmetry can lift your features.

The right colours can brighten up your skin tone. Choose one to focus on – it could be your eyes ( try a bright liner), lips ( try a bold rouge) or even cheekbones ( give a poppy shade, like coral a go) – and keep everything else muted with clean, neutral colours. — The Straits Times / Asia News Network
