Makeover Tips for Girls

We have all grown up reading fairy tales like Cinderella and watching movies like My Fair Lady, waiting for our own fairy godmothers and Professor Higgins' to wave their magic wands and transform us to unleash our inner beauty so that it would reflect on the outside. But then those are childhood dreams and they wane with time, much like our earlier unwavering faith in Santa Claus. So, like presents from our loved ones replace those from Santa, the magic wand that our well wishing patrons brandished for us is replaced by two much more practical and possible, almost magical objects - makeup and fashionable clothes. Just complement the right makeup techniques with the current fashion trends and you have the perfect makeover. In this article, we provide for you the perfect makeover tips for girls, to let out your inner beauty queen.

For a makeover that will surprise everyone you know, you will need to move out of your comfort zone. If you are tomboy, who has always been comfortable in a pair of shorts and a t-back, then you need to become a little more girl like in your demeanor. On the other hand, if you are someone who is generally perceived as mild and meek, then a little boldness in your wardrobe and your makeup would revamp your look. But the changes need to be acceptable to you. Do not follow a trend blindly, unless you think that it would suit you and definitely do not constrain yourself to fashion diktats. While there are some people who can carry off almost all looks, there are others amongst us, who are not that lucky and need to be careful about what suits us. If you are unsure about what to wear and how to apply makeup, consult a stylist who can help you out. This article on makeover tips for girls gives you the basics that you can use to change your style quotient.

Makeup and Clothing Tips for Girls

Giving makeover tips in a generic manner is not easy because it needs to be very personalized. Every person has a style that suits them according to their body structure. The makeover tips for girls and women given here may not help you change your look completely but will definitely make you stand out in the crowd with the way you carry yourself.

    * Always try and opt for a natural makeup look. This will retain the innocence and freshness of your face, and yet make you appear more mature. If you do want to experiment, then opt to innovate with eye makeup. Experiment with eye shadows and eyeliners of different colors and shades. Use paler, pastel colors and shades that accentuate your skin tone in the morning. If you like to wear glitter makeup, then restrict the use of an eyeshadow with glitter to the evenings, when you are going out for a party or other such occasions. As a girl, it is always better to opt for a lip gloss as compared to a lipstick which tends to make you look older. Always keep your skin clean and moisturized and clean any trace of makeup before you go to bed.
    * One of the best ways to change the way you look is to go in for a haircut. Go to a professional who can help you choose a style that will suit your face shape and is also in fashion. Opt for hair highlights and lowlights, depending on your preference. As a young girl, you can try shades that may seem dramatic like pink, purple or my personal favorite, electric blue. Hairstyles with bangs are a current rage and suit youthful appearances. Hair makeover tips for black women and girls who have curly or frizzy hair is to use a hair serum. For hairstyles, you can opt to straighten the top section of your hair and cut them into bangs. Use hair accessories like hair bands and clips to enhance the look.
    * Nail art is a good way to draw attention to your hands. Go wild with different nail art variations. You can opt for polka dots, stripes, designs, gems, stick-ons; the options are endless.
    * Always use a moisturizer and a sunscreen before you step out to ensure proper skin care.
    * When it comes to clothing, it is important to add color to your ensemble. This is one of the most important makeover tips for women and girls. Most of us tend to be monochromatic in our look and stick to a favorite color while buying clothes. Experiment with new colors and shades. Also try out new styles that appeal to your taste.
    * Accessorize. It is key to any look. Depending on the style you are sporting, accessorize your look. If you are going in for a rocker chick look, then wear silver chains looped with your belt, boots or converse shoes, silver earrings, etc. If preppy clothes are more your style, then wear pearl necklaces, match your belts with your shoes, wear hair bands and other such accessories. A single show stopping accessory should not be overshadowed by other trinkets. Try and minimize the urge to wear too much jewelry. Over-accessorizing can kill the look of an outfit.

These are some makeover tips that you can use, if you are trying to change the look that you present to the world everyday. There is no one day miracle solution. The change will take time and a lot of perseverance on your part. It will be easy to be tempted to let go and slip back into routine. But if you really want a Tim Gunn or Trinny and Susannah style miracle, then you will need to work at it.
