1. Do your eyebrows
Eyebrows of the correct shape, suitable for your face shape and eye shape, painted in a salon with permanent paint, will transform your face and will not require pencil or mascara. Just comb them with a brush and you're done!
2. Choose clothes of the right shade
If you choose the color of your clothes wisely, you can easily make your face look fresher, your skin tone healthier, and your overall appearance more rested. The rules are simple: if you are a fair-skinned blonde, choose warm pastel shades. If you've been tired lately, haven't gotten enough sleep and your face looks sickly pale, while your hair color is from light brown to dark brown, choose cool shades of pink, yellow or red, shading them with contrasting white. If you are dark brown-haired, pay attention to warm shades of gray, sea blue, wine and emerald green. And if your type is light skin and dark hair, then your safe bet is any combination of black and white.
3. Watch your hair
15. Wash your face properly
Washing according to the Lazlo system will rid your skin of acne and comedones, return it to a healthy color, blush, and delay the need to visit a cosmetologist for a long time!

A person who looks presentable, successful and well-groomed always inspires favor and trust. The image of respectability contributes to the rapid establishment of contacts, the emergence of understanding, the location of the opposite sex, etc.
And to look like this, you don’t have to be the daughter of an oil tycoon - you just need to know a few secrets for creating your own expensive and stylish look.
12 lessons on creating an “expensive” look – style lessons for every day
Of course, when you have money, everything is easier. You can contact a stylist who will help you create an image, undergo a course of procedures in a beauty salon, choose expensive clothes in a fashion boutique, etc.
Alas, most of our citizens cannot afford such expenses.
But this is not a reason to give up, because there are many ways to look expensive without investing a lot of money.
The most important style lessons for your look:
- White and black. When choosing your outfit for the day, stick to one color of clothing – neutral. “All in white” or “all in black.” Playing with fabric textures will add sophistication. And, of course, take care of your hair - it should look like you just left the salon.
- Monochrome. An option for those who do not like monotony in their image. We choose a wardrobe in monochrome colors. We take one color as a basis, and then tastefully (!) “layer” other elements of clothing in shades of the chosen color. The emphasis is on the texture of the fabrics. For example, suede and knitwear, wool and leather, or silk and denim.
- Clothes to order. There is no need to go to the studio. A talented seamstress can be found in your city and outside the studio. We draw an exclusive sketch (to the best of our ability) ourselves, and then give it to the seamstress and wait for the masterpiece. This method will help to dilute your wardrobe not with the same type of “market” items, but with stylish and fashionable ones that no one else will have.
- Timeless style. It is not necessary to “run” behind seasonal trends; the best choice is the classics, which always remain timeless. This option allows you to look expensive and makes it easier to create your own fashionable look. For example, we put on dark branded jeans and a beautiful T-shirt with a “V” neckline. We add the right shoes and accessories to the look.
- The final accent. In this case we are talking about the details that complete the image. Just putting on a fashionable set of clothes is not enough; you must add, for example, a stylish hat, trench coat or raincoat. A small but important nuance, which, moreover, can be removed at any time.
- Gold. We are not keen on jewelry. The main secret of the jewelry part of the image is a little, but expensive. There is no need to hang a whole box of diamonds, chains and rings on yourself - one expensive bracelet or chain with a pendant is enough. In the absence of funds for gold, we choose high-quality branded jewelry (not market jewelry!). However, designer silver is always in trend! Cheaper, more accessible and also effective.
- "Geometric" bags.
Any woman knows that one of the most important items in her look is a high-quality expensive bag, which must necessarily match your ensemble. Don’t skimp on bags – don’t take them from shops near your house, “where it’s cheaper.” If your salary does not allow it, it is better to take 1-2 handbags, but expensive and universal ones. That is, suitable for any image. It is better to choose models made of smooth leather, preferably with a geometric shape. And, of course, with a minimum of details.
- Light print. Not intrusive, bright and large-scale, but light, emphasizing your style. For example, vertical or horizontal stripes.
- Your individual style. No decorations? Don't have a closet packed tightly with a mountain of expensive items? No problem! We create a harmonious image from what we have. The main task is to create your own unique style by adding a few catchy details. For example, a fashionable hat, scarf, wide belt, gloves, etc.
- Updating your old wardrobe!
Today there are a lot of ways to give old things a second life: make beautiful fashionable shorts out of old trousers, renew knocked-down shoe toes with rhinestones, decorate old worn jeans with embroidery, beads or other decor, sew a lot of fashionable pockets on worn shirts, etc. A little imagination, one “ a magical" basket with handicrafts - and voila! A new fashionable look is ready!
- Spectacular hairstyle. Even beautiful, but simply flowing hair is far from a sign of an “expensive” look. Your hair should look like you just jumped out of the beauty salon 5 minutes ago and ran on to business. Start every day with styling. Look online for hairstyles that suit you and that you can do yourself. Don't forget about hair care! A “dear” woman’s hair is always in great condition, shiny with a healthy shine, and beautifully styled.
- Cosmetics. One of the ways to emphasize the advantages and, as you know, hide the imperfections of the skin. You need to use cosmetics only in compliance with this rule and, of course, to a minimum, and not in “3 layers of plaster.”
And don't forget about perfume! Choose delicate and refined aromas - sophisticated, not cloying.
How to look expensive and well-groomed without special expenses?
Image, of course, does not “decide everything,” as they say. But a lot depends on the image. After all, at all times we are greeted “by our clothes” - from the business sphere to personal life.
It is important to always be on your toes and keep your finger on the pulse!
Here are a few more secrets for creating an image with “singing finances” in your wallet:
- Have you bought a new inexpensive item? Add some shine to it with details. For example, expensive beautiful buttons. Today, in sewing stores you can find real button masterpieces.
- If you are on the fashionable path of a dear woman, do not use knitwear in your look. At least in public. Also pass by suede.
- Fashion trends come to the background! An elegant classic should be your beacon. Buy yourself a blazer, a pencil skirt, a cardigan and a few more classic pieces that you can work with further, depending on the look you are creating.
- We choose bags, belts and shoes exclusively from genuine leather. You can’t spare money for this.
- The polyester lining of the coat can be replaced with silk.
- Particular attention to hairstyle, makeup, choice of perfume - and, of course, to your hands. The hands of a dear woman are always well-groomed, neat, and with a beautiful, fresh manicure.
- We don't buy things at the market. Quit this bad habit and never go back to it. At sales in fashion stores (which happen twice a year), you can buy high-quality clothes at significant discounts.
- Don't grab everything when you go shopping. Learn to deny yourself nonsense and unnecessary rubbish so that you have enough money for worthwhile things.
- Don't buy cheap perfumes. Don't buy perfumes that are too sweet. Don't pour half a bottle of perfume on yourself at a time. The aroma should be light and refined.
- Get rid of bad habits, gestures and words. A dear woman will never allow herself to smoke like a locomotive in public, spit, swear, or drink more than half a glass of wine in any company. A dear woman is always cultured, polite and is a “born” diplomat.
- When purchasing things, carefully check their quality – seams, lining, all zippers and buttons.
- No creases on tights, holes on socks, snags or pilling on clothes , old underwear and elongated knees on trousers or sweatpants. You should always look like a queen. Even if you spend the whole day at home alone, if you take out the trash or run out to buy bread.
Mistakes in the desire to look expensive and well-groomed - how to avoid bad taste and vulgarity?
Everyone is familiar with the word “vulgarity”. But, unfortunately, not everyone remembers him when choosing an image for the coming day.
This word became very popular among aristocrats after the revolution in France: this label was hung on representatives from the bourgeois class who had neither blue blood, nor knowledge and traditions, nor appropriate upbringing.
Nowadays, the “symptoms” of vulgarity have changed somewhat, but still the essence remains the same.
So, what not to do if you want to be an expensive woman - your potential mistakes in the image:
- Too catchy, bright, inept makeup. We remind you once again - beauty should be natural! That is, we carefully and discreetly emphasize the advantages and no less carefully hide the shortcomings. And nothing more! Only high-quality, well-thought-out makeup can become your “weapon,” but not the war paint of a girl from the village who first got her hands on cosmetics.
- Unnatural hair color. No green and purple, as well as red and blue “overflows”. This is “fashionable” for a girl of about 15, but not for an adult “dear” woman. Tired of monotony? There are many possibilities to change your hairstyle - cutting, perming, coloring and highlighting, etc.
- Don't overdo your manicure. Yes, nails should be well-groomed and beautiful, but not extended with a lot of sparkles, pebbles, etc. The ideal option is a stylish classic French on oval or square shaped nails (not triangular, not pointed!).
- Forget about eyelash extensions and creepy drawn-in (instead of plucked) eyebrows! Be closer to the image that Mother Nature gave you.
- Too much nudity. A dress with an open back is a good option for going out with your gentleman. But not for a shopping trip. You should also forget about too deep necklines, too short shorts and skirts and other things that reveal to the public what should be hidden from view.
- Bad taste is the main enemy. If you do not know how to walk in stilettos and high heels, choose other shoes. Thick platforms are for teenagers. The disheveled hippie look is for teenagers. Dress with sneakers - for teenagers. A translucent blouse with significant excess weight is tasteless. A tight dress with a too skinny figure is tasteless.
- No rhinestones or sparkles on clothes if there are too many of them. The emphasis in the image should be on one thing! If you sparkle like a Christmas tree, talking about style is inappropriate. Are you wearing a bright scarf? Just stop there. No more bright details in the image. Decided to wear a sweater with a print? Choose everything else in one color, black or white.
- Skin substitutes are a categorical taboo. Everything should be natural. Ruffles, bows, an abundance of lace - also “in the firebox”.
- If you decide to slightly open any part of your body, adding seductiveness to your image, choose either your legs, your décolleté, or your shoulders. Opening everything at once is the height of vulgarity.
- Be careful with red! Yes, it is winning, “expensive” and attention-grabbing. But only under certain conditions: you have an ideal figure, not too much red, the image is laconic, competent and complete.
- Tights with large mesh , with “original patterns”, with seals in the form of “cats”, etc. are vulgar! Choose the classics!
When creating your new expensive image, make allowances for age, body type, color type, etc.
And find time for healthy sleep, sports, hairdressing, body care.
If you liked our article and have any thoughts on this matter, please share with us. It is very important for us to know your opinion!
Many people claim that any woman will be beautiful with makeup, but without makeup, you have to try harder! In principle, this is how it is. Look at TV shows where ordinary, sometimes not very well-groomed women are turned into real beauties. The fact that makeup works wonders is a truth that does not require proof.
But daily makeup is so difficult. After all, you need to apply it carefully, try not to smudge it during the day, adjust it periodically, and in the evening, don’t forget to rinse it off! And sometimes you just want to relax, do nothing, and still look chic, beautiful and well-groomed!
In fact, it is quite possible to look well-groomed every day, even without makeup, you just need to prepare in advance:
1. Makeup artists stubbornly insist that one thing should be highlighted on the face - eyes or lips. Moreover, if we highlight the eyes, then the brightest “accent” should be the eyelashes and eyelash area. This is why there are all kinds of eye pencils and eyeliners. But what to do if your eyes are expressionless and your eyelashes are colorless. How, then, can you make your eyes bright without makeup? There are several ways:
- “Eternal” tattoo. That is, fill a permanent arrow above the eyelashes or make an interlash contour. With tattooing, your eyes will certainly not be lost: the arrows will not be erased, washed off, or smeared. Correct tattooing (using plant dyes) lasts from six months to two years. It is performed in the salon under local anesthesia. This method, of course, has many advantages, but there are even more possible disadvantages, such as unsuccessful application (and then what to do with this beauty?), allergies, besides, taste, like fashion, is changeable, what if you get tired of your “permanent arrow"? Therefore, it is better to think ten times, and if you are not ready for such a radical method, try the next method.
- Eyelash coloring. Here we are talking about painting with a special paint that will last up to several weeks and has no special contraindications (unless you have allergies, of course). Painted eyelashes automatically look brighter and, accordingly, the eyelash contour also stands out. Your look will become open and attractive.
- Eyelash extensions. We can talk endlessly about the beauty of eyelash extensions. If they were built up by a professional and did everything correctly, you can forget about mascara for up to three weeks (before correction is needed). There are also disadvantages to this method of looking well-groomed. An allergic reaction to the glue and deterioration of the condition of your own eyelashes is possible, especially if you constantly extend them, hence another negative factor; it is necessary to take breaks between extensions.
The most ideal way to look beautiful without eye makeup is take care of your own eyelashes. We buy castor oil and lubricate our eyelashes every day, at night. This method of constant care makes the eyes brighter without any disadvantages. In addition to castor oil, you can use other oils.
2. How to look well-groomed and beautiful without makeup? Keep an eye on your eyebrows! Well-defined, neat eyebrows are our everything! Have you noticed that On the face, it is the “frame” or lack thereof that catches the eye first. What can you do with your eyebrows to look beautiful and well-groomed? Basically, everything is the same as with eyelashes.
To give the eyebrows a certain shape, we use tweezers (and regularly, we don’t let them overgrow), comb them with a special brush and take care of them with the same oils.
If the eyebrows are very light, and you would like to make them brighter, we resort to tinting the eyebrows (with the same paint as the eyelashes), or to the most radical method - tattooing.
3.Complexion and clear skin. Even, smooth facial skin, without pimples and redness, does not need masking . Unfortunately, naturally perfect skin is very, very rare. In addition, we also “help” her look dull with poor nutrition and lack of care.
In addition to the mandatory standard daily facial skin care, morning and evening, for radiant skin you need to regularly scrub it, do self-massage, masks, eat right, and, most importantly, get a good night's sleep. It is advisable to regularly have your face cleaned by a cosmetologist. For example, combining mechanical (manual) with ultrasonic - removes pimples and deeply cleanses the skin.
If we talk about a well-groomed face, then the skin should really look perfect, even in such a problem area as the nose. Blackheads are unacceptable! The same facial cleansing will help remove them, or use special sticker strips. If visible red blood vessels or spots appear on the face, they can be removed with a laser. A light tan on the face, as well as on the whole body, is not necessary, but sometimes gives a more well-groomed appearance. Use a self-tanner or go to a solarium.
4. Lips . No one has come up with anything better for lips than natural scrub and nutrition. For example, on honey. It is very good to massage your lips with a toothbrush - it removes dead skin particles and increases blood flow to your lips. Naturally pink plump lips are guaranteed to you! And no makeup needed! Do not forget to protect your lips from the drying sun, strong wind and frost - use hygiene balms.
5. For a beautiful smile, take care of your teeth. It is very good, in addition to daily brushing of teeth, to have a hygienic cleaning at the dentist every six months, with teeth polished. After such cleaning, the teeth are cleared of tartar and plaque, which prevents many unnecessary diseases, and they look lighter and shinier. In special cases, use teeth whitening, at home or by a professional dentist.
6. And, of course, with makeup or lack thereof, but without well-groomed hair it’s hard to look beautiful . Therefore, we regularly pamper our hair: balms, masks - all kinds of nutrition and moisturization of the hair. We find the right hairdresser, regularly touch up and trim the ends. We make sure that our hair is clean every day; if necessary, we use dry shampoo to remove oil from the hair.
One more thing. Out of habit, looking well-groomed and beautiful without makeup is quite difficult. And the difficulty here lies both in the regularity and consistency of self-care, and in the psychological attitude.
At first, you may feel that without makeup you become expressionless and dull. Try to overcome this stereotype, love your natural self, take care of yourself, and then you will look beautiful at any time of the day and in any situation!

Naturalness has always been in fashion. Nowadays, girls spend a lot of time applying makeup, which should create the effect of no makeup. In fact, natural beauty is quite accessible to everyone. Here are ten simple tips that will make your face attractive without foundation, lipstick and other cosmetics.
Make sure your eyebrows look perfect
On a face without makeup, eyebrows will inevitably be the center of attention. Shape them to suit your face shape. If necessary, tint your eyebrows with dye or henna. When choosing a shade, make sure it matches your skin tone. If you have sparse eyebrows, try applying a mixture of castor oil and vitamin A to them daily. In a few weeks you will notice an amazing transformation in your eyebrows. 
Focus on the eyes
To make your look more expressive, curl your eyelashes using a special eyelash curler, and then apply a transparent gel to them. You can even get false eyelashes. Get rid of dark circles under your eyes. To do this, you will need to reconsider your diet: dark circles may be the result of a lack of iron or B vitamins in your body. Use eye creams with a whitening effect or containing retinol. Compresses with mint or green tea will also help. 
Whiten your teeth
A bright smile adds a hundred points to any appearance. You should try to make sure that nothing spoils your appearance. Use whitening toothpaste, which is especially useful after drinking coffee or wine. But do not use it constantly, because this paste is quite harsh on tooth enamel. If your teeth are naturally gray or yellow, have them whitened by a professional. 
Don't forget about your lips
Nourishing and moisturizing the skin, as well as regular exfoliation, is what not only the skin of the face needs, but also the lips. Use lip balms; if desired, they can be replaced with olive oil or other natural oils. Once a week, massage your lips with a soft toothbrush or sugar. 
Take care of your hair
Dull hair color and a long-done haircut do not decorate your face without makeup. Choose a simple hairstyle and natural hair tones because more dramatic options will not go with the natural look of your face. Get rid of split ends, use heat-resistant styling products, and don't put too much gel in your hair. To make your hair shine, you can use coconut oil, which helps against dandruff and excessive dryness. Rinse your hair with herbal infusions, which also add shine to your hair. 
Use sunscreen
Ultraviolet radiation greatly increases the likelihood of premature wrinkles and other unpleasant bonuses of aging, and it can lead to skin cancer, which especially often affects white-skinned people. Products with sunscreen should not only be used when going to the beach, but throughout the year. 
Focus on your skin
Cosmetologists are sure that you should wash your face no more than twice a day. It is best to wash your face before going to bed, and in the morning just wipe your skin with lotion or an ice cube. It is especially important not to rub the skin too much, so as not to harm it. Make masks regularly, it is very useful. If your skin is not too sensitive, you can also use scrubs. 
Get enough sleep
Adequate sleep - a minimum of seven to nine hours - is what is needed to maintain excellent skin and overall good health. Go to bed at eleven in the evening, because after midnight the body begins to produce one of the most important “beauty hormones” - melatonin. Try sleeping on your back to reduce the likelihood of premature wrinkles. 
Research has shown that there is a direct connection between skin condition and food. Fatty sea fish, vegetable fats, seeds and nuts are among the most important foods. They are sources of fatty acids, vitamin E and carotene, which are important in fighting simple radicals. Dairy products should also be present in your menu, because they are key elements for healthy microflora. 
Find your shades
If you choose the right shade of clothing to match your appearance, your skin will appear more even and smooth, and your face will become more expressive. Skin without foundation appears paler, so do not aggravate the situation with too dark and cool shades. White won't work too well either. Pure and bright shades are best: blue, turquoise, emerald, peach. Determine your color type and select things according to certain rules.
