Take heed….

Fashion Tips for the New Season

The same thing happens to me every year: in February I’m so ready for the warmer weather to arrive that I “almost” don’t feel like going shopping, since I don’t want anything else for winter and I won’t be able to use anything I buy for the spring since it’s still cold outside. But, good planner that I am, I’ve already started to pay attention to the new clothing collections and accessories. So if, like me, you are already planning your look for the new season, here are the tips you need to keep in mind:

Tip #1: Makeup-like Shades in Nude, Pastels, and Cream
If you can use only one color this spring, let it be nude (or a pastel or cream). Choose the shade that looks best with your skin. You can choose a dress or a blouse in a light fabric. These colors are very becoming, especially if you have slightly darker skin (note that this year we won’t see intense bronzing, but rather – fortunately for me – a light golden tone).

How can you know which color looks best on you? It’s very easy. Simply hold up (or try on) a piece of clothing when you’re wearing makeup and are well-dressed. If you see that your skin is automatically brighter and you look better, you’ve found it! If, instead, your under-eye circles and imperfections become more noticeable, it isn’t your color, so look for something darker or lighter.

Finding the right shade in these types of colors is difficult, especially if (like me) you are very light-skinned (if your skin is darker or lightly bronzed, you’ll look great in practically any shade of cream or nude). I take the clothing home (always making sure that I can return it) and try it on under lighting that I can control, with the accessories I plan to use.

Dresses in these shades are killer, and if you wear them with a short suede jacket in the same color, you can wear them a little sooner in the year.

Tip #2: The “Must-Have Color of Spring: Coral
This spring is not all about subtle colors. The color you’ll see this year, and which is also very attractive, is an intense coral shade. You’ll see it in clothing, but also in lipstick and nail polish.

If you’re going to a wedding or another important event, dare to use this becoming, trendy color. An orange-colored dress is one of the pieces on my list for this season. I haven’t found it yet, but I will.

Tip #3: And Black, Too – Yes, in Spring!
I already know that I wear a lot of black, but let me tell you that it’s such a becoming color for me! But be careful – you need to be cautious in choosing black clothing. First, if you wear all black, you must make sure that the colors on the top and bottom match perfectly and are made from the same material. Also, you need to make sure that the clothing is perfectly ironed and impeccable. If you wear a black sweater with pilling, it won’t look good, and if it’s black the pilling will definitely be noticeable!

Black is normally a color for winter, but it will be in use this spring (lucky for me, since half my wardrobe is black, although I combine the pieces with colorful accessories). I’m already looking for the perfect little black dress for spring. Of course, if you don’t like wearing black, you can opt for pure white, as well as one of the winning combinations of all time: black with white. Remember that if you want to minimize your hips, you should use black for the lower part of your outfit and combine it with a white blouse or top.

Tip #4: Safari, Military, and Khaki Styles in Dark Green
I like this tip, because I look good in safari-style clothing – that is, typical khaki pants with a silk safari-style blouse (with pockets on the chest) and really high-heeled brown sandals. Dark green shirts, jackets, and pants are very becoming. If the piece has a touch of military style, it’s even better. Wear these pieces with brown accessories, like dark brown belts and suede handbags. I’ve already found an intense green shirt that will soon be part of my wardrobe.

Tip #5: Sexy and Comfortable Accessories
Oh, here’s a trick! Look on the sales racks for pieces that fit with the new season’s trends…. I just bought some wedge-heel, peep-toe shoes in Uterqüe that were marked down 70%. ? Wedge-heel shoes are definitely going to be key pieces this season. That’s great, because they’re very comfortable and incredibly sexy. Also, if you don’t already have them, search for some high-heeled sandals with brown straps – you’ll wear them with everything.

In different archaeological digs evidences have been found of different types of cosmetics that date back to the Ancient Egypt, more or less in 4000 B.C.; as for what the excavations show, anyway, not only the ancient Egyptians, but also the Sumerians, as the little statues found in the ancient Ur demonstrate, the ancient Greeks and the Romans.

The following populations, in almost all the periods until 1800, made a large use of cosmetics, excluding only the poorest social stratums; then, cosmetics went through a period of open and decided denial during queen Victoria’s reign, in XIX century, because it was considered an impoliteness. After that period, anyway, the makeup returned to its precedent use and, excluding a brief period during the Nazi era, never left its position again, though it changed according to the various fashions and periods.

Nowadays the make-up is very used and varies according not only to the personal preferences and of the fashions, but even according to the occasions: the bride makeup, for example, is surely different from the everyday’s makeup, as well as from the kind of cosmetics used for other occasions. After all, the aim is always that of looking more beautiful, following the models of beauty of the moment: the skills of those who make themselves up, or of the makeup artists, are evident when they catch the details that should be pointed out because they are particularly beautiful, and at the same time make the defects less evident, that can be peculiar physical conformations or even unmissable misfortunes: little passing imperfections always arrive in the most inopportune moment.

Today make-up actually became a profession: thanks to their everyday’s experience, the make-up artists can catch at first sight the fundamental details of the faces of the people. The occasions to go to a make-up artist are the most varied, from weddings to photographical makeup, from personal important occasions to working happenings…and for every situation the professionals, that you will have to choose among a long list, will be able to choose the most suitable style to notice point out, improve.

Talking about makeup, then, you include various things, starting from hands and feet, hence manicure, pedicure and nail polish, that like anything else follows different fashions and tendencies, and arriving to the face makeup, that gives the first impression and then is followed by the overview, accompanied by all the various, and perfectly studied, details.

To get ready for a big event you have to consider a lot of things; relying on the professional cares of a makeup artist you can immerge in the pleasant sensation that you feel when someone takes care of you: the only thing we need to do to make our part is staying relaxed, imagining of being Cleopatra.
