What does your hairstyle say about YOU?

Messy Bun


You don't care about looking perfect, you are happy to put your hair up and walk out the door. This hairstyle is great for lazy days or days where you just want to feel comfortable. It can be a really good hairstyle - you can add a cute hair clip, a hairband or any hair accessory you like to liven it up - but sometimes its good to leave it plain. Overall, you are a great person to be around and you don't care much about your appearance. (Lots of celebrities nail this look too!)

Ponytail and side ponytail

You can keep your hair straight or curl it, you can put a hair accessory on or you can do anything you like with it - be creative and make it your own. You can put it to the side to show you have a bit of attitude. Overall, you like to be practical and stylish at the same time.

Foundation disasters

As you know, I LOVE natural make-up! I love how you can wear it anywhere at anytime, its quick and easy to apply, but unfortunately for some, that isn't a look they desire. Some girls at my school look like they shoved their head in a packet of doritos! When they are wearing a white top you can see the orangy coloured marks, plus if they hug someone the foundation often comes of and goes onto their clothes - a definate no-no for me. I'm not saying that you shouldn't wear foundation as it isn't my choice, but I would suggest not to pile it on.

I use a bit of tinted moisturizer - not only is it a moisturizer it also has sun block in it too! You can add a bit of colour and stay safe from the sun! :) It is very easy to apply, you just smooth it on evenly just like you normally would. (You can get any subtle colour to suit your skin tone).          


If you are unsure what tone would suit you, ask the people who are selling the item or even ask any member of staff you see around the shop - they will tell you exactly what tone to choose for you.


Of course foundation or concealer is great for covering spots or any blemishes on your face, however, not everyone uses foundation in huge masses or every day, some people put on a bit to add a tone to their face.


There is one thing to look out for though - STREAKS! If you don't apply your foundation/tinted moisturizer (or whatever product you use) you will have streaks on your face, this is NOT a good look - it seems tacky and cheap. Make sure you apply it evenly. To help you to avoid streaks, you can buy sponges or brushes to apply the product (some products come with it).

What does your nail polish colour say about YOU?

Clear

Clear nail polish colours are for people who are very neutral. Clear nail polish portrays that you are very easy-going and don't get upset easily. You don't need the attention of others every minute of the day and you are happy with yourself the way you are.

Hot pink

This colour is for the spunky and spicy. A very feminine colour, hot pink is for the kids who embrace a bit of girliness, who also have a touch of attitude. 

Pale pink

Again this colour is for people who embrace their femininity. But being a more subtle shade this colour shows that you are very timid and don't want to stand out. You're not a complete wallflower but you have a soft side.

Red

This colour tells people you are vivacious. You are strong and want things to go your way - all the time. You are also a passionate character and it goes without saying that you are extremely outgoing and sexy. Parties are your favourite thing in the world and you need to be noticed. And you won't leave a do without speaking your mind.

Blue

Blue is the colour of authority. Put it on and people will know you're in charge. Blue also has that masculine edge and shows people you like to channel your inner boy.

Purple

Purple is the colour of royalty. This colour also shows sophistication. You have spectacular manners, refined taste in fashion, food and fun, and you also carry a quiet confidence that is the envy of others. Plus if your a Justin Bieber fan it's his favourite colour!

Orange

People who wear orange are the most optimistic of the lot. They are bright and vibrant and nothing will get them down.

Brown or green

Brown or green coloured nail polishes are for the nature-loving lot. Energetic and spiritual, you love Mother Nature.

French manicure

This nail colour is the epitome of glamour. No one can quite keep up with your style and za-zoom. You don't need to say too much as your natural elegance exudes enough already. It can also show you are quite a neat person and proud of yourself.

I used Barry M nail polish images as I LOVE it! Any other good nail polish brands will have these colours, so go out there and find your colour :)
