There are loads of great reasons to give yourself a makeover. A makeover can enhance your natural looks, improve your self-image, and give you a much-needed boost in confidence. The best part is, updating your look doesn’t have to cost a fortune. You can easily revamp your style at home with a few useful tools. Here are some ideas on how to give yourself a makeover at home, with added tips on how to make your new look eco-friendly.
Experiment with makeup
Makeup is a powerful tool that can enhance your natural looks and conceal skin issues like blemishes and scars. Many women wear makeup to boost their self-esteem and feel more confident in their appearance. Applying makeup and testing out new cosmetics can also be lots of fun. If you are new to makeup, then you can watch online tutorials to learn basic application techniques. You can also book makeup classes with a makeup artist to improve your skills and achieve a seamless look. Customer assistants working on beauty counters can also offer great advice and tips on what makeup to use and how to apply cosmetics. Some beauty stores also offer free makeovers with a makeup artist. This will allow you to sample new cosmetics and find what works best for your skin. Try to choose ethical makeup brands that support sustainability and animal welfare. Take a look at this article by Sustainable Jungle for the best green makeup and beauty brands.
Replace glasses with contacts
If you’ve worn glasses for a long time, then switching to contacts can transform your appearance. Most people look completely different without their glasses and lenses can increase your confidence. One day lenses are easy to put in and comfortable to wear. You can choose to wear contact lenses every day or just replace them with your glasses on certain occasions e.g. if you are going out for a meal with friends or doing outdoor activities.
Hit the local thrift stores
No makeover is complete without changing your clothes and updating your style. What you wear has a big impact on the way that people perceive you. You should try to find a unique clothing style that reflects your personality and taste. Shopping in thrift stores is a budget-friendly way to update your wardrobe and it is more environmentally friendly than buying new clothes. Plus, thrift stores tend to be full of hidden treasures and one-off items that cannot be found in mainstream stores. Purchasing clothes from thrift stores will help you create a striking and unique look. Try to visit your local thrift stores regularly as new items will come in all the time from donations.
