A simple guide to becoming fashion forward

Becoming fashion forward sounds a lot harder than it actually is. It only takes making a few basic adjustments and your well on your way to looking and feeling better about yourself. Fashion is and has always been a repeat of itself; style is and has always been what you make of fashion.


ü  I’m sure you’re on social media, if you are like and/or follow a couple fashion/beauty pages to keep you abreast with what’s happening in the ever so changing fashion/beauty world. If you’re not on social media you can check out newspapers, magazines and blogs.

ü  There is a difference between being inspired and copying a look, know it. Copying someone’s look has a slim chance of working to your advantage just because of the fact that everyone is different and was made in his/her own image and liking. It’s very okay to be inspired by a look and tweak it to suit your needs.

ü  Do not wear what you are not confident or comfortable in.

ü  Dress for your body, not age. Legs toned enough for shorts? Show off what you've got—while you've still got it.

ü  Own a ‘stylist emergency kit’, this kit should include but not limited to double-stick tape for loose hems or a gaping bodice, tide To Go eraser pen for getting wine off whites, safety pins for allover damage control, bra clip to control peek-a-boo straps, lint brush or roller and makeup sponge or baby wipes for removing deodorant stains.

Colour Analysis: Choosing the right make-up for you

There are a lot of factors to consider when choosing your make-up but the most important factor in my opinion is being able to choose the right colour and shade. If your base make-up such as your foundation isn’t the correct shade for your skin, it can throw off your entire look. When considering shades for yourself, knowing your undertone is crucial because as I said in my previous article “your undertone is what determines what colours and shades look best on you.” Warm toned women are women with yellow, golden or peach undertones. You look best in gold jewelry. Gold, Copper, Bronze, Earth Tones and Orange-reds are your complimentary colours. In this case your foundation should be Yellow or Peach based; therefore look for shades with a ‘W’ in the name (E.G. Buff 6W). Warm shades lipstick, blush and/or bronzer to look for are peaches, peachy pinks, oranges, corals and orange-y reds. Cool toned women are women with pink, red or blue undertones. You look best in silver jewel...

My addiction (make-up haul)

Since school is out and there’s no traffic, I've had extra time to browse around beauty supply stores before and after work (don’t ask lol). So far this week I’ve been able to pick up a few things that I’ve been meaning to get for a while now. I haven’t gotten a chance to use any of these babies yet but I promise as soon as I do I will post my reviews. NYX Mosaic Powder Blush in Café – I saw this and instantly fell in love.  I love that this is mild and not too pigmented, it’s perfect for giving me that gorgeous glowing finish that I’m obsessed with. NYX HD High Definition Eye Shadow Base – I came across a review about this particular product on youtube and decided to give it a try. I haven’t gotten the Urban Decay Primer (that everyone has been raving about) as yet so I would use this in the interim. Milani Lipstick in the colour Sweet Nectar – This a bright orange lip colour that I kept putting off getting, not too sure why though because orange is one of the ...
