Focus on your hairstyle
Hair is a Game changer. You can look totally different with different hair. Hair is about nicely framing your face and making it pop!. If you have curly hair, try using Auntie Jackie’s curling Gel right after you wash your hair and let it try naturally. For straight hair try using Garnier flattering iron spray /serum that helps you get that sleek anti-frizz look.
If you have fine hair don’t pull it back in a bun or ponytail, let it loose and maybe use dry shampoo or volumising sprays to make your hair look full and shiny. Avoid strengthening beautiful hair because it will make your hair look awfully flat and lifeless, try curling crimping instead. For bad hair days, a high ponytail can hide those tangles and oiliness.
I know a lot of women love to see Bangs on fictional characters like ’Mia Wallace’ from Pulp Fiction. However, bangs do fit every face. If you have a tiny forehead and narrow forehead with a smaller face chances are it’s going to look bad. However, if you have a larger face with a small forehead, you can pull it off. It’s all about your face structure and what looks proportionate to your face.

Start by coating your freshly made-up in baby powder, then submerging it briefly (15 to 30 seconds) in a bowl filled with water.
