8 Zero-Commitment Ways to Change Your Look in 2014Even if a major makeover isn't in the cards -- or budget -- this year, you can still reinvent yourself this month. Here are eight easy ways to change your look |
Makeup: Try a lip stain Lipstick -- the brighter the better -- has made a comeback in recent years. But if you're anything like me, you probably have a dozen tubes of colors you love but never wear. Enter: the lip stain. The new formulas are anything but drying, and you don't have to worry about them ending up on your teeth.
My favorite splurge is Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture Glossy Stain, $32. It feels exactly like a gloss, but really lasts -- and it comes in amazing colors. A more affordable option, Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain, $8.99, will also last through an entire night out, and is as moisturizing as your favorite lip balm.

Seriously, I have tried about 10 different faux tanners. I bought Paula's Choice product, and it was really amazing. First time I used one up and ordered another, instead of throwing it away. Hope this helps someone.

You offer some excellent tips--parting your hair differently can give you an entirely different look (take your face shape into account here). But I contend that nothing rivals the beauty of virgin hair; once you have used a product with ammonia or peroxide, the cuticle is changed and damaged. Perhaps a henna is a better choice. I also don't care for BB creams. I have tried a plethora and have tried to love them; my skin is in good condition, but too many don't address uneven skin tone is certain areas and leave behind a weighty feel.

fun simple tips! I'll be trying some of these out, like the BB cream and the hair color. Not sure how I feel about nude nail polish though.
